🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 Mantz has taken down the AR, even Ryan Hall’s sub-2:05– now he’s on to the world stage. It’s a great day for America.

Defending champion John Korir will be sticking with the 60:30 targeted first half split with his pacers. He’s said the goal is to try and break 2:01:00. Only world record holder Kelvin Kiptum (2:00:35 WR) has broken 2:01:00. #ChicagoMarathon

CONFIRMED: Conner Mantz’s pacer for tomorrow’s Chicago Marathon has been assigned to take the group through the halfway point in 62:00. That’s 2:04:00 marathon pace. The American record is 2:05:38 by Khalid Khannouchi in 2002. The attack on the American record is on! 🇺🇸

Just now: The @TexasGOP SREC votes not to concur with the censure resolution against @Burrows4TX. #txlege All censure votes require 3/5 support, or 38 votes, there were 38 against.

Likely GOP Primary voters think their GOP state legislators should prioritize passing conservative legislation, even if that means sometimes NOT fighting Democrats and the left as aggressively as possible, by a margin of >2:1 (59.9% to 28.7%).

Republicans who live in districts with GOP State Reps would re-elect their incumbents rather than vote against them by a 3:1 margin.

As the @TexasGOP debates whether to censure Republican State Legislators, a new statewide survey of over 1,000 voters from Hunt Research shows that 75.9% of likely Republican Primary voters approve of Republican Texas State Legislators.

Nutrition used to be a fringe issue that only granola-grazing hippies or right-wing gymbros cared about. Not any more. Since RFK and 2024, healthy diet has gone mainstream, and Texans of every party and walk of life are increasingly willing to see State government step in.

Conner Mantz’ training plan:

If your pre-9AM drink looks like this, it’s been a fun morning one way or another: #whiskeyorketones? #jackdaniels or Jack Daniels?

New poll from @Ross_Hunt: Texans of all political stripes want healthier food in schools and hospitals. ✅ 80%+ support using surplus funds for local TX-grown food in schools 🚫 56% say hospitals shouldn’t serve ultra-processed junk https://t.co/kI7j4ZNSU8 #txlege #MAHA

Kilian Jornet has finished his U.S. States of Elevation project & the stats are staggering: 31 days, 72 summits, 3,197 miles, & 403,690 feet of elevation gain. A huge congrats to Jornet:

Why did young people for Trump? Because “The left is so focused on systemic and structural issues that they are essentially allergic to agency and personal development .”

This is the harvest of cancel culture—the stunted pace of idea generation and debate across the entire liberal ecosystem. And, by the way, you could make the same graphic for comedy.

Or is there some genetic mechanism for the interference, e.g., AMPK/ mTOR signaling, or some neurological mechanism? The practical question, I guess, is this: “Is there a single category of aerobic training that will actively make you a worse anaerobic athlete, or vice versa?”

Does this all have to do with metabolism of lactate? E.g., do high volumes of LT training, like mile repeats or 10-30 minute T runs, suppress the ability to go hard at 200-800m distances, and vice versa, bc of different adaptations to lactate metabolism?

This is a live question for me as I train for a faster mile (target 4:42 @ 40 years old). Surely pure speed & aerobic capacity are not the interesting elements, bc we know strides conduce to higher aerobic fitness, and all elite runners have high speed reserve.

What did 🇺🇸 Cole Hocker do after getting DQ’d from the 1500m at the World Championships? Yes, he was crushed and pissed off but instead of doomscrolling in the comments sections on social media, he deleted Instagram… then watched hours of American and presidential history

Really cool photo from the rain-soaked Men's 4x400 final at the @WorldAthletics Championships in Tokyo. 📸 @lhanndowns for @DyeStat

The gunman had anti-ICE messaging carved on the bullets he used. What, precisely, did I get wrong, dipshit?
