A Rogue in Runners World!


You may or may not know about the elite Team Rogue that has recently been formed. The group is comprised of post-collegiate runners who are all aiming to qualify for the 2012 Olympic Trials in their respective events, and ultimately head to the Olympics themselves.

Two of these runners, Adam Perkins and Kyle Miller, headed to Boston last weekend for the Reebok Boston Indoor Games where Bernard Lagat was attempting to set a new American record in the indoor 5000m. Adam and Kyle were pacers for this event, and did their job perfectly – Bernard Lagat lowered the American indoor 5000m record to 13:11.50.

Adam came back shortly after to pace the mile and was then interviewed by Runners World – check out this substantial article that they published on Adam and the fine art of pacing!

Rogue coach Carmen Troncoso recently set the 3000m American record in her age group, running 10:10 at the Portland Track Festival. She smashed the previous record by 9 seconds, and was only 2 seconds off of the world record!

News 8 Austin posted her account of the race and reveals what she has in store for the 5000m at the World Championships in Finland later this summer. Read it here!
