Athletes love caffeine for a performance edge — it improves alertness and concentration, spikes adrenaline, aids muscle function, and blocks certain brain receptors, which makes exercise feel easier. But because you can build up a tolerance to the stimulant, many athletes give it up for days or a week leading up to a competition, thinking they need a “caffeine detox” in order to get the maximum desired effects from a pre-event dose....

Fifty yards ahead, a pale light silhouetted a cowboy hat and a horse’s ears bobbing in a cloud of snow. With a string of mustangs lined out nose-to-tail in front of me, my only choice was to suck it up and follow. I could ignore my numb fingers and toes, the snow pelting my face, the wind gusting across the ridge at what must have been 50 miles per hour, cutting through my thin jacket and jeans, and the knowledge that the darkness to my right obscured 100-foot cliffs....

You could be truly addicted to the internet, a new study suggests, and it might be harming your health. Researchers from Swansea University in England wanted to see what would happen, both psychologically and physiologically, when admitted “problem internet users” were temporarily kept away from their devices.

At 7:30am HST the world’s top paddlers—standup, prone and hydrofoil—began their annual pilgrimage from the Hawaiian island of Molokai 32 miles across the Channel of Bones to Oahu for the 22nd annual Molokai 2 Oahu, aka M2O, aka the most prestigious downwind paddle race on earth. For the first time in M2O history the fastest paddler raced neither prone nor SUP, but hydrofoil. Surprise, surprise: that paddler was Kai Lenny, who also holds the course’s stock SUP record and in 2016 won the unlimited SUP division with record-setting time....

Once teammates, always friends—and forever gym buddies. Now that they’re both residents of the Big Apple, New York Mets reliever AJ Ramos and New York Yankees slugger Giancarlo Stanton may share an apartment this season, according to the New York Post. The former Miami Marlins teammates “remain close friends,” and since the Mets are usually on the road when the Yankees play at home—and vice versa—it might make sense for the two to share an apartment....

Kelly Slater was interviewed earlier this year by Graham Bensinger, a TV sports reporter who sits down with the GOAT from time to time to talk about a range of topics under the banner of surfing. This time, the two discussed everything from wave pools, Slater’s upbringing and what it’s like competing at 47 years old.

There are places where you just shouldn’t be able to ski: across busy intersections, over school busses, on the back of a tow truck. Apparently pro freeskier Tom Wallisch doesn’t know this. If there’s a tiny amount of snow blanketing his surroundings (or sometimes, even if there’s not), Wallisch can turn it into a run. He does so in an astounding new video released by The North Face and the production company Sherpas Cinema....

So you’re at your local supermarket, perusing the shelves to fill up your get-ripped grocery list, and everything’s going along smoothly. But right before you pick up your usual low-fat plain yogurt or lean cut of sirloin, you notice that tastier options—that sugary fruit-flavored yogurt, the sumptuous porterhouse—are staring you in the face, begging to be enjoyed over those lackluster imitators. It’s the classic fit guy’s dilemma. And yeah, we know it sucks....
