Toby Gualter raced to victory at the Auckland Marathon last weekend in a time of 2:15:29. Making his official marathon debut, the 25-year-old completely crushed the previous men's course record of 2:17:43, which had stood for 20 years since it was set by Dale Warrander in 2006.

Sweden's Andreas Almgren won the 2026 New York City Marathon on Sunday, 1 November delivering an historic victory in his official debut at the marathon distance. The 31-year-old clocked a spectacular time of 2:06:01, utilizing a devastating late surge inside Central Park over the final mile to pull away from Italy's Yemaneberhan Crippa. With this triumph, Almgren became the first Swedish runner in history to win the iconic race and the first European man to take the title in 30 years.

The Nike Apex worn by Andreas Almgren is Nike’s new premier "hyper shoe" designed for elite marathon racing. It’s scheduled to officially release to the general public in January 2027.

What does Norwegian-style training look like for Almgren…we outline the reported numbers. About 230 km per week, double-threshold days, tightly controlled lactate levels, sessions of 16 × 1 km intervals and heat exposure that runs year-round.
