Happy Wednesday! Here's what I have for you today:
🏅 Seven majors. One year. And an Ironman, just for fun. Armando Cortinas Mac pulled off one of the wildest endurance seasons ever.
🌲 Legends, rising stars, and redemption arcs collide at 2026 Western States, where 100 miles of dust and canyon heat will decide who can endure the most.
🙌 Motivation fades. Habits stick. Learn why the secret to becoming a lifelong runner isn’t chasing the high of inspiration, it’s learning to lace up even when you don’t want to.
💩 We’ve all been there, that sudden, stomach-clenching panic mid-run. Here's what really causes runner’s trots (yes, it’s a thing), why it happens to almost everyone, and how to keep your miles panic-free next time nature calls.
🍕 What happens when you skip gels and go full junk food for 100 miles? One runner decided to find out, finishing 100 miles on an unlikely source of fuel that most of us reserve for movie night.
🌟 He’s broken records, won golds, and changed what we believe is humanly possible. Now, with one final finish line crossed, Eliud Kipchoge has quietly closed a remarkable chapter in marathon history.
🇺🇸 It was a meeting years in the making: Eliud Kipchoge finally met Barack Obama in Washington, D.C., and brought along a very personal gift.
🤸♀️ WATCH: Make every run better by doing THIS first!
Get ready to get faster!

Seven majors. One year. Somewhere between Tokyo and New York, Armando Cortinas Mac turned a bucket list into a global masterclass in both speed and consistency.
The 2026 Western States 100 is shaping up to be one of the deepest, most unpredictable races in years, with defending champions, trail legends, and rising stars ready for a true test of heat, hills, and heart across the Sierra Nevada.
It’s not pretty, but it’s practically a rite of passage: runner’s trots.
Here’s why it happens, what your pre-run breakfast might have to do with it, and how to make sure your training runs end at the finish line, not the porta-potty.
One ultrarunner ditched gels, chews, and electrolyte mixes for something straight out of a pizza box, and somehow made it through 100 miles in one piece.
It started more than a decade ago, and it ended on the streets of New York.
With his latest marathon finish, Eliud Kipchoge completed one of the sport’s most elusive challenges faster than anyone before him, a fitting finale to an era of greatness.
Six years after Obama praised his sub-two-hour run, Eliud Kipchoge finally met the man himself (and brought along a special gift).
Their exchange in Washington was part admiration, part mission: a meeting between two leaders who believe in the power of persistence, purpose, and passing it on.
