Today, we're leaning into the power of variety in training—from simple, effective sprint workouts that build real speed to the often-overlooked role of cross-training in making you a stronger, more resilient runner.
As spring race days approach, it's all about preparation and recovery—making sure you've got your pre-race checklist dialed in and knowing how to use tools like foam rolling to help your body bounce back afterward.
And if you missed it, I shared my take on the quiet obsession with the sub-three-hour marathon—why it captivates so many runners, and what it really says about how we measure success in the sport.
Keely Hodgkinson arrived in Poland without her kit, cadged spikes off a stranger, picked up a blister, and still cruised into the semi-finals. Typical Tuesday for the world record holder, apparently.
Bumped from a snow-wrecked race in the Canary Islands, ultrarunning's biggest name made a last-minute detour to Chianti — and reminded everyone why she's the standard.
The science and psychology behind why so many runners long to run sub-3, and how ignoring this time-based goal is actually the best strategy to break three hours in the marathon.
We are continuing to dive into your questions—from choosing the perfect super shoe (even if you've got tiny feet or a bigger build), to figuring out why so many runners fall apart late in the marathon… even when training goes perfectly.
We also tackle hydration mistakes that could be costing you minutes, and whether carrying your own fluids is actually worth it.
Plus: how to bounce back after missing a big goal, and a fun thought experiment—just how fast would Alan Turing run a marathon today?
