Rethinking protein intake needs https://t.co/EgO5Gg0zLW

In this blog, @JornTrommelen describes findings from his work investigating the dose response relationship between protein intake and protein synthesis. Can we use more than we once thought?

[Sebastian Sitko @SitkoSebastian]

Are maximal fat oxydation rates (MFO) and FatMax really that relevant as a metric in running, cycling or triathlon?

Both once believed as key metrics in endurance sports but current knowledge shows it is not that easy.

Let's discuss the science.

A brief thread:

@SitkoSebastian Right! Keep it simple and effective.

@SageCanaday I'd say carbs or no carbs during a half is a very individual choice. The gut can be trained (Jeukendrup), and thus, the risk of GI distress can be reduced or eliminated. Training is a good place to experiment and find out if you need to eat or not.

The men’s Bowerman Mile at #EugeneDL didn’t disappoint!

@StephenSeiler None of the above. Let them do what they want. It’s there lives and bodies.

@picardonhealth @sweatscience @Globe_Health Great and thanks! Unfortunately, it seems to be behind a paywall and thus will never reach me.

[Gregor Rasp @CoachGregBKK]

@SageCanaday @UTMBWorldSeries Congrats Sage! I am really happy for you. I know all about it. I had CTEPH and, with the help of my Japanese expert, was able to turn it around at the brink of death. But I won't be able to fully use my lungs ever again.

Research-backed ways to prevent running injuries:
- stretching: ✖️
- the "right" shoe: ✖️
- strengthening: ❓

A new review assesses the evidence for exercise programs to reduce running injuries. It's weak, but there are few reasons for optimism.

@realBacHo @sweatscience @SportsMedicineJ Depends on your goals. Basically yes, it's called exercise bites or exercise snacking. Just think about how we evolved. When our ancestors were hunter-gatherers, they did exactly that in combination with varying levels of aerobic activities.

@505PIR @DrPhilipSkiba That's true. Heavy. But not shit, iron

@StephenSeiler Make sure they're not going to drown or waterboard you. - Good luck!

[Gregor Rasp @CoachGregBKK]

@StephenSeiler No worries. I always accredit the sources. But thanks for the reminder.

[Gregor Rasp @CoachGregBKK]

@StephenSeiler Dr. Seiler, do you allow me to use these slides in lectures (online and in person)? - Great stuff! It explains it all.

Runners of Thailand - does anyone want to run in #Rayong tomorrow? I heard the Ministry of Tourism and Sports is arranging transportation and accommodation. Please contact Sophia Sophie for more details.
I am just the messenger. I know nothing.

BREAKING NEES I have just received an unofficial statement from the upper management of the Ministry of Tourism and Sports.
They say this is not right [obviously referring to that organizer’s ban on foreigners].
They further say that they will take steps to prevent this in t…

I realize that this is a freaking luxury problem.
I see it as a sport.
Boredom might play a role.
