Hey runners, in today's newsletter, U.S. Championships weekend belonged to some familiar names.
Noah Lyles ran a world-leading time to win his third U.S. 100m title, while Sha'Carri Richardson took the women's crown. Nikki Hiltz also kicked to her fourth straight U.S. 1,500m title and a record eighth overall, and resh off beating Faith Kipyegon at the Pre Classic, we asked whether Hiltz is now the best American miler ever.
Elsewhere, the B.A.A. has announced two big changes to the 2027 Boston Marathon that make the odds of a BQ actually becoming a bib easier to pin down than ever.
And as always, we round things out with the practical stuff: the running myths that survive because they're half true, our ultrarunning coach's top 10 tips for your first 100-miler, and the mental health case for lacing up.
ASICS just created the lightest racing shoe in the world, and made it so by doing the unthinkable: omitting the carbon plate. The Metasleek, with its low stack and foam-only midsole, is made like a racing flat of the past, betting on lightness rather than power. Here, senior editor Alex Cyr weighs in on whether or not that's a good idea, if old-time racing flats are making a serious comeback, and if the Metasleek is worth your money.
Running does not wear out your knees, sweat is a poor calorie counter, and the 500-mile shoe rule is only a rough average. Here is what the research actually shows.

Noah Lyles ran a world-leading time to win his third US 100m title at Icahn Stadium, equalling his Olympic-gold personal best, while Sha'Carri Richardson took the women's title. Two comebacks, two very different ways of announcing them.
Three months after Vinny Mauri ran 2:05:54 alone in Toledo, the fourth-fastest American in history is still self-coached, still selling shoes at a running store in Youngstown, and still without a sponsor. In October, he lines up in the Chicago Marathon's elite field.
Hiltz has the domestic titles, the American mile record, and now a win over the best in the world. What the résumé still lacks is a global medal, and the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles may be the best chance to add one.
The B.A.A. will draw about 1,000 rejected qualifiers at random for 2027 and penalize steep downhill courses for the first time. Together the two changes make it possible to put a number on the odds that a BQ becomes a bib.
Senior Editor Alex Cyr dishes on the five easy tips that have transformed him from injured hobbyist to competitive runner. These no-BS habits are all simple, free, and easy to adopt; and can help both beginners and experts reach the next level.
