Wow!!!

It was a fast and historic evening on the track on Thursday in St. Louis.

At the Hoka Festival of Miles, Ellery Lincoln became just the fourth high school girl to break 4:30 in the mile with an impressive 4:27.65. It stood up as the fastest time of the night even over the professional field, which saw Rachel McArthur defeat defending champion Christina Aragon by over four seconds in 4:27.91.

Studies show that walking at 3 mph on a steep incline of 16% to 18% can burn 70% more fat calories than running on a flat surface. The reason is simple: climbing forces your legs, glutes, and core to work harder, increasing muscle engagement and overall calorie burn.

The steep incline also raises your heart rate more than flat running at the same speed, putting greater demand on your cardiovascular system. Research indicates that incline walking not only burns more energy but also uses a higher percentage of fat as fuel compared to running. The added effort of moving uphill means your body expends more energy to fight gravity, giving you a greater metabolic boost in less time.

Despite the heat, hundreds crushed the Leprechaun Run at North Terrace Elementary today. Kids in kindergarten ran 1/4 mile, while the other grades ran one mile. 200 students plus 150 parents! Wow!
​Our Miles for Smiles program is beaming with pride today. We love showing up for our schools and seeing these kids move!

So sorry to have lost this icon in our sport! He change many lives for the better by helping them get in their miles of smiles.

He had bright eyes and a big smile for each of the thousands of runners who headed over to him at the finish lines of almost every runDisney race. Thank you for giving me the gift of running, they would say. Without you, I wouldn’t be able to do this. He was an Olympian who showed us all how we could be just like him—a runner.

Jeff Galloway created and popularized run/walk, and, without it, thousands of runners over the past five decades likely wouldn’t have had the courage to lace up. He made us believe—and he was right!—that even if we didn’t run track or cross country in high school, we could become runners as adults. People who didn’t consider themselves capable of completing a race—from a 5K to a marathon to ultras—crossed multiple finish lines because of him.

We are so thankful for the teachers, parents and staff at our 14 schools who make this free running program possible. We are looking forward to supporting North Terrace Community Schools at their Leprechan run again this year. Here are a few fabulous memories from last year. Enjoy!

Wow!

When Kathryn Martin stepped onto the track at the USA Track and Field Indoor Masters Championships, it felt both familiar and strange after five years away from competition.

At 70 years old, and with 23 American age group records to her name including 11 world records, she still wondered if she could perform at the level she once knew.

During the race, doubt crept in, but it did not last long. She won the 3,000 meters and set a new national record for women aged 70 to 74, proving her time away had changed nothing.

The next day, she returned to the track and ran the mile in 6:31.25, an indoor world record in her new age group. That performance is age graded to the equivalent of a 4:06 mile for a 25 year old, faster than the current open women’s world record.

Her comeback was not built on extreme training.
She focused on enjoyment, smarter workouts, more recovery, and truly listening to her body.

Her story is not just about records. It is about longevity, consistency, and never letting age define what is possible.
