We’ve got plenty of training advice for you today, starting with 12 calf stretches every runner should have in their back pocket, a look at treadmill vs. outdoor running, and guidance on how many miles you should be running each week. Plus, if your first marathon is on the horizon, we’re breaking down the building blocks you’ll need to get to that start line ready.
And there’s lots going on in the running world! UTMB race week is almost here, Sydney’s marathon medal has a pretty hilarious wrong-stadium problem, and COROS and SATISFY have somehow created a $520 running watch.
And if you haven’t caught our latest podcast yet, give it a listen this weekend. We’re chatting about whether simply running more miles can make you faster, strength training during race week, and when a 3:06 marathoner should start thinking about sub-3. Plus, we get into shoe lifespan, super trainers, rotations, and whether music belongs on the long run.
Eight races run in Chamonix from Aug. 24 to 30, and the 846 elite entrants are 34 more than last year. Kilian Jornet, Jim Walmsley, Tom Evans and Katie Schide are not among them.
The skyline on the reverse of the 2026 finisher medal includes Allianz Arena in Munich, not the Sydney ground of nearly the same name that sits on the course at Moore Park.
The Kamila Skolimowska Memorial runs Sunday at the Silesian Stadium in Chorzow, with the international broadcast starting at 10 a.m. ET and five global 100m medalists in one women's final.
A coach’s step-by-step framework for first-time marathoners—how to pick a plan, build endurance safely, fuel smart, recover well, and make it to race day ready.
This week, Katelyn, Michael, and Alex tackle your biggest training questions: Can simply running more mileage make you faster—even without traditional speedwork? How close to marathon day is too close for heavy strength training? And after a 3:06 marathon, should you play it safe for a Boston qualifier or start chasing sub-3?
Plus, we get into how many miles you can really put on a pair of running shoes, when to retire them, rotating shoes, super trainers, and whether music belongs on the long run.
