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.
