Trying something new this Sunday. Instead of my usual three deep dives, I'm giving you five quick ones — skim what you want, read what grabs you. Either way, you'll know everything I know in about two minutes.

1. THE STARTING LINE

This weekend was the Leadville 100 Run. 100 miles, all above 10,000 feet. One athlete on that start line was Matthew Bickel, who began his journey at 532 pounds. Yesterday he lined up at less than half that weight to take on what I'd argue is one of the hardest endurance events in the world. He covered 50 miles — and along the way PR'd his marathon and his 50K.

There's no athlete I get to support who is more inspiring or more positive. Matthew was a longtime Feed customer before we ever supported him directly, and he's told me fueling has been the key to his weight loss. But what really matters is how he puts it: "Half the size, but twice the man."

Matt made it to the starting line at Leadville and that was the race that counted. Take 30 seconds to see what happened next, and be inspired:
