John Korir just won the Boston Marathon in a scorching 2:01:52, 4:39 per mile.
He runs 150 miles per week, but he makes sure there's plenty of slow miles in that training (e.g. 9:14 pace). Keep easy miles in your running program.

Great stuff on Mr. Skenes.

This is the most detailed look at his workout and preparation that I’ve seen

Volume vs Intensity? The science just answered it.

A massive 2025 meta-analysis (6,000 participants) breaks it down:

1. Mitochondria ↑ across ALL training styles
- Endurance: +23%
- HIIT: +27%
- Sprint: +27%

2. Time efficiency matters
- Sprint training = 2–3x more gains per hour

3. VO₂ max improves regardless of method
~9–12% increase across the board

4. Capillaries favor endurance work
~ +5–10% greater density vs HIIT/sprints

5. Beginners win big
- Lower fitness = larger gains
• Age, sex, health status? No major limitations to improvement

Bottom line:
Intensity saves time. Volume builds the engine. Consistency wins everything.

Research on professional rugby players found that watching what they did wrong after a game led to elevated cortisol and worse performance the next game. Watching what they did well had the opposite effect, a bump in testosterone and better performance.

“Repeated exercise produces robust physiological benefits & is the leading lifestyle intervention for human health.”

-Kindel et al, Neuron 2026

= obvious to many now but significant b/c it’s the 1st line of a traditional scientific study. 5 years ago no one would say it.

A single session of sprint interval exercise elicits more pronounced effects on measures of skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity than a single bout of moderate-intensity continuous exercise https://t.co/EoRhfTkzVo

“I trained 4 years to run 9 seconds and people give up when they don’t see results in 2 months.” - Usain Bolt

Progress takes time, routine & consistency.

Jessica Hull has medalled for the second time in a weekend and cracked another national record, with the Australian middle-distance ace firing another warning after silver in the 1,500 metres at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Poland. 🇦🇺🥉

Far from being downcast at again being denied gold, just as at the Paris Olympics and last year's outdoor world championships, Hull declared: "I know my time is coming."

I was going to send this to @Brady_H but I think many people will enjoy this biography of legendary Oregon track and field coach and Nike cofounder Bill Bowerman. Unique teaching tactics (that would never ever fly today!) https://t.co/XbCUh5jESl

@TheSharkTweet @GatorGately Not bad Pappa Shark. Not bad! Alas this fella on screen, can not whip round an Ironman course in 3 modalities at an incessant speed, nor can he tip the card at HQ. Furthermore, I see no veins protruding out of singlets. Yet again a TEMU fail.

“I can’t believe you two had never met before you were so insync and sounded like brothers”

“Such an awesome show, great banter, and knowledge of both the game and Joe himself, the last 2 min I realised you had just met. It was like you had been mates for 20 years”
