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%
