    It's Time To Move On

    Murphy, who turned 30 in February, ran his 1:42.93 pb on the biggest stage of all - the Rio Olympics. He made a very nice retirement video which you can watch above.

    Doping News

    In January of 2021, the former world champ told a drug tester he needed to go get his passport in his car and then he sped off. His ban wasn't formally confirmed by CAS until February of this year. The AIU lists his ban as having ended in February but WADA tells us Aman could have technically competed during the last 4 years so his ban still got 3+ years to go even though the AIU database says it ended in February.

      Girma Update

      "He’s still feeling parts of the concussion coming to him when he reaches certain high speeds and levels," said Girma's agent Hussein Makke. "...He’s not normal yet. He’s able to train and he’s put in good workout sessions, but at such a point, a combination of intensity and other things, he feels some dizziness and some things...He's planning to come back and run his race when he’s close to 100%."

      Fred Kerley Drama At GST

      Johnson, a 2024 Olympian in the 100m hurdles, told Broward County police that Kerley struck her in the face, causing her nose to bleed. Kerley's girlfriend says that's not what happened. She sayd Johnson's girlfriend actually hit Johnson when fighting with Kerley.

      Why Did They Skip GST?

      GST's doubling requirement proved to be an issue for Hall, who has not raced a 200m since 2016, so he has withdrawn from the series and will race in the Diamond League this summer instead.

      Valby Update

      "She is on the mend,"said Parker's father and agent, Kyle. "I don’t want to get into [the specifics of the injury] at this point, but she is in good shape...I’ll be able to share more [about racing plans] in the future, we’re just waiting on a few things relative to her health. She’s in a good spot mentally."

      Kipyegon opens her season in Xiamen with nearly a WR But...

      On Wednesday, Nike announced that Kenya's Faith Kipyegon will attempt to break four minutes in the mile on June 26 in Paris. Spoiler alert. She's not going to break 4. And it's not going to be particularly close. Did you know the 1k time she ran on Saturday where she just nearly broke the WR is still below sub-4 mile pace?

      Shoe News

      Taylor Roe broke 15:00 for the 1st time in her career today, racing in the shoes for the 1st time. 5k man Amon Kemboi also loved them. "You kind of feel the bounce only," Kemboi said. "So even though you are tired, you feel just the drive it gives you when your legs are tired."

      Wejo Speaks

      Grand Slam Track took a big swing at its launch. It definitely didn't hit a home run, but the Diamond League and Athlos should be paying attention.

      The Olympic bronze medallist only broke 70m for the first time 4 days ago and now he's got six throws in a row over 70, all coming at all coming at Throws Town.in Oklahoma - at the same site where the WR was set.

      More From The Ten

      Bekele and Sound Running's Jesse Williams, meet director for The TEN, explain why the Ethiopian star Telahun Bekele, who is racing GST this weekend, missed the start on Saturday night and how he hit the World Championship standard anyway.

      Shelby Speaks

      Last week, Houlihan spoke with LetsRun.com for more than an hour with no questions off the table. Houlihan shares which supplements she took at the time of her positive test, why she said she didn't know what nandrolone is, running a 30:31 10k in practice, and her hopes for World Indoors and the rest of 2025.

      Stop Obsessing Over Your Diet

      The Record Books Are Getting Rewritten In 2025

      In the span of one week in February, runners broke five world indoor records and every American men's middle-distance record from 800m to 5000m. Jonathan Gault spoke to some of America's top athletes and coaches to find the reasons behind all of the fast times.

      One More Look at a Legendary Race

      From novice fans to running diehards, there was something for everyone (except perhaps Brits and Norwegians) to enjoy about one of the greatest middle distance races ever run.

      Blanks = NCAA XC x 2

      Just before Blanks chases a 5,000m pb and collegiate record in what is likely his final NCAA race at Boston University on Saturday, he told LetsRun about the key session of his 2024 XC season -- one he described as "probably the best workout I've had so far in my career."

      Jonathan Gault pays tribute to two legends

      Simpson and Centrowitz, who both 1st medalled in 2011 and retired in 2024, leave the sport as two of the faces on the Mt. Rushmore of American 1500m running after piling up a combined eight medals at global championships. And despite not ever finishing in the top 3 on the yearly 1500 list (Simpson's best was 4th, Centro's 9th), they will be remembered as two of the better milers of their generation.

      Expanding the number of world marathon majors to nine is an absurd idea unless the majors make one simple change that will instantly keep them being compelling, elite sporting events.
