Your long-awaited Josh Hoey update.
The 26-year-old, who has not raced since breaking the indoor 800m world record in January, was caught in an injury cycle, culminating in a stress fracture in his lower left leg. He's now back to training.

When the ref said "Unsportsmanlike Conduct: Simulating using the restroom" I thought he was making stuff up.
He was not.

After losing both world records over the last 3 years, the Berlin Marathon is hoping to get one back on Sunday.
They're hyping Tigst Assefa's run as an attempt on Ruth Chepngetich's dubious 2:09:56 WR. Assefa just says she wants to PR (2:11:53).

This morning, Sweden's Andreas Almgren had something tucked inside the back of his shorts as he snapped Africa's 30-year win streak at the World Half Marathon Championships with a European record of 58:06. What was it? We have the answer. letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.…

We hate to say it, but the answer is simple. A team of 9:00 guys will slaughter a team of 9:45 guys. Are we even sure a team full of 9:45 guys would
win D1 women’s nationals? 3 of NC states top 4 had pbs in the 8:40s for 3k.
How many other D1 Head Coaches are still grinding out phone calls to 9:36 3200m guys?
How am I still getting “big-timed” by kids who aren’t finishing in the top 50 of their state?
I can either build my program with 9:45 guys from NJ or sub 9:00 guys from Europe.

"Grand Slam Track showed that attracting athletes is the easy part. Attracting fans, sponsors, and revenue is where it gets hard."
Good piece on the third edition of Athlos, which takes place in London tonight
Features two Irish athletes: Rhasidat Adeleke and Sophie O'Sullivan
Through two years, Athlos’ vibes have been great.
But a pro sports venture cannot survive on vibes alone. Athlos was meant to expand in 2026, but wound up cancelling its NYC event.
A look at the state of the series ahead of today’s Athlos London meet:

The first World Ultimate Champs may not have "redefined the athletics experience," but it didn't need to in order to be a success. Putting a great championship meet where we should have already had one was enough.

Jakob wins global title 7 months post-Achilles surgery.
Josh Kerr = Roger Bannister?
A woman breaks a men's American record by running 636 miles in 6 days.
And one very messy Hyrox finish that just forced a rule change.

In an event prone to upsets, Josh Kerr left no doubt on Sunday about who is the best 1500-meter runner on the planet.
Kerr closed out a historic 2026 campaign with what may have been the fastest close ever in a sub-3:30 race (52.57 last lap!).

Was Melissa Jefferson-Wooden’s 21.47 the greatest 200m ever run?
When you adjust for wind and altitude and temperature there is a strong argument it was.
