WHAT. A. RACE. 🔥 Veteran racer Hagos Gebrhiwet breaks out in a HUGE way at the #OsloDL 5000m, dropping an insane last 800m to run 12:36.73, breaking Kenenisa Bekele’s Ethiopian record and clocking the #2 time in history. Yomif Kejelcha improves to #4 all-time in second (12.38.95) and Luis Grijalva finishes 6th in a Guatemalan record 12:50.58. SIX national records fall in one race: 🇪🇹🇬🇹🇨🇭🇸🇪🇫🇷🇿🇦

My dad passed away last month and it's completely changed the way I think about what I do. I've questioned everything I thought I knew. Here are 15 lessons I've learnt from this intense period of self-reflection:

Halfway in Berlin Marathon. 60:48 is, I believe, the fastest first half split ever in a marathon. Four guys just ran that in Berlin. Kenenisa Bekele in 5th in 61:00...which would also be the 5th-fastest first half split in history.

If you don’t know, you better ask somebody. His name was Michael K. Williams. He shared with me his secret fears then stepped out into his acting with true courage, acting in the face of fear, not in the absence of it. It took me years to learn what Michael had in abundance.
