I had a chat with @jakegyllenhaal for our first @menshealthmag digital cover about the extreme lengths he went to transform his body for ROAD HOUSE, an update to a Swayze classic dear to my heart, and I learned that he is a fellow exercise fiend, an earnest martial arts acolyte, and a serious guy who just wants a chance to cut loose and have some fun. Plz read, and DM you’re really sick and want to hear my postmodern take on the movie that didn’t make the draft 🤜🤜
When you train for a marathon, you’ll run a lot more than just 26.2 miles—so you’ll need shoes that can perform over long distance. The new Adidas Hyperboost Edge brings the fan-favorite Boost line into the modern era of performance runners, with a new formulation of light, bouncy midsole foam and a space-age design to match. Senior Editor @bdwilliams910 ran over 70 miles in the lead-up to a marathon to see if the shoe could meet the hype. Read more about his experience at the link in bio.

MH Senior Editor Brett Williams @bdwilliams910 took on the 2026 Boston Marathon, joining nearly 30,000 other runners from around the globe for one of the world’s most prestigious races. But running a Marathon Major is about more than just the 26.2 miles from start to finish. Check out Brett’s weekend recap to get an inside look at what he did leading up to race day—and how he fared on the course before crossing Boylston Street’s iconic finish line.

BOS - from the quality of that pic you can see about how it went by the end, even with a solid 3:22.2. Always thankful for opportunities and the people running has brought into my life (and being able to have the time with family too). More to come.
Tyvm @adidasrunning + @mackenzie_resewehr and the crew!
Are you recording yourself when you train? Especially if you’re training for sports or speed, you should. When senior editor @bdwilliams910 was with Ohio State’s football squad last summer, he noticed the team measuring EVERYTHING…and that helped forge a squad that may have a quartet of players go in the first round in next weekend’s NFL draft. Williams, @ebenezersamuel23 and @dr.patdavidson discuss what’s made the Buckeye program such a pro football factory in the latest episode of our #strongtalk podcast.
Where’s the coolest place you’ve ever run? Senior Editor @bdwilliams910 has his answer: The legendary Misano World Circuit track in Italy. He got to race a 5K there to test the new @diadora super shoe, the Gara Carbon 3. He broke his PR right after motorcycles zipped around the course. What does he think of the shoe? He breaks it down.
Can your running shoe flex like this? The Brooks Glycerin Flex has a funky, super-pliable sole that’s meant to move along with your foot for more natural strides. Does that actually work on the road? Senior editor @bdwilliams910 put it to the test.
Has the big January freeze got you stuck running indoors on a treadmill? Then the @pumarunning Velocity Nitro 4 just might be your fix. Senior editor @bdwilliams910 tested the daily trainer to see if it was reliable both inside and outside. Here’s what he liked (and didn’t!) — about the shoe that aims to do a little bit of everything for all kinds of runners.
6(!) years of Lielo! So thankful that in the midst of ~everything~ since the start of this decade this dog has provided love levity and a reminder that there are small good things in the day to day that should be just as important as everything else
