Bluegrass Endurance and Nutrition: The Bluegrass Endurance and Nutrition Rundown #2

There will will be more videos than usual but there was some great racing at last weekend's Diamond League Final (aka - Pre- Classic) but first from some other happenings:

I have shared some of Colby's podcast before but this is a very good with Peter Defty of Vespa that touches on many areas. One great thing with Colby is he does look at things very holistically which allows for the conversation to cover many areas: Peter Defty: The Intuitive Athlete - Ep 115 Part 1

While Eliud Kipchoge did not get a WR or go under 2 hours you can't say he did not go for it and runs a 2:02:42. Also, what a time in the women's race as Tigst Assafa smashes - yes smashes - the Women's WR by 2:11 in running a 2:11:53 marathon. Not a good day for the American men as Scott Fauble DNF'd and Jarred Ward ran 2:11:44, his fastest time in 4 years. Here is the LetsRun.com review of the races. This is the last 1K of the men's race and the last 600M of the women's race. Here is a replay of the entire race.

UTMB might have been 3 weeks ago but was a great race where Jim Walmsley finally got the win he has been working so had for, Zach Miller was in a close second. Then Courtney Dauwalter won the women's race to cap of an incredible summer with wins also at Western States and Hardrock

If you want some good info on bike fitting - warning he does go against the grain, I think rightly, in some areas that people just take as the way to fit bikes - check out Steve Hogg's site. I have shared Colby Pierce's info (Cycling in Alignment Podcast) and also videos from Neill Stanbury (Bike Fit Series) and both are connected with Steve Hogg.

While this is not directly realted to running or riding the topics covered are important to being healthy and being healthy is critical to performance - well lifelong performance. Here are a couple YouTube Podcasts with Dr. Jack Kruse podcast I found - Circadian Biology, Melanin, & How to Heal your Mitochondria then this one that piggy backs onto the two parter I shared before - beware this can be pretty deep stuff but stick with it as it is important - Anti-Aging Scientist Wrong?
