π WATCH: What Happened at Breaking4? Faith Kipyegonβs Sub-4 Mile Attempt Analyzed
Runners spend a lot of time and attention on their actual workouts and follow their training schedule to a T in hopes of having the best race day experience possible.
However, nutrition for runners is a key component to having a successful build-up through your training program so that you have enough energy for your workouts and the proper nutrients to support recovery and overall health.
The TCS Sydney Marathon has unveiled a star-studded womenβs elite field for its 2025 edition, marking what organizers are calling the most competitive lineup of international and domestic female marathoners ever assembled in Australia.
Headlining the race is four-time Olympic medallist and reigning Olympic marathon champion Sifan Hassan of the Netherlands.
Faith Kipyegon isnβt easing up after her attempt at breaking the four-minute mile.
Just a day after unofficially breaking her own mile world record, running 4:06.42 at Nikeβs Breaking4 event in Paris, the Kenyan star has announced sheβll target her own 1,500m world record at next weekendβs Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon.
Nike just spent millions on a moonshot attempt to break one of the last great barriers in running: the 4-minute mile by a woman. Faith Kipyegon came heartbreakingly close at Breaking4 in Paris β and we were there for all of it. But we can't forget, she still ran the fastest time in history, clocking 4:06.42. β In this instant reaction episode of the Marathon Handbook Podcast, recorded just after the race in Paris, we unpack everything: the race outcome, the on-the-ground experience, the tech and science behind the project, Faithβs performance, Nikeβs massive gamble, and where things go from here. Was this a bold leap forward for womenβs runningβor an overreach that fell flat?
