2022 RunBlogRun, Recovery Week 1, Day 5: Take it easy!
The Dream Mile is one of the most important mile races each year. Held at the Oslo Bislett Games, the meet directors bring in the finest fields. This year, they brought in Ollie Hoare, winner of Millrose mile, Jake Wightman, winner of Rabat DL 1,500m, and Jakob Ingebrigtsen, winner of Sound Running 5000m.
In Oslo last night, Jakob ran 3:46.64, the fast mile in 21 years!

2022 Summer Recovery Weeks, Week 1, Day 1: Take it easy!
This is the beginning of our two-three week recovery time. The idea is to get a physical, mental, and spiritual break. Read books, take naps, goof off, get outside and enjoy nature.
The workouts will be 3 days a week, and you will have an option of doing something like walking or bike riding to get you moving.
Some have asked me about racing during this time. Truth is, if you rest this week, racing this weekend would be spectacular, but please take 2-3 weeks off from racing!
Each day, we will have an inspirational story for you.
Today is Devon Allen. Devon is a two-time Olympian at the 110-meter hurdles, and he signed a contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. Devon was working out Monday-Thursday on football practice, getting bashed and fit, and then track workouts, Friday-Saturday. About three weeks ago, Devon got COVID, stopped workouts, rested ten days, and then, on Sunday, June 12, 2022, won the 110m hurdles against World Champion Grant Holloway, in WL 12.84, his PB and #3 time EVER in the world!
Rest is important!

This is the complete results from the USATF Bermuda Games, the first Continental Tour gold medal event in 2022. The big story, per TV, and athletes, were the crazy winds that reach up to 11 miles an hour.
The mens 400m at the USATF #Bermuda Games was won by Grenada’s Kirani James, who like our Flora Duffy, is the first Olympic Gold Medalist for his nation & represents a small island [110K people]. Small islands, big athletes! pic.twitter.com/p6d7HBrCjl

Socialing The Distance
Featuring Katie Follett,
Brooks sponsored athlete
Katie Follett is an original, founding member of the Brooks Beasts. She has now moved back to Colorado, and is training while juggling a newborn son, Joshua with her husband. Katie was one of few athletes who qualified in 2016 in the 800m, 1,500m and 5000m. In 2018, Katie made the World Indoor team at 3,000 meters, finishing in the top ten in Birmingham.

Way back in 2013, Katie Follett won the 3000m in the Stockholm DL, one of the first Americans to ever do that. Katie is a fearless competitor, and her optimism shines through this entire interview. I have missed her countenance, and am happy to catch up with her. Oh, one more thing, don’t miss Cait Chock’s superb piece on Katie, right here: https://www.runblogrun.com/2022/01/katie-follett-and-a-new-kind-of-redemption.html
One more thing. I asked Katie what event she really wanted to run again, and she said, the 1,500 meters, of course!
