The very hungry caterpillar claims the world record in the Manchester half marathon.a. time 1 hour, 14 minutes and 10 seconds. An extremely respectable time.b. the former WR was 1 hour 41 minutes and 37 seconds, and also did it as a caterpillar. https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/friends-caterpillar-suit-claim-world-145550350.html?guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9iYXpxdXguY29tLw&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAFbsfNMbOUuhArNTlMrThoIyB3WkO4jCuSTE8tYzzS0XELtPuCEGUdPDT9lHkDFVvRRKUP6qfLP2GQoDfzxzs0EV8EygRPjXQdGbyjHhZzFeHAn5NkyKJPwMko-DRpU9lDBT78X96St69fVZt5anfOgEfMNTq12E7fBF1I64BGq3&guccounter=23. Headline - "California governor candidate suggests women could compete against men in track at the 2028 LA Olympics."a. Betty Yee (the candidate) was on Piers Morgan's show when she gave that opinion (sort of). b. She kind of got bullied into that position.https://www.letsrun.com/news/2025/10/california-governor-candidate-suggests-women-could-compete-against-men-in-track-at-2028-la-olympics/https://x.com/PiersUncensored/status/19781925860253412844. Headline - "Having a baby takes more energy than running marathons for 9 months straight."a. Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body burns to perform its most basic, life sustaining functions while at rest. b. How much above your BMR can you sustain? Based on a 2019 Duke University study - The ceiling was found to be approximately 2.5 times your BMR. Meaning your body cannot digest and absorb enough calories to fuel a level above 2.5 times your BMR. If you are above that level your body will have to burn its own fat and muscle stores, which would not be sustainable long term. c. The study also found "that over the course of a nine-month pregnancy, a women's body operates at an average of 2.2 times her BMR every day for 270 days. d. During a marathon a runner may be operating at 15.6 times their BMR but only for a short period of time. e. A subsequent study, published in Science in May of 2024, calculated the total energy cost of a full term pregnancy to be approximately 49,753 dietary calories - that is equivalent to 30 full marathons over that40 week period. https://www.therunningweek.com/post/growing-a-baby-takes-more-energy-than-running-marathons-for-9-months-straighthttps://www.calculator.net/bmr-calculator.html?cage=63&csex=m&cheightfeet=6&cheightinch=0&cpound=148&cheightmeter=180&ckg=60&cmop=0&coutunit=c&cformula=m&cfatpct=20&ctype=standard&x=Calculate5.

After a protest, at 11PM on Saturday night that there would be a run-off on Sunday morning at 10:40 AM before the finals later that day - USA was 2nd to Botswana in the finals. d. Biggest surprises - Men's 1500 - the big five all with no medals? Kerr and Laros were the only ones to make the finals and he hurt his calf a couple of laps in. Laros had no kick in this race. - Grant Fisher no medals? - Ingerbrigtsen - no medals? - Cole Hocker winning the 5000 in a fast race. His last lap was 52 seconds.3. Another marathon major - BerlinSawe was at WR pace at half way (60:16) but warm conditions slowed him down in the second half. Finished at 2:02:16 - four minutes ahead of second place. Rosemary Wanjiru (Ken) won the women's race in 2:21:05 (not particularly fast).https://www.letsrun.com/news/2025/09/sabastian-sawe-stays-perfect-at-26-2-by-winning-2025-berlin-marathon-in-20215/
