Running

The question 'I' m arriving into X station in London at 8.15am on Saturday. What parkruns can I get to in time?' comes up fairly often on parkrun tourism groups, so I thought I'd try to put a simple list together to help. For the list I have used the 14 central London terminal stations plus the 4 central London through-stations that are considered terminals for ticketing purposes. These are collectively known as the London Station Group.

On Monday, George Scholey, originally from the United Kingdom, took to Toronto’s Central Tech Stadium with a team of pacers, videographers, and timers to attempt the Rubik’s Cube mile world record in front of a crowd of supporters. Unlike a regular mile, the Rubik’s Cube mile starts with Scholey solving a Rubik’s Cube, then requires him to solve a different cube on each subsequent lap, except the last. He ran an impressive 5:09.25, shattering the previous mark of 5:22.75 set by the U.S.’s Jake Hanson in June, and earning his fourth Guinness World Records title.

Adidas athletes have won eight of the 12 Major races in 2026, seven of them in the Evo 3, and they hold 20 of the 36 podium places. Nike runners have seven of those places, ASICS runners five, Under Armour two, and On and Xtep one each, going by Sneaker Freaker‘s tally of the season with Chicago added. Across the same seven Majors last year, Adidas won seven of 14.

Just curious. If you're training for a race, what's your weekly mileage like, and what distance are you training for? I'm stuck around 20 mpw right now because life, kind of want to live vicariously through other runners. Hoping to eventually get back to ultras, but probably won't have time to run enough for that for at least a year or two.

Given the recent interest in adolescent running this week's HPL seminar seems on-topic for the discussion.

With a child of my own interested in running a marathon, I researched marathon training programs for youth in the US (there are some!), injury rates and how these compare to high school running programs.

I’ve had some form of Achilles tendinitis for a couple years now. I had gotten to the point where I could do about 60 minutes of running pain free this year, but that darn pain came back out of the blue this past month.

I’m taking my volume way down and trying to do isometric exercises to build up my tendon, but I still need to do SOME type of cardio. I was hoping to do an Olympic triathlon next year and need to continue building my base to have any chance.

So with that being said, does anyone have any substitute exercises that can get as close to running as possible without putting too much stress on my Achilles? I’ve heard some people suggest the elliptical, but I’m curious if anyone has had success with anything else?

As title says, I started running again after 1 year break and gained weight therefore I'm little bit anxious about overdoing it without being aware of it because risk of injuries.

If anybody has similar experience, I would love to hear it!!!

With this initiative, Chicago follows Paris' lead [though it makes their use optical]

A free-running community has been targeted again for allowing trans women to compete in the women’s category.

Parkrun is a global organization with events each Saturday and Sunday in more than 20 countries around the world, according to its website. It offers several different distances for people to participate in.

The organization allows participants to allow people to identify with their gender instead of the sex assigned at birth. It also allows a range of options for people who identify as nonbinary.
