Hey runners, in today's newsletter, the 2028 Olympic Trials are getting a trim.
Eugene keeps the meet, but USATF has cut it to six days at Hayward Field, moving the 10,000m, decathlon and heptathlon out entirely.
Elsewhere, UTMB's curse continues: Tom Evans won't defend his title in Chamonix. Keely Hodgkinson and Audrey Werro meet in Zurich on August 27 to break a 2-2 tie. And Alisa Vainio, who spent a decade at 2:25 and slower, has now raced six marathons in 11 months, the last of them a European title win by nearly five minutes.
And as always, we round things out with the practical stuff: how to run faster without super shoes, how to prevent runner's trots, and four ways to freshen up stale mid-week miles.
The Trials run June 17-22 at Hayward Field, two competition days shorter than 2024, with the 10,000m, decathlon and heptathlon moved out of the meet entirely.
Werro won the European title in Birmingham on Aug. 14. Hodgkinson beat her twice indoors earlier in the season. The fifth meeting of their year comes in Zurich on Aug. 27.
London Marathon Events and Up and Running Events will hold the first Stirling Half Marathon on May 16, 2027. The city's marathon was called off in March 2022 and never rescheduled.
Discover how tendons, muscles, the Achilles, and even your big toe store and release energy like springs—boosting efficiency, reducing effort, and improving performance when used effectively.
Let’s just enter the confessional booth here one at a time. It’s happened to all of us: you’re blissfully running along enjoying your workout, or maybe even running a race, when it strikes... runner's trots.
But is it avoidable?
Evans said Thursday he will not start in Chamonix on Aug. 28. Kilian Jornet was the last man to win it two years running, and none of the 15 champions since has repeated.
Vainio spent a decade at 2:25 and slower. Since last September she has raced six marathons, taken the Finnish record three times, and won in Birmingham by 4:55.
Race director Tom Keogh attributes a 1 percent allowance to World Athletics and Athletics Canada. The measurement standards hold course measurement to a tenth of that, and the one place 1 percent appears has nothing to do with how long a course may run.
In this episode of For Better or for Worse, Alex heads to Edmonton for the Canadian Half Marathon Championships with one goal: run fast enough to punch his ticket to the World Road Running Championships in Copenhagen. What actually happens is a start-line scare over recording gear, a rough patch and a stomach that wouldn't cooperate. Here, Alex gives Alexis (and you) the full, unfiltered "word vomit" recap recorded just 24 hours after the race: the good, the bad, and the humbling.
