How all this craziness affects Pro Athletes

So now we are seeing races for 2021 canceled - Big Sur Marathon canceled until at least 2022.  I am thinking some of this comes from the uncertainty states have with their rules and people are now fearful of promoting races they have to spend money on then may have to cancel or postpone and people then want refunds.

Some tips for running in the heat

Once again an article that conflates Keto and LCHF.  While Keto is LCHF, LCHF is not necessarily Keto.  Also, this does not deal with the fact that most who race that are LCHF use carbs, to some extent, to race as the goal is metabolic flexibility.  These study's also fall short as usual, by testing at shorter distances. Also, as is alluded to the move to LCHF is not only done as a boost to endurance performances but for ones overall health which should be the most important.
