    The Running Story returns with a jam-packed week in running. Michael Doyle and Jessy Carveth break down a stunning Houston Half Marathon debut (00:45), major American and Canadian breakthroughs (02:55), and standout performances across both Houston marathons, including Sarah Hall’s incredible run at age 42 (04:10). The show then pivots to the rise of the grassroots Burrito League replacing the Chipotle Strava Challenge (06:50), Beatrice Chebet stepping away from the track in 2026 and what it means for the 5,000m and 10,000m landscape (10:15), a controversial ultra runner’s Mission America challenge and Badwater 135 bid (13:45), and record-breaking performances at the Valencia 10K in Spain (16:50). Everything runners need to know — in one weekly recap.
