Michael Doyle and Jessy Carveth are back in the saddle after a two-week World Marathon Majors tour through Boston and London and ready to cover this week's top five stories from the world of running.
An 11-year-old from Indiana ran a 1:20 half marathon and broke the internet doing it. Sprinter Abby Steiner is suing Puma and Mercedes-Benz Grand Prix, blaming carbon-plated spikes for the injuries that derailed her career. While everyone was watching London, a 25-year-old nobody named Vinny Mauri quietly ran the fastest U.S. marathon debut ever: a 2:05:54 in Toledo. Cocodona 250 is underway in Arizona, so we preview Courtney Dauwalter's shot at redemption (plus an unexpected headliner: Randy Zuckerberg). And the numbers are in: Brooks just had its best quarter ever, and it's not even close.
