Those guys served as pacers and human windshields and were in front of him until the end. Different pacers were rotated in and out throughout the marathon, so they would be fresh enough to maintain that fast pace.

My current favorite is the Amacx Turbo Gel. 40 grams of carbs/160 calories. Thinner and easier to get down than Gu. A cheaper option is CARBS gels. 50 grams of carbs. All natural. Gigantic. For me, it's just a bit sweeter than I prefer. Both can be found at The Feed.

#RunChat A4: Still wearing my gloves from the 2006 NCR Trail Marathon. (I wish it was warm enough that I wouldn't need to wear them.)

A2: Lake Waramaug 100K. A 7.6-mile loop around a gorgeous lake. 4 aid stations per loop staffed by friendly volunteers. 50 mile and 50K distances, too. Great for ultra newbies.

"Thoughts and Prayers" popped up on my Release Radar playlist on Spotify. Excellent. Highly recommended.

The Washington Post is not run by journalists, but rather by a billionaire, for the billionaires...but not for the rest of us.
