Hey runners, Jacob Kiplimo delivered another reminder of just how fast the half marathon has become, running an insane time in Lisbon to reclaim the world record.
Today's newsletter also looks at a political fight in Washington that could ripple through college sports and Olympic programs, and a heartbreaking story about a husband who spent months campaigning to fix a dangerous crossing — only to lose his life at the very same intersection.
On the training side, we dig into research suggesting that what many runners call "overtraining" may actually be undereating, along with practical guides to strengthening your feet and the potential risks of running every single day.
The president vowed a sweeping executive order within a week, but college sports leaders left Washington with roughly the same problems they brought in — and Olympic programs still caught in the crossfire.
Overtraining is impacted strongly by how much you eat. And while the relationship between overtraining and undereating has been explored in the past, new evidence suggests that this link is much closer than initially thought.
Gerald Goldberg died Monday at the very crossing where his wife, Andreia, was struck and killed in 2024 — he had spent the months since her death fighting to get a traffic light installed there.
Wel explore the potential downsides of a daily run to hopefully answer the ever-important question of potential run streakers and enthusiastic runners, "Is it bad to run every day?"
Hoka thinks it's finally cracked the super shoe code with the new Cielo X1 V3. It's lighter, softer, and already has a few big marathon performances behind it — but is it actually fast enough to rival Nike and Adidas on race day? We put it to the test.
