Hey Athletic Fans,

A tragic loss has shaken the track community after a coach collapsed during a fitness event and died at just 41. What began as an ordinary test of fitness ended in heartbreak for those around him, a devastating reminder of how quickly everything can change.

Read the full story and the rest of tonight’s biggest athletics headlines below.

⚡Why this matters: The coach was also an athlete who regularly competed in HYROX.



Skincare built by longevity scientists — not marketers

Most skincare addresses what happens after your skin ages: the appearance of wrinkles, loss of visible firmness, and dullness. But four PhD longevity scientists asked a different question: what if you could target the cellular process that causes visible aging in the first place?

Their answer is OS-01, the first peptide scientifically proven to address senescent cells — the damaged "zombie cells" that accumulate with age and accelerate visible skin decline. The result: the first topical clinically validated to address visible skin aging at the source. In a double-blind 12-week clinical study of OS-01 FACE:

  • 100% of users showed improved overall appearance

  • 96% improved visible firmness

  • 87% showed improvement in the appearance of wrinkles

  • Barrier strength improved 15%

This isn't skincare with better marketing. It's skincare with better science. And real results.
