@StravaSupport why am I being spammed by loads of notifications for activity uploads, have pushed a update out with a bug?

[Jason Fitzgerald @JasonFitz1]

Most runners don’t want to hear it… but your 30-40 mpw is simply not enough.

[Alan Couzens @Alan_Couzens]

My take...

EVERY BODY should walk 🚶

I program walking for my pro athletes, even though their heart rate will barely break 60bpm! 🫀

Why?

There are 2 basic types of fitness - cardiovascular fitness and metabolic fitness.

For many recreational athletes (VO2max < 50ml/kg/min) walking *does* offer a sufficient cardiovascular demand to force the heart to expand and deliver more O2 to the muscles and improve cardiovascular fitness. It's, IMO, underutilized as a cardiovascular stimulus for many in this regard.

However, for very well trained athletes, with a huge heart and massive potential for cardiac output, 60bpm will do nothing for cardiovascular fitness. It's just not a challenge at all to their system to get that measly amount of O2 to the muscles.

But...

Even a simple walk requires energy.

For athletes who challenge their glycogen stores on the regular with hard training, you know where this energy is going to come from? Fat. 🔥

Therefore, even a simple walk serves as an important metabolic stimulus to the body to keep that fat-burning furnace cranking. In this way, it offers important complementary benefits to the "serious" training on the metabolic side of the health and fitness equation.

IOW, I don't care how fit you are, you should still spend a lot of time walking.

@SteveDawsonCKT @GarminUK @Garmin I’ve also a Fenix and the battery life just drains since the software update a week or ago. Why does it now drop 10% overnight when I sleep ?!! Sort it out @Garmin

@Defitmeandmykey @DEFITofficial @DEFIT_Preacher @DEFIT_F50 @LondonMarathon Thank you 🙏 - There might be a quicker Deffiter out there - 33:09 10k and 1:13:13 HM

[David Abbott @runliftrunlift]

For your sub 4 hour marathon training
It’s not about running as many miles at 9:09 as possible
It’s about getting that 10:30 or 11:00 mile as easy as possible
If there’s too large a gap between your easy pace and race pace
Last 6 miles won’t go well

[Jason Fitzgerald @JasonFitz1]

Want to spot the good runner?

Find the fit looking, efficient runner going SLOW (even when others pass them).

The confidence to run slow, even when you're being outrun, is a sure sign of quiet confidence and strategic thinking.

I'll bet on that runner every time.

Slow in posting after a bit of recovery. Last weeks race including 100mile PB 15h27m33s. Would have earned more @DEFITofficial giving each BF a run out but stuck Koffi for the full event. Not quite the legendary run of 2023
