Sometimes, the best part about running is inspiring the people around us we care about.

I'm today's SMM newsletter, we discussed the benefits of jump training and plyometrics for runners, but enough talk. If you want to see how it's done, a recent clip from .olyslagers puts those lessons into action, demonstrating her plyo session on the beach that develops explosiveness while keeping the impact forces low. Sounds like the perfect way to take advantage of the warming spring weather!

While running and racing appears like a solitary endeavor on the surface, we all know the strength of our community is what makes this sport so special. Even in a highly competitive race like the Boston Marathon, if you fall down, there’ll be folks willing to sacrifice their own finishing time to pick you back up. That’s exactly what happened to runner and Northeastern University student Ajay Haridasse, who hit his limit near the final stretch of the race and fell to the ground. Luckily for him, two strangers came to the rescue, putting his arms around their shoulders and crossing the line together. Check out this interview with Ajay himself in a clip from .

If you put us on the spot, the SMM Team agrees the Boston Marathon is our favorite race in the world. Okay, we’re a bit biased, given that our office is only a few blocks away from the finish line. Whether you agree or not, it’s hard to match the number of magic moments that come out of that race every year, and 2026 was no exception. One clip that caught our eye from mirelsharxhi featured a runner hyping up the crowd with some dance moves on the go. Another reel shared by .runs featured the moment Clayton Young broke free from the pack to throw out some high-fives to spectators along the course. Pretty cool of an elite competitor to interact with the fans while so much is on the line!

In our experience, walking downstairs the morning after a marathon isn’t much fun. On the other hand, climbing the stairs and heading to bed a few hours after a successful marathon finish is a happy and gratifying reward. created her own “atta girl” moment in a pretty hilarious fashion Monday night.

The Boston Marathon always draws a star-studded field of competitors – this year has famous running pros and celebrities alike. But as we head into the weekend and prepare for Marathon Monday, we’re looking back on two legends in particular to inspire some motivation: Bill Rodgers and Bob Hall. If you need a refresher, Bob Hall was the first athlete to complete the race in a wheelchair, and Bill Rodgers is a four-time Boston Marathon champion who dominated in the late ‘70s and ‘80s. In a clip shared by , Bill gives Bob a tap on the shoulder as they cross paths mid-race, and it's a small but powerful gesture of two athletes acknowledging each other’s success. Sadly, Bob Hall passed away last Sunday, April 12, but his legacy will live on in all the competitors who make their way down Boylston Street on Monday.

Two things we love: improving running efficiency and growing our overall fitness. When we can do both at the same time, it’s a happy day. We came across a clip from .athletics that’s got us excited to try these sprinter-inspired burpees – building explosiveness, power, and coordination in both the upper and lower body. If you’re looking to get off the line a little faster, or just challenge yourself with some fast-paced movement, follow along with his demonstration.

Warmups can feel tedious at times, but not when you’re moving as efficiently as . One of her videos came across our feed reminding us that it only takes 5 minutes of effort to make a difference. She cycles through 8 moves – from hip circles, leg swings, lunges, and more – to wake up your hips, activate your legs, and prepare your body to glide into your main workout. If you need a ton of bang for your buck in your warmup routine, her suggestions are a good place to start.

More and more, we’re seeing coaches make the point that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to running form. In fact, takes it a step further in a recent video, saying that the idea you should aim for “perfect” form can do more harm than good. He suggests letting your body move naturally, and while certain form changes can improve efficiency or take stress off of problem areas, they aren’t necessary in every situation. If you’ve been afraid of running with “bad” form, Kelton’s analysis should give you some relief.
