@dylanbo@taggartvanetten The 10g/kg for a sub 40 minute time trial is nuts. For my 70kg body, that's 2800 Cal. But I guess that kind of effort nearly drains their glycogen stores, so they need to top up for the next day.
@aidstationfireb@colecrosby41 I run them in wide. For reference, I think Topo makes the best shaped shoes on the market - I have a wide forefoot with blocky toes and a narrowish heel. Challengers in wide have been my new England winter road runner, dirt road runner, and occasional light trail shoe for years.
@MrORuns I'm so very familiar :) my two month old is now getting 6-7 hour first sleeps! It gets better! Now I just need to learn to go to bed at 7:30 like my kids ๐.
@MelansonFinn @runsingletrack But I want to add that much of your interest in growing the sport and comparing to other big US team sports would benefit a careful examination of what it means to be a mass participation sport rather than a (nearly purely) professional sport.
@MelansonFinn @runsingletrack Trail tea, served with hot takes!
I love this and the three you've assembled for this - I'm a big fan of all. Keep it up!
