There is a local connection in IndyCar racing this year. Jacob Abell from Louisville is racing his rookie season with Dale Coyle racing.

I think we all knew what was going to happen. Big money grab for Tyson. Good for him. But I think we were all hoping for Tyson to go against what was scripted and drop him.

Anyone having trouble with the Livestream?

I can't really speak regarding the marathon because my knowledge of that event is minimal at best, but I'd venture to say the reason they put the 100m before the 200m and 400m is that it is the most physically intense event for the nervous system and muscles. Meaning they will typically reach higher speeds in the 100 compared to the 200. Those higher speeds put the body at a greater risk for injury so you want to be as "fresh" as possible entering it. Same reason the 40-yard dash is performed before the positional workouts at the NFL Combine and Pro Days.

That is becoming a more popular and easy to follow way to control portions. It was popularized by Precision Nutrition Protein: 1 serving = Open Palm Carbs: 1 serving = Cupped Palm Veggies: 1 serving = Fistful Fats: 1 serving = Thumb sized You manipulate the number of servings based on Male/Female and desired goals. That is a solid, simple (not complicated - the work will be challenging) progression for training. If you stick with that you will absolutely see results. I hope you stick with it and keep everyone updated with your progress.

There is a lot of scientifically based evidence that counters much of what is layed out in "Gamechangers". This guy is an advocate for eating a well-rounded diet, with whole food coming from all sources. It is not hard to find evidence to support your viewpoint or biases. No matter the subject.

This is the part that I think a lot of people don't realize happens, particularly the feeling better part. There is quite a bit of research on the cognitive benefits of eating a "healthy", "clean" (or whatever you want to call it) diet. You think more clearly, have improved memory, recall ability, etc. Many common physical ailments up and disappear when you center your diet around whole foods (plant based or not). Full disclosure, I'm primarily meat based with my foods.

This is the way for most folks.

Sugars, refined carbs, seed oils. If people limited these things they'd see a drastic improvement in blood markers and body composition. Most people don't, however.

And those animals also eat an amount unachievable by humans. Gorillas eat upwards of 40lbs of plants each day.
