having kids in the next 5 years might be a tragic mistake every smart bio founder/scientist i’ve talked to seems to think embryo editing for things like short sleeper, reduced cancer risk, etc is possible on a near term horizon imagine having two kids a couple years apart, one is a super human and the other isn’t “sorry jim, little timmy won’t get cancer, only needs 4 hours of sleep and you’re normal you were just born in the wrong order 🤷🏻 “
✅RUNNERS -- I don't take any gels (carbs) when I race a Half Marathon. I didn't when I ran my PR of 1:04 and I didn't in my last Half Marathon of 1:11 last weekend (despite humid conditions). Why? Because the body usually has plenty of glycogen stores to run a good 15-16 miles (25km) full tilt on a flat road at sea level. Carbs aren't the limiting factor. Sure, I drank some electrolytes and had a few carbs in them via cups at aid stations , but there is a strong argument still that the risk of GI distress from carrying and consuming gels (and the marginal gains of consuming something like 1g CHO/kg of body weight per hour) is simply not worth it in a race as short as a half marathon....especially for faster runners. For a marathon though? Yeah for sure I take at least 4 gels and a carb loaded drink! "Glycogen sparing" is the name of the game! More evidence for my case: researchgate.net/publication/72…
This has to be the hardest, most futuristic exit of a Cybertruck owner anyone has ever seen thus far 🔥
