Endurance performance focuses on:
• VO2max
• Lactate threshold
• Efficiency/economy
But what else impacts oxygen supply and delivery?
Here are 4 muscle characteristics that may be limiting your endurance performance ⬇️
What I learned from Twitter.
Strength training to prevent running injuries is grudgingly acknowledged to be nonevidenced based but you should still do it but
Increasing the strength of the foot has no evidence and you shouldn’t do it.
gotta love the consistency @blaisedubois
Here is a nice example of the difference between training LOAD (neutral) and training STRESS (responds to day to day variation). Same workout performed 1) with tired legs and 2) 2 days later with fresh legs.

Running is safe for joints. Don't be scared of 'wearing out your knees' - that's not a thing. Share far and wide. Time to make sure no one is scared of running!

Running shoe selection for specific injuries is a bit of a gamble but is it sometimes worth rolling the dice? What do you think?
A few thoughts from me 👇
NEW: people worry when they hear "40% of hospitalisations are fully vaxxed", but this chart shows that's actually good news.
The more people you vaccinate, the higher their share of hospitalisations, but the *total* number in hospital is a fraction of what it would otherwise be
Been playing with data from individual bests over 100m, 10000m, marathon
A huge biological sex "performance wall" holds whatever the distance, while the trend within men continues unhindered at the level of the women's WR (supposedly with the same determinisms at play)
Very excited to share our article in @BJSM_BMJ: “Multidisciplinary, biopsychosocial factors contributing to returning to running & running related stress urinary incontinence in postpartum women”
Thanks @sportNI for the excellent infographic. A thread 1/n

#running downhill protects against damage occurring when running downhill: the repeated bout effect:↘️fatigue, ↗️ neural drive, impacts biomechanics but not energy cost of running.

↘️Less strength loss in🏃🏽♀️than🏃🏽♂️
↘️Less peripheral fatigue in🏃🏽♀️in shorter distances
➡️No sex diff in Cost of running alteration
🔍Females more fatigue resistant or less fatigued?

Ils veulent mettre ça sur tous les examens d'imagerie en Angleterre :
"Les IRM donnent une image précise et sensible de l'anatomie rachidienne, pas de ce qu'une personne ressent.
Quelques résultats peuvent sembler effrayant, mais la plupart sont très communs chez les..." 1/3
Disappointed to see this nonsense in @LondonMarathon newsletter today: https://t.co/iGwSbAGd6y
