5 Running Studies That Actually Matter in 2025 (Skip the Hype)

We break down the five most important running studies of 2025 and give you a framework for deciding which science actually deserves your attention, and what's just expensive distraction. Plus, we debunk the hype around ketone supplements and Norwegian double threshold training.

What We Cover:

  • The "Should I Care" framework for evaluating new research
  • Why strict 80/20 polarization isn't magic for recreational athletes
  • How strength training improved time-to-exhaustion by 35%
  • The fueling gap: marathoners averaged just 22-35g carbs/hour vs. the 60-90g recommended
  • Why poor sleepers are 1.78x more likely to get injured
  • The single-session spike that increases injury risk by 128%

Resources:

  • Tom Ralph's fueling tracking app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fuelflow/id6755150914
  • Training Peaks
  • HRV for Training app

Studies Referenced:

  • Rosenblatt et al 2025 (Polarized Training)
  • Zanini et al 2025 (Strength Training)
  • de Jong et al 2025 (Sleep)
  • Franson et al 2025 (Injury Risk)
