Happy Monday!​ ​ Here's what I have for you today:
Most runners obsess over legs and core, but the miles eventually expose what’s missing: an upper body that can actually hold form together. This guide breaks down why upper body matters far more than most runners think. ​
World Athletics just rejected Grand Slam Track’s offer to pay half its outstanding invoice, dealing a major blow to GST’s already-fraying survival plan. Vendors now have a choice… or risk losing everything. ​
Think sprinting has nothing to do with marathoners? Think again. Short, sharp speed work can transform your running form and unlock free speed you didn’t know you had. ​
Is the treadmill secretly helping… or holding you back? And does running outside actually make you fitter, or just muddier? The science of surface, muscle activation, and pacing tells a story most runners haven’t heard, and it might change how you train.​ ​
Most runners know cadence matters, but few understand just how much it shapes speed, efficiency, and injury risk. This guide breaks down why a quicker step rate can change your entire stride, and the small, doable tweaks that make it happen.​ ​

Running economy isn’t just built from the waist down.
Strong arms, lats, and shoulders help stabilize your stride and delay fatigue, and most runners skip that work entirely.
This guide shows how upper-body strength actually influences performance, then walks through 11 exercises that target the muscles runners rely on but rarely train.
Grand Slam Track’s financial crisis took another hit this week when World Athletics flatly rejected its 50% repayment offer, the same deal GST is pressuring all vendors to accept before a looming bankruptcy deadline.
With the governing body demanding full payment, the league’s already-shaky rescue plan just became even harder to sell.
A well-designed sprint session can make distance runners faster, smoother, and more economical if you ease into it the right way.
This guide breaks down the best beginner sprint workouts, plus how to warm up, protect yourself from injury, and safely add speed to your training week.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your body works differently on a treadmill versus the roads, the answer is yes, just not in the way most runners assume.
This guide breaks down what really changes, what stays the same, and when each option might give you an edge.
Cadence might be the most underrated part of running mechanics. A few extra steps per minute can improve efficiency, lower injury risk, and make speed work feel easier.
Here’s how to adjust it safely, and why it’s worth your attention.
