An Olympic Rivalry You Need to Know About, An Ultrarunning Gel Controversy, and Running in the Heat

In this week's episode of the Marathon Handbook Podcast, our editors Alex, Katelyn and Michael break down the Jakob Ingrebrestin vs. Josh Kerr rivalry, which is the most hyped track and field beef in generations, and how it will come to a head at this summer's Paris Olympic Games. Then, they explain a controversy brewing in the ultrarunning world triggered by a gel company and claims that its product is "fraudulent." Finally, they break down how to run safely and successfully in the heat.

Hosts: Alex Cyr, Michael Doyle and Katelyn Tocci

We provide free and super popular coach-vetted training plans for just about every distance and ability level, from your first 5K to a sub-3 hour marathon, to a 100-miler training plan. We've got you covered. We also follow the latest news and storylines in the running world, and review all the best shoes, running watches and gear on our site and our Youtube channel.

At our heart, we are runners and athletes ourselves – every person on our team is a running coach, distance runner, or certified health and fitness trainer.
