I have nothing showing
Katie M. won--wtg!
Runnerspace does good job with the women then doesn't show the mens race till after 11 miles. Way to advertise full coverage of the Men's US Marathon coverage. They waited for the Women to be drug tested and chat with live interviews instead of showing the first half of the marathon. Typical garbage they call coverage. USATF should find themselves working with Flotrack or someone else atleast. Competitor gets Toni Revis to do the announcing and the best the USATF can do is runnerspace.
If Runner's Space is showing it, it's not going to be good. They have done poor coverage all year with the championships. I've tried finding full race videos of any of them and I'm not finding them. With Nike being controlling the sight, you would think they would have better camera's and access to the press truck and stuff like that. They should let more than one site cover these races so we can get the best quality possible. It should up there game.
AWARDS?! Who wants to watch the awards??
This guy is walking around the elite ladies tent with a very creepy voice. Is this a saturday night live skit?
I'm not even seeing a link to a live feed on the USA Running Circuit site. Where is it?
Ok, getting it now. It wasn't showing up for some reason on the main page for me.
Haha now they are showing us the roads of Minnisota. This site is a joke so is the coverage.
Here is the site guy:
Why don't you do it then hotshot?
It's free, and it's the only game in town right now. Cut them some slack.
The coverage is horrible. They're the only show in town, because Flotrack (which does a great job) isn't allowed to film these events... Runnerspace has exclusive rights and then messes it up consistently. That is why people are pissed.

Did you really want to watch the entire marathon?
Its not totally runnerspace's fault. It's true they don't have the experience and technology to do great road racing coverage, it's difficult to do. But it's more the fault of usatf for their weak support of their own events. They do things as cheap as possible and this is the result. Until they put effort into creating value for their own events we will continue to get subpar coverage and in doing so actually cause these events to loose value. Our sport is a joke because the governing body treats it like a middle school fun run
Give TCM a break! At least the overhead clock is working this year. Couple of year's ago the finish line clock was as blank as the stare on the official's faces. Last year I was stuck on a bus, oh wait, not supposed to bring that up.
And this is from the head of women's running, no wander usatf is in such a mess.
runner space sucks so bad. give it to flotrack or a body where everyone knows where to look. This guy has blown his load all over fernando cabada clapping his hands. so stupid
Does anyone know what pace they're running? I've been watching without sound.
The fact of the matter is USATF only gave permission for runnerspace to do it. The only reason I can think of for doing that is they have never seen the kind of coverage runnerspace provides. I mean USATF get your head out of your asses and try watching a live stream of one of these races. Runnerspace if you can't do a good job then just don't cover these races. Let someone else. You do a good job covering meets at hayward. Stick to that and let people with the equipment, the ability, the knowledge, and the professionalism cover the US Champs. This is the first time I ever saw a cameraman ask a runner how they are feeling during the race. Come on really guy?
