Testing is up. Gaps are shrinking. And yet, distance running still feels locked in a cycle of disbelief. New AIU data shows record pre-Worlds testing and fewer athletes slipping through untested. ​
A new White House–backed high school sports competition is coming in 2026. The “Patriot Games” will bring teenagers from every state to Washington for a four-day event that looks similar to a famous movie...​ ​
There’s a reason hill workouts have survived every training trend. Uphill running forces better mechanics, builds serious lower-body strength, and pays off on race day in ways most runners don’t realize until it’s too late. ​

Carbs are your long run currency, but timing and food choice matter more than most runners realize. Pre-run fueling isn’t about eating more, it’s about eating smarter so your legs don’t cash out early. ​
Sorting out unpaid bills is only step one for Grand Slam Track. Re-earning credibility and convincing World Athletics to sanction another season may prove far harder than raising fresh capital. ​
A marathon isn’t really about running 26.2 miles. It’s about what happens when the excuses run out, the voice in your head gets cruel, and you’re forced to decide who you are when stopping would be easier.
New Balance's most versatile daily running shoe, the 1080, is getting an update in 2026 -- and we had a sneak peek!
In this video, Senior Editor Alex Cyr speaks with New Balance's Rudy Lauzier about how the shoe has changed and improved, and why it's suitable for runners of all speeds.
Trying to shop for a runner during the Christmas rush?
We pulled together the gifts we actually rely on all year, tested, approved, and not just another pair of shoes wrapped under the tree. Think smart, useful, and guaranteed-not-to-end-up-in-a-drawer gear.
In a sport where performances keep getting faster, anti-doping numbers are rising too, yet skepticism refuses to fade. ​ The AIU says 2025 was its most aggressivetesting year ever, with far fewer athletes arriving at Worlds untested. ​ The numbers look strong. The question is whether they actually change anything fans believe.
A government-run high school sports competition, hosted on White House grounds, featuring teenagers from every state... yes, that’s real.
Trump’s “Patriot Games” announcement has sparked comparisons ranging from Olympic pageantry to The Hunger Games, and the details so far raise more questions than answers.
If you dread hills, you’re probably leaving some of your biggest fitness gains on the table.
Uphill running isn’t just about suffering through climbs; it’s one of the most efficient ways to build strength, improve form, boost speed, and sharpen mental toughness, all in one workout.
Take a sneak peek at COROS' new line of running watches that come out in 2026. In this video, Darian Allberry, head of product marketing at COROS, walks managing editor Katelyn Tocci and senior editor Alex Cyr through big upgrades in the company's road watch, the Race 4, and its trail watch, the Apex 4.
Bonking on a long run usually isn’t a fitness problem; it’s a fueling one.
What you eat (and when you eat it) before heading out can be the difference between finishing strong and watching your pace fall apart halfway through.
Watch company Garmin is charging into 2026 with a full slate of new products for runners. In this video, Harry Hayde, product strategy manager at Garmin, walks managing editor Katelyn Tocci and senior editor Alex Cyr through the best watches for beginning road runners, advanced marathoners, and the most hardcore of trail enthusiasts.
Grand Slam Track may want a second chance, but fixing the finances won’t be enough.
With World Athletics controlling the calendar, Sebastian Coe holds the real leverage, and he’s not signaling much patience for another experiment gone wrong.
A marathon doesn’t care who you are or what you believe about yourself.
Somewhere after the doubts get loud and the body starts bargaining, it asks a single question, and whatever answer you give will stay with you long after the finish line.
