- Though he knows it’s not fairly common, Colin’s left needing more:
What if there was a way to overlay somehow that I drank half a bottle of BodyArmor when I started the run? And at mile 6, I briefly stopped to drink some water and eat an energy gel.
And then how can I compare how that nutrition impacted my metrics compared to two weeks earlier when I... See morefrom LN 038: Semantic zoom

What's odd is that in fact these kinds of variables are something most distance athletes are quite into keeping track of. (I'm more of a cyclist myself.) - Though he knows it’s not fairly common, Colin’s left needing more:
