Hey runners, in today's newsletter, the Alphafly 4 has landed and vanished.
Nike's new $280 marathon racer sold out in under five minutes in the US and even faster in Europe, with a wider release promised for October 29.
Elsewhere, an MRI has found Keely Hodgkinson's hamstring tendon split in two. Kenenisa Bekele will run Berlin at 44, his first marathon finish attempt since Paris. And John Korir says he's chasing a sub-two-hour marathon in Valencia in December.
And on an extra bright note, Brady McDonald ran a 50K in all 50 states in 50 straight days, covering 1,553 miles and raising $1 million for Make-A-Wish.
The $280 marathon racing shoe was gone from Nike's US site in under five minutes and disappeared faster in Europe. Nike has said a wider release follows on Oct. 29.
Arnault, 34, was seated on Sept. 15, a week after Nike shareholders had voted on a board that did not include him, and the announcement came out after the close on the day the stock hit a 12-year low.
The first update to the flagship super shoe line in nearly three years sold out in under five minutes. Now predatory resellers are seeking to profit from the demand.
The European champion took her national title in 2:27:47 on Saturday as a long training run, and says the Valencia Marathon on Dec. 6, not Berlin, is what her autumn has been built around.
The 33-year-old had raced unattached in the 20 months since her four-year nandrolone suspension ended. Skechers is putting her at the front of its AERO line ahead of the 2027 season.
The 32-year-old Ethiopian, who won the Xiamen Marathon in January, faces a tampering count alongside a charge over methylprednisolone, a steroid banned in competition, and cannot race while the case is open.
She apologized on Instagram five days after the race and said she is giving back the points the win earned her. Hyrox, which has already said its own officials should have stopped her, has not changed the result.
The Ethiopian has not finished a marathon since the Paris Olympics, and he joins a men's field that lost world record holder Sabastian Sawe to a stress fracture in August.
The 31-year-old ran a record time through the Aosta Valley to become the first Chinese runner, and the first from outside Europe, to win the 330K race.
The company enters the ultra high stack height category with a big, bouncy and super soft new model aimed to compete against the Nike Vomero Premium and Brooks "Max" shoes.
Anyone whose wave started between 2:40 p.m. and 8:40 p.m. on Sept. 12, and anyone already racing at 2:40, gets the ticket price back, which nothing in Hyrox's own terms required.
Matthew Jenkins was a week into a Disney internship and training for the Chicago Marathon. He is the sixth person lightning has killed in Florida this year.
The German ran 330K through the Aosta Valley, taking 12 hours off her own women's course record and becoming the first woman to finish on the overall podium at the race.
Both of the tears that have cost the Olympic champion her last two seasons landed inside the tendon, the type British Athletics' own research says comes back most often.
As many as 300 places a year, split between the fastest amateurs on the day and runners from the Frankfurt region. It is the first time a foreign runner can earn a London place without joining a British athletics body.
Two years and eight months after the Alphafly 3, Nike's new marathon racer is lighter, wider at the forefoot and $10 cheaper than its predecessor was at launch. Limited pairs are at nike.com now, with a wide release on Oct. 29.
The defending champion says he is covering 250 to 270K a week ahead of the December 6 race, where he lines up against Yomif Kejelcha, one of only two men to have broken two hours in a race.
The Nike Alphafly 4 has landed, the first update to the Alphafly franchise in two years and eight months. We have had our hands on this shoe since late November, and today we can finally talk about it. Michael Doyle and Alex Cyr break down everything we know about Nike's new super shoe: the full spec sheet, every change from the Alphafly 3, the prototypes we tracked on elite feet over the past year, and whether Nike has done enough to stay competitive at the sharp end of the super shoe market.
