Crazy finish to this year's Ironman World Championships for the women. Norway's Solveig Lovseth won in a race of attrition as favorites Lucy Charles Barkley, the defending champion, and Taylor Knibb both dropped out on the run while leading the race. Taylor was less than 2 miles from the finish when she collapsed. Solveig ran in On Cloudboom Strike running shoes with a 2:55 marathon. Great Britain's Kat Matthews almost caught her with a 2:47 marathon in Asics Metaspeed Rays. Epic race.

Marathon season is upon us, and many of my running patients ask for recommendations for new shoes for their training and racing. This is an excellent starter list. The best way to choose your next shoe is to get to a great local running shoe store and try multiple models from different companies. Take your time and walk around the store in them. I recommend trying 2 different shoes at the same time to let your feet decide which one they prefer. Try at least 4 different models in that shoe category. I also recommend shoe shopping in the afternoon when your feet are their most swollen. If you haven't tried a brand in years: give it a shot. I'm constantly surprised by the evolution of a brand I swore off only a few years ago. Here's to your next great run, walk, race.

Congratulations to Casper Stornes of Norway for winning the Ironman World Championships in Nice, France. He lead a Norwegian sweep of the podium with Gustav Iden and Kristian Blummenfelt finishing 2nd and 3rd. Casper finished his race with a 2:29 marathon (wearing On running shoes). Incredible. The women’s race in Kona is next.

Congratulations to Tigst Assefa for breaking the women’s only marathon world record at 2:15:50. It was a great comeback victory for her over Sifan Hassan who passed her in the final mile of the Olympic marathon last year. She’s now won twice in London and twice in Berlin. Her race shoe: Adidas Adizero Adios Pro Evo 1. Great race.

Incredible London Marathon yesterday as Sebastian Sawe wins in 2:02:57. At 30km he dropped a 4:18 mile to pull away from the leaders. More amazing is that this is only his second marathon run (29 years old). He started seriously running in his 20s, and professionally at 27. Never too late to start running! The GOAT Eliud Kipchoge placed 6th in 2:05:25, not bad at 40 (or any age). Congrats to all my patients who ran this past weekend.

With a jaw-dropping 4:18 20th mile, Sabastian Sawe blew up the lead pack and was never challenged en route to winning the 2025 London Marathon in 2:02:27.

Jakob Ingebrigsten broke Yared Nuguse’s 5 day old indoor mile record this past weekend. Jakob, like Yared and American Hobbs Kessler, seems to be in top shape after a tough Olympic final last year where he basically rabitted the Olympic medalist’s Cole Hacker, Josh Kerr, and Yared to the medals when they all passed him with 150 meters to go. He is still the man. It’s gonna be a crazy 2025. The women’s mile is going off with top times from Americans like the controversial Shelby Houlihan. Oregon’s Silan Ayyildiz just broke Katelyn Tuohy’s mile record in 4:23. Looking forward to the championship races coming up.

Hello to all track and field fans. We are in the middle of one of the best indoor track seasons for distance running. American Grant Fisher broke 2 world record over the past week. First was his world record and gutsy last lap 7:22 win over 1500 meter Olympic gold medalist Cole Havker in the 3000. Then 6 days later he took the 5000 meter world record in 12:44 running the last half on his own.
