โ€‹๐Ÿ‘Ÿ What The Wear On Running Shoes Tells Us About Our Running Formโ€‹

The wear pattern etched into the soles of your running shoes is more than just evidence of the hundreds of miles or kilometers you logged in your beloved pair of kicks.

โ€‹๐Ÿ‘€ How Runna Canโ€”And Shouldโ€”Fix Its Algorithmโ€™s Age Bias Issueโ€‹

When you first register on the popular running app, Runna, unsurprisingly, youโ€™re prompted to enter your date of birth along with other data.
โ€‹
The app even states that โ€œyour age will help us personalise your training intensity and reduce injury risk.โ€

But it turns out, this data isnโ€™t currently used by the algorithm

Dr. Jones has worked with legends like Paula Radcliffe and Eliud Kipchoge, and now, heโ€™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.

LAST FEW SPOTS:
Run Across Historic Spain In October 2025

From Thomas, MH founder:
โ€‹"I ran the inaugural edition of The Way of Legends, and it's an unforgettable experience. Our small group spent 6 days running across rural Spain in a 'Camino de Santiago' style adventure, spending each night in a different hotel and feasting on the best local food (and wine). This is boutique adventure racing at its finest, organized and run by Manu and his group of passionate locals. The event attracts a lot of repeat customers every year, and they've just opened the 2025 event registration."

โ€‹

The Way of Legends is a six-day ultra stage Race that will be held from the 17th of October 2025 to the 25th of October 2025 and consists of 5 successive stages with a maximum length of the legendary marathon distance of 42km followed by a final much shorter 6th stage along the historic pilgrimage path of Saint James to the finish line at the Cathedral of Burgos, a magnificent world heritage site. The Way of Legends is a fantastic oportunity to experience the natural beauty, culture, and gastronomy of this diverse region nestled between the two largest Spanish rivers The Ebro and The Duero.
