This week on The Long Run The London Marathon delivers history — the sub-2 barrier is officially broken. Sebastian Sawe makes history with 1:59:30, while Tigst Assefa headlines an insanely fast women’s race. We break down the performances, the shoes on the podium, and Sawe’s eye-watering 230g carb race-day fueling strategy. We also dive into the new Adidas Adizero Adios Pro Evo 3 — a 97g super shoe claiming a 1.6% efficiency gain — and what it means for the future of racing. Plus, we ask: when do laces disappear? and which brands are actually getting it right? We compare forefoot energy return across top race-day shoes, and wrap it all up with our week of training.
