Did you break into a sweat trying to solve July’s runner code? Here it is again:

Matthew's Decoder #2018-07

How It Works

To write the letter A in this code, divide 1 by 26.2—the total miles in a marathon. Then write down the first three numbers after the decimal. If the fourth digit is 5 or larger, round up.

That means A would be: 1 / 26.2 = 0.03816793893

Divide 2 through 26 by the same amount to reveal B to Z. The complete alphabet looks like this:
