Breaking 14 — One Last Shot at the 5K | Episode 2

How far would you go to run faster then ever before? In his early 20's, Alex Cyr, our senior editor and shoe expert, came within reach of breaking 14 minutes for 5K—until injury, loss, and setbacks derailed everything. Now, after years of surgeries, failed comebacks, and doubt, he’s taking one last shot. This is Breaking 14 — a three-part docuseries following Alex’s attempt to run the fastest 5K of his life. In Episode 2, Alex does the final hard sessions of his sub-14 training block at the Marathon Handbook's secret training cabin, grasping for last bits of fitness before traveling to Boston University and racing on the fastest indoor track in the world. Along the way, you’ll get a rare behind-the-scenes look at how elite-level training actually works—and what it really takes to run your fastest 5K.
