π What is the best racing shoe of 2025, so far? Senior Editor Alex Cyr has tested dozens of carbon-plated running shoes and has picked his five favourites for fast running.β β
π½ In the middle of one of the countryβs most closely watched mayoral races, New York State Assembly member Zohran Mamdani has something on his resume that sets him apart from the field: two New York City Marathons. β
πββοΈ While completing your long run is important to reach your running goals...RECOVERING from your long run is equally as important. β
βοΈ COROS cybersecurity flaws could let nearby hackers inject messages, interrupt runs, and reset devices mid-race. β

πββοΈ WATCH: Our shoe expert Alex Cyr pits the Saucony Ride vs. the Saucony Guide. Which shoe is best for you? Watch below.
We tested a lot of shoes this year, and we're about to show you what we think are the five best super shoes that have come out this year. β Theyβre light, theyβre flashy, and theyβre almost guaranteed to make you faster.
Zohran Mamdani, 33, who currently represents Astoria in the State Assembly, made headlines last week when he defeated former governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary. β But long before that upset victory, heβd been using running, of course, as a personal challenge, but also as a platform for visibility.
The long runβarguably the most anticipated workout of the week and a cornerstone of any runnerβs training, whether for a 5K, marathon, ultra, or anything in between.
Its key objectives? To build endurance, enhance the bodyβs ability to efficiently utilize fuel over long distances, and develop mental toughness, helping runners manage fatigue and pace with confidence.
So, we understand the importance of the long run, but what about long run recovery?
COROS is now facing a massive security crisis after a German researcher publicly disclosed eight vulnerabilities that give attackers near-total access to both the companyβs watches and usersβ personal accounts.
Among the exploits: attackers could hijack a userβs COROS.com account, factory reset the device, manipulate settings, intercept messages sent to the watch via Bluetooth, and even interrupt or erase an activity in real-time
Finding perfectly fitting running shoes is an ongoing quest for many runners.
If you are still deciding whether or not your shoes are right for you, we have compiled a list of six sure-fire signs that youβre wearing the wrong running shoes.
The term βovertrainingβ is often misunderstood.
Youβd be forgiven for thinking that it just means training too hard, but in reality, itβs much more complicated than that. β βCrucially, itβs impacted strongly by how much you eat. And while the relationship between overtraining and undereating has been explored in the past, new evidence suggests that this link is much closer than initially thought.
Senior editor Alex Cyr reviews and compares two of Saucony's most popular everyday running shoes: the Guide 18 and the Ride 18.
Both are conceived for training runs; and here, Alex breaks down where both shoes perform best, how they vary from each other, and which shoe you should buy, based on your specific needs.
The Ride 18 is a super-comfortable and lightweight daily trainer; whereas the Guide 18 is a highly-cushioned stability shoe. Watch the video to learn more about how they differ.
