Hey runners, today's newsletter has a bit of everything, from elite-level chaos to the kind of stories that only happen in running. Keely Hodgkinson somehow made it through a championship heat after losing her luggage, borrowing spikes, and picking up a blister along the way, while India lands a major moment for the sport by securing the 2028 World Indoors.
