    A Runner Brought a Baby to a Marathon, Des Linden Isn’t Slowing Down, and Where Will Harry Styles Race Next?

    Michael Doyle and Jessy Carveth break down the five most compelling stories in running this week — starting with one of the most bizarre marathon disqualifications ever, after a runner was spotted racing the Hong Kong Marathon with a baby strapped to his chest. From there, they dive into Des Linden’s jaw-dropping spring race schedule, which somehow includes the Marathon des Sables, Boston, and London — all within weeks. The episode also features a standout moment from Boston’s indoor Grand Prix, where a 60-year-old grandmother ran a mile world record, plus two more historic performances on the track. The conversation wraps with elite running politics, world record context, and a lighthearted but surprisingly thorough investigation into which marathon Harry Styles might target in 2026 — with Chicago, London, and New York all in play. Insightful, opinionated, and deeply nerdy in the best way — this is The Running Story. Planning Upcoming Tour Around Marathons?📩 Questions about training, race previews, or to send us your hot takes?
