Hey runners, today's newsletter moves between the business forces shaping the sport and the personal experiences that keep people running. We break down Anta's $1.8 billion investment in Puma and what it signals for the global sportswear landscape, examine the financial fallout from the collapse of Grand Slam Track, and look at Puma's revived Project3 program ahead for regular runners of the 2026 Boston and London Marathons. On the training side, we offer practical guidance on knee pain after running, half marathon preparation, and the lessons marathon training teaches beyond race day. And we close with a more reflective note, as Harry Styles shares why running has become a meaningful part of his life.
Chinese sportswear company Anta Sports Products has agreed to buy a nearly 29% stake in Puma for €1.5 billion, or about $1.8 billion, in a move that makes Anta the German brand's largest shareholder.
New court filings in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware show that Grand Slam Track, Inc. is carrying $40.68 million in debt against just $831,385 in assets, with athletes still waiting to be paid.
Knee pain after running is a common running injury. As a runner, you are likely to have had a knee injury yourself or know someone who has at some point.
In many ways, marathons are a great metaphor for life: it's long, there's often discomfort, but perseverance and your mindset make all the difference. Here are our 5 life lessons you learn from running a marathon!
Harry Styles does not talk about running like someone chasing times or medals. When asked recently about his relationship with the sport, he framed it instead as a mental space, one that mirrors how he experiences music, movement, and performance.
