And if you hadn't taken that quote out of context, you would have seen that I was recommending between 60-70 ounces of water from 1-2 hours before the race until race finish, which won't put you at risk for hyponatremia and is, in fact, in

Dehydration absolutely can kill you during a race. Ask most (if not all) race medics and/or first-aid volunteers and they'll tell you dehydration is by far the bigger issue at marathons. You took that quote out of context. If you're an elit

The key on race day is to get as much water as your stomach can handle -- one coach (Benji Durden) recommends about a quart of water 1-2 hours before the race, and then almost a half bottle every 6 miles or so. That's a lot of water when y

I'm scraping together every bit of money towards my startup... but not skimping on food at all. Perhaps that's because it's a food startup and I'd feel hypocritical eating ramen everyday! But, really, it's more because I think there are bet

Agreed - foodspotting does food visuals well. We're less about dish discovery, though, and more about food shopping. The problem we're trying to solve is picking through the 100 choices in the cereal aisle, where having pictures of the boxe

It's perfectly healthy. as a sidenote: you can mimic those effects through exercise (and a smaller window of caloric restriction). I've had some great mid-distance runs on no calories for the prior 6-8 hours (they felt great.. but I couldn'

Yup, it might be helpful to see metrics along with every "review my startup" post. not # customers/users, since obviously the startups that post will have low numbers; but maybe things like manhours spent coding, number of people involved,

True. as someone who's been working on something for 6 months, and who finally feels almost ready to post something here, I'd say: take the startups which were obviously thrown up in the last few weeks with a grain of salt.. but don't lump

there are a couple startups in this space (GrubWith.Us, gogrubly.com, maybe others?). what differentiates housefed? is it the international angle? the kind of foodspotting-esque type focus on user-generated photos? any plans for adding desc
