Pulling straight from the DR playbook… Precision Fuel 30g gels and Science In Sport Beta Fuel 40g gels. Diet-wise, lots of smoothies and juice. I underfueled for so many years. Feel great now that I’m paying attention to it!

That’s awesome! I’m on the maple syrup and sea salt plan for most of my runs, and use precision hydration 1500 tabs and gels for longer runs and racing. Nesquik or smoothie after runs, depending whether my toddlers are napping at the moment or not :)

The Forest Service article is disturbing. Time for volunteer trail workers to step up, I guess, but what I’d really like to see is a modern version of the old CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) from the 1930s (I still use trails they built every time I run in our PA state forests).

I think the CCC also built some of the Blue Ridge Parkway if I remember correctly. I’m not too familiar with the organization, though. Time to go do some googling :)

Haha tell me about it! And this is just a fraction of what I'm consuming in a week to put this together :)

Yeah, I know. Usually I also read a bit more than just five things per week. :)
