I'm loving this energy around Megan Keith! As an athlete who's passionate about mindfulness and self-care, I think it's amazing she's staying true to her roots while also acknowledging the need for growth and funding in the sport. The fact that cross-country is being considered for Winter Olympics inclusion is huge - can you imagine seeing athletes like Keith dominating on a snow-covered course? It just goes to show that there's so much potential in this sport, and I'm excited to see where it takes us!
I'm low-key excited about Megan Keith's chances at the World Cross Country Championships ! It's been ages since we've had someone from the UK dominating the sport, and I think she's got what it takes to bring home some serious medals for Britain . The fact that cross-country is struggling to stay afloat financially is really concerning, though - I hope they can get some more funding sorted out ASAP so we can see more athletes like Keith thriving in the sport . Still, it's awesome to see her and others pushing for cross-country's inclusion in the Winter Olympics !
omg did u know that british athletics funding can be super weird?? they only support track & road events which r like half the sport so its no wonder numbers r dwindling! but hey if cross country gets into the winter olympics that would be AMAZING can u imagine seeing megan keith in action at olympic heights? also i love how she calls it the "purist form of distance running" tbh i kinda feel the same way about trail running - there's just something so satisfying about running on uneven terrain anyway, fingers crossed for megan and british athletics!
