Gerald Phiri Provisionally Suspended Amid Doping Investigation
The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) has provisionally suspended former Zambian Olympian and USATF-licensed coach Gerald Phiri as of March 17, 2025. The suspension follows a joint investigation with the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) after three athletes coached by Phiri tested positive for the banned substance GW1516.
Phiri, a decorated sprinter, built his athletic career in the UK before moving to the United States as a student-athlete at Texas A&M University. A two-time Olympian (2012, 2016), he finished fifth in the 60m at the 2014 World Indoor Championships. His personal bests include 6.52 seconds in the 60m (2014), 10.03 seconds in the 100m (2014), and 20.29 seconds in the 200m (2008).
Following his retirement from competition, Phiri transitioned into coaching and currently serves as the Director of Track and Cross Country at Montverde Academy in Florida. His suspension casts uncertainty over his future in coaching and his involvement with elite athletes. The AIU and USADA continue to investigate the case, with further details expected in the coming weeks.

Conner Mantz Prepares for Boston Marathon with Strong NYC Half Marathon Performance
Conner Mantz, the former BYU NCAA champion, continues to solidify his status among elite long-distance runners as he gears up for the 2025 Boston Marathon. His recent performance at the New York City Half Marathon on March 16, 2025, underscores his exceptional form and dedication.
Impressive Showing in New York
At the 2025 United Airlines NYC Half Marathon, Mantz delivered a remarkable performance, finishing second overall and emerging as the top American finisher. He completed the 13.1-mile course in 59 minutes and 15 seconds, averaging a pace of 4:32 per mile. This time was just six seconds behind Kenya’s Abel Kipchumba, who clinched the victory with a time of 59:09.
Notably, Mantz’s time in New York was two seconds faster than his previous American record of 59:17, set at the Houston Half Marathon in January 2025. However, due to the point-to-point nature of the NYC course, this performance does not qualify as a new record.
Strategic Preparation for Boston
Mantz’s impressive showing in New York is a strategic component of his preparation for the upcoming Boston Marathon, scheduled for April 21, 2025. Under the guidance of his coach, Ed Eyestone, Mantz has been meticulously tailoring his training regimen to peak at the right moment. In the week leading up to the NYC Half Marathon, Mantz maintained a high training volume, logging approximately 115 miles, before tapering down to around 90 miles to ensure optimal performance.
This approach underscores Mantz’s commitment to balancing rigorous training with strategic rest, a crucial factor in marathon preparation. His recent performances reflect not only his physical prowess but also a resilient mindset, essential for tackling the challenges of the Boston Marathon.
Looking Ahead
As Mantz transitions his focus to Boston, his recent accomplishments have positioned him as a formidable contender. His ability to consistently perform at a high level, coupled with a disciplined training strategy, suggests that he is well-prepared to take on the Boston course.

Stephen Kiprotich’s journey from a small village in Uganda to Olympic and World Championship marathon victories is a testament to his dedication and perseverance.
Early Life
Born on February 27, 1989, in Cheptiyal, Kapchorwa District, Uganda, Kiprotich was the youngest of seven children in a farming family. During his childhood, he faced health challenges that kept him out of school for three years. Despite these setbacks, he developed a passion for running, inspired by Uganda’s strong tradition in cross-country events.
Transition to Competitive Running
At 17, Kiprotich made a pivotal decision to pursue running seriously.

This move allowed him to refine his skills and gain valuable experience in competitive running.
Marathon Success

In the marathon event, he faced strong competition from Kenyan athletes but managed to break away in the final stages, winning gold with a time of 2:08:01. This victory marked Uganda’s first Olympic gold medal since 1972 and elevated Kiprotich to national hero status.
World Championship Victory
In 2013, Kiprotich solidified his status as one of the world’s top marathon runners by winning gold at the World Championships in Moscow with a time of 2:09:51. He became only the second person to win both the Olympic and World Championship marathons consecutively.

