Hating on big “fat” dudes who bench 500-600lbs only because they are “fat” is wild to me It’s the same as hating on a 150lb guy who’s doing 40-50 pull ups saying he’s able to because he’s “small” Same as hating on a skinny marathoner or ultra guy saying he’s only able to do it cause he’s “skinny” Sports (especially these ones— which are really only glorified exercising) require specific builds for the elite levels of performance It’s impressive to see what the human body is capable of across each spectrum The more you test for yourself the more you can respect each feat

For other marathoning nerds – Maurten shared Jacob Kiplimo's fueling strategy for his 2:00:28 at the London Marathon (No. 3 all-time and also under the previous world record) with me and I think it's a little different. Jacob Kiplimo's fueling protocol 6:00 a.m. — Bread (small breakfast) 7:00 a.m. — Bicarb System 15 Pre-race — Drink Mix 320 In-race plan 5K — 240ml Drink Mix 320 10K — 230ml Drink Mix 320 15K — 220ml Drink Mix 320 20K — 200ml Drink Mix 320 25K — Water + Gel Caf 100 30K — 180ml Drink Mix 320 35K — 170ml Drink Mix 320 40K — 150ml Drink Mix 320 If I'm reading these right... Sawe front-loads with a fixed 160ml of Drink Mix 320 at every station from 5K through 40K. (Plus a Gel 100 Caf 100 added at 20K on top of his regular drink) vs. Kiplimo starts higher (240ml at 5K) and carefully tapers his volume down across the race: 240, 230, 220, 200, then a full break from carbs at 25K where he takes water and a caffeine gel only, before resuming with 180, 170, and 150ml to close. His total volume per station is actually higher early on, but he's taking in less and less as the race gets harder. The other notable difference is the bicarb. Sawe takes Bicarb System 12. Kiplimo takes Bicarb System 15. What's fascinating is how dialed this is for an athlete who's also racing, covering moves and responding to surges while running so fast. As Zouhair Talbi (who ran 2:03 at Boston last week) told me, many of these Kenyan runners don't tend to nurse fluids that deliberately. So the next step would be to watch back the tape and see how much he's actually guzzling early and if this is just the target, or if he's hitting these numbers exactly. Wish someone were able to collect all the bottles and then also see/share how much was actually consumed.

At 9:05 AM CT, as DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault, an individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun, seen here.  The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted. More details on the armed struggle are forthcoming. Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots. Medics on scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject but was pronounced dead at the scene.  The suspect also had 2 magazines and no ID—this looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.    About 200 rioters arrived at the scene and began to obstruct and assault law enforcement on the scene, crowd control measures were deployed for the safety of the public and law enforcement.  This situation is evolving, and more information is forthcoming.
