693. Cheptegei: 10k WR "It is hard, but of course I am also harder." & Trust Your Thirst

Joshua Cheptegei about the 10,000-meter world record: "It is hard, but of course I am also harder."  Whatever the over/under on how many seconds Cheptegei breaks this WR is... HAMMER THE OVER, this dude just proclaimed that he is harder than a 26:17 10,000m, that’s the most gangster thing I’ve ever heard a distance runner say. https://andynoise.com/2020/10/04/3200/ If you’ve ever run a marathon, half-marathon, or any other long race, you’ve undoubtedly had a hydration plan: a detailed assessment of what you intend to drink, when you intend to drink it, and how you intend to obtain it. But a paper in tomorrow’s issue of Science may cause you to rethink exactly how you do this, suggesting that to a larger degree than people have thought, you may be able to trust your sense of thirst to tell you when you are and aren’t getting enough fluids.  Not all that long ago, runners were told that thirst was a “slow” reflex that lagged well behind the body’s actual needs. But it actually appears to be exquisitely sensitive, integrating an amazing amount of information in real time, says Christopher Zimmerman, a neuroscientist at Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, who won the Science magazine’s 2020 Eppendorf prize for his work in the field. https://www.patreon.com/posts/not-onl...
