Hey runners, in today’s newsletter, Chicago delivered two of the fastest winning times in race history.
Amos Kipruto broke away from Jacob Kiplimo between 30K and 35K to win on his third attempt, with the defending champion fading to fourth after losing more than three minutes over the final 12K. Hawi Feysa defended her title in a personal best, dropping Sharon Lokedi in the last kilomeeters, with Brigid Kosgei third.
There was plenty happening behind them too. Galen Rupp broke the American masters record at 40, taking more than three minutes off the old mark. And Vinny Mauri, in only his second marathon, was on American record pace through 30K before stopping to stretch and finishing 10th.
And as always, we round things out with the practical stuff: whether to do cardio or strength first, why your hamstrings are always tight, and the ideal temperature for running.
Aisha McAdams, a former competitive runner turned photographer, embarks on a journey to document the triumphs and struggles of famed ultra trail runners, including Jim Walmsley and Vincent Bouillard. Traveling to mythical races—the Western States Endurance Run in the mountains of eastern California, the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc in the French Alps—the film marvels at athletes who maintain their intensity as they run 100 miles of mountain trails while climbing thousands of vertical feet.

The Ethiopian broke away from Sharon Lokedi in the last 2.2K and won in a personal best and the second-fastest winning time in the race's history, with Brigid Kosgei third.
The Kenyan ran the second-fastest winning time in the race's history after breaking away from defending champion Jacob Kiplimo between 30K and 35K, and Kiplimo faded to fourth.
The Ugandan forced the pace and was level with Amos Kipruto on course record pace at 30K, then lost more than three minutes to him over the last 12K and finished fourth.
How do you go from job-hunting after college to a 2:05:54 marathon, run in Toledo, in one year? Vinny Mauri did it, and now he’s one of the most talked-about American runners at the 2026 Chicago Marathon. Alex Cyr caught up with Vinny at the Chicago Marathon athlete availability, two days before his first big-city marathon. Vinny explains the 45-mile day that capped his build: 2 x 50 minutes in the morning and 4 x 20 minutes in the afternoon, both on the treadmill. He also explains how he picks his workouts by asking friends and Instagram followers to “pick a number one to four.”
