🚨 BREAKING: Pharrell is back in the running game. This fall, he brings a new twist to performance footwear with the Adidas adiZero EVO SL ‘Preloved Brown’, the third edition of his sleek running silhouette.

Dressed in a deep earthy tone that perfectly fits the Humanrace brand’s message of “promoting connectivity through movement,” this version blends minimalism with performance. Subtle red accents on the heel counter and outsole add a striking contrast to the dark brown upper, giving the shoe a clean yet bold personality.

The pair comes with extra red laces, just in case you want a pop of color. And it’s not just about looks the engineered mesh upper keeps things light and breathable, while the Lightstrike Pro midsole (39 mm with a 6 mm drop) ensures a soft but responsive ride.

Set to drop November 8 for $180, the release will first hit Europe, with other regions following soon after.

Pharrell’s take on running style once again proves that performance and design don’t have to live in separate worlds.

In the world of amateur running, a new “goal” has become trendy: completing all the Abbott World Marathon Majors Tokyo, London, Berlin, Chicago, New York, Boston, and now Sydney, with Cape Town on the way.

A global tour that sounds like a runner’s dream but increasingly looks like a luxury tour for the wealthy.

Let’s be honest: does completing all the Majors really prove you’re a great runner, or just that you can afford flights, hotels, entry fees, and charity bibs?

Many of these “finishers” proudly show off their medals and Six Star Medal as a status symbol, yet they finish marathons in 5, 6, 7, even 10 hours.

This isn’t about shaming anyone’s effort everyone runs at their own pace but it’s interesting that those same times wouldn’t qualify for Boston, even though they can “buy” an entry through charity or travel packages.

In short: they don’t qualify, they pay.

Running all six Majors isn’t cheap:

- International flights
- Hotels in expensive cities
- Food, transportation, souvenirs
-Entry fees often exceeding $500

So is it truly about athletic achievement, or is it luxury tourism with a medal included?

Meanwhile, some runners focus on doing one marathon well with discipline, strong training, and finish times under 3:20. They may not have photos in Times Square or medals from Tokyo, but they have something far more valuable: performance and integrity.

This isn’t about judgment, but reflection.
Running was born as a personal challenge, not a display of wealth or status.

When did running become a competition of spending power instead of endurance?
Does being a marathoner mean crossing six finish lines or giving your best in one?

The Science Behind Why Age Doesn’t Limit Your Running Potential 🤯

At 31, the runner Reut Waserman never imagined that her second marathon would become one of the most meaningful experiences of her life.

After completing her first marathon in 4:03, she sat down with her coach and set a new goal: a sub-4 finish.

Just a month later, she secured a coveted slot for the Berlin Marathon, ready to chase that breakthrough performance.

But a few weeks into training, something felt off. Reut was unusually tired, her legs heavy, her energy low. Two negative pregnancy tests later, a third one confirmed what she hadn’t expected she was pregnant.

After careful discussions with her husband, her doctor, and her coach, the decision was made: she would continue training, but with a new purpose to run safely, listen to her body, and embrace the journey, not the clock.

On September 21, 2025, Reut lined up at the start of the Berlin Marathon, 23 weeks pregnant. She ran smart, steady, and from the heart, finishing in 5:50 far from her original goal, but a finish that meant infinitely more.

Healthy, proud, and glowing, Reut crossed the finish line knowing she’d just achieved something extraordinary!

EXCLUSIVE: Imagine running your worst marathon in 2:14:36. For most runners, that would be a dream a lifetime achievement. But for Eliud Kipchoge, it’s what he calls a bad day.

At 40 years old, Kipchoge lined up for the 2025 New York City Marathon and crossed the line in 2:14:36, finishing 17th.

No podium, no record, no fairy-tale ending.
Yet, that’s exactly what makes this story so powerful.

Because even the greatest of all time has bad days.
Days when the legs don’t respond, the rhythm fades, and the body says no. But what separates legends from the rest isn’t the time on the clock it’s how they respond.

Kipchoge didn’t make excuses. He smiled at the finish line, congratulated others, and reminded us all that failure is part of greatness.

His “worst” marathon is still a time that 99.9% of runners could only dream of a reminder that consistency, humility, and passion outlast any single result.

So next time your run doesn’t go as planned, remember: even Eliud has off days. And that’s what keeps him human.
