How did Sabastian Sawe fuel during his 1:59:30 marathon world record?
The Maurten team has shared his fueling plan.
The Maurten research team was embedded with Sawe’s team in Kenya for 32 days across six trips between last and this April. They were training his gut to absorb that load by mimicking race-day protocol in training. The hydrogel technology they have developed over the past 10 years now allows athletes to absorb 90–120 grams of carbs per hour without GI distress. In addition to that, sodium bicarbonate is also used, essentially a blood buffer since it neutralizes the lactic acid buildup that causes the burning sensation in muscles during high-intensity effort.
Sawe used both of Maurten’s products for it on race day. Taking the bicarb early is deliberate since it peaks in the bloodstream roughly 60–90 minutes after ingestion, so the timing of 2+ hours before the race would put peak buffering capacity right at the start.
Sawe told the media in the press conference that he had two pieces of bread and tea with honey as his breakfast before the race.

These European countries contribute insane amounts of money to the EU’s yearly budget. I’m convinced that if we’d have something similar to DOGE uncovering the insane abuse of finances there, people would call for the EU’s abolishment instantly.
Having worked at the European Parliament I know first hand that tax payers money gets spent on the most ludicrous and subversive agendas, but the Eurocrats purposely made the system so complicated and they word everything so vaguely that it’s totally unclear for an outsider to understand the magnitude of the rot.
We need full transparency to Make Europe Great Again.
In this study on mice, collagen reduced depression and increased glial cell growth in the brain.
Collagen is so much more than a beauty supplement, penetrating the brain and affecting mood and cognition.
Jaguar is no longer a luxury car brand.
They just experienced the worst rebrand.
Sales dropped by 103,108 units.
Loss of $4B.
Even Elon Musk publicly mocks them.
Here is the ridiculous reason behind the rebrand (and why it's driving the internet crazy):

"How many times have they missed their audit? WAIT, THEY'VE NEVER PASSED AN AUDIT? REALLY? NEVER?" 😂😂😂
