At some point in your running life, it will hit you—wherever you turn, it will seem like everyone is talking about marathons. A lot. Your real-world and online running friends will share weekly humble brags about their long runs. People at 5Ks and 10Ks will tell you things like, “This is just a tune-up for my marathon” and “I’m training through this race.” You shouldn’t feel that way.

I couldn’t really see during one of the most interesting runs of my life. This was on a rural road near Mt. Rainier in Washington. The overcast, moonless sky provided no illumination, and there were no roadside buildings shedding light pollution. I minced tentatively for the first few minutes until my eyes adjusted enough to reliably place me in the center of the road. Then I settled in and savored moving through space with no visual cues.

If you’ve ever found yourself in the second half of a long run debating whether you should cut it short, you’re not alone. Mounting fatigue has a way of inducing that internal discussion among many runners. Making the right decision can feel tricky.

With a jaw-dropping 4:18 20th mile, Sabastian Sawe blew up the lead pack and was never challenged en route to winning the 2025 London Marathon in 2:02:27. The Kenyan bypassed the elite bottle station and surged just past the 30K mark, catching the rest of the field off guard. He sustained his push, covering the 5K between 30K and 35K in 13:56, to cement his lead and destroy his competitors’ will. Sawe’s gap at the finish line was exactly one minute.
