Hey runners, today's newsletter moves from record-breaking road racing to the everyday questions runners quietly Google at 10 p.m.
Castellón delivered a morning of chaos with two European 10K records falling within minutes, while a 20-year-old Ugandan stole the win in his debut.
From there, we zoom out to the practical side of the sport: whether running every day is actually smart, which carbs truly fuel performance, the mistakes new runners keep making, and what a "good" half marathon time really looks like by age and sex.
And yes, with Flora returning as London Marathon sponsor after three decades, we also answer the surprisingly pressing question: what exactly is that yellow tub?
Yann Schrub and Megan Keith rewrote the European 10km record books within minutes of each other on Sunday — and a 20-year-old Ugandan showed up to win the whole thing on his debut at the distance.
Many runners challenge themselves to maintain a running streak, which involves running at least one mile every day without a single day off. But is this healthy, or is it bad to run every day? Are there benefits to running every day?
Beginner runners frequently burn out, get injured, or suffer from fatigue from doing too much too soon. We want to warn you of the most common running mistakes new runners make and give you tips so you can avoid making them yourself.
The yellow tub is back. Flora has rejoined the TCS London Marathon as an official partner — and a generation of runners is apparently Googling "what is Flora spread."
Whether it's your first half marathon or your twentieth, runners like to know what a good half marathon time or average half marathon time is based on their age and sex to know what they should be shooting for and how they compare to others in their age group.
What are the best running shoes of 2026? And is the classic daily trainer officially dead?

From super shoes and carbon racers to everyday trainers and emerging trends, we cover it all — with honest, unfiltered takes.
