This week on The Long Run: Mum and Dad are fighting — Strava is suing Garmin. What’s actually going on, and would Strava survive without Garmin uploads? Then we dive into the Boston Marathon’s new downhill indexing rule, where net-downhill courses will now face time penalties of up to ten minutes for qualification. We go Around the Track with the Saddles 50 & 100 Miler in Arizona, break down the Melbourne Marathon course, and look at P.volve’s new Sculpt 9 amino supplement — a formula claiming to keep women’s muscle response consistent across the entire cycle. Plus, as always, our week of training.

This week on The Long Run: we talk shoe empires — is Adidas holding the crown? With the Evo SL topping Google’s most-searched shoes of 2025 and a 100km world record to their name, are they the current king of running? In The Listeners Have Spoken, we break down Puma’s new FAST-XP collection, Nike’s super-stacked Vomero Premium, and what it all means for everyday runners. We also touch on trail running for movie stars, head Around the Track with the brutal Mammoth 200 and wrap it all up with our week of training.

This week on The Long Run: Around the Track covers Western Sydney Ironman 70.3, the Sydney Backyard Ultra (still going at 35 yards/212km!), and the World Athletics Champs. We celebrate Brook McIntosh’s run around Australia—14,200km in just over 200 days—raising awareness with The Blue Tree Project. Elton brings in a blind ranking tier list for Gus. The boys debate the carb gel hierarchy, and talk real news with Saucony’s controversial marathon sponsorship. Plus, there’s more trail running propaganda with UTA selling fast and Strava’s new UTMB partnership. We wrap it all up with our week of training.
