Hey runners, in today's newsletter, Yomif Kejelcha reclaimed a world record.
Kejelcha ran a blazing time in Buenos Aires on Sunday to break the half-marathon world record he once held, breaking Jacob Kiplimo's time in Lisbon, which World Athletics still hasn't ratified. Meanwhile, a humanoid robot ran 100m at the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, beating Usain Bolt's world record.
Elsewhere, Comrades Marathon is expanding its centenary field with half the spots going to a ballot, and Sydney Marathon has confirmed finishers will receive the medal featuring the wrong stadium.
And as always, we round things out with the practical stuff: the origins of the marathon, how to combine CrossFit and running, and whether running twice a day is worth it.
Entries for the June 13, 2027 down run open Tuesday, but general applications do not open until Sept. 9, with the draw on Sept. 23. Organizers say it will be the largest Comrades ever run, and it goes ahead without Athletics South Africa's sanction.
We'll explore the earliest origins of the race, as well as it's history in the Olympics and it's meteoric rise to become the world's most famous long distance running race.
Thinking about adding a second run to your day? Here's what you need to know about the advantages and potential downsides of running doubles, so you can decide if it’s the right move for your training.
Two days after the error surfaced, and after it reached the AFP world wire, the organizers responded on Instagram. The statement concedes the mistake and says nothing about a replacement.
The 29-year-old Ethiopian ran 56:51 in Buenos Aires on Sunday, 29 seconds inside Jacob Kiplimo's mark from March, which World Athletics has still not ratified.
