Hey runners, in today's newsletter, some very welcome news out of France.
Jeff Browning has left the hospital nine days after his heart attack on UTMB's TDS course, posting a video Thursday saying he sees a path back to the trails. A fundraiser for his care has passed $290,000.
Elsewhere, the Diamond League season wraps in Brussels this weekend with 18 track finals across two nights. Swiss firefighter Frédéric Splendore took the Via Alpina FKT more than five days faster than a mark set just two weeks earlier. And Clayton Young says he'll chase training partner Conner Mantz's American record in Chicago on October 11.
And as always, we round things out with the practical stuff: why running can make you gain weight, 13 unspoken rules of running etiquette, and how long you really need to train for a half.
The ultrarunner posted a video from France on Thursday, nine days after a heart attack on UTMB's TDS course. A fundraiser for his care has passed $290,000.
The Olympic and world long jump champion says she has not trained since a head-on collision left her with a severe concussion. She is due in the pit on the opening night in Budapest, Friday, Sept. 11.
The Montreal brand now sells the cap in 14 city editions at $60 each, with the newest seven tied to races running from Sydney in August to New York City on Nov. 1.
Running is about freedom and escaping the routines of everyday life. However, it’s important to bear in mind some basic running etiquette and running rules to make sure you’re keeping the experience fun for everyone and that you’re staying safe.
The 33-year-old Swiss firefighter covered the 2,000-kilometer route in 23 days, 11 hours and 42 minutes, more than five days faster than the mark set two weeks earlier. The Alps were the first phase of a 4,200-kilometer run to Ukraine.
The 25-year-old went down on the road in the opening kilometers on Sunday and still won in 31:39, 13 seconds outside her personal best. Video of the fall has since been shared around the world.
The 2026 UTMB produced the fastest times in the race's history, the closest podium margins ever recorded, and a winner who went down so often on the last descent that the outlets covering her could not agree on the number. Those three things are connected.
Young, 32, told the Nobody Asked Us podcast he will target Conner Mantz's 2:04:43 on Oct. 11. His own fastest time on a course where records count is 2:08:00.
This week on The Running Story, Michael Doyle and Jessy Carveth cover a jam-packed week in the sport: Sabastian Sawe's shock withdrawal from the Berlin Marathon, a historic weekend at UTMB, the full 2026 Sydney Marathon results, and the Josh Kerr vs. Jakob Ingebrigtsen showdown that's now officially on the books.
