Two years ago @Gonzalez_JT suggested I investigate a new sports drink for my masters. I asked some people to run for a long time, lots of times, had a few sleepless nights & had to ask some of them to do it again, then I wrote about it. Now you can read about it too if you like.

"main factors for success. were more likely the luck of good weather, helicopter and Sherpa support, and most importantly, sleeping in altitude tents (which simulate a higher altitude with reduced oxygen). .

Although xenon may have neuroprotective effects, there is no strong evidence that it aids in short-term, high-altitude performance. Success is more likely a result of acclimatization, oxygen suppor...

Well, presumably preparation for and mitigation of extreme environments in the race. We're conducting research to find out how participants beat extreme heat. If you or someone you know is racing, consider completing our survey to tell us your strategies!

Badwater 135 is one of the ultimate tests of human performance in the heat - 135 miles from the Badwater Basin, across Death Valley to Mt Witney. Along the way competitors face temps over 50C. Despite this, the race has a surprisingly high finish rate. How?.
