The science of hydration

My article on the science of hydration has far more detail than you're likely to need unless you're a researcher, but it explains why I believe running in the heat requires far more salt than is in most sports drinks.

Running in the Heat

I've updated my advice on running in the heat, based on the available science and my experiences at Badwater and the Keys 100, as well as training in the North Carolina summer.

Best running shoes at the best price

CoolSculpting Review Updated

CoolSculpting is cold to reduce body fat, which sounds like nonsense, but the approach is well supported by the research.

I've updated my review of CoolSculpting with the latest research, including initial suggestions that massage after treatment enhances the results.
