This week’s episode starts with a recap of Cape Town Marathon and a view towards Valencia Half Marathon. We then tackle a listener question on potential downsides of heat training. After this we cover some thoughts from Chicago Marathon, some observations on brands in the running space and finally examine some papers on circadian rhythm and performance, AI vs dietitians and probiotic use. The Doctor’s Office has some research in it too this week, before we finish off with October’s 1% Better Challenge and a quick look at Kona.
