Lane 8 FAQ’s: What is it? Why are you doing it? How do you get to go?
Here are two lists of my “credentials”:
- Consistently run faster than the USATF All-American Standard of Excellence
- Compete at the State & National levels (and do really well)
- Figure out how to pay for expenses, time & money, to go to Finland
- Have enough guts to do the impossible
- Run as fast as USATF establishes as the age group world-class equivalent
- Indomitable will
- God’s Grace
That is the short list, of the big requirements. There are other, lesser criteria, but I’ll spare you the details. But, if you really want to know:
- Out work ’em
- Run hard
- Run far
- Stretch
- Strength train
- Core train
- Stay healthy
- Repair injuries
- Nutrition
- Rest
- Continuous Improvement
- Inspiration
- Balance
- Family Involvement
- Commitment
- Tenacity
- Perseverance
- Pray
There. Any questions? Carpe diem, jeff noel, out in Lane 8 🙂