Boston Marathon 2025 Race Preview and Predictions - Can one of the Americans pull off an upset?
The 129th Boston Marathon is set for Monday, April 21, 2025 in just over a month, once again taking place on Patriots’ Day in Massachusetts. This year’s edition marks the first under the sponsorship of Bank of America, signaling a new chapter for the world’s oldest annual marathon. With an elite field packed with world-class runners and unpredictable spring weather, the race promises another thrilling showdown from Hopkinton to Boston.
Race Details & Course Overview
The Boston Marathon’s iconic point-to-point course spans 26.2 miles, starting in Hopkinton and ending on Boylston Street in Boston’s Copley Square. Runners will navigate rolling hills, including the challenging Newton Hills and the infamous Heartbreak Hill at mile 21. The course favors experienced runners who can manage both the early downhill sections and the later climbs.
Weather will be a key factor, as New England’s spring climate is unpredictable. Ideal conditions for runners would be cool temperatures around 45–50°F with overcast skies and a tailwind, but past races have seen everything from heatwaves to freezing rain. Early forecasts suggest favorable conditions, but as always, runners must be prepared for anything.
Men’s Elite Field
The men’s race features defending champion Sisay Lemma, who is aiming to retain his title after a dominant performance last year. Evans Chebet, the 2022 and 2023 champion, returns hungry to reclaim the crown. John Korir, fresh off a victory at the Chicago Marathon, brings world-class speed that could shake up the competition.
A strong American contingent is headlined by Conner Mantz and Clayton Young, both of whom finished in the top ten at the Olympic marathon. Mantz, in particular, has shown outstanding form, recently breaking the American half marathon record. CJ Albertson, a familiar name in Boston for his bold racing tactics, will also be in the mix, potentially pushing the early pace.
The race is expected to be tactical, with the Newton Hills playing a decisive role. If the pack remains tight through Heartbreak Hill, it could come down to a late-race battle along Boylston Street.
Women’s Elite Field
Hellen Obiri returns seeking a historic third consecutive Boston Marathon title, a feat not accomplished in over two decades. Known for her lethal finishing speed, Obiri has mastered the Boston course and will be the woman to beat.
Challenging her will be Amane Beriso, the reigning world marathon champion, and Yalemzerf Yehualaw, a former London Marathon winner with sub-2:17 speed. Sharon Lokedi, last year’s runner-up, will also be in contention, having nearly edged out Obiri in a dramatic finish.
The American field is deep, with contenders including Sara Hall, Keira D’Amato, Emma Bates, and former champion Des Linden. While breaking into the top three will be a challenge, a top-five finish is within reach for the top U.S. women.
Predictions & Final Thoughts
The men’s race is expected to be a battle between the experienced champions and rising American stars. If the race is fast from the start, runners like Korir and Lemma may have the edge. However, if it becomes a strategic affair, Mantz and Young could position themselves for a breakthrough performance.
On the women’s side, Obiri’s experience and closing speed make her the favorite, but the depth of the field suggests another closely contested race. If Beriso or Yehualaw can push the pace early, it could disrupt Obiri’s plans for a late kick.
With a historic Patriots’ Day celebration and an elite field ready to compete, the 2025 Boston Marathon is shaping up to be an unforgettable race. Whether defending champions hold their ground or new winners emerge, all eyes will be on Boylston Street this April.

Kilian Jornet is The Laid-Back Legend of the Mountains and Ultramarathons
Kilian Jornet is one of the most decorated endurance athletes in history, yet you wouldn’t know it from speaking with him. He carries his accolades with a shrug and a smile, displaying the kind of calm confidence that comes from years of pushing human limits at extreme altitudes and distances. Whether he’s setting records on towering peaks or dominating the world’s most grueling ultramarathons, Jornet approaches every challenge with an almost playful ease.
Breaking Records in the Mountains
Jornet’s list of accomplishments reads like something out of a mountaineering legend’s biography. He holds the fastest known time (FKT) for ascent and descent of some of the world’s most iconic peaks, including Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn, and Denali. His 24-hour uphill skiing record—a staggering 23,864 meters (78,312 feet) of elevation gain—stands as a testament to his extraordinary endurance.
For Jornet, mountains aren’t just a competitive arena; they are home. Growing up in the Pyrenees, he was introduced to skiing and mountain running at an early age. By his teens, he was already an elite ski mountaineer, but his ambitions stretched far beyond the competition circuit. He set his sights on redefining speed and endurance in the world’s most rugged terrains.
Dominating Ultramarathons
Beyond mountaineering, Jornet has excelled in ultramarathons, often obliterating world-class competition. His wins include victories at:
• Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB) – Arguably the most prestigious ultramarathon in the world, where Jornet has claimed multiple titles.
• Hardrock 100 – He’s won this brutally tough race in Colorado multiple times, including running it with a dislocated shoulder in 2017.
• Western States 100 – A race where his performance cemented his status among the world’s best ultrarunners.
• Zegama-Aizkorri Marathon – A mountain marathon in the Basque Country where he has thrilled fans with record-breaking runs.
Jornet’s dominance is not just about physical strength. His ability to read the mountains, understand his body, and adapt to extreme conditions gives him an almost supernatural edge.
The Mindset of a Champion
Despite his mind-blowing achievements, Jornet remains humble. When asked about his records, he often downplays them, focusing instead on the experience rather than the numbers. His approach to training is unconventional by traditional standards—he listens to his body, adapts his workouts based on how he feels, and prefers to spend as much time as possible in the mountains rather than following rigid training plans.
This laid-back mindset might seem at odds with his high-performance results, but it’s exactly what makes him great. He thrives in uncertainty, adapting in real time and trusting his instincts rather than fixating on data.
Looking Ahead
Jornet continues to push boundaries, not just in racing but in exploring human potential in extreme environments. His recent projects have included minimalist alpine expeditions and self-supported endurance challenges rather than traditional competitions. He is also an advocate for environmental sustainability, working to preserve the mountains he loves.
At 36 years old, Jornet is still redefining what’s possible in endurance sports. Whether he’s racing, breaking records, or simply enjoying a day in the mountains, he remains one of the most inspiring athletes the world has ever seen.
For those who dream of reaching their own endurance goals, there’s a lesson to be learned from Jornet: approach every challenge with passion, stay adaptable, and never lose sight of the joy that brought you to the sport in the first place.

