This week on The Long Run we go Around the Track to recap a wild Ultra Trails Kosciuszko weekend, where miler and 100km runners battled actual snow on the up to the summit. We run through the standout performances from Stephanie Auston, Morgan Glazier, Sophie Broome, Loris Lassere, Andrea Kolbeinsdottir and Michael Dimuantes. Then we reveal Our Top Shoes of 2025 along with the Supwell 2025 Running Shoe Tech Awards — the best, fastest, weirdest and most exciting innovations coming next year. We begin our inaugral fight against the upcoming government-mandated break In Release Radar, we look at the Adidas Evo SL ATR, new Nike ACG trail drops, and fresh updates from Mizuno. As always, we wrap up with Our Week of Training.

This week on The Long Run we’re breaking down how to bulletproof your knees — and why most knee pain actually comes from weak hips, tight ankles, and poor single-leg control rather than the knee itself. We run through the key strength moves, stability work, smart training loads, shoe choices, and recovery habits that keep your knees healthy and running stronger for longer. Plus, we sit down with Jaime Black talking all things trails and different mindsets when it comes to training in the gym. As always we finish with Our Week of Training.

This week on The Long Run - We’re diving into the science behind Simple vs Complex Carbohydrates, breaking down what carbs actually are, why your body loves them, and how to use each type for peak performance, better recovery, and avoiding the dreaded bonk. Then in Questions to the Coach, we tackle a classic debate: distance-based vs time-based training sessions — which one actually makes you faster, fitter, and less injury-prone? In Window Shopping, Christmas is coming early with daily deals and big discounts on on your running essentials. We also ask the divisive question: Can you really afford super shoes? We break down the performance gains at different paces, the surprising injury data, and why your Achilles might be paying the ultimate price. And as always, we wrap it up with Our Week of Training
