3:42.66 ‼️‼️‼️
THE WORLD RECORD IS NO MORE. Josh Kerr 🇬🇧 delivers on the hype of Project 222 as he takes down Hicham El Guerrouj’s 1999 world record in the mile, running 3:42.66 to become the first man in history under 3:43.
Kerr called his shot and thrilled a roaring home crowd, pulling away from runner-up Yared Nuguse over the final lap to make history.
With our July issue around the corner, sharing our 2nd reflection in a series on being on the “other side of the bed”.
We are all human. It’s important for us share in vulnerability 🙏🏽 please let us know if you would like to share too. @JCardFail

This photo was taken during a VO₂max test when I was a young competitive cyclist and a physiology student at Colorado State University.
My VO₂max was 76.7 mL·kg⁻¹·min⁻¹ 🤘😊
Back then, VO₂max was the number. The holy grail of endurance performance.
But something didn’t add up. With such a high a VO₂max, I should have made it to the Tour de France... Clearly, there was another layer that VO₂max and physiology back then couldn’t explain.
That question changed my life. It led me to follow the work of Dr. George Brooks and into the fascinating world of lactate metabolism, muscle bioenergetics, mitochondrial function, pyruvate oxidation and metabolic flexibility…
32 years later, my questions are no longer about how much oxygen the body can consume, but about muscle bioenergetics and metabolic equilibrium. I’ve been incredibly fortunate to contribute to this field and to have worked alongside my longtime scientific idol, Dr. Brooks.
Ironically, VO₂max has recently re-emerged as one of the hottest topics in health and longevity.
But after spending 3 decades studying metabolism in sports performance and disease, I’ve come to see VO₂max not as the destination, but as the beginning of the story.
The real story starts inside the cell, inside mitochondria…
La ONPE ha llegado al 100% de las actas escrutadas. Ya han sido resueltas todas las observaciones por parte de los JEE. Esperamos la proclamación del JNE con mucha humildad, prudencia y responsabilidad. Cada vez estamos más cerca de iniciar un camino de orden y esperanza para todos los peruanos.
Hoy tuve una emotiva llamada con María Corina Machado, premio Nobel de la Paz por su admirable lucha en la defensa de la libertad y la democracia en Venezuela. La historia nos da poderosas lecciones de los caminos que hay que seguir y aquellos que hay que evitar, como lo que sucedió con la Venezuela de Chávez y Maduro.
El de Chávez fue un modelo que llegó prometiendo prosperidad para todo el pueblo y terminó repartiendo miseria, inseguridad y expulso a millones de venezolanos de su propio país.
En nuestro país, este 7 de junio tenemos la oportunidad y la responsabilidad de defender nuestra democracia, nuestra prosperidad y el futuro de nuestros hijos frente a quienes, disfrazados de demócratas, quieren arrebatarnos todo.
El camino de Keiko Fujimori es el testimonio vivo de una resiliencia inquebrantable. Soportar prisiones arbitrarias, injusticias judiciales, insultos y un estigma feroz contra ella y su familia no la quebró. Tres derrotas electorales y lágrimas no fueron el fin, sino la fragua de

19 out of 20 horses in this year’s Kentucky Derby are descendants of Secretariat, the Greatest race horse that ever lived.
Post mortem of Secretariat after he passed revealed he had the largest heart of any horse— in history.
HELLO AGAIN! 👋
Allyson Felix, the most decorated female track and field athlete in Olympic history, tells TIME that she is coming out of retirement to pursue a spot at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics at age 42.
Her goal is to qualify for the Olympic Trials and make the relay pool. She last competed at the 2022 World Championships in Eugene, Oregon.
According to TIME, Felix pitched the idea to her brother and business partner Wes last June with a formal presentation titled "Project Six" as a reference to her attempt to make a sixth Olympic Games.
A full training schedule is set to begin in October under longtime coach Bobby Kersee.
She expects to return to competition sometime in 2027. She doesn't expect to compete regularly on the global circuit in an effort to try and stay close to her two children (7-year-old daughter Camryn and two-year-old son Trey).
Des Linden has been pretty busy this April.
On Sunday, Linden averaged 7:02 per mile to run 3:04:24 at the London Marathon while pacing a friend, capping off a total of 220 miles of racing this month. Six days prior, she ran 2:35:49 to finish 30th in the women's division at the Boston Marathon, and a week before Marathon Monday, Linden completed the six-stage, 168-mile Marathon des Sables through the Sahara Desert.

Reminder that Sabastian Sawe's sponsor adidas spent $50,000 for him to be drug-tested out of competition as much as possible in 2025 and are doing the same thing in 2026.
Today in London, he became the first man to break 2:00 in an official marathon.

OMG.
🇰🇪 Sabastian Sawe becomes the first man ever to break 2 hours in a marathon (legal conditions) in 1:59:30 at the London Marathon!
Yomif Kejelcha 🇪🇹 runs 1:59:41 in his DEBUT.
Jacob Kiplimo 🇺🇬 takes third in 2:00:28
All under the previous WR.
