Hey folks, first marathon coming up in a week - I think I'm more or less ready - did 30k a week ago and then a few other runs this week - but have a few questions.

First, what should I eat on the day before and day of the race? It starts at 7AM. Should I eat anything that morning? What about the day before, would it make sense to eat a particularly large meal, and if so what food? For that matter, what are good things to eat after?

Second, should I bring anything for the race? Is it normal to have a phone to time myself with strava? What about food/drink for fueling?

Any other things I should know? Thanks in advance!

I watched the interview because i hate myself.

I already liked contra and disliked Brianna, but I can't fathom even watching this as a Brianna fan and thinking she made any sense. Arguing that Kamala lost for being pro israel, even though trump was more pro israel. Does she think pro-gaza voters are like the dumbest human beings alive? Because otherwise this logic makes no sense.

Hi folks, I'm interested in signing up, but I'm unsure if they would take me, and if it's not an option I'd like to know now.

Main things are:

1. I'm deaf in my left ear. Doesn't affect me too much in ordinary life aside from saying "what?" somewhat more often than most people, but in action it'd be another thing entirely

2. I have rheumatoid arthitis. With medication, it doesn't really affect me at all, but if I went a week without medication it might be rather unpleasant, and it's not clear to me if that is possible.

I am also wondering exactly how dangerous it is. I understand that joining up is inherently very dangerous, but the degree of the danger is not very clear to me. There's a big difference between a 10% and an 50% chance of dying after a month on the frontline, and what I've read makes it difficult to get a good idea of which of those is closer to reality.

Thanks in advance for anyone helping to clarify!
