More info on Kerr's typical training week from https://www.dailymail.com/sport/othersports/article-15987481... :

  Monday
  - Ten mile easy run
  - 15 minutes of form drills, sprints over small hurdles
  - Rotate between sauna and cold tub 

  Tuesday
  - Three-mile warm up, nine to ten miles continuous run at tempo pace, three miles cool down
  - Four x 120m strides
  - Session in the gym, lifting weights for up to 90 minutes

  Wednesday
  - Easy run lasting seven to eight miles 
  - Rotate between sauna and cold tub

  Thursday
  - Ten to 11 miles at a moderate intensity
  - Plyometrics and dynamic exercises

  Friday
  - Workout on the track
  - Race-specific 1500m/mile sessions
  - Session in the gym, lifting weights for up to 90 minutes

  Saturday
  - Rest. Spends time walking dog with his wife Larimar 

  Sunday
  - Long run of around 16 miles including some faster tempo pick-ups 

  ...Kerr then hit 1500m in 3:27.62 – faster than his own British record for the distance – and the world record looked within reach.

  Dr Kyle works out the precise dietary requirements to support my training while my performance chef Jameel Austin does the shopping and makes the meals to ensure I implement that. Everything I put into my body is cooked by Jameel. He also works in a restaurant as a pastry chef – that’s not a food on my menu – but he comes to our house every Monday and Thursday to prepare the meals.

  We also do an eight-day coffee fast before races. A coffee about three hours before the race should then have more impact. Regular blood-work informs whether any supplements are recommended by Dr Kyle. Supplements that I might have at different times of the year include vitamin D, omega-3 or beta-alanine.

  Like most runners now in almost every distance and endurance sport, I will also take sodium bicarbonate before a race, but I never bother in training. Sodium bicarbonate is essentially baking soda and has long been known to buffer hydrogen ions and thus delay muscle fatigue. Its usage, however, has increased over recent years after it was produced in a gel that helps to bypass the gut and thus reduce the risk of gastro issues.

  [Josh Kerr's coach, Danny] Mackey was set to have a meeting with representatives from Wavelight on Tuesday to discuss the pace. He said they have yet to lock in specific splits, but Kerr told LetsRun.com in April that “an even split or a slightly negative split, I think, is the way to do it.”

  3:43.13 mile pace is 55.45 per 400, which would mean 1:50.90 at 800 if they were to go for even splits.

  Mackey says he hopes the pace is pretty even and “hopefully he’s got something left in the end.”

  In terms of actual personal bests, Kerr’s fastest mile is the 3:45.34 he ran to win at Prefontaine in 2024. But his 1500 personal best of 3:27.79, which he ran in the Olympic final two months later, is the superior performance.

  “My daughter got this in the mail!” he said. “She’s still in high school, and you’re sending her coupons for baby clothes and cribs? Are you trying to encourage her to get pregnant?”

  The manager didn’t have any idea what the man was talking about. He looked at the mailer. Sure enough, it was addressed to the man’s daughter and contained advertisements for maternity clothing, nursery furniture and pictures of smiling infants. The manager apologized and then called a few days later to apologize again.

  On the phone, though, the father was somewhat abashed. “I had a talk with my daughter,” he said. “It turns out there’s been some activities in my house I haven’t been completely aware of. She’s due in August. I owe you an apology.”

Perhaps a graphic, on the front page, above the fold, pointing to pregnancy-related sales on interior pages of the flyer. Non pregnancy-related sales should dominate the front page.

  Under the initiative, “For any interests that confer voting or other direct control rights, the percentage of the business entity owned by the taxpayer shall be presumed to be not less than the taxpayer’s percentage of the overall voting or other direct control rights.”

  ...Together, for instance, Larry Page and Sergey Brin own about 11.3 percent of Alphabet (Google) but control 52.3 percent of voting rights. Similarly, Mark Zuckerberg owns about 13.6 percent of Meta but has 61.0 percent voting control.

Yes, it'll be slow and use p lots of memory pages, unless you can reduce the mem allocs to a certain small set of allocs. And you'll have to have code to write-enable/write-disable those mem allocs. But if it catches the culprit writing bytes where they shouldn't, it'll be worth it.

The one time I did this for a buffer passed to a HW device, I could prove that the hardware was doing DMA-writes where it shouldn't. Had to bring a HW logic analyzer to verify.
