Post Collegiate Running
When we started LRC Racing in 2010, we did it for the sole reason of wanting to continue in the sport of running. It wasn’t necessarily that we had goals to qualify for the Olympic Trials or to break a sub-4:00 mile, but it was because we truly loved what we had experienced because of…

Hot Take
