Research Says This Marathon Training Method Can Shave 16 Minutes Off Your Finish Time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When it comes to marathon training, runners often chase more and more miles. Because more volume must equal faster times, right? Well, research on Boston Marathon participants suggests mileage isn’t the only—or maybe even the most important—factor in shaving time off your finish. You also have to consider the quality of those miles.

5K vs. Marathon: Which Race Is Actually Harder? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Which is harder: a 5K or a marathon? Ask a runner who specializes in either, and they’ll likely say it’s the other one. The truth is, both these distances can be seriously challenging—and training for one can help you improve in the other. Here’s the secret: Even though the distances are wildly different (the marathon is equal to about 8.5 consecutive 5Ks), the training fundamentals for both are pretty much the same, says Nike Run Coach Jes Woods. “You’re going to have easy runs, you’re going to
