I run the 100 meter but I bought mid distance shoes but I didn't know that they were 😩. Is it still ok for me to use in the 100

I'm gonna say yes you can use them but its better to use actual sprinter spikes, i used to use mid shoes when i was a sprinter in HS but thats just because i was a brat and didnt like the uncomfortable plated bottoms of sprinter spikes, in the end shoes are shoes and its really what you believe suits you best! 

hope that helps :)

So, I started running over summer, and I managed to build up to 13 miles, although it was in 2:02. But, I joined my school's track team, and it's just so completely different. I'm the slowest on my team. I have no desire to quit, but, i'm just worried, will I get better?

I'm no expert on distance running when it comes to 6+miles but the way I see it you are your #1 competition. Who cares if you are the slowest on the team, everyone has to start somewhere, just listen to prefontaine ""I'm going to work so that it's a pure guts race at the end, and if it is, I am the only one who can win it." It's true he was a legend but talent or not he had determination, either being the best or worst he would still have the same passion for running as any true runner does. If you have that passion you will see results, take it day by day and don't give up and you will achieve what you never thought you could. I expect to hear from you when you reach your personal goals in the future :)

MAC uses a female bodybuilder and fitness model as the spokesmodel for its new “Strength” campaign:

Well-developed muscles are the embodiment of strength, and our culture doesn’t value physical strength in women. It might even be a little suspicious of it. A man with a six-pack is supposed to be sexy; a woman with a six-pack is supposed to be “mannish.” That stigma is why it’s so shocking to see [model Jelena] Abbou in a cosmetics ad: she’s styled and photographed in a way that glamourizes her and highlights her beauty and her femininity, but the ad also does not camouflage or attempt to minimize her incredible body. (Which is the usual treatment that athletes, particularly female athletes, get in fashion photography — for reference, just consider any time Vogue picks a lovely, slender, female athlete to be in a fashion spread.) In fact, Abbou’s muscular arms are the focus of this picture. That’s what makes this ad so striking, and so incredibly beautiful.

Read more about this rather remarkable ad campaign here.

This is stunning.

To my followers, this may not be track related but this is a blog for inspiration as well.

Women who have muscle are considered "manly". Many have in their mind that a woman cant have muscle and be girly, thats just a crazy thing right? As athletes I would hope the most of us would disagree, seeing as in our sport we must be at the top of our physical game to get any results, what MAC is doing is a huge step for the fitness and beauty world.

I'm fourteen year old girl and my coach at school suggested that I join a track club. I'm worried that I will be too slow though... So I was wondering if 29 seconds is an okay time for 200m?

you are never too slow for this sport. its all for the love of the game, or in this case, the race. 29 is an excellent base, you can always get better with enough training and passion. don't let your doubt limit your achievement.

Hey! I long jump and recently i cannot hit my mark, no matter if i move up, move forward.. i'm always reaching my last step and i'm always just over.. any advice?

hello,

sorry for such a delayed response. im no long jump coach. but not hitting marks or times is one of the most frustrating things. it may be a mental or physical block or both, take the time to go back and reflect on all the times you have achieved a PR, mentally its doubt that is limiting your body, you can put anything you put your mind to because in the end your mind the most powerful "muscle"... sorry if t didn't help but that what i kinda thing when i don't hit times. stop, think, concentrate, pursue and achieve. give me an update when season comes around :)
