The 2026 Chicago Marathon almost matched the hype. Amos Kipruto stunned Jacob Kiplimo, winning in 2:01:09 as the favored Kiplimo blew up to 2:04:18. On the women's side, Hawi Feysa dropped a five-minute final mile to outkick Sharon Lokedi and defend her title, while Emma Grace Hurley ran the fastest American marathon debut in history. Both winners wore adidas, raising the question are we in a shoe arms race? Vinny Mauri captivated the field, surging away from the American pack on sub-2:04 pace before a mysterious lower-leg issue forced him to stop multiple times. He still ran 2:06:45. Clayton Young, running on a torn hamstring, emerged as top American in 2:05:23, one of four U.S. men including Galen Rupp under 2:07.

Emma Grace Hurley says this workout scares her more than race day. We followed her through one of the key sessions of her build for the 2026 Chicago Marathon on Oct. 11, which will be her marathon debut. The session: a 15-minute warmup, 35 minutes at half marathon effort, a 5-minute jog, then 35 minutes at marathon effort, all in the biggest training week of her life. She called it probably the best marathon workout she's ever run. Coach Andrew Begley explains the five-year plan behind it. Since filming, she ran 1:06:23 to finish fifth at the World Road Running Championships in Copenhagen and helped Team USA win its first-ever women's team medal at the half marathon. 🎥 Presented in partnership with Suunto. Emma Grace trains with the Suunto Run 2.

A great talk with Emma Grace Hurley on how she went from being someone who was only 51st at NCAAs and have given up the sport competitively to 5th at the World Half Marathon Championships before her Chicago Marathon debut.

“I haven’t really taken the time to appreciate it yet. I think if you had told me on the front end that was going to happen, I would have been floored. But now I’m just like, okay, I gotta refocus on marathon training.” My guest for today’s episode is Emma Grace Hurley and since we last had her on in May, a lot has happened. She went to Copenhagen last weekend and finished fifth at the World Athletics Road Running Championships in a personal best of 1:06:23, an American record for an all-women’s race. She also helped the United States women’s team claim the silver medal — a result that, going into the day, wasn’t even on anyone’s radar. The team went 5th, 6th, and 7th with her, Weini Kelati, and Jess McClain all finishing within 30 seconds of each other, and the photo of the three of them at the finish is one of those American women’s distance running moments that we want to blow up into a poster. In 19 days, she runs the Chicago Marathon for her debut at the distance. So there was no easing into the post-Copenhagen glow, no week off, no victory lap. She got home, got drug tested, and went back to training. Emma Grace is an ASICS athlete who trains under Andrew and Amy Begley at Heartland Track Club in Indianapolis. She came into this season as the American record holder at 8K, won the USATF 10-Mile title at Cherry Blossom, and finished second at the USATF 5K Championships in her own city. The Copenhagen team silver was the chapter that closed out the Atlanta misdirection story from March, where she was one of the three athletes who was sent off course in the closing mile of the US half marathon championships and ultimately earned her spot in Copenhagen through the special exception World Athletics granted. Discussed in this episode: – Copenhagen hasn’t settled in yet – Why Chicago – The two-marathon plan before the Olympic Trials – Coach Andrew Begley’s training philosophy – The Jenny Simpson’s quote that she carries – The heat disruption in Indiana this Summer – What the Mini 10K taught her – What Falmouth taught her – The Copenhagen race plan — and where it went sideways – The photo at the finish line with Jess McClain – American women’s distance depth – The Copenhagen post-race chaos – Andrew’s assessment post-race – The women’s-only record bonus – What she doesn’t know she doesn’t know – How to cheer for her in Chicago – Why she’s a little sad marathon training is almost over ____________ Take this interview on-the-go in podcast form ⬇️ SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1NIFGCmE4bfbmVHQr4qPsQ?si=6ARYLccMQmSQ1f7Oe07RDg APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/emma-grace-hurley-after-5th-place-at-the-world-road/id1204506559?i=1000791194178 ____________ SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS OLIPOP: OLIPOP's Citrus Rush packs apple, lemon, lime, and orange juices with 60mg of green tea caffeine for a bold, refreshing blast of flavor ready to fuel your next adventure.

The 2026 US Half Marathon Championships were a disaster. Check out COROS for super accurate data. I use the COROS Pace 4 and arm HR monitor: https://noxl.ink/h-nIrw I raced the us half champs, and it went in a direction I never could have seen coming. Just after mile 12, Jess McClain, Emma Grace Hurley, and Ednah Kurgat (who had about a 45sec lead on 4th place) were led off course by the official lead vehicle. They were not directed back on course until they had run over 400m off course. At that point, they turned around and got back on the course, but they had lost valuable time and ended up missing out on the US team spots and prize money that they were likely going to win. This is a complete disaster, and it's incredibly unfair to the athletes. Something needs to be done to rectify the situation. #AllieOstrander #HalfMarathon #USHalfChamps Roxborough Running Series: https://secure.getmeregistered.com/register.php?event_id=141592&c=102434_733760&mask=102433_102432 Oiselle apparel & MY LINE of clothing (!!): Oiselle.com Check out Shokz headphones: https://sdqk.shokz.com/Allie/voXXrc35...
