Mary Cain, once hailed as the future of American middle-distance running, is set to publish her memoir This Is Not About Running on April 28, 2026.
The book, announced this week by HarperCollins, promises a raw, intimate look at what happened when a teenage prodigy was pushed to the brink inside one of the most powerful training systems in sport.
Runners can be funny about their running shoes. As our sport is relatively simple in terms of equipment, some runners place a lot of stock in the impact their running shoes have on their performance and health as runners.
While wearing certain running shoes isnβt likely to bestow you with superpowers that shave minutes off your long-held PRs or cure an ongoing, persistent case of IT band syndrome, there are certain injuries that wearing old running shoes may potentially increase the risk of.
ASICS and TDK, both official partners of World Athletics, have launched a joint research project to develop a wearable motion-sensing device aimed at helping athletes better understand and improve their performance.
In the latest twist in the ever-evolving world of super shoes, two of triathlonβs top stars, Hayden Wilde and Sam Long, have been spotted racing in a not-yet-approved model: the Asics Metaspeed Ray. β β And while neither athlete has been accused of wrongdoing, the incident has reignited conversations about rule enforcement, transparency, and accountability in elite racing.
Many runners are conflicted or confused about the advice that long runs should normally be done at a slow and conversational pace. β βIn this post, we're going to dig into the details and reasoning behind this.
ASICS just dropped two completely new running shoes: the Sonicblast, a snappy, plated sneaker made for fast workouts; and the Megablast, a comfy and responsive long running shoe. β Like many of you, senior editor Alex Cyr was curious about how these pairs compare to other ASICS shoes, which one of the two is the better purchase, and whether or not they are worth adding to his rotation. β Here, Alex takes you through a week of half-marathon training, where he tests both shoes on long runs and hill workouts, to help you decide if the Megablast and Sonicblast are right for you.
