Hi there, Welcome to this week's MarathonGuide newsletter!
This week's highlight is that the Kenyan Olympic Marathon Team has been announced - is this the best team ever?
Athletics Kenya has named the six athletes who will represent Kenya in the Marathon at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Kenya first issued preliminary lists in December 2023 (ten men and ten women) and early April 2024 (five men and six women), but following performances at the Boston and London Marathons, the final team has been set, and it is arguably the best marathon team ever sent by any country to any Olympics.

Strides are short accelerations aimed to help loosen the body up, improve muscle coordination, and overall strengthen the gait. They can be part of a warm-up to a workout, part of a cooldown, or even included during an easy run or long run. Many runners do them, but many also can get more out of them if done right.....Read the whole article here!
