Hey runners, today's newsletter sits right at the intersection of what makes running fun to follow and fun to do.
We start with Sam Ruthe, whose record-breaking mile was only the beginning, he's now lining up against some of the best milers in the world in what should be a proper reality check and a fascinating race.
From there, we zoom out to the everyday runner, breaking down how to judge effort without tech, how to use visualization to sharpen performance, and what it actually takes to land a new 10K PR.
There's also a look at the strange side of modern running culture, from Strava wiping millions of questionable workouts to the ongoing fallout around Grand Slam Track, plus a bigger-picture question about just how valuable marathons really are to the cities that host them.
When it comes to gauging effort during a run, not every runner wants to rely on heart rate monitors, GPS pace data, or fancy gadgets. Sometimes, the most effective tools are the simplest, and the talk test is a perfect example.
The mental side of training is often overlooked – and in this guide, wes how visualization can be an extremely effective mental strategy to improve your performance.
Once you have finished your first 10K, you have a benchmark to guide your training, and you can start training with the purpose of chipping away at your personal best time and running faster.
In this guide, we discuss how to hit a 10K PR and share our expert coach training tips on how to get faster at the 10K distance.
