I’m an ultra runner, I’ll do 50-60 mpw weeks during peak weeks with strength training.

I take 10g creatine, it did wonders for me. More energy and mental sharpness.

Strength training is essential for runners to avoid injury at high mileage. Sleep, strength, and nutrition. It can’t be ignored or you will get injured.

Some folks mention cutting it out to lose weight but at higher mileage I find it hard to keep on weight anyway.

I take 10g a day, have for a couple years now. Started mostly because of training but it does wonders in sleep deprived states.

5g would probably be fine without a lot of training ( I train about 10hrs a week). Seems like I need 10g to both get the physical and mental benefits, especially during peak training blocks (running 50-60 mpw with strength training).

I counteract it with Magnesium Glycinate. Works well for me.

Magnesium Taurate is the form of magnesium I settled on. I take 1500mg of it (300mg elemental Mg) every evening before sleep, but I feel that even half of this dose has a noticeable effect on my sleep.

Magnesium Glycinate was destroying my sleep even when I took it in the afternoon. I'd wake up after 4-5h of sleep and would feel completely alert as if it was midday and then tiredness would slowly ascend on me over the next few hours but I'd still be unable to fall asleep.

Magnesium has a crazy effect on my sleep, very very noticeably deeper.

Not necessarily more restful, but deep and I don't remember anything. With B6 it's deep but more interspersed with vivid dreams.

I take zinc with them too, my own zma stack basically. I'm not sure the zinc has a direct effect on sleep, I take it for testosterone benefits.

These made me realize that legal vitamins and supplements can have much more than a subtle effect.

I can't stop having vivid, and mostly bad dreams with it making me tired the next day. I guess I should switch to something else.

It’s preposterous, companies are blindly funding slop and the product is fool’s gold.

It's the state of modern capitalism. Money must flow from one entity to another even if nothing of tangible value is produced. The flows of money prove the growth of both businesses.

If I spend money on tokens but my revenue doesn't increase, nor do I get any operating efficiency gains - where is my growth then buddy boyo?

The growth in revenue's (since earnings are negative for them) only shows up for the model producer

what kind of metric should we use to filter out that bullshit?

dollarhours?

Corporate tech has accelerated into a preposterous trajectory.

Burn resources at all costs to appear productive and use proxy metrics to measure success.

Fire productive employees to ensure we have resources to fund the proxy metrics.

AI slop fool’s gold is the product.

juniors who are stuck on ai and cant learn is the real product imo

Junk

My mom left the house as a kid. Dad worked and did it all during the week. Definitely felt like this was a rare thing growing up. I did spend time with my mom on the weekend though.

As a father I try and balance it out but I definitely don’t do as much as my dad did growing up.

While consuming about 800 calories.

Your body stores roughly 2000 calories in glycogen. They are burning calories but nowhere near the amount a middle pack would be at this pace.

So ~2800 calories of carbs with some fat being burned.
