Day 37 of Season 262, covering 6 May, is the quietest since the pre-Kazan buildup. Twenty-eight verified runs produce 198.8 km across four virtual races — the lowest single-day total yet in May — and the field distributes itself without concentrating in any single format. The relative stillness is partly a natural rhythm following a marathon-distance surge, and partly a reflection of how many athletes have already resolved their short-window obligations. Four days remain before Mistake and Historic 1945 close on 10 May.
Ilya Muzurov makes the day’s most consequential move. He logs 21.2 km in Historic 1945 — the race requires a minimum of 9 km in one verified run — reaching 236% of the target in a single session. Muzurov’s Mistake account already stands at 54.5 km (109%), placing him first among men in that race. His shift to Historic 1945 follows the season pattern of methodical format expansion: complete the nearest deadline, then redirect volume toward the next available window. The 21.2 km puts him third in the Historic 1945 men’s standings, behind Vitaliy Soldatov (21.4 km, finished 4 May) and Dmitriy Bulatov (21.3 km, finished 5 May).
Maksim Danilov runs 13 km in Streets with a note that gestures toward something outside the virtual calendar: “GPS is lying outrageously! … 10 days to the Sadovoe Koltso relay, goal: break 70 minutes.” The annotation is the most explicitly goal-oriented text in the day’s data — Danilov is using the Streets window as preparation for a real-world relay race and tracking his progress against a specific time target. At 104 km cumulative in Nairobi (fifth in the men’s standings) and now 13 km into Streets, Danilov carries one of the broader cross-format footprints in Season 262.
Miroslav Gordykh works through three structured sessions in Streets: a self-described “jog before the run, to be ready for the run” opener, 30 minutes at pulse 120, and 4 intervals of 800/400. Filed as separate log entries, the sequence describes a disciplined training architecture — and contrasts directly with the 24 km long run Gordykh completed in the same race 24 hours earlier. Streets is becoming his most active format for the week, and the variety within his log entries signals an athlete who categorises training types with precision.
Mistake generates 29.3 km from four athletes. Konstantin Surganov adds 8 km (“8 km at a calm pace”) to a slot that has long since crossed 100%; Elena Dubinina logs 9 km, continuing to build from the women’s mid-table. At the top of the women’s standings, Elena Myazina holds 59.6 km (119%), Svetlana Serebryannikova 52.7 km (105%), and Margarita Pochekutova 47.7 km (95%) — the last of the three needing another 2–3 km to seal a slot she has been working since the season opened.
Nairobi anchors the day’s volume at 97.8 km across 15 sessions. Aleksey Sherihov leads with 16.1 km, followed by Aleksandr Rahmetov at 11.4 km, Vladislav Kokorin at 10.8 km, and Vyacheslav Krymskiy at 10.6 km — four athletes whose steady accumulation has defined the race’s shape since mid-April. No single session on 6 May reshapes the Nairobi leaderboard; the day adds layers to existing positions rather than creating new ones.
Day 37 closes at 198.8 km with four days left in the deadline window. Mistake’s women’s field is within closing distance on its tightest position; Historic 1945 now has three athletes past 200% of the 9 km target and Simon recently on the board from a single session. Streets and Nairobi continue on their longer timelines, absorbing consistent weekly effort from athletes whose obligations to the shorter-window races are either met or nearly so. The full field will return tomorrow.
