In the running to become one of the next World Marathon Majorb. 24,000 runnersc. Race starts at 6:15AM, runners were notified at 5AM that it was cancelled - due to high winds.https://www.runnersworld.com/news/a69084651/cape-town-marathon-canceled-2025/2. The very hungry caterpillar claims the world record in the Manchester half marathon.a. time 1 hour, 14 minutes and 10 seconds. An extremely respectable time.b. the former WR was 1 hour 41 minutes and 37 seconds, and also did it as a caterpillar. https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/friends-caterpillar-suit-claim-world-145550350.html?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9iYXpxdXguY29tLw&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAFbsfNMbOUuhArNTlMrThoIyB3WkO4jCuSTE8tYzzS0XELtPuCEGUdPDT9lHkDFVvRRKUP6qfLP2GQoDfzxzs0EV8EygRPjXQdGbyjHhZzFeHAn5NkyKJPwMko-DRpU9lDBT78X96St69fVZt5anfOgEfMNTq12E7fBF1I64BGq3&guccounter=23. Headline - "California governor candidate suggests women could compete against men in track at the 2028 LA Olympics."a. Betty Yee (the candidate) was on Piers Morgan's show when she gave that opinion (sort of). b. She kind of got bullied into that position.https://www.letsrun.com/news/2025/10/california-governor-candidate-suggests-women-could-compete-against-men-in-track-at-2028-la-olympics/https://x.com/PiersUncensored/status/19781925860253412844. Headline - "Having a baby takes more energy than running marathons for 9 months straight."a. Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body burns to perform its most basic, life sustaining functions while at rest. b. How much above your BMR can you sustain? Based on a 2019 Duke University study - The ceiling was found to be approximately 2.5 times your BMR. Meaning your body cannot digest and absorb enough calories to fuel a level above 2.5 times your BMR. If you are above that level your body will have to burn its own fat and muscle stores, which would not be sustainable long term. c. The study also found "that over the course of a nine-month pregnancy, a women's body operates at an average of 2.2 times her BMR every day for 270 days. d. During a marathon a runner may be operating at 15.6 times their BMR but only for a short period of time. e. A subsequent study, published in Science in May of 2024, calculated the total energy cost of a full term pregnancy to be approximately 49,753 dietary calories - that is equivalent to 30 full marathons over that40 week period. https://www.therunningweek.com/post/growing-a-baby-takes-more-energy-than-running-marathons-for-9-months-straighthttps://www.calculator.net/bmr-calculator.html?cage=63&csex=m&cheightfeet=6&cheightinch=0&cpound=148&cheightmeter=180&ckg=60&cmop=0&coutunit=c&cformula=m&cfatpct=20&ctype=standard&x=Calculate5.

Headline - 2026 World Indoors unveils its Goose Mascot - He/She needs a name. Ideas"a. A few I saw: - Yared New Goose. - The big Honers - there were 2 gooses - the first we named Fred Kerley, but he got into an altercation with the second goose before we could name it.

Importantly, individuals with hereditary cancer syndromes or inflammatory bowel disease were excluded to isolate the potential impact of endurance exercise alone.The findings were striking:15% of participants had advanced adenomas (pre-cancerous lesions), compared to the expected 1–2% in average-risk individuals in this age range.41% of participants had at least one adenoma.The average age of participants was 42.5 years old – two and a half years below the recommended age for a first screening colonoscopy.5.

Ingerbrigtsen in court - crazy story of family abuse by father who pushed his children to be the best.Over four hours of testimony, Jakob detailed how he had been punched and kicked by his father when he was at primary school and been threatened with being beaten to death, and outlined multiple other incidents which he said had left him emotionally damaged.Jakob told the court that he and his brothers had finally decided that enough was enough in 2022, when Ingrid was hit in the face with a wet towel, leaving a red mark, because she did not want to go for a run. It was at that point they split from their father and coach and told their story to the Norwegian newspaper VG. Gjert, who faces up to six years in prison if convicted, has denied any allegation of violence. https://www.thetimes.com/article/2907767e-cac0-4aca-beab-14af05f09e14?shareToken=61f3f99a825d29efe0573d714eb0d72ehttps://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/mar/25/jakob-ingebrigtsen-tells-court-of-fear-and-control-in-testimony-against-father3.

Can you Improve your running by running less?a. Dry training (exercises/lifting):- Plyometrics jumps (box jumps or no box)- Deadlifts (hamstrings) - Bulgarian Split squatsb. Intermittent Hypoxia training (forcing your body to use oxygen more efficiently)- breathing in at a reduced rate (in 3 steps or 4 steps) for short stints- Breathing techniques at home - Breath through nose during parts of runsc. Invisible training - Sleeping is critical to recovery- Strategic nutrition before training (carbs and hydration)- Active recovery and massages (foam roller. walk and cycle on off days). d. Train like the Kenyains - extremely slow runs (builds cardio base).- running technique - being more efficient / high cadence- run in groupshttps://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/FMfcgzQZTgRNCKXCvtgCGfCZFGSTQdvg?compose=jrjtXMmZQwxLtxFqllfjFwWRQVxKnPWgJDwdhdrzgnzKJTzJsTbkcfkbXbhWCNRkSMQJHxfq5. Why WR are falling (a March 9, 2025 video) - His youtube video captures a lot of what we talked about on prior episodes but puts it all together nicely. You can decide if it's worth bringing up. 1. Super Shoes and Super Spikes2. Track - new tech is adding energy return (2%) from just a few years ago (per the manufacturer). 3. WR lights on the track (we mentioned last week). 4. BiCarb and other legal supplements (Beets and Broccoli Sprouts extracts and Caffeine supplements). 5. Pushing WR indoors is more of a NEW phenomena.6. More scientific and dialed in training techniques (Lactic acid testing....etc) - preventing injury. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YoorDjE7-I
