With an international listing of some of the best coaches, therapists, sport scientists, and athlete contributions, this will certainly be something that coaches will find valuable. Coach DuPre, a member of elitetrack.com w [...]

I get a lot of questions regarding ELITETRACK that come up quite frequently so I figured I'd take the time to write out a blog entry to cover these things. Most of these things have been mentioned on several occasions but as new and more people come to the site many don't realize it or haven't heard. Here are 7 things you may not have known about ELITETRACK: User accounts are deleted if no blog [...]

I want to thank everyone for a great time here in Elitetrack.com as it's time for me to pass the torch finally to some great coaches that will blogging here while I take a break. Over the last month I wanted to spike up some traffic (25,000 unique readers) to the site to get more readers exposed to some great discussion from our members and point people to some good articles here on the site.I am [...]

The site appears to have had some unwanted visitors (hackers) who may have done a little damage before they were identified and their accounts deleted. I'm still not quite sure what the forum problem is but I'm working on it and hopefully it will [...]

The new decade is almost here. 2009 was a good one for track and field in general as well as ELITETRACK. The continued dominance of Usain Bolt, Berlin World Championships, no major drug busts, and some of the best sprint performances from both the men and women that have ever been seen. We had some great discussions on the forum as well. In the second annual "Best of ELITETRACK" edition I'd lik [...]

This site is now over 7 years old and the quantity of information on here is growing at an increasingly fast rate. As a result there's potential for many entries to get buried in the clutter.
