Ryan Fenton's story and moving forward with Flotrack

Ok, I do care...what I mean is, whatever he's doing, he should join you guys in front of the camera.

I don't know or care what Mike Lansing is doing right now - he's your man. I'm sure you've got his number. Good to see you're doing well, Ryan. Keep up the good work.

Ryan, please don't chew gum while being interviewed! It's uncouth.

Thanks for all your sacrifices. I love that your site is informal and human. If I could afford to retire, I'd be there for you for free so you could sleep. ;)

Do you higher foreigner?If you do then I am your man!

I second that!

I third that

stay in school. FLotrack will be there for you. If not, you made a wise decision.

Actually, I'd like to edit my previous statement by saying I would gladly drop out of school to help you guys out. If you need somebody, I'll drop school. Really.

"..but I still don't get one thing...how can this gig be profitable? The ads are so few and far between it just is a curious operation. Is there an Uncle deep pockets out there taking care of things until Flotrack pulls a youtube and then starts putting ads before each video? ..

Flotrack is great but I would also like to know how it sustains itself as a business.

you shouldn't chew gum when being interviewed.

John W. Davis is the best!

Three things: knowledge of running, problem solving skills, and passionate and excitable like R&M;! Perfect ingredients for the new Flotracker.

I second that!

Andrew Carlson is your man.

Ha ha, good stories Ryan, especially mixing up the two Mark Wetmores! And happy birthday, Flo!

Like you said the most important quality to work at flotrack is that you have a passion for the sport. Runners and coaches like talking to you guys because that comes through. You know their history, if they ran footlocker in high school or their split in the last lap of their race in a prelim, and they appreciate that. They know they are talking to someone that wants them to do well and cares.

I beat up Ryan in 11th grade.

So, I like how your shirt coordinates with the house in the background haha.

A suggestion: what about working with USATF grassroots division to get some funding as both parties are interested in promoting track and field? Or working with NYRR club/Mary Wittenburg. Putting those 2 heads together should come up with innovative ideas.
By the way Ryan, you are a great interviewer. People relate very well to you. Mark, sorry to say, not so much.

Ryan/Mark. I'm your man. I still have 2 years left of college but I'm the man for whatever job it is you'll specifically need then. Remember the name ;)

where's the email you fanny sandwiches

Maybe James; maybe i'm ignorant in this is it just Ryan and Mark, and the new guy? or is it hard to get teams/colleges to video a workout for fear of disclosing workouts and such...

FloTrack is amazing, never stop doing what your doing!

Maybe if they had another worker to videotape??

Were is workout Wednesdays? keep up the awesome work, but I'd like to see more consistency. And not neglect what made you great the simple things. Great work Ryan/Mark and all.

off topic in know but why is the house striped green and yellow?

I love Flotrack as it has essentially created a market for fans to be fans. Without it, I wouldn't know the stories within the races and sure wouldn't ever watch the races. Years ago, I never would of guessed that I would be able to watch the workout of a team or elite runner online. It is such a better resource than JoggersWorld magazine...but I still don't get one thing...how can this gig be profitable? The ads are so few and far between it just is a curious operation. Is there an Uncle deep pockets out there taking care of things until Flotrack pulls a youtube and then starts putting ads before each video? .... and lastly Ryan you went from Boston to Austin just as I did in 1986 and man is it better in Austin or what??

Thanks Ryan and Mark and all the other people involved in FloTrack, this website is awesome! I'm a triathlete but i do love running and the updates and video coverages of all the races and interviews you guys do are fantastic. Watching the workout wednesdays really helps motivate me get in a good workout and I also learn alot by watching some of the best runners around.

Thanks,
Nic

I have two more semesters of school and if you are still expanding by that time, I would love to travel and film or write for Flotrack. I hope to coach my own team one day and being a part of Flotrack would give me tons of much needed experience. Keep up the great work.

I would work for Flotrack in a heart beat... too bad I have 4 years of school left. But Flotrack is great, keep it up guys.

If someone wished to contribute how would one go about it(small amount monthly)? I have no life, but I have been be lucky to have a pretty good career. It took some perseverance and luck but I am at the happiest point of by life. I was 33 when started my career after 7 yrs in the military and four yrs of college. I was never good runner but alway dabbled in it, I continue to run but I especially love being a fan and being able to watch our college, elite, and up coming HS phenoms run competitively. FLOTRACK ALLOWS ME TO DO THAT! THANKS...MARK, RYAN, AND CREW.....I love what you...thanks!

Where is this weeks wow ryan :(???

coach eskind (now at UVA, but was at BU when I lived in Boston) reminded me of some of the first flotrack moments. here's one.....

If this was only 20 years ago! Thanks for all you do Mark,Ryan and Kevin.

Cheers!
