Today’s training lineup has a little bit of everything: how to stop chafing before it ruins your run, what to do if you’re staring down a marathon underprepared, what the latest research actually says about heel striking, and six interval workouts to help you get faster.
Meanwhile, the running world is delivering some wild headlines: Jakob Ingebrigtsen outkicked Cole Hocker to win the Ultimate Championship 5,000m, then pulled out of his next race, while Tommy Price completed an incredible Bob Graham Round four years after a cardiac arrest, and one German athlete somehow covered an entire marathon doing burpee broad jumps.
And if you want the full play-by-play from the track, we’ve got your complete Day 1 recap from the World Athletics Ultimate Championships, with the results, big performances, and everything you may have missed.
The Norwegian announced it Saturday in Budapest, a day after winning the 5,000m, ending the Josh Kerr meeting that World Athletics expanded the 1,500m field to 13 runners to make it possible.
Four years after a life-threatening emergency on the fells, Price returned to the mountains on Sept. 6 to take on an extraordinary challenge—with a very special person joining him for the opening leg.
The 31-year-old HYROX athlete needed 155:44:51 and about 30,000 repetitions to cover 42.195K on a track in his German hometown, cutting almost a full day off a mark set in Australia in July.
Eight titles were settled in Budapest on Friday; the United States took three of them, and Olympic hammer champion Ethan Katzberg went out of the competition without a legal throw.
The Norwegian ran his last lap in 54.39 to win in 12:59.24 and collect $150,000, seven months after Achilles surgery and a week after calling Hocker and the Brussels field cowards.
