Today’s training guides cover everything from what actually happens to your body when you train at altitude and the heart rates you should expect while running, to 20 essential tips for beginners and six hip-stability exercises to help build a stronger stride.
In the news, records tumbled at the European Championships, six medal ceremonies were unexpectedly postponed, Habtom Samuel made Falmouth history, and an ambitious 24-hour treadmill relay came up short of a Guinness World Record.
And to kick off the week, Michael and Jessy are back with a new episode of The Running Story, breaking down the latest stories, results, and conversations from around the running world.
This week on The Running Story, Michael and Jessy break down the 5 biggest stories in running: Grand Slam Track's ongoing payment scandal, a new Guinness World Record for most shirts worn in a marathon, the stacked Berlin Marathon 2026 elite fields, an early preview of the UTMB 2026 elite fields, and what the Prague Half Marathon's first-ever ballot says about the running boom.
Learn how your body adapts to elevation, what to expect during each stage of altitude acclimatization, and how to adjust your training to stay strong and avoid setbacks.
Petros ran 2:09:11 on Sunday to take 40 seconds off a mark that had stood since 2018, and the eight men behind him finished inside it as well. Alisa Vainio had won the women’s race by the largest margin it has produced.
Police said they found a man with the wrong accreditation inside Alexander Stadium at 8:15 p.m. Saturday, and that transport was suspended as a precaution. Athletes were still queuing two hours later, and some did not reach their hotels until 12:45 a.m.
Samuel won the 54th Falmouth Road Race on Sunday, taking 15 seconds off a course record that had stood since 2004. Behind him, Zouhair Talbi and Conner Mantz both ran faster than any American has on the course since 1982.
Baptiste, 41, won the Commonwealth 200m title in 2010 and now coaches Charlie Dobson and para-athletes. None of them have reached him since he left for a weekend in Morocco in June, and UK Athletics will not discuss the case.
Wahoo says runners at an Austin brewery covered 210.2 miles on a single treadmill in a day. The Guinness title the event was billed under stands at 236.41 miles, and nobody involved has said whether a record was claimed.
Amanal Petros finally struck marathon gold and Alisa Vainio won the women's race, Georgia Hunter Bell took the 1500m, and Italy edged Great Britain by three-hundredths in the 4x400m to close the meet in Birmingham.
