"Jeff Galloway will live in running lore for his racing (ie the 10,000m at the '72 Olympics) and his run-walk method. Perhaps what he'll be most remembered for is his ability to inspire people to do far more than they thought they could." — @ajoneswilkins.bsky.social

The married couple of Henriette Albon (Norway) and Jonathan Albon (U.K.) won the 2026 Transgrancanaria Classic 126K on Saturday.

Both executed dominant races through a cold and wet night and a quickly warming day to finish in 15:16:33 and 13:58:06, respectively.

Real talk: most masters runners are leaving performance on the table by not strength training.

That is very well said. And you mention something that hasn't really been articulated yet — 18 miles for a marathon is a DNF. Safety first, yes. But 18 miles does not make a marathon.

LA Marathon organizers decided runners will get a finisher medal even if you take a shortcut at Mile 18, as a heat-relief shortcut for this Sunday's race.

Jacob Kiplimo Returns To The Scene Of His World Record — And Unfinished Business Jacob Kiplimo is going back to Lisbon.

Jacob Kiplimo will race the EDP Lisbon Half Marathon on Saturday, where in 2021 he set the HM world record of 57:31.

Now 25, he returns with different motivation. The official world record no longer belongs to him.

And there’s a good argument that it should.

30-minute trail workouts for busy days - Canadian Running Magazine These short and spicy sessions will keep you on your toes when time is tight

Trail runners love long days in the mountains, but the reality is that, for many of us, work, family, weather and life in general can shrink training time, and planned runs keep getting crossed off the calendar. This can be discouraging.

Located squarely in the Midwest, Duluth, Minn., doesn’t have mountains, but what it does have is quality trails easily accessible from a larger urban area.

What Duluth lacks in alpine terrain, it more than makes up for with accessibility, character and community.
