The way England plays just doesn't pass the eye test. It doesn't make you believe that they will make the distance.

Spend 20 years studying Chemistry.
Collect data. Publish papers. Pass peer review.

Earn a PhD. Go online. Get told you're wrong - by an electric screwdriver salesman.

That's the internet.
Expertise vs confidence.

Science isn't broken.
Our respect for it is.

fucking hilarious that HR people think they can judge technical people

My main concern with all this lifemaxxing is: to what end?

You do this elaborate effort to optimise your life to the nth degree so that you can… create more content about optimising your life?

IOC head saying she doesn't believe in paying athletes right after the 1st edition of @enhanced_games where athletes signed up to secure their financial future because federations don't cover them is a bad look and tone deaf.

Read the room.

@JasonFitz1 I have never heard any of my fast running friends ever say “zone 2”. Only newer runners.

pretty crazy how five years ago vaccines were the most devastating thing you could ever do to your body but nowadays its fine to inject chinese peptide from Temu because you cant stop snacking after dinner

I hate work to rest ratios for interval training.

It’s a horrible way to look at it. Your rest period does NOT depend on the rep length.

It depends on what you want the stimulus and adaptation to be.

And trainer is always a mediocre college football player without a degree in exercise science or any qualifications or skill in other fields to make a living. So they came back to scam youth athletes in the name of "SPORTS SPECIFIC TRAINING"

[Gerry DeFilippo @Challenger_ST]

There are really idiots out there who will do things like this instead of sprinting, lifting & jumping

World Rugby: Ireland and Wales can’t wear their Red and Green kits against each other to make it easier to watch for people who are colour blind.

Also World Rugby:

Lindsay Vonn competing without ACL is a unique case but it's only inspiring motivated athletes and coaches to make irrational and crazy decisions. Context matter

Some football coaches down the line will push their athletes to significant danger because they think it's possible

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

#1 Rule of Coaching: Your athletes need to know you care. Not just about performance, but about them as people.

Professional sports award votes need to be public. Without transparency, too much power, no accountability.

Tom Brady is my goat but without Belichick's defense, he doesn't win all the rings and vice versa.

When the defense holds their end of the bargain, offense can do magic. You know what is a great QB play with terrible defense?

Bengals. That's the difference.

[Pillar Prep @PillarPrepFr]

@GaryMyersNY With great power comes great responsibility. When you abuse that power, you need to pay for it.

It's life.

Yea...... ai aint taking my jobs and if it does, it's gonna give it to emergency room or funeral people

[Aravind | GoF @imgeeksonfeet]

What are Strava PMs smoking these days? Strava instant workouts are so bad - 20x800m at VO2max followed by 8k threshold? Classic case of how AI slop can be used to ruin the product.

[Le'Veon Bell @LeVeonBell]

stop lifting in running shoes ..

The greatest robberyin history has been the American education system charging people hundreds of thousands of dollars to learn absolutely nothing.

[Hoops @Hoopss]

Do ACLs only exist so they can tear? You never hear about an ACL doing anything good. B*itchass ligament.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

Morning routine of elite runner:
Wake up, down water, eat a banana, sip coffee, go to the bathroom, go run.

Morning routine of bro cosplaying "elite":
Cold plunge, nasal breathing exercise, supplement stack, meticulous nonsense, no time for full workout because they wasted it

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

There’s no such thing as an elite 9 year old athlete.

Nothing really matters until after puberty.

Let’s stop the madness.
