@ajoneswilkins @AravaipaRunning @Cocodona250 My honest opinion: I believe in the “no outside assistance outside of aid stations” rule. The rules apply to every runner, front or back of pack.

But also: this is an incredible showcase of willpower, and I wouldn’t want to be the RD giving him a DQ or DNF.

@QuinnyPig At least this part:
"No employee gets paid more than the minimal amount of cash. In Seattle or other “non-premium markets” that means $160k. In SF and NY—the “premium markets”—that can get to $185k."

This got updated in 2022.

@RunnerBeck Come trail run! A buffet at every aid station.

[Nills Franssens 🇺🇦 @NillsF]

@taggartvanetten If you run less than 2 hours, can you even call it a long run?
This is not overtraining territory.

@Michael_Easter @Brady_H @Alan_Couzens @feelthebyrn1 Fallen in love with the Terignota t-shirts. Amazing for only $22.
Shokz headphones. Base model Openrun. Be aware of your surroundings.

@FanAmpFantasyHQ I haven't made the switch yet, but thinking in the same direction - main difference being Ocon vs Bearman.

My changes would be LEC -> COL // BEA --> HUL // VRB --> MER

@HankFrank @UltraRunner26 I'm surprised as well! In how much water do you dissolve the sodium?

[Nills Franssens 🇺🇦 @NillsF]

@taggartvanetten Good luck @taggartvanetten !!!

[Nills Franssens 🇺🇦 @NillsF]

@FanAmpFantasyHQ Thoughts about swapping
RUS 2x + BOR
to
ANT 2x + BEA
?

@mhuber1122 @Brady_H If the medal is more important for you than finishing the entire marathon and you can live with it, go for it.

Me personally, I'd never do it. I've run 80 miles of a 100 miler and DNFd. I wouldn't have taken the buckle even if they offered it.

@taggartvanetten This is me on my morning bike commute.
Wake up - piece of toast with PB banana and coffee.
Easily 5-10bpm difference between going/coming home, same effort.

@JohnGoldman “Stop being a douche.”

Love it!

[Nills Franssens 🇺🇦 @NillsF]

@HarryStebbings Love these episodes. Great discussion and insights. Especially when there's healthy debate!

@HankFrank @foundmyfitness A guy I follow on Instragram had a post about this: https://t.co/jlBIYMJ82J

"the young athletes slept 24 minutes longer and improved their sleep efficiency by 4.8% with the later meal timing"
More details in the link.

@taggartvanetten Does this qualify to join the overtraining movement?
30k trail race with 850m of vert
45k on the bike

[Nills Franssens 🇺🇦 @NillsF]

@Alan_Couzens I call them long run with aid stations!

[Nills Franssens 🇺🇦 @NillsF]

@taggartvanetten Why standing/walking rest versus jogging rest?

[Nills Franssens 🇺🇦 @NillsF]

@taggartvanetten At 126bpm, are you even overtraining?

[Nills Franssens 🇺🇦 @NillsF]

@ARunnersResolve Fort ord 25k next Saturday.

First one of the season
