Yesterday the running world lost an icon. Legendary marathoner and coach Jeff Galloway has passed. Not only did Jeff run at an elite level, including in the Olympics, but his coaching and run/walk method of training has helped millions of runners achieve their goals. Few have had an impact on the running world like Jeff. His old roommate and training partner, Amby Burfoot, authored the obituary we're sharing below.
Meanwhile...the 2026 World Marathon Major season is about to begin, and in our latest podcast, we break down everything you need to know about the Tokyo Marathon — from the elite field and course dynamics to how this first Major could shape the rest of the year.
We also tackle marathon training burnout, surviving your first 26.2, overstriding, and the 85 essential running terms every runner should know — plus a timely look at Ironman's new photography ban and what it could mean for races.
And if you're shoe-obsessed like we are, Alex Cyr just dropped one of the most anticipated comparisons of the year: Asics Superblast 3 vs. Megablast — a deep dive into which one you should actually buy, and who each shoe is really built for.
An Olympic runner himself, Galloway spent 50+ years preaching easy run-walk-run training to people who didn't realize they could become successful runners. Amby Burfoot shares his reflections on Jeff here.
The 2026 World Marathon Major season kicks off this Sunday in Tokyo, and Katelyn, Alex, and Michael are breaking down everything you need to know.
From the course and weather forecast to the logistics, the elite fields, and of course, their official power rankings of all seven Majors, but this time, with a twist.
Starting March 2, a mid-race selfie at an Ironman will get you disqualified. The triathlon world has made its call. Now marathon organizers are the ones squirming.
The European Marathon Classics officially launched this week, uniting eight iconic races — from Rome to Copenhagen — into a single multi-year challenge. If your idea of a good time involves 26.2 miles across multiple countries, this one's for you.
Images surfacing on Instagram appear to show the Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3 — and if the scale in the photo is any indication, it weighs less than a baseball.
Asics Superblast 3 vs Megablast — which versatile running shoe should you buy in 2026? After hundreds of miles in both shoes, here's the honest comparison from our expert reviewer, Alex Cyr, that nobody else is making.
