@PaulaYScanlan I wish I could unknow some things.

@FritzPeasant @wil_da_beast630 Advocates for child porn. People call him out on it. Responds by calling them idiots. It’s the same tactic all the time, “if only the other side was enlightened, they’d get it.”

@taggartvanetten I’ve always thought even a tiny bit of upper body lifting to help maintain postural integrity could result in pretty big improvements late in a race or hard effort.

[Max O'Krepki @MaxOKrepki]

@Brady_H @HankFrank Yeah, but, my dogmatic mindset says that shouldn’t be true.

@stevemagness Wokeness rots the brain. An obsession with politics and identity corrodes the soul. Sweat and Faith reverse this pretty quickly.

[Max O'Krepki @MaxOKrepki]

@briyanandersen @Hybridathlete Yeah, not to be a broken record but I think your last point bears repeating. You play by the rules of the game set out by a body that sanctions a race, regardless of your intent.

[Max O'Krepki @MaxOKrepki]

@Hybridathlete @SPVLABS I think his chances are not zero if he doesn’t wear jeans. I’m not saying high, I’m just saying not zero. With jeans, it’s practically zero.

[Max O'Krepki @MaxOKrepki]

@briyanandersen @Hybridathlete I think the problem is that he entered a championship race. Even if he wasn’t gunning for the title, by entering a sanctioned race, you agree to their rules and he potentially broke them. Allowing yourself to opt out pretty much solves this.

[Max O'Krepki @MaxOKrepki]

@zachyhm @Catalyst2Thrive Ditto, opting out probably solves this. Even if you aren’t a pro, if you enter a sanctioned event, you agree to their rules by entering.

@MiddleearthMixr I’m developing the opinion that you’re not allowed to vote to increase taxes on people unless you donate at least a $1 every time you go to the grocery.

@HardMoney_VP @Ruffinonjoeshow He was something else, neither the fastest nor strongest. But his ability to stay balanced and on his feet was almost unbelievable. If a person’s intrinsic spatial awareness could be measured, he’d probably be in the top .01%. His awareness of the game was just as good.

[Max O'Krepki @MaxOKrepki]

@Ruffinonjoeshow You know how you can tell when tv footage looks old? I was at a number of those games in person, makes me feel old.

[Max O'Krepki @MaxOKrepki]

@tiga_style @taggartvanetten Might be worth parsing out general fitness vs running performance. Cycling won’t make you a better runner but some higher intensity work on the bike might add to general fitness in a way that’s hard to achieve with running alone if short on time. Not airtight, just a thought.

[Max O'Krepki @MaxOKrepki]

@stevemagness Science is a process, not a particular observation or conclusion.

[Max O'Krepki @MaxOKrepki]

@stevemagness It’s 90% BS but it’s entertaining.

[Max O'Krepki @MaxOKrepki]

@Brady_H Göran just introduced me to the table sugar hack so running just got a lot cheaper. Just need to ask my job to accommodate my new commuting schedule.

[Max O'Krepki @MaxOKrepki]

@Brady_H It’s tough, elite/sub-elite times are enviable but every running memoir I’ve listened to mentions stress fractures and bone issues as an issue.

[Max O'Krepki @MaxOKrepki]

@runliftrunlift @EdLatimore For real. It’s kinda like, and? Your point is? If you aren’t in shape, just stay out of shape?

[Max O'Krepki @MaxOKrepki]

@Brady_H I do wonder how much of the controversy around it is more about making it the myopic focus of a fitness regime versus another marker to track.

[Max O'Krepki @MaxOKrepki]

@runliftrunlift I did my own research, dangerous, I know, and decided that slow runs at 70% HR really aren’t any better than 65% or even 5x%.
