Today, we're digging into the fundamentals that help us stay consistent for the long haul, from my new training video on how to run longer without getting tired to a step-by-step breakdown of the perfect warm-up routine and what running gait analysis actually reveals about efficiency, injury risk, and performance.
For you history buffs, we're revisiting one of the sport's most enduring questions: why a marathon is exactly 26.2 miles long — the story behind a distance that continues to define endurance running more than a century later.
And, the latest episode of our running news podcast just dropped - The Running Story - in which Michael and Jessy puzzle over why Jacob Kiplimo's half marathon world record hasn't been ratified, and more.
Beyond the roads and trails, we're focusing on strength and power, with a guide to the best kettlebell workout to build explosive strength that translates directly to more resilient racing legs.
On this week's episode of The Running Story, we break down why World Athletics has refused to ratify the fastest half marathon ever run, igniting debate over pacing, fairness, and how records are judged. We break down the ruling — plus Kipchoge's Winter Olympics cameo, Brooks' sales dominance, and Femke Bol's eye-opening 800m debut.
We break down the numbers by age, sex, and fitness level, plus share the workouts that can help you improve your aerobic power and push your potential higher.
The marathon distance is ... unusual. 26 miles and 375 yards. How did this come to be, and perhaps more importantly...why has it never been changed? Why has this seemingly arbitrary distance become so sticky in all of our lives?
