We’re kicking off the week with plenty of practical advice for your training: how to use the 10% rule to safely build mileage, whether running can really help ease anxiety, what to eat the night before a long run, and a full-body, runner-specific strength workout to add to your routine.
In the news, an authorized Lazarus Lake documentary is premiering during UTMB week, 10 American women broke 4:30 in the same mile race, the Sydney Marathon is turning race week into a citywide perks program, and we’ve got all the track results from the 2026 World Athletics U20 Championships.
And if you’re ready for your weekly running-news catch-up, there’s a brand-new episode of The Running Story, where Michael and Jessy break down the biggest stories from around the running world this week.
