If you are headed for Sydney, we are kicking off the week with some important guides to polish your race-week habits, like how to nail your marathon fueling before, during, and after the race, and what you should actually be doing on a shakeout run. We also have 11 exercises to wake up those sleepy glutes, plus guidance on when to choose static vs. dynamic stretching.
We’ve got everything you need to know ahead of the 2026 Sydney Marathon, plus a closer look at what Yomif Kejelcha was wearing when he set his new world record. Plus, catch up on all the results from the Silesia Diamond League.
We also have our new weekly episode of The Running Storywhere Michael and Jessy catch us all up on what’s been happening around the running world, so give it a listen and get up to speed.
This week on The Running Story, Michael Doyle and Jessy Carveth break down the five biggest headlines in the running world: Yomif Kejelcha's stunning half marathon world record in Buenos Aires, the Sydney Marathon's viral medal mix-up, a brutal week of UTMB withdrawals, the loaded 2026 New York City Marathon elite field, and the fallout from the Edmonton Marathon's course-length error and what it means for Boston Marathon qualifiers.
You wouldn't race in stiff plastic clogs — so why run on clunky, off-the-shelf insoles? KILA makes the first custom footbeds built from super shoe foams, designed around your exact feet with 3D NanoPEBA technology. Flexible, feather-light, and genuinely comfortable — the fix your foot doctor recommends, without the compromise.
You scan your feet at home with your iPhone in under five minutes, a sports podiatry lab designs them, and they're built from scratch in California and shipped straight to your door. No clinic markup, either.

Master your race-day nutrition with a complete plan for before, during, and after the marathon—so you stay energized, avoid the wall, and recover faster.
Sydney's second year as a World Marathon Major drew 123,000 ballot applications for about 40,000 places. Here is the schedule, the fields, the road closures, and why viewers in the United States will watch it on Saturday.
Strand won the 1500m in 3:30.77 with Ingebrigtsen fourth on his first Diamond League start in nearly two years, and Mykolas Alekna and Collen Kebinatshipi both broke Diamond League records.
The shoe he kissed at the finish in Buenos Aires reads Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3. So do two development shoes on the World Athletics list that have never been for sale, and the rules would let his 56:51 stand in any of them.
