Beyond the Run

Does the Nike Pegasus 42 still earn its spot in the daily trainer rotation? Full breakdown of the new Air Zoom unit, updated fit, and whether $220 is still fair in 2026.

Training for your first half marathon comes down to one thing more than anything else: consistent weekly mileage built at a pace your body can absorb.
