Happy Wednesday! We've got all the tips to get you ready to run your best fall marathon!
Here's what I have for you today:
👟 On vs. Asics vs. Hoka...our senior editor, Alex Cyr, breaks down the latest shoes on the market and which could be better for you.
🧱 Every runner's worst nightmare is hitting the wall...here's how to avoid it.
🫠 After months of training for your fall marathon, you might be in a motivational rut. So, what can you do to get excited again before race day?
🧑🏼💻 Vincent Bouillard proved that you can achieve big things while balancing work and family life. Here's what we can learn from his accomplishments and training.
Our senior editor, Alex Cyr, reviews and compares three of the newest running shoes on the market: the HOKA Mach X2, the On Cloudsurfer Next, and the ASICS Glideride Max. Each of these trainers brings something unique and innovative to the table, but they are wildly different from each other. Here, Alex shares what he likes and dislikes about each pair and ranks them across an eight-category scoring system to help you decide which shoe is right for you.
Hitting the wall, also called “bonking”, 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.
But the good news is you can avoid hitting the wall with proper training, fueling, and race pacing.
Even if you love running, especially when it is cold and dark outside—as summer transitions into fall and then winter—you might find that your running motivation can wane.
We reached out to several top professional runners to learn how the best runners handle running slumps and what it might mean if your running motivation is low.
If you're looking for a simple way to boost your health, Magnesium Breakthrough by BIOptimizers is just what you need. Unlike standard magnesium supplements that only provide one or two forms, this is the only supplement on the market that combines all seven types of magnesium for a truly comprehensive solution. Magnesium is essential to several critical functions, from energy production and hormone balance to heart health and muscle function, helping you feel your best every day.
When you're low on magnesium, you might feel tired, experience muscle cramps, or have trouble sleeping—but with this unique formula, you can experience the full benefits of magnesium, including better sleep, better stress response, more energy, and sharper brain function. Plus, with a 365-day money-back guarantee, there’s no risk in trying it out to see how it can help you feel your best!
The classic. The cultural icon. The shoe editor Alex would recommend if he was pushed to recommend "only one" pair of shoes to a friend starting running.
Vincent Bouillard managed to pull off something incredible—winning the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB) while juggling a full-time job. Winning the world's biggest ultra-trail event without the luxury of having running as a full-time job was nearly unthinkable...until now.
