Hey runners, today's newsletter is a reminder of just how wide the running world has become. Harry Styles is trading stadium tours for 250 kilometers in the Sahara after breaking three hours in Berlin, while the sport also grapples with harder news as former NYC Marathon champion Albert Korir receives a five-year doping ban.
Elsewhere, innovation and experimentation are everywhere—from a new elimination-style ultra that sounds brutally unforgiving to adidas developing shoes alongside disabled athletes.
We've also got practical reads to help you train smarter, including plyometrics for speed, how to actually use HRV data, and why even a 30-minute run can move the needle more than you think.
Plyometrics is a type of exercise that involves explosive movements and includes activities that stretch a muscle before rapidly contracting, such as jumping or bounding. Here's how it can up your running game.
We've covered the foundations of heart rate variability (HRV)—what it is, how it reflects your body's response to stress, and how to measure it accurately using the right tools and protocols.
Now, it's time to talk about the part that really matters: how to use that data.
The Supernova Rise 3 Adaptive took years to develop with input from wheelchair users, Paralympians, and the first person with Down syndrome to finish an Ironman.
One of the fallacies inherent in many runners' mindsets is that a workout has to be long to be "worth it". In other words, if you don't have an hour for a daily run, is it worth the hassle of getting your running shoes on and only running 30 minutes a day?
This week on The Running Story, Michael Doyle and Jessy Carveth break down the five biggest stories in the running world... and it's been anything but a quiet week.
In his early 20's, Alex Cyr, our senior editor and shoe expert, came within reach of breaking 14 minutes for 5K—until injury, loss, and setbacks derailed everything. Now, after years of surgeries, failed comebacks, and doubt, he's taking one last shot.
