        I don’t think they did it right. A) because he said he ran 32 miles on that loop or 451 and a bit loops and B) I think even if he ran all 3200 miles that year, OP is off by a factor of 10

      That’s not true. They have put mouse exercise wheels in the wild and mice use them for fun. Mice love to run.

      There was actually an interesting “exercise drug” line of research seeing if they could make a pharmaceutical that would make exercise fun. Wonder if that went anywhere.

        I think you are thinking of PPAR-δ agonists, it’s not about making exercise fun though. More like exercise in a pill. It worked, but gave the rats tumours I believe. People use it anyway, which seems a bit risky.

          Yeah I know about that one! But in that same article (assuming we are thinking about the same one) they interviewed another scientist working on the other kind of drug.

          Last I checked a less tumour inducing version of the drug was going into phase 1 clinical trials for muscular dystrophyin the last year or so

            Good, it’s an exciting area of research. Don’t know about any article, I just happen to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of PEDs. I’d definitely be interested to hear about the other thing.

              I would personally love an exercise pill. I have pretty severe depression so getting into an exercise routine is a huge struggle. If I could take some medication that helped I would be so happy.

      Pete and Pete was, in my opinion, the absolute pinnacle of what could be done in a show for kids.

      Meanwhile, Toby Huss in the picture up there went on to be in Halt and Catch Fire and was the voices of Kahn and Cotton on King of the Hill. Talented dude apart from being the strongest man in the world.

    I like to think the road leading into the cul-de-sac is accurate in size and his paths varied by about three road-widths and he was running through people’s yards at times.

    (The truth is probably that the app doesn’t draw over previous paths so 450 laps equals 450 lines side-by-side)

    The Flash briefly appears in [the alternate universe story] Kingdom Come when the book is establishing its world’s status quo. Described as living “between the ticks of a second,” the Scarlet Speedster has turned his home of Keystone City into a crime-free paradise. He’d pushed himself so hard and gotten so fast that he was effectively omnipresent and could easily stop any disturbance before it began. However, in the process, Wally West had stopped slowing down to do human things like talk to people or sleep.
