β€‹πŸŒ² John Kelly Dedicates Appalachian Trail FKT Attempt to His Father​

John Kelly, a fixture in the world of ultrarunning, is deep into a monumental effort to break the supported speed record on the Appalachian Trail.

His journey spans nearly 2,200 miles from Georgia to Maine and has become more than just a test of endurance; it’s a tribute to his father, who is battling cancer.

β€‹πŸ‘£ Barefoot and Minimalist Running: The Ultimate Guide​

Born To Run was a smash hit, and led to a barefoot running revolution.

Every major shoe brand brought out their version of a minimalist shoe, designed to replicate running barefoot, with over 50 million people calling themselves minimalist or barefoot runners.

Barefoot running caused such an impact, the backlash was perhaps inevitable.

β€‹πŸ’†β€β™€οΈ Marathon Training Recovery: How To Recover Quickly After A Workout​

Training for a marathon is grueling work.

If you don’t recover well and get enough rest, you can easily become injured, fatigued, sleep-deprived, demotivated, or all of the above.

β€‹πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ Marathon History: The Iconic Race’s Origins & Development​

Many runners are familiar with the lore of Pheidippides as the origin story of the marathon, but beyond that, our minds go blank about marathon history.

The history of the marathon has a rich and storied past. There are all sorts of interesting nuggets of information about marathon history that can deepen even the most diehard marathoners’ appreciation for the famed 26.2-mile distance.

β€‹πŸš€ WATCH: Nike’s Breaking4: Inside Faith Kipyegon’s Sub-4 Minute Mile Attempt | Exclusive Interview​

What does it take for a woman to break the 4-minute mile? ​
​
In this exclusive and groundbreaking interview, Dr. Andy Jonesβ€”one of the world’s leading exercise physiologists and the mastermind behind Kipchoge’s sub-two-hour marathonβ€”reveals the science, strategy, and secrets behind Nike’s latest audacious project: Breaking4.
​
Dr. Jones has worked with legends like Paula Radcliffe and Eliud Kipchoge, and now, he’s applying decades of research and experience to help Faith Kipyegon achieve what was once thought impossible: the first sub-4-minute mile by a woman.
