"They just want a chance to compete." Yesterday, after much anticipation and speculation, USA Track & Field announced the changes to the qualifying times for the 2028 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials. So, what's it going to take to OTQ leading up to LA 2028, and to get to run at the Trials? For women, the qualifying mark stays the same: 2:37:00. On the men's side, things are getting faster: Men will now need to run 2:16:00 to qualify — a full two minutes faster than the qualifying time for the 2024 Trials. In this episode, USATF's Chairs of the Long Distance Running Committee — Kim Conley and Conor Nickel — join the show to explain what what into making these decisions, and what they mean for athletes and fans alike.

"There's this sense of all these people, they came out to watch you do this weird, crazy thing. And you're running toward the thing you've been working toward for many months, and all of these people are behind you, and people beside you trying to do the same thing. It's very special."

Now, Emily is officially a Boston Marathoner, having completed this year's race in a personal best time of 3:14:53. In this episode, the economist and best-selling author breaks it all down, including what her training was like this time around, what the energy in the city felt like for a first-time Boston Marathoner, and why she briefly considered calling it quits at mile 23.

In this episode, we speak to elite ultrarunner and author Damian Hall. While most teens were experimenting with smoking and drinking, Damian was already running cross-country races. He shares how his journey began with a half marathon in his hometown of Bath, eventually leading him to some of the world's toughest ultramarathons, including the notorious Barkley Marathons.We explore why Damian believes ultrarunning is “easier” than it seems, why he prefers tea over coffee, and what makes the fifth loop of the Barkley so brutal. Insightful, inspiring, and refreshingly honest, this is a conversation every runner should hear.About Vikas Singh:Vikas Singh, an MBA from Chicago Booth, worked at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, APGlobale, and Reliance before coming up with the idea of democratizing fitness knowledge and helping beginners get on a fitness journey.

[Download] Nutrition Blueprint Can you run a half marathon on potatoes instead of gels? Should you eat before a 5 a.m. run? What the heck should you eat after a hard 5K and before a cooldown?

We cover: ✔️ Real food vs. gels for long runs ✔️ Fueling for shorter efforts like 5Ks ✔️ Protein timing and how it changes based on training ✔️ Thoughts on Nuun vs. LMNT electrolytes ✔️ Vegan/vegetarian options that aren't protein shakes ✔️ What to eat if you hate bananas (yes, seriously!) ✔️ Collagen, creatine, turmeric… are they worth it? Plus a rapid-fire lightning round to wrap it all up. If you're a runner who wants clarity without the confusion, this episode is for you.

This week's show brought to you by: Qualia Senolytic As a masters runner, I am always on the lookout to prevent (or at least slow down) many of the common performance declines that happen with age. Qualia Senolytic is designed to selectively target and eliminate damaged or dysfunctional cells in the body, which are called senescent cells. By removing these cells, senolytics aim to rejuvenate tissues, reduce inflammation, and reverse some aspects of aging. Early research has shown senolytics can… Lead to a reduction in systemic inflammation Improve vascular function by reducing senescent cell burden in the arteries. Enhance muscle regeneration while also increasing exercise capacity and decreasing recovery time Lead to significant improvements in joint health Ready to resist aging at the cellular level? Try Qualia Senolytic and use the code RTTT15 to save 15% off any purchase. MAS Iron Outside of training deficiencies, low iron is one of the most common reasons for poor results during workouts and races. Recent research indicates that almost 56% of male runners and 86% of female runners suffer from an iron deficiency that severely hampers performance. The problem with eating iron-rich foods or supplementing with traditional iron supplements is that iron is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb and utilize. In fact, only about 25% of dietary iron found in animal sources is absorbed while 17% or less of the iron from plant sources is absorbed. But MAS Iron has found a way to combat these absorption issues to ensure you can get the iron you need for health and performance. By combining the most efficiently absorbed form of elemental iron with clinically proven ingredients to aid in absorption, MAS Iron performs like no other iron product on the market. In fact, clinical research has shown the combination of ingredients in MAS Iron can quadruple absorption and increase bioavailability by 30%, all while reducing GI issues by 50%. Check out the research and the results for yourself at masedge.com/iron. Runnersconnect fans will automatically save 20% on any purchase.
Welcome to the Episode 110 Highlights Show of the Trail Running Ireland Podcast.In last weeks episode we looked at the role of Artificial Intelligence in running, can it help us train better and race faster, Rene Borg from Running Coach Ireland helped take us through this one.Everyone, get your running gear on, lets go. https://www.patreon.com/trailrunningirelandpodcast
"I set this goal. I made a promise to myself that I wanted this, so I'm going to do it. And no, that's not always fun. Maybe that means a late treadmill run or whatever it may be. But those little wins against your brain — and the battle to not do something — help you on race day. Because when it gets hard, you've already practiced doing it when you don't want to, or when it hurts, or when the conditions aren't ideal, or when you're not comfortable." In 2018, Laura Galeazzo — then Anderson — came on the Ali on the Run Show to talk about getting back on the run after having her first daughter. That year, Laura returned to running with a big literal win, breaking the tape in 2:57 at the Buffalo Marathon. Now, seven years and another daughter later, Laura returns to the show to talk about smashing a goal nine years in the making. At last weekend's McKirdy Micro Marathon, Laura took down a longstanding dream of running sub-2:50, finishing the 26.2 miles in a five-minute personal best of 2:49:32. In this episode, the 23-time marathoner talks about how she has taken nearly an hour off her marathon time, about why this particular race was so significant, and about how she's built so much mental strength to get where she is today.
