New Study just published in Nature reports for the first time that a father's diet can affect female offspring's health. In the study, scientist fed male mice a chronic high fat diet before breeding which resulted in female offspring that had diabetes (increased body weight, adiposity, impaired glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity). This was due to epigenetic changes, thus it is the first report in mammals of non-genetic, intergenerational transmission of metabolic sequelae of a HFD from father to offspring.

Days off definitely make a difference I think! Your legs feel like they have more juice, I think, when you first run after rest days. Maybe you should think about taking a day or two off from running right before your race... do yoga or ultimate instead those days. :) However, I also think new clothes could have something to do with it... I want some running tights!
