Jacqueline Alnes was a freshman Division I runner when she began experiencing mysterious neurological symptoms. Desperate for a solution, she descended into an online raw-diet community.
@cyu888 caught up with Alnes about her new book, The Fruit Cure: outsideonline.com/health/wel…

“If you look super-technical with a bunch of bells and whistles and you’re just out for a slow jog through Brooklyn—then that’s not a vibe at all.”

new from @sweatscience: on how even very simple plyometric routines can be "as effective as supershoes, and way cheaper" for boosting running economy:

"Unfortunately, this particular shameless running columnist has also flown thousands of miles for running events over the last decade—either on my own dime or thanks to a Faustian invitation from a shoe brand."

downtime from training is weird because, like, when’s the appropriate time to shower?

it feels great to come home after running a marathon, until you remember that you live in a walk-up apartment

Congrats to @outsidemagazine pheeenom @mollyshirreen, who ran the Boston Marathon today with a time of 03:00:54. (I think that's right. I got it off their website.) 🏃♀️🏆

Emma Bates of Elk River, Minnesota, earned fifth place at the Boston Marathon, the best finish by an American woman. She crossed the finish line in 2 hours, 22 minutes and 10 seconds, a personal best, and secured a qualifying time for the 2024 Olympics. nyti.ms/3mJYJS7

What a debut!
@IMTINYRIK runs 2:33:57 at the 2023 @bostonmarathon in her first marathon. With that time, she becomes the fastest American-born Black woman in history.

When I signed up for Boston, I couldn’t even run. I couldn’t fathom slamming down hills- an IT band’s nightmare. I did in faith I could get ready in time & to learn the course for the future.
So glad I didn’t miss this. It’s always worth showing up to find out

18th sucks but a big step forward after NYC Marathon. Wouldn’t miss this party.

For @nytimes Sports, I wrote about running uniforms.
Men’s and women’s teams race in dramatically different uniforms. But, it wasn’t always that way. How did today’s norms come to be and who are the runners pushing back on norms?

A new paper argues that there's no convincing evidence for adapting your training based on your menstrual cycle.

Important topic, and perhaps an unexpected take. Worth a read for researchers, coaches, athletes, exercisers (i.e. everyone).
The evidence does not support widespread recommendations to adjust your training based on menstrual cycle phase.
Check out our new paper!
