Summary

Our watches gave us some harsh (but necessary) feedback before this amazing episode! The main science topics were quick hitter studies on massive one-time Vitamin D intake, short-term heat acclimation protocols, and sodium bicarb. If you combine all of the protocols at once, that’s what we call a PARTY.

We also talked about the World Trail Champs, which saw the highest-scored performances of all time. Our discussion included a hot take on course choices that is probably wrong and please don’t tell anyone we said it.

And this one was full of great topics! Other topics: the total domination of the sleepwithmegan25 code, training readiness scores in a time of teething, our reactions to comments on the documentary “Nothing to Lose,” why Nomio is the supplement sweeping Europe, the improbable win at the women’s cycling World Champs, and Strava’s IPO announcement, plus a Q+A on the high-carb life, the mountain legs strength routine, long-term heat training, time equivalents for cross training, training principles for less fast runners, and self-talk.

Yes, David brutally mangled a 50 Cent reference, proceeding to call back the mistaken reference multiple times. To be fair, David has never been in da club in his whole life. But he has been in da candy shop.

We love you all! HUZZAH!

0:06.1	And I'm feeling the taste of sweet victory on this Tuesday. Oh, yeah. You really whooped my ass, Megan. Do you know what I'm talking about? I do. So last week, we did promo codes for the Dreamshot on the feed. I think they're still active.
0:17.5	You can try them out if you want.
0:18.5	But sleep with Megan 25 for 25% off or sleep with David 25 for 25% off.
0:23.3	And we push the sleep with David 25 so much harder. Actually, you pushed it hard. I did basically nothing besides show up on the podcast and say a sentence. Meanwhile, you did an Instagram post, Patreon post, a Strava post. You tried real hard. I tried real hard. And maybe this is like high school and like college because no one wants to sleep with David. No, there's, I think there's a population.
0:41.3	No, Meg. Strava Post, you tried real hard. I tried real hard. And maybe this is like high school and like college,
0:37.9	because no one wants to sleep with David. No, I think there's a population. No, Megan, with 96% of precincts reporting, got the data from the feed at the end of last week. It was 72% Megan. That's a whoopin. That is a whoopin. I think it's an upset, though. Wait, what are you talking about? of course everyone loves you and thinks I'm just the guy on the side.

0:57.1	It is an upset.
0:57.8	I feel like it's an upset, though. Wait, what are you talking about? Of course everyone loves you and thinks I'm just the guy on the side.
0:55.8	No, that is not true.
0:57.1	It is an upset.
1:08.3	I feel like it's for sure an upset. I'm like, where I have to figure out like where these numbers are coming from. Bullshit. You can't say 72% is an upset. In my mind, I thought I was going to lose this by like a lance. Oh, my God.
1:12.1	You're just one of those effortlessly perfect people in high school.
1:13.0	Not true. I'm a kid in the corner that nobody wants.
1:14.5	It's not true. like a lancet. Oh my God. You're just one of those effortlessly perfect people in high school.
1:12.3	Not true. I'm the kid in the corner that nobody wants. Not true. I want to see the actual data. I'm like, how many codes were my mom? How many codes are women who are just like, we're going to support women? How many codes were just people like, she's good at crewing at aid stations. Yeah, well, maybe they're looking at your quick hands.
1:27.7	I know.
1:28.2	At the aid stations in the documentary.
1:29.5	Look at her give him gels.
1:30.9	But on the flip, just people like she's good at crewing at aid stations. Yeah, well, maybe they're looking at your quick hands.
