That was a good week. 8x1600m intervals, 28km long run and total of 141 km. No issues. Feeling strong. 🙂🤞 #running #marathon #runwitheva

This wasn’t easy today. Had to cut this session a bit shorter. #running #marathon #runwitheva

Love it!

She tried it many times and today she succeeded.

One important misconception around Substrate utilization during exercise is that during low exercise intensities you don’t use CHO as your energy is derived from fat... When I started performing fat and CHO oxidation assessments in 2005, I was quite surprised by the amount of

Gut training: "2 weeks of gut-training with CHO-S and CHO-F improved gastrointestinal symptoms & running performance compared with PLA. CHO-S also reduced malabsorption and increased blood glucose availability during endurance running compared with PLA." pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28177715/

The debate on Ruth Chepngetich's stunning sub-2:10 marathon WR rolls on. 3 thoughts from me: - women gain more from supershoes than men - she left ~60s on the table from drafting - there's no ROC curve that allows you to reliably determine if she's doping outsideonline.com/health/trainin…

Great thread! 🔥

After 40, you lose ~0.5-1% of your muscle mass each year... but your muscle *power* drops by 2-4%! That's a problem for healthy aging as well as sports. The trigger may be loss of fast-twitch fibers, which suggest plyos and heavy weights should help. outsideonline.com/health/trainin…

Exercise volume or intensity: which is more important for promoting training adaptations? 🫀🫁 A recent meta-analysis explores this question & provides evidence on how training variables influence mitochondrial content, capillarization, and VO2 max. Let’s explore. 👇🏼

If you want to lose weight, consider focusing on getting a greater portion of your total calories from protein and fiber. A new study found that individuals who increased their intake of protein and fiber experienced significant weight loss over a 12-month period, without the

How did I miss the point when Twitter turned into Instagram? 🤭

This figure from a new study shows very clear proportional bias by Garmin. It’s underestimating high HRV values and overestimating low values. Looks like this affects values <40 and >60 ms. Use with caution and note that these still aren’t research tools.
