Why do long runs feel so hard? One runner shares three surprising (and slightly controversial) tricks that transformed her long-runs and her relationship with endurance training.

A sports dietitian breaks down everything runners need to know about fueling — from strategic carb-loading (not just pasta night) to race-day gel timing, hitting 75g of carbs per hour, and fast post-race recovery.

Does running ever actually get easy? Allie and Jeff break down the science of how long it takes your body to adapt — from feeling adaptations in as little as two weeks to tendons needing 8-10 weeks (or longer) to catch up.

One Mid-Atlantic town took the crown (again) as America's fittest city.
