Two years ago, the Boston Bruins clinched the President’s Trophy before the end of March following one of the greatest runs in NHL history. Last season, it was an insane race to the finish, with the New York Rangers coming out on top but seven teams, ridiculously, all within five points by the end. This […]

MARATHON running may burn brain cells, according to a study.
Runners’ bodies digest fat when there are no carbs from food available.
But along with flab from belly and thighs, experts now reckon it may also be harvested from areas of the brain, potentially affecting its functions.
Post-marathon MRI scans of eight men and two women showed a reduction in myelin, a fatty covering which protects nerves and speeds up electrical signals.
Dr Carlos Matute, of Spain’s University of the Basque Country in Bilbao, said an “extensive” change was seen in areas linked to co-ordination, senses and emotions.
Follow-up scans showed normal levels again two months later.
Dr Matute believes myelin may help fuel the brain when energy stocks are low.
He said: “Our findings show that running a marathon reduces runners’ myelin water levels in white matter areas.
“This may open up a new view of myelin as an energy store ready to use when common brain nutrients are in short supply.”
He added: “It would be important to evaluate whether these changes affect brain functions.”
A world record 56,000 runners have signed up for next month’s London Marathon.
Longer endurance feats have also become mainstream, with reality TV star Jamie Laing running 150 miles in five days last week for Comic Relief.
MARRIED At First Sight Australia fans were left squirming after one of the grooms almost cried over his ‘future son’.
In bizarre scenes, Ryan Donnelly was left holding back tears as he spoke about his imaginary child at the latest Commitment Ceremony.
Ryan and his wife Jacqui Burfoot were ‘flip-flopping’ over whether they actually want to be together when he made the strange comment.
Jacqui told the experts: “It’s not about me. I think about my children.
“So I don’t need the validation for my children. I’m happy with how I look, I’m happy with who I am as a person but I don’t want to necessarily be in the energy of someone who doesn’t do that for my children one day.”
Self-proclaimed warrior Ryan replied: “I take your point that there are times down the road, a long way down the road, where those days will be critical to everyone’s self-esteem. everyone’s progress and everyone’s general harmony in the household.
” So, you’re going to get that validation from me. Especially my son. When he comes round.”
Ryan then took a deep breath, raised his fist to his mouth and held back tears.
MAFS Australia fans were left both puzzled and cringing by his odd reaction.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one viewer said: “Tf is he crying about? You don’t even have a son yet.”
Another added: “Is Ryan tearing up over his hypothetical, future son? What is happening?!”
And a third chimed in: “‘You’re gonna get that validation for me … especially my son.’ What the f*** is going on?! These two are THE. MADDEST. pair I’ve seen!!!”
On the whole, Ryan and Jacqui have failed to see eye-to-eye since their wedding day.
This has not been helped by Jacqui insinuating her long list of academic and personal achievements put her far above Ryan.
In the last week, the couple have also come to blows after Ryan did not rank his wife as ‘the most beautiful girl in the world’.
But not only have fans been left convinced they are ‘actors‘, even MAFS Australia expert John Aiken is tearing his hair out over them.
In Monday night’s Commitment Ceremony on E4, Jacqui chopped and changed her opinion on whether she actually liked Ryan.
Looking exasperated, John said to Jacqui: “I need you to help me understand what the hell is going on!”
