@stevemagness Fair points Steve, but can we also acknowledge the enormous purses being offered and contrast with the dismissal failure of Grand Slam.

Clearly this isn't going away and there is a considerable market.

@Brady_H Variety, got it. So you're something of a connoisseur 😉 Mainly asking because Carb Fuel has a caffeine too.

@Alan_Couzens So you are/would be a fan of the new(ish) wearable lactate meters? Any experience with them as of yet?

[Ben Tracy @BenTracyIV]

@Alan_Couzens From my experience and others I think most VO2 testing is very suboptimal though. The last test I saw the testing facility claimed an individual saw a VO2 increase of 10 points in 30 days.

@Alan_Couzens Thoughts on the emerging wearable lactate meters?

Remains one of the most underrated tweets on the X endurance landscape.

It's amusing how amateur athletes are interpreting the Norwegian paper.

Totally glossing over the 100-115 mi/wk of EZ & focusing on the double threshold.

"Well, of course I don't have time for the easy miles so I'm just going to replicate the hard bit."

Doesn't work like that.

The Athlete makes the coach, not the other way around.

Time to keep your ego in check. When it comes to athletics, talent matters. As coaches it’s our job to nurture and allow that potential to show itself.

@aleuthard @bowtiedmeathead Ha...so which one are on?

@JoshuaLisec Are we talking about this weekend's half time show?

[Ben Tracy @BenTracyIV]

@PaulGrewalMD @zbitter You can't elaborate or provide us a few small examples perhaps specifically regarding his book?

@MetabolicUncle Way to bury the 'lead'.

Zone 2 training makes sense for ambitious athletes preparing for endurance events. Cyclists, marathoners, triathletes. People who need to sustain moderate effort for hours.

@dr_andrealove @Kevin68548900 My 13 year old used the same argument today. 👏👏👏

[Shawn Siemers @Siemers_XC_TF]

Championship races aren’t about the fastest first mile.
They’re about the strongest last mile.

This week my cues are simple:
– First rep of practice = slowest rep of practice
– Even splits are the only splits we accept
– Every workout ends faster than it starts

You’re not just training fitness.
You’re training belief that patience pays.

👉 Even splits keep you alive.
Negative splits make you dangerous.
Positive splits get you dropped.

@united I was scheduled on a partner airline Brussels Air via United & my bags were lost. Unfortunately American ended up being my last carrier but they don't operate in Brussels. Now United reps are not assisting me or American in contacting Brussels Air to find my 3 bags. ??
