Running provides a rare opportunity for unreachability in a hyperconnected world.
GLL's decision to cancel its music licence and play royalty-free songs from the Power Music app has sparked outrage among instructors and gym members, who feel it is killing the energy in workouts.
After a tough workout, your body enters a state of stress: muscle fibers are damaged, energy stores are depleted, and hydration levels drop. This is a critical moment. If your body gets the right nutrients, it starts rebuilding immediately. If not, recovery slows down, and so does progress.
Tyburski was a professional adventurer, financing his pursuits via magazine articles and speaking gigs, and even making a documentary about his quest. His whole raison d'etre was to push past his limitations, showing what a person is capable of when their mindset is strong enough.
I have evolved from someone who didn't think much of the bar except for resting my legs to thinking of it as an obvious life-saving precaution. Dr. Bourne shared several examples from Mammoth in which the bar could have saved lives, including the death of her former ski coach, who fell from a chairlift to his death, most likely from a medical event which may have been treatable.
You know those people who seem to radiate energy and look like they could run a marathon at a moment's notice? The ones who somehow maintain incredible fitness without posting gym selfies or talking about their deadlift PR? I used to think they had some secret genetic advantage.

It's woven into the fabric of their daily lives through simple, sustainable habits.
Cross training and running go together like peanut butter and jelly. If you build it into your schedule intentionally, strategically, and with a clear understanding of what you're trying to accomplish, you'll thrive. Megan makes the case that cross-training serves runners for several distinct reasons, and the right reason for you will shape how you approach it.
January might be coming to a close, but the focus on wellness doesn't have to die with it. If anything, it's a good time to check in with those 2026 goals and see what you want to prioritise for the rest of the year. To that end, we've gathered some of the best deals we've seen in the past few weeks that will help you tick off every good intention you set this month.
In this episode of the On Coaching Podcast, Steve Magness and Jon Marcus discuss the concept of 'fit but flat,' exploring the phenomenon where athletes excel in metabolic fitness but fail to perform competitively due to a lack of neuromuscular coordination. Using examples like middle-distance runner Ingram Brion, the hosts delve into how metabolic training alone can lead to race failures.
It's just what it looks like: I time my planks then file them away, determined to last a little longer tomorrow. And sometimes I do, for several days in a row, then one day I'll collapse nearly a minute short of my personal best. I'll pound the mat like Charlton Heston at the end of Planet of the Apes, then I'll get myself together - you've got to stay cool at Equinox - and move on with my day.
