Chasing Big Goals: Shalane Flanagan on Running 6 World Marathon Majors in 7 Weeks

Shalane Flanagan is on a mission to run all six World Marathon Majors. Project Eclipse is not only a personal mission to reclaim Flanagan's love for the sport of running and to bolster her mental and physical health, but also a way to inspire others to rise up in the face of their own struggles.

“Coming off a year and a half where so much was taken away from us, this once-in-a-lifetime fall marathon season gives us all such a rare opportunity for the running community to finally come together on the roads again, to feel less broken and to reclaim our bodies and minds together,” said Flanagan.

Due to COVID’s impact on race scheduling, this is the first year the six races— Berlin, London, Chicago, Boston, Tokyo and New York City— will be run over seven consecutive weeks. With travel logistics and time zone changes added to the already-daunting task of racing 26.2 miles in rapid succession, the insight Flanagan gets from weekly blood biometric analysis from the team at InsideTracker, paired with the holistic performance support she receives regularly from the industry-leading Nike Sport Research Lab, will be essential to guide her training and deliver data-driven performance strategy.
