About this episode
Alex, Katelyn and Michael get out their crystal balls and peer into the future of running. But first, they discuss their holiday experiences (00:00), along with the reboot of The Marathon Project, a fascinating COVID-era event that is making its return in 2025 (16:26).
Then, they get into their predictions. Marathon Handbook's staff members each produced one bold running-related prediction for 2025. Now, they unpack theirs, explaining why truly custom running shoe technologies will finally become the norm (20:57), big changes with running races and the running scene (30:40), and whether or not the sub-two hour marathon will finally be broken on a legal course in 2025 (47:29).
