In the 2024 x-country season, Blade and Olympic Trials qualifier Englehardt are tied 1-1 against each other; stay tuned for more fireworks. 😍
Blade beating Engelhardt at the joke of a course at Woodbridge and then losing at Woodward Park doesnt fair well for her at NXN. Seems like she's not so good with challenge on a XC course.

That's not fair. she ran 16:31 at woodward park. A course that has been around forever and had many fast runners run on it. That is only 1 second away from Claudia Lane's previous course record

What did this person say? How would anyone say anything negative about running the #3 time ever?
I actually know someone who did so many pushups that it caused too much of their muscle to flood their bloodstream and they had to go to the hospital. They were a former rec gymnast in a push up contest on Manhattan beach, and thought they could go up against a marine. they are fine now.
Remember balance and moderation are key. Let's be careful not to glorify overexertion especially at younger ages. I'm sure she's a good kid and all, and has a bright future in whatever she does. But these articles sometimes make me queasy because I'm at an age where I've seen the story play out.
Interesting article about Blade’s drive/path to the nation’s top xc runner
"Being her best also has meant developing a sense of kindness, respect and humility in how she moves through the world, she said.
“I feel like how you treat people is a sign of your character. I don’t want to be rude. I don’t want to be arrogant. If I’m not being a good person, I feel like I failed. If I was ever purposely mean to somebody, it would make me feel bad as a person.”"

That’s incredible. But for the top running performance effort balanced with rest is very important. Muscle fatigue happens and you’re at best when you’re not over exerted.
