Here's what I have for you today:
π 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. β
𧱠Every runner's worst nightmare is hitting the wall...here's how to avoid it.β β
π« 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? β
π§πΌβπ» 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. β β 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 βbonkingβ, 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 outsideβas summer transitions into fall and then winterβyou 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.

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 incredibleβwinning the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB) while juggling a full-time job. β βWinning the world's biggest ultra-trail event without the luxury of having running as a full-time job was nearly unthinkable...until now.
