BONUS: Western States 100 Time Predictions, Microbiome and Performance, and Hydration Science

This week, we are bringing our BONUS Patreon episode to everyone to highlight some sexy science! Megan was just named the Western States Research Co-Director, and our celebration is to bring you some research updates in hot-tub conversation format. We start with reviewing two fascinating talks at the medical conference on hyponatremia/hydration and how the gut microbiome may influence performance and health. Then, we examine some BREAKING NEWS SCIENCE from Dr. Marshall Burke on how heat impacts performance, and what that means for time predictions for this year's race. If you want to have access to these weekly bonus episodes (plus a newsletter, fun videos, and more!), subscribe to our Patreon: patreon.com/swap We love you all! HUZZAH!
