Summary
Super shoes, extreme in race carb consumption, and doping was a big topic in the running news the past week. We saw both Sebastian Sawe and Yomif Kejelcha go under 2 hours for the first time in a sanctioned event. Much of the conversation around these performances were centered around innovations in shoe technology, carbohydrate fueling strategies, and doping suspicion.

| 0:00.0 | Thanks for tuning into this episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast with Zach Bitter. |
| 0:10.6 | All right, everyone. |
| 0:11.7 | Welcome back to another episode. |
| 0:13.2 | I am going to start doing an episode where I just do some current event type stuff, |
| 0:18.3 | some topics that are floating around the running world |
| 0:20.8 | that are interesting to me and I'm going to aim to do these fairly frequently. |
| 0:26.4 | So I think it'll be a fun add to the podcast, one that will be a little bit more off the cuff |
| 0:32.2 | at times because a lot of that information will be new and fresh, so almost kind of like a first |
| 0:36.8 | pass at it i've also |
| 0:38.5 | been thinking about ways to maybe engage the listeners a little bit more with different stuff so |

| 1:10.6 | highlight some of these topics in a little bit of a better way so maybe that's to come we'll see if |
| 1:15.6 | that's something you'd be interested in if you're listening to this and be like hey I'd love to |
| 1:18.5 | hop on a call with Zach and chat for a bit about a topic of interest when it comes up I'd like |
| 1:24.9 | to get on a list then let me know know. I'll start kind of getting that stuff |
| 1:28.3 | organized and maybe we can move to that direction a little bit quicker if people are thinking |
| 1:32.7 | that's something that they would like to participate in. But for this week, there is a topic |
| 1:38.8 | that I wanted to dive into a little bit, which is, I think, still relatively new, but maybe not as new as it would |
