Hey runners, today's winter mailbag podcast gets real as we dive into the questions runners wrestle with most: sub-3 obsession, marathon pace confusion, dry training blocks, and what happens when injury threatens your identity.
I've also pulled together a few of our training guides to help you go deeper on the biggest takeaways and follow up on the questions that came up most.
Plus, we're breaking down the biggest running stories right now—from the 2026 Boston Marathon elite field announcement (and one big missing name), to UTMB's new carbon fee, to Des Linden's race plan, Noah Lyles future, and the a $1,000 elite marathon shoe.
This week's Marathon Handbook Podcast mailbag is a full-spectrum runner brain dump: a listener misses sub-3 by three seconds (and asks what to do next), a 22-year-old wonders if sub-3 at Boston is realistic, we unpack the deceptively big question "what is marathon pace?," debate super shoes for mid-pack marathoners, and get real about injury grief and staying sane when running gets taken away.
The 2026 Boston Marathon elite fields are official — and the start lists are packed. In our video breakdown, we run through what stands out, what surprised us, and the storylines that will shape race day. Watch the video for the full reaction and our early takeaways, then check the two linked articles for the complete men's and women's fields.
