Welcome to part 8 of The Road to L.A. '84, our multi-episode retrospective on the 40th anniversary of a seminal moment in a golden era of marathoning. We're telling the behind-the-scenes account of the athletes, the training, and the build-up races.

Welcome to Part Seven of The Road to L.A. '84, our multi-episode retrospective on the 4oth anniversary of a seminal moment in a golden era of marathoning. We're telling the behind-the-scenes account of the athletes, the training, and the build-up races.

We examined the training of the men and women who won those races -- the leading contenders for Olympic Gold at Los Angeles 1984. And we explored the running and popular culture of the time. In this episode we look back at the pinnacle domestic events of 1984, the Olympic Trials. 40 years later, here's the story of the 1984 Men's U.S. Olympic Trials Marathon...

This week it is a joy to celebrate Father's Day with you as I present an article I wrote for PACE Magazine on Father's Day 2021. It's a love letter to our sport, my father, my grandfather, and all those with whom I've been lucky enough to share miles through the years.

"My father was the best man I ever knew...He combined strength and courage with gentleness, tenderness, and great unselfishness...I never knew anyone who got greater joy out of living than did he." -- Theodore Roosevelt

Hayward Field. Pre's Trail. The birthplace of Nike. From Bill Dellinger to Galen Rupp. And Andrew Wheating to Matthew Centrowitz. The men of the University of Oregon have a rich tradition, perhaps greater than any other team in the country. Current mid-distance star Elliott Cook is a fitting torch bearer for the Duck legacy. Originally from Dublin, Ohio, Elliott moved to the Pacific Northwest for school, and has punctuated his career so far with recent Pac 12 championships in the 800 and 1500 meters. He'll chase Oregon immortality this week at the NCAA Championships. And he'll do so on his home track with joy, a thoughtful approach, and immense reverence for his storied program. Elliott is our third guest in our series chronicling the journeys of local stars on their way to the upcoming Eugene Olympic Trials.
