Hey runners, in today’s newsletter, New York has lost two of its biggest names.
Sifan Hassan and Fiona O’Keeffe have both withdrawn from the New York City Marathon. Hassan says illness held back her training, while O’Keeffe had surgery last week to repair a torn hamstring tendon. Neither has raced since New York a year ago.
Elsewhere, Nike’s sold-out After Dark 10K will run across the runway at London City Airport on Saturday, and Amanal Petros headlines the fastest men’s field Frankfurt has ever assembled. Amsterdam also returns this weekend, where organizers have painted a blue racing line through the corners to help Geofry Kipchumba defend the fastest marathon ever run on Dutch soil.
And as always, we round things out with the practical stuff: how to start running from scratch, the science of the warm-up, and a complete three-week marathon taper.
