Hey runners, running has a way of delivering both the ridiculous and the remarkable... sometimes in the same weekend.
Today’s newsletter starts with a race-day mess that left thousands of runners stuck within sight of the finish line, a reminder that even the simplest part of an event can go sideways.
From there, we shift to the opposite end of the spectrum, breaking down the exact gear behind a sub-two-hour marathon.
And as always, we round it out with the practical side of the sport: pacing, training zones, strength work, and the everyday decisions that shape how your running feels over time.
Michael Doyle and Jessy Carveth are back in the saddle after a two-week World Marathon Majors tour through Boston and London and ready to cover this week's top five stories from the world of running.
Thousands of 5K and 10K participants were forced to walk the last leg into Daikin Park on Saturday, with some stuck near the finish line for close to an hour.
The follow-up to the blockbuster Superblast 2 is here, and as our colleague Alex can confirm (see his video review), the SUPERBLAST 3 is a total beast.
The SUPERBLAST 3 stacks ASICS's race-proven technology with a new Trampoline Pod to provide an underfoot feel that is bouncy and responsive. Whether you are grinding through tempo work or just want to make your easy miles feel fun, this is an ideal 'why choose' shoe.
Among the many physical and mental health benefits of running, a common motivation for hitting the pavement or trails is to burn fat and support a healthier body composition. And the science backs it up.
Use our marathon pace calculator to find the exact per-mile or per-kilometer pace you need to hit your goal finish time. Enter your target marathon time and get mile-by-mile splits and a complete pacing strategy for race day.
The whole MH team attended the 2026 Boston Marathon: the running world's unofficial summit. Here is our unfiltered vlog of the entire weekend of coverage, spectating, racing, and everything in between. Join Katelyn, Michael, Alex, Kosuke, Jessy, Dylan and Thomas on the streets of downtown Boston.
Our flagship course, the Marathon Training Masterclasshas now been used by hundreds of students to achieve their marathon goals.
In this course, I guide you step-by-step through your marathon training journey - first starting with the fundamentals of marathon training and the strategy we'll use, then guiding you through each part of your training . . .

, Running News : Training Tips : Training Plans : Shoes+Gear : YouTube : Podcast Newsletter #811: Wednesday, 13th May 2026 Hey runners, running can feel almost absurdly big one moment, and painfully fragile the next. In today’s newsletter, we start with an ultrarunning spectacle that pulled more than a million people into a livestream as one runner crossed desert highways and California heat in a bid to outrun the clock.
