Episode 57 is here and it brings all the regular segments and topics. We discuss some questions about pre race and marathon fueling as well as doing some community shoutouts. We move on to some happenings from IM South Africa and in the USADA world. Then we discuss an article about cyclists getting bigger before our main two topics; the torpedo bats the Yankees are using and a study examining the placebo effect of supershoes. We finish off in the doctor's office as usual.
