My '14 Quest: Break Some Records

Published by Runner's World on December 2, 2013

After a two-week break from running, I pulled out a fresh pair of Nike trainers and began preparing for the 2014 season. This upcoming year is what we in the professional track and field world call a "down year." We work in Olympic cycles, meaning our aim is to perform well during the Olympic years (2012, 2016, 2020, etc.).

In odd-numbered years we compete at the IAAF World Championships, which come as a close second to the Olympic Games. This cycle leaves a year in which there are no major world championships for members of Team USA. For Europeans, there are the European Championships to look forward to, and for members of Commonwealth countries, there are the Commonwealth Championships. But nothing of the sort for Americans.
