I just learned that the men's and women's high jump world records have stood for 31 and 35 years, respectively. Can someone from the field community explain this to me?
I used to pick up the pace when I saw another runner in the wild so I looked like I knew what I was doing. Now I slow down and make sure I'm firmly in zone 2 so I don't look like an idiot.
The fittest humans on earth are running easy at least four times per week. Start there.
I'm just glad that the Kenyans who are not doing drugs are the ones winning races and setting world records.
Triathletes should look at swimming butterfly the same way as running hills. You can get by without it, but just a little stimulus—say, once a week, encompassing roughly 25% of a workout—can go a long way in overall development.
Current power rankings of live triathlon broadcasting: 1. @supertri_ 2. @worldtriathlon 3. @CLASHENDURANCE 4. @t100triathlon 5. @IRONMANtri
Triathlon fans: we just want a real-time leader board and commentary that isn't awkward. @t100triathlon: Here's a crypto currency that allows you to invest in your favorite pro.
After being immersed in triathlon for the last 20 years, it's reassuring to see a larger audience realize the women's version of a sport can be as good or better. It takes an unprecedented athlete. I was lucky to start covering tri when @chrissiesmiles was terrifying the dudes.
Going from watching Oceanside 70.3 yesterday to Paris-Roubaix today is like going from church to an orgy.
The most impressive part of long-course triathlon coverage is that it's still regressing.
If you think a morning cold plunge will change your life you should really try this thing called swimming instead.
Anyone else run a little farther and harder today because of what a #smalleuropeanwoman did in Tennessee yesterday? #BM100
Eight finishers the past two years and Laz is running out of chances to hurt people. You have to be a really sick fuck to apply for Barkleys 2025. #BM100
Go home everybody, a #smalleuropeanwoman just won Women's History Month #BM100 x.com/keithdunn/stat…
Go home everybody, a #smalleuropeanwoman just won Women's History Month #BM100 x.com/keithdunn/stat…
The fact that #smalleuropeanwoman is trending globally is a testament to the will and courage of @JasminKParis and also how sick @keithdunn is at tweeting. #BM100
Imagine watching college basketball right now when you could be waiting for some nondescript guy named Keith to tweet about a bunch of weirdos jogging around a Tennessee state park while looking for book pages. #BM100
Forecast for #BM100 looks ideal for everyone except Laz. Temps should remain between 30-60F with no rain. How many finishers this year?
Every other race on earth: Here's the time, exact route, and hash tag. Barkley Marathons: Here's the hash tag, and go fuck yourself #BM100

Here you go folks. Listen to the latest Nobody Asked Us with @des_linden and Kara wherever you enjoy your podcasts or watch us on YouTube. 🙌🏼
When I need a good pick-me-up I stop and think about @karagoucher’s most recent Nobody Asked Us intro, and then I laugh and laugh and laugh. New episode dropping tomorrow. Don’t miss it.
@bbculp Despite massive PED use, Athletics’ halcyon days are long gone. One factor could be a shrunken talent pool for events that no longer provide enough financial means for athletes.
@bbculp Because the best jumper since him was only 5'11"
@bbculp @lord_lordy You and me high jumping …
@bbculp I've Commentated the Field Event Action for the Livestream Broadcast for the Canadian Track & Field Championships the last 2 years!
@bbculp Of active jumpers Mutaz Barsham - #2 All Time - is only 2cm behind Sotomayer. Barsham has extraordinary technique. Insane lift, and drape. But at 32, his absolute years may be behind him. Who knows?
@bbculp FWIW Sotomayer (Mens WR) was caught for using Steroids 2x and after the 2nd time was banned for life. So there's that!
@bbculp What’s the minimum increment? The bigger the minimum improvement to beat the record the harder. Eg imagine if 100m sprints were measured only to the second. ( as an extreme illustration)
@bbculp Great question that no one seems to know the answer for so far. Are there similar examples from other less high profile sports too?
@bbculp Javier Sotomayor was a magical jumper. Generational talents often hold the jumps records for a long time. The triple jump record has stood since 1995 and the long jump since 1991. Shoe technology has had little impact on these events so they have to genuinely beat the record.
@bbculp The jumpers today actually seem more muscular? I'm not sure PEDs fully explain it. It's weird.
@bbculp Interesting question! The peanut gallery sure is on this one, but I’d love to hear a thoughtful theory. Are the fancy shoes not helping jumpers? I’d think carbon fiber would help the jumps too.
