Steve DeBoer started running in 1968 because he wanted to make his high school basketball team. He got cut. He kept running anyway. On Sunday, June 7, DeBoer marked day 20,411 of his consecutive-day running streak with a 55-minute jog through Rochester alongside friends and family, ABC 6 News reported. That works out to 55 … Read more
American sprinter Marvin Bracy-Williams has been handed a 12-year ban for missing three out-of-competition drug tests, according to a statement released Friday by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. Hours after the ruling came down, the 32-year-old told the agency he plans to retire. Bracy-Williams lives in Clermont, Florida. He took silver in the 100 metres at … Read more
The story we usually tell about motivation goes like this: first, you feel inspired, then you act. That narrative works—right up until it doesn’t. When you’re stuck in a slump, waiting for a wave of enthusiasm to hit can keep you sidelined for weeks or months. Behavioral activation flips that script. Instead of trying to … Read more
The Nike Alphafly 3 and Saucony Endorphin Elite 2 are two of the fastest marathon racing shoes money can buy — and at $285 and $275 respectively, they cost about the same as a race entry.

The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 and Hoka Bondi 9 are the two shoes runners point to when they say they want “maximum cushioning.” Both are flagship max-cushion daily trainers, both land within a fraction of an ounce of each other on the scale, and both stack up close to the legal limit of foam.

Rory Linkletter has had the kind of spring most distance runners only daydream about.

The Barkley Marathons does not have a reputation for kindness. Twenty people have finished it in 39 years of attempts, and most coverage of the Tennessee race tends to dwell on what makes it so hard: the sawbriars, the fog, the unmarked course, and the standard warning issued to every runner that “no help is … Read more
Darren Wood ran his thousandth parkrun on May 30, finishing at Morden parkrun in south-west London to a guard of honor, a canary yellow milestone shirt, and a small media swarm. No one else has ever reached that number. More than 4.13 million people have run at least one parkrun since the format launched in … Read more
Soccer’s fastest sprinters are quietly some of the best pure athletes on the planet. They’re not quite Usain Bolt (his peak was 44.72 km/h, which is silly), but the gap is smaller than you’d think — and these guys are doing it after 70 minutes of running around, with a defender hanging off their shirt, … Read more
