Today, Rachel shares her progress on finding a running group in San Francisco, Karen updates us on her race plans (which includes dropping down to a mile in July), and Megan updates us on returning to running postpartum.

We unpack our thoughts on the 2028 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials standard and some of our plans on trying to qualify. We also share our thoughts on former Notre Dame teammate Susanna Sullivan qualifying for the World Championships Marathon this fall as well as Jess McClain finally earning a spot on Team USA after so many close calls.

We also get into our recent product recs and our excitement ahead of Faith Kipyegon’s attempt to break four minutes in the mile.

Plus: debating what an actual stride is, how often and when to do them, and if it’s called a “stride” or “strider.”
