Boston’s 2026 Medal Revealed, Two World Records & A Wild Week in Running

Boston’s 2026 Medal Revealed, Two World Records & A Wild Week in Running

This week on The Running Story, Michael Doyle and Jessy Carveth break down five of the biggest headlines in distance running.

The NYC Half Marathon elite fields are officially set, and the matchups are electric. Grant Fisher makes his highly anticipated half marathon debut, while Sharon Lokedi and Hellen Obiri renew one of the sport’s fiercest rivalries.

On the track, Keely Hodgkinson takes down a long-standing 800m indoor world record in dominant fashion.

In ultrarunning, Ashley Paulson runs 12:19:34 to break the women’s 100-mile world record — but her past suspension raises questions that the sport can’t ignore.

Plus, a Florida man is federally indicted under the Rodchenko Anti-Doping Act in connection with an Olympic sprinter — a case that could have serious implications for elite sport.

And finally, the Boston Marathon unveils its 2026 finisher medal. Is it a classic… or a step backward? We debate.

Subscribe for weekly breakdowns of the biggest stories in the running world.
