Stevief Posted October 10, 2019 Share I want him to do it, as Shaper above said it will break the mental barrier and like the 4 min mile in 10 years become a common occurence. Moriarty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Steer Posted October 10, 2019 Share Have a feeling if he can prove that it can be done under controlled conditions..... then there is a good chance it will be done in a race in the not too distant future. The mindset of many will change....In my mind they have already broken the mental barrier... since the Nike attempt the times are charging downwards, Eliud at Berlin and now with the new 21km record. I just hope he can break it before he starts to decline as an athlete... can't imagine he has too many years left at his peak and he's definitely the right man for the job Going to be helluva interesting - hope those crowds can get him home!

shaper Posted October 10, 2019 Share So as there was discussion on concoctions to use whilst running (aka beetroot etc), anyone ever tried bicarb? Seems to be the big thing at Kona this week and for this weekend. Stuff made by AMP Human https://amphumanperformance.com/pages/learn Brief read (will do some more investigating) is that the bicarb is an electrolyte which reduces/reacts with the build up of lactic acid. Rubbed on as a lotion (can affect stomach) Supposedly used by a lot of the Pro triathletes Edited October 10, 2019 by shaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I binned the idea shortly thereafter (Probably for a newer better fad! ) so can't respond to any truth behind it. shaper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khronis Posted October 10, 2019 Share I saw this for the first time. Future life in a pouch. One pouch with water in, the other with the powder. Squeeze and pop the seal allows the 2 too mix together. Edited October 10, 2019 by Khronis Hacc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mindset of many will change....Look at what happened when he broke the world record by over a minute.. Suddenly someone like Bekele had a target to aim for. The top three material times have all been run in the past 12 months. Before that they were all over a minute slower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted October 10, 2019 Share With my luck, the water will go "pop" in any of the three other directions than the one it's meant and designed to pop... Just like those damn CO2 cartridges that go off unexpectedly leaving you to pump by hand, or else freeze themselves into your fingers (usually both, in my case).

Squeeze and pop the seal allows the 2 too mix together. They have had these available for a few years in massive bulk, for feeding mining operations and schools so it is good to see we can hopefully buy them now not 10 000 at a time. There are other local brands available in Dischem as well, R15 each makes it cheaper than a Gu gel as well. I use them for Adventure racing, even took a few to Scotland for Itera.
