Happy Saturday! Here's what I have for you today:
If your January normally revolves around hammering the same Strava segment over and over, you're not alone. The Burrito League has stepped in as this year's unofficial replacement for the Chipotle challenge, and it's growing fast.
After years as a private company, Strava is quietly laying the groundwork for a potential IPO. What that means for runners is still a big question.
Track workouts aren't the only way to build speed. Hill repeats offer a lower-impact, high-rewardalternative that delivers serious performance gains.
Runners don't need fancy gear to stay strong. These bodyweight exercises target the muscles that matter most, and they can be done anywhere.
Anta has reportedly offered to buy the Pinault family's 29% stake in Puma as the sportswear brand works through a painful turnaround. Talks are stalled for now, but the interest alone has rattled markets.
Who will define the sport of running in 2026? It's a hard question to answer, but we tried.
Zone 2 training has gone from niche concept to endurance buzzword. We explain what it actually is, why it works, and how runners can use it effectively.

When the Chipotle x Strava challenge failed to appear this January, runners didn't wait around.
Instead, a grassroots replacement called the Burrito League has exploded across North America, turning short city segments into month-long endurance battles fueled by consistency, stubbornness, and a lot of burritos.
After a big year that included profitability, acquisitions, and high-profile leadership hires, Strava may be on the verge of going public.
An IPO would give the company easier access to capital and fuel further growth. But for users, it also raises familiar concerns about pricing, features, and long-term priorities.
China's Anta is exploring the acquisition of the Pinault family's 29% stake in Puma, according to new reporting.
The interest comes as Puma grapples with falling sales, slipping relevance, and a broader brand reset under a new CEO.
While talks are reportedly stalled over valuation, the approach alone underscores how exposed Puma has become. It also hints at where Anta sees its next growth opportunity.
The 26 Most Influential People in Running for 2026
We sat down at the start of 2026 and asked a simple but slippery question: Who actually matters in running right now?
Not just who ran fast last year, but who's shaping what the sport looks like next. Who influences how we train through the holidays, what shoes we wear, which races feel important, and which conversations refuse to go away.
If your goal isn't just your next race, but still running years from now, this one's worth your time.
Eric Orton explains why cadence and leg stiffness matter more than mileage, and how small technical habits can be the difference between constant breakdowns and durable progress.
