Hey runners, today's newsletter opens with one of the strangest finishes of the year: the LA Marathon came down to a 0.01-second sprint after race leader Michael Kamau was led off course in the final stretch by a spectator and a confusing turn.
We're also looking at the Shanghai Marathon's push to join the Abbott World Marathon Majors, the sudden cancellation of the Pyongyang Marathon, and the unreleased Nike prototype on Jacob Kiplimo's feet when he set the half marathon world record.
On the training side, we've got a smart post-run stretching routine, a look at how missed training can affect your marathon time, and what to know if you're considering working out twice a day.
Nathan Martin crossed the line first by 0.01 seconds—but only after race leader Michael Kimani Kamau was led off course in the final 300 meters by a spectator and a misreading of the road.
We've seen firsthand how post-run stretching can make a huge difference. In this guide, I'll share some of the best post-run stretches for runners, targeting every major muscle group, to help you recover faster, stay mobile, and keep running strong.
Hoka thinks it's finally cracked the super shoe code with the new Cielo X1 V3. It's lighter, softer, and already has a few big marathon performances behind it — but is it actually fast enough to rival Nike and Adidas on race day? We put it to the test.
