This week on The Running Story, Thomas steps in for Michael with a packed episode — Kipchoge races on home soil, Cam Hanes faces a USADA tip after a jaw-dropping 2:39, the Enhanced Games come and go, and Emma Bates finds a fresh start with a new sponsor.
We've also been busy in the guides department — whether you're easing back with a recovery run, building strength, dialing in your nutrition, or figuring out your race pace, we've got you covered.
And in the news: runners get stranded by snow and ice at Transylvania 100, clean sprinters outrun the doped field at the Enhanced Games, and Rory Linkletter salutes the Prime Minister mid-race.
Kipchoge races in Africa for the first time as Cape Town makes its case for the World Marathon Majors. A USADA tip gets filed against 58-year-old Cam Hanes after a 2:39 marathon and admitted peptide use. The Enhanced Games wraps in Las Vegas — we separate hype from reality. A raised hand costs a high school team a state title (8M views and counting). And Emma Bates lands a new nutrition sponsor after a very public split with her last one.
Rescue teams responded to 15 incidents during the 100-kilometer race in the Bucegi Mountains, including three serious falls into a ravine, as runners faced freezing temperatures and near-zero visibility.
The company sells testosterone, supplements, and the idea that doping unlocks elite performance. After five hours of competition in Las Vegas, it had one record that does not officially count, a 100-meter winner who says he raced clean, and a strongman who could not match his own best lift.
Fred Kerley ran a 9.97 in the 100, well off the Usain Bolt world record he had promised to break. He still pocketed $250,000 and finished ahead of five competitors taking banned drugs.
