Summing Up the Summer: From High Altitude to Great North Blisters, Our Summer Review

Welcome to Week 4 of our Leaves, Laces & Long Runs series where we are looking ahead to Nairobi hosting the World Championships. Sitting at a lung-burning altitude, it begs the ultimate question: is Thommo a genetic 'Super Responder' to thin air, or just really good at gasping for breath? We dive deep into the real value of altitude training and serve up some crucial, last-minute marathon tips for your next big race. Plus, we tackle the big debates from the Ultimate Championships. Was it weakened by missing events? Was the black grass a success or a weird miss? From Klaudia Kazimierska’s meteoric rise to Eilish McColgan battling brutal blisters at the Great North Run, we review the absolute best stories of the summer. Oh, and the moment you’ve all been waiting for: has Thommo finally faced his fears and stepped into the ice bath?! 🥶 PLUS: The code for immufix.com is PAULA40 for 40% off your first 3 months.
