Ep #046 Doube the Tickets

This week on The Long Run we look at the Tokyo Marathon celebrating its 20th anniversary with a record 40,000 runners, and the rise of Steppa, the app letting you gamble on your daily step count. Around the Track, the Aussies continue to shine at the Diamond League, we discuss the Commonwealth Games squad announcement, and check in on the unique Mid State Mile backyard ultra. We then preview the biggest week in American trail running with Western States 100 and the Broken Arrow Skyrace, unpack what skyrunning actually is, and debate whether trail shoes are starting to look suspiciously like 2014 soccer boots. Plus, thoughts on the latest HYROX footwear, the Adidas Adizero Dropset Pro, Nike’s hybrid trainer, and of course, our week of training.
