Hey runners, in today’s newsletter, we’ve got a glimpse at where running might be headed next — for better or worse.
The Cape Town Marathon is suddenly one of the most important races in the world, with Eliud Kipchoge set to race his first-ever marathon on African soil and the event inching closer to World Marathon Major status.
At the same time, the controversial Enhanced Games are about to begin in Las Vegas, bringing openly doping-permitted sport into reality after months of backlash, debate, and disbelief.
Elsewhere, Faith Kipyegon opened her season exactly the way you’d expect a generational talent to, while another marathon controversy continues to unfold in South Africa, where elite athletes are still waiting to be paid months after racing.
And as always, we round things out with the practical side of the sport too — from cross-training and beginner 5K prep to the kind of lingering fatigue that can quietly derail a training block long before most runners realize something’s wrong.
The follow-up to the blockbuster Superblast 2 is here, and as our colleague Alex can confirm (see his video review), the SUPERBLAST 3 is a total beast.
The SUPERBLAST 3 stacks ASICS's race-proven technology with a new Trampoline Pod to provide an underfoot feel that is bouncy and responsive. Whether you are grinding through tempo work or just want to make your easy miles feel fun, this is an ideal 'why choose' shoe.
What happens when fatigue from running lingers a little too long? What if you’re chronically exhausted and cannot perform your day-to-day tasks, let alone think about a hard running workout?
The Enhanced Games Begins in Vegas Sunday With Doping-Friendly Rules and a $1 Million Record Bonus
Critics have called the inaugural event a "dangerous clown show." Its backers, including Peter Thiel, say it represents the future of sport. Either way, the world's first openly drug-permitted multi-sport meet begins on May 24.
South Africa's sports minister has promised a government takeover and criminal charges against the organizers. Gerda Steyn and other elite athletes say they have heard almost nothing.
Two-time Olympic gold medalist and five-time world record holder Jakob Ingebrigtsen joins Jessy Carveth for a wide-ranging conversation about his comeback from February's Achilles surgery, his real thoughts on the so-called "Norwegian Method," and his long-rumoured marathon debut.
