Newsletter #771: Saturday, 28th March 2026
Hey runners, today's newsletter captures just how unpredictable this sport can be.
A runner crosses the line first in Modesto, only to be disqualified after being sent off course, while Boston continues to reckon with its past and future—from honoring Kathrine Switzer-era pioneer Bobbi Gibb to debating how to handle growing demand.
There's also a wave of bigger-picture stories shaping the sport right now, from Olympic eligibility rules to the business of race registrations and a chaotic marathon in China that led to bans.
Alongside it all, we've got perspective pieces on training, burnout, and why not everyone should chase the marathon, plus a look at the runners who usually go unseen finally getting their moment.
