Some of the nation’s top milers, 5k runners, and half-marathoners will make up Team USA at the World Athletics Road Running Championships in Riga, Latvia.
The weekend starts with Joe Waskom chasing the Worlds Standard, has Connor Burns going for the high school 5000m record, and ends with a stacked Silesia Poland Diamond League meet.
This week I spent my Tuesday morning with Empire Elite. I saw the best unsponsored 1500m runner in the U.S., Eric Holt, run a workout to remember. "You picked the best day of the year to come. This was the best workout of my life."
