Increasing the number of miles or the amount of time you can run without stopping is a matter of building your endurance or increasing your running stamina.
To increase your running endurance, you must incorporate various components into your training, such as easy runs, speedwork, and strength training sessions, just to name a few.
At 77 years old, Jeannie Rice added yet another historic milestone to her already unmatched marathon resume. Over the weekend, she ran 3:37:48 to win the female 75โ79 division at the 2025 Sydney Marathon, officially completing a sweep of all seven Abbott World Marathon Majors.

Hitting the wall, also called โbonkingโ, is a common marathon experience that unfortunately, has caused thousands, if not millions, of runners to miss their PRs and even drop out of races.

ASICS just dropped two completely new running shoes: the Sonicblast, a snappy, plated sneaker made for fast workouts; and the Megablast, a comfy and responsive long running shoe. โ Like many of you, senior editor Alex Cyr was curious about how these pairs compare to other ASICS shoes, which one of the two is the better purchase, and whether or not they are worth adding to his rotation. โ Here, Alex takes you through a week of half-marathon training, where he tests both shoes on long runs and hill workouts, to help you decide if the Megablast and Sonicblast are right for you.
