How many shirts were sold Ryan? Sounds like this subsidy idea would've been pretty good if you could've made it work.

Well I must say the III Anniversary t-shirts are pretty STEEP! Far more than I would've liked to pay, but I wanted to show my support of Flotrack and not miss out on the collector's item III year anniversary edition shirt.

Wish you would've taken my idea to subsidize the cost of the shirt and make it more affordable to the Flocommunity by partnering with a Sports industry supplier for a joint venture marketing opportunity. For like I said $28 is pretty steep, but happy with all the great work you guys do at Flotrack and happy to support the Florevolution.
Glad to see the other branch sites that have arisen as of late through Flocasts in other underserved sports markets. Also looks like that Congrats is in order due to you Ryan getting the position as Flotrack Head which is what I assumed due to the increased need of Mark in the Florevolution Business Development realm, but I'm sure we will still see old Mark Flo around just like we did at NYC Marathon this weekend. Good job with the coverage and great to see Meb get the win for the USA!

I agree! Totally enjoy yapping on line. Running is my favorite subject and even though I go at it sometimes with some, I would miss them if they were gone! Great fun.

Thank you for affirming, on a daily basis, that our sport is great. Your respect and passion for the sport makes an XC dual meet between two Maine schools as terrific as your international coverage.

Congrats congrats congrats! I can't believe it's already been 3 years, but in some ways I can't even remember a time when FloTrack was not around. You guys have made the sport unbelievably better and have raised the bar for covering and promoting the sport. Thanks for all you've done and much continued success in the future.

Can't wait to get my hands on a badass FloTrack shirt!

Flotrack is III....that is saying a lot since it started and continues running by a shoestring. Here's how I feel about Mark and Ryan. Whoever is in front of the camera, or behind the camera, is doing more than their job. Both Ryan and Mark have tremendous respect from the track community and because of that they have the support of runners, their families and fans. Both of them have enthusiasm, drive and persistence. Keep it up guys. You do more than get the job done. Seriously, you invent what has to be done and "voila" you are catalysts for making it happen. Keep Flotrack coming!

Mark (founder), the best thing you ever did besides flotrack (start this site) was hiring Ryan!

Thank YOU!.....you know how much I love this site!....Sometimes I think I post to much, but in some ways I think it is important (to me anyway) to have some feed back from the viewers and I wish more would post or contribute so outsiders could see how popular our sport growing.....I think even the little stuff matters...like example: just staying....good job or awesome after a interview.
Thanks to Flotrack I rarely watch BB, BB, or FB anymore....No big lost watching those spoiled athletes!................best move I ever made! Our athletes are truely amazing not just in ability but as human beings. I am truely proud to call myself a running fan. Flotrack interviews have confirm to me (over the last 3 years) just how lucky this community is and how Blessed we are to have so many quality of people in our sport. It gives be hope for the future! Thank you!

Ryan you're looking tired in this video! :(
Compare youself to this video (Dec 2008)
Mark looked a little cooked but you still looked fresh

What you guys do is fantastic but obviously it takes a toll
I hope you get a good break soon, or alternatively I hope the
NEXT flotrack anchorman is as awesome as the 1st two.
Thanks Flotrack

Flotrack's Best of 2008

Flotrack has been a part of my day/life since first seeing that hypnotic video of Ryan Hall setting the 1/2 marathon record in Houston.
I rarely see in ANY arena the sort of spirit, dedication, excellence as that demonstrated by Mark, Ryan and Kevin.

Thanks! You guys are special and I appreciate it all

Oh yes! Three years of good times and great oldies on old FLOTRACK! I do believe that it has now been about a year and a half of me being an avid Flotrack patron. You guys have definitely done a great job and it has been great to see the impact that Flotrack has had on the sport. I do believe that it has helped mainstream networks want to step up their game in the running world when a internet startup is running circles around them (yes "pun" intended haha). Helping people gain so much of an in depth look at the sport and gain a deeper love for it as a whole.
It has been great to see how people do take notice when Flotrack is around rather than seeing them as a red headed step child from Spain or something which can be seen with Mark's first credentials at World Champs. You guys have definitely built a company and a Brand that possesses respect within the sports market over the 3 years. I mean come on you got old Doug Logan giving you face time for pretty much all the US Championship calendar of events. Also I'm sure you got coaches almost beating down your door to get their meets covered by you guys in order to market/promote their programs.

Well for Mark not being around lately, I would assume that Mark Flo has been busy doing some Flo Sports Business Development ever since his last video installment which I do believe was at The Paul Short Run a few weekends back. Also Mark and everyone, I'm sure have been quite busy with the Flo Sports Revolution as of late. Especially with the new service offering that the Flo Network enables the Business to allow for people to have a FloDesigned website of their own. Which is why the Flo Network has seen rapid increase as of late. Good job! Something tells me we will see a return from MarkFlo this weekend at NYC which is going to be one sick event with nothing less than excellent coverage from all the Flocrew involved!
One last point I also like that my coining of the Flotrack HQ has taken shape during my time around the site. Looking forward to scoring a Flotrack III Anniversary T-Shirt and I do hope they aren't too expensive so these babies will sell like those HOT Hey Cupcake! cupcakes. Hope you guys have been to try those things like I encouraged you to after that Red Velvet cupcake awesomeness experience at the Manhattan Invite. I'm still cracking up over that hilarious video, Ryan. Hope they aren't too expensive so that you can have people representing the brand that is FLOTRACK and the FloRevolution from coast to coast.
Brainstorming! SPONSOR! How about get one of the sporting good outfitters ((Maybe Brooks: Jesse Williams, Reebok: Patrick Joyce, Nike: Mark's NCAA National Champs buddy Phil Knight, or the list could just go on for days with the connections in the sports industry)) that you guys have built strong ties over Flotrack's existence. To Sponsor/subsidize these shirts for promotional purposes by giving them logo space signage on the Anniversary shirt and they could be FREEBIES! They could SPONSOR the Anniversary Shirt! Making for only what would be a win/win for the network and the industry alike except for the given hard costs! HMMM maybe already a reality, that would be quite the brand marketing JACKPOT for all involved! Maybe thinking too big, but hey if nothing else that marketing relationship could at least produce some awesome really cheap shirts to be offered to the Flocommuntiy!

The addition of flotrack to the sports of track and field, cross country, and distance racing has been a huge plus for grassroots marketing and stimulation of interest in the sport. I love what you guys do. I want your jobs, to tell the truth! Keep on doing it. Keep doing it well. Keep getting better! Flotrack is the best.
