While running might seem like something you can just get up and do, it’s extremely important that your form and technique while exercising is correct to limit any harm on your body. 

If there's a sport that demands the utmost self-belief and inner confidence in yourself, it has to be track and field. In a sport where you and only you can affect your performance, a great deal of responsibility and pressure can weigh on your shoulders.

The USATF Outdoor Championships kick off on Thursday from Des Moines, Iowa. This is the fourth in a series of previews outlining the biggest names and storylines to watch. 

In the midst of a preposterously fast collegiate season, the professionals keep chugging along. Last week's Golden Gala meet in Rome was the fourth of the 14 stops on this year’s pro circuit. While there hasn’t been a signature moment or revelatory race as of yet, we are finally beginning to see a few trends develop. Here are four of the biggest takeaways from the pro season thus far.

On this week’s episode of the House of Run, Jason and Kevin recap another flawless performance by Eliud Kipchoge in the marathon, Vivian Cheruiyot’s smart pacing strategy, the big positive splits from Kenenisa Bekele and Mary Keitany, Mo Farah’s British record (and discussion with the lead motorcycle), and all the other highlights from the 2018 London Marathon.

Austin, Texas, has hosted the NCAA track and field championships and currently stages one of the largest track meets of the calendar, the Texas Relays. The city has a robust road racing scene, bolstered by the presence of elite athletes and high-level training groups. But Austin has never hosted a USA track and field championship event — not for any distance on the roads, cross country or track and field. And certainly not the Olympic Trials.
