The combination made for challenging conditions from the start.

Super shoes and ultralight gear make a difference, but with new advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) that can look at our running form and compare it to the ideal, analyze our nutrition intake from a simple photo and help us plan our diets, and offer guidance on training and recovery, the interwovenness of technology and running is only set to increase.

If you build it into your schedule intentionally, strategically, and with a clear understanding of what you're trying to accomplish, you'll thrive.
