Sharon Lokedi set a Boston Marathon course record, ran a 65-minute half marathon, and stepped foot on another NYC Marathon podium.

She didn’t just have a good year in 2025, she had the kind of season that rewrites expectations for the future of women’s distance running, and her 2:17:22 course record at Boston can attest to this.

Sharon’s most recent success came at the New York City Marathon, where she came in second place with a time of 2:20:07; this was her third career podium finish at NYC, as she won the whole thing in 2022 during an impressive marathon breakout performance.

The year 2025 also saw her win the NYC Half Marathon in an event record time, and then set a PR in the 13.1 distance with a 1:05:00 at the Copenhagen Half.

She came in an impressive 4th place in the marathon during the 2024 Olympic Games in France, running a 2:23:14. Prior to that she was a stalwart in the collegiate ranks while running at Kansas, winning the 10,000m at the 2018 NCAA Outdoor Championships.

After a Boston course record and a world-class season, she’s stepping into the next chapter with more clarity, more confidence, and more momentum than ever before. Sharon Lokedi’s story is unfolding in real time, and we are here to witness it.

The holidays are in full swing, and we're pulling back the curtain on one of the most anticipated running-shoe launches of the year.

The brand-new Brooks Glycerin Flex is here, and we have Nikhil Jain, Director of Product Line Management at Brooks Running–and the mind helping steer innovation behind the brand–joining us to break it all down.

The Glycerin Flex is an all-new, highly cushioned running shoe debuting in early 2026 that offers a smoother, more flexible ride compared to the standard Glycerin.

Nikhil Jain himself brings unmatched insight into the art and science of building world-class running shoes. From line planning to forecasting; from creative problem-solving to leading teams that shape what millions of runners feel underfoot; he offers a rare look into Brooks’ product engine.

Whether you’re a shoe nerd, a data-driven athlete, or just curious about what makes the Glycerin Flex so different, this is required listening. If you’re interested in delving into the experience of the future of cushioning in running straight from the source, this is the place to be.
