Hey runners, in today's newsletter, Conner Mantz is finally racing again.
The American record holder makes his Falmouth debut on Sunday, his first race since a sacral stress fracture ended his season in Chicago last October and cost him Boston.
Elsewhere, the European Championships wound toward a close in Birmingham with Andreas Almgren taking the 10,000m and Great Britain sweeping both 4x100m relays. And 55-year-old Débora Simas covered 866 kilometers on a treadmill in a Brazilian shopping mall, breaking the world record by 20km.
And as always, we round things out with the practical stuff: whether you should drink coffee before running, a complete three-week marathon taper, and how to get marathon-ready on just three runs a week.
Andreas Almgren won the 10,000m, Henriette Jæger the 400m, Stefan Nillessen the 1500m, and Great Britain swept both 4x100m relays on the penultimate night in Birmingham.
The American record holder has not raced since Chicago in October, when a sacral stress fracture ended his season and later cost him Boston. He makes his Falmouth debut on Sunday.
Max Jolliffe is one of the most followed ultrarunners on the internet, and in July 2026 he became the fastest man in the 49-year history of Badwater 135, finishing Death Valley's brutal 135-mile course (ending with a 12-mile climb up Mount Whitney Portal Road, in temperatures hitting 118°F) in 20 hours 53 minutes, on his very first attempt. In this episode, Michael talks to Max about his journey from Newport Beach surf-and-skate culture to ultrarunning champion, the science behind his heat training, his race-day battle for the lead at Badwater, how he balances content creation with elite racing, and why Cocodona has become his "white whale."
