Grant Fisher, the American record holder at 3000, 5000, and 10000, has left the Bowerman Track Club . What's next for Grant and Bowerman? The Ingebrigtsen family feud is now public . What should the solution be in terms of track and field? Kibiwott Kandie got the win for Kenya at the Valencia Half Marathon in 57:40 as the Ethiopian record books and world top-1o times were re-written left by Yomif Kejelcha finishing second in 57:41. Why aren't Americans running faster in the half marathon? And how many Americans will qualify for the Olympic Marathon? The Road to Paris list is out.
