It’s been an exciting two weeks for the marathoning world.
London became the first official marathon in history to see a sub-two-hour finish, with two men breaking the barrier in the same race.
The women’s-only world record was also lowered. Boston saw its 15-year course record fall the week before, too.
Results like these don’t happen by chance. They’re built through the talent and dedication of exceptional athletes and coaches—supported by better fueling, smarter training, stronger recovery, and performance innovations that are reshaping what’s possible in road racing.
Most of us aren’t lining up to win medals, but everyday runners can still use the same principles to train better, recover faster, and race stronger.