In light of the recent increase in finishers Cantrell has hinted at making the 2025 course more challenging While specific changes have not been confirmed the goal is to restore the race’s notorious difficulty potentially reducing the number of successful completions
The Barkleys Enduring Challenge
Despite the recent surge in finishers the Barkley Marathons remains an extreme test of endurance navigation and mental fortitude Each year approximately 40 runners are selected to face the unpredictable course with the vast majority unable to complete it As the 2025 edition approaches the ultrarunning community eagerly awaits to see how the race will evolve and who if anyone will overcome its relentless challenges

The Magical Feeling of Running in Central Park, NYC
New York City is a place of hustle and movement, where the streets are alive with energy, and the skyline is iconic. But tucked within the towering buildings and endless motion lies a runner’s paradise—Central Park. For those who have had the privilege of running here, the experience is nothing short of magical.
Whether you’re an early-morning jogger, a seasoned marathoner, or someone visiting the city with running shoes packed, Central Park offers an unforgettable running experience that blends nature, history, and the sheer excitement of running in the heart of the most famous city in the world.
A Runner’s Sanctuary in the Heart of NYC
Central Park spans 843 acres in the middle of Manhattan, creating a green oasis amid the urban sprawl. With its rolling hills, shaded pathways, and scenic lake views, it’s the perfect place for runners seeking a retreat from the city’s concrete and congestion.
The park provides a welcoming and diverse running environment—a place where runners of all backgrounds and abilities come together. On any given day, you’ll see world-class athletes training for the New York City Marathon, casual runners enjoying a peaceful jog, and tourists soaking in the beauty of one of the most legendary parks on the planet.
Bob Anderson, the founder of Runner’s World and My Best Runs, has run many miles in Central Park, and it just seemed like the perfect location to marry his wife, Catherine. On New Year’s Eve 2016, they exchanged vows in a treehouse in the park, celebrating their love for each other and for this special place.
Why Running in Central Park Feels So Special
1. The Perfect Blend of Nature and City
One of the most unique aspects of running in Central Park is the ability to feel completely immersed in nature while still being surrounded by the city skyline. As you glide past tree-lined paths and shimmering ponds, you’ll catch glimpses of the skyscrapers rising above, reminding you that you’re in the heart of one of the most vibrant cities in the world.
Running in Central Park at sunrise is an experience like no other—watching the first rays of light peek through the trees and reflect off the buildings, turning the entire city golden. In the fall, the park transforms into a kaleidoscope of autumn colors, while spring brings blooming cherry blossoms and fresh greenery.
2. Iconic Running Routes
Central Park offers several legendary running routes, each with its own charm:
• The Full Loop (6.1 miles / 9.8 km) – A complete circuit of the park, featuring rolling hills, open views, and famous landmarks.
• The Reservoir Loop (1.58 miles / 2.54 km) – One of the most famous running paths in the world, circling the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir with a stunning skyline backdrop.

• The Bridle Path (4.2 miles / 6.8 km total) – A softer dirt trail, ideal for runners who want to reduce impact on their joints.
One of the most well-known sights along the running route is The Lake, which was prominently featured in the classic thriller Marathon Man (1976), starring Dustin Hoffman. While the movie is not about running, Hoffman’s character, Thomas “Babe” Levy, is frequently shown running in Central Park, using it as an outlet for stress and survival. For runners who love cinema, retracing Hoffman’s steps adds an extra layer of history to an already iconic location.
3. The Statue Honoring a Running Legend: Fred Lebow

Lebow was instrumental in turning the NYC Marathon into one of the world’s most famous races.
