Enjoying the chase.

@zbitter @Brady_H That would be appropriate for the Lion of Scotland.

@Mangan150 @GuruAnaerobic I've shifted a good portion of my energy to learn into language and the arts. Playing an instrument is applied learning. Speaking a new language is an attempt to insert yourself into that culture. Both are incredible experiences that are little affected by AI.

@stevemagness There's also a fair amount of magical delusion as to what the mind can force the body to do.

In addition to being a healthier, slower-digesting option, avocado smoothies give off a strong Brazilian vibe.

[Dr. Rhonda Patrick @foundmyfitness]

I don't add bananas to my smoothies.

Why?

Not because bananas are bad (I love bananas). They contain polyphenol oxidase, an enzyme that can break down polyphenols. And studies suggest that when you add banana to a blueberry smoothie, you may absorb fewer of the beneficial polyphenols from the berries!

So instead, I use avocado. It gives the smoothie the same creamy texture with the bonus of monounsaturated fat in avocado, which can increase absorption of carotenoids like lutein and zeaxanthin from kale - nutrients important for eye and brain health.

I talked about this recently on my appearance on The Mel Robbins Podcast.

True for road running. But a light vest with collapsible drinking flasks is necessary for trail running.

This is hands down the single best piece of running gear I own.

Naked Belt

Fits a phone, gels, even a small-ish water bottle and feels like you’re wearing nothing at all.

@ud9304 @ethanlculver Unfortunately, that’s true. It’s a close call to say which is worse, arson or plain stupidity.
Final numbers for the day: Human 35, Natural38, Undetermined 21, Total 94.
That’s a lot of human error.

@ud9304 @ethanlculver Of the 28 new fires reported July 16, Canada classified 15 as human-caused, eight as natural and five as undetermined.

@gavinnixon7 @Brady_H @hubermanlab It’s worse than jet lag because there is no solar cue.

@AliBrownleetri The studies on tropical sleep duration comparing winter and summer temperatures are on point. Slight increases in overnight temperatures during the tropical summer result in less sleep at night and more naps during the day.

Rough body-weight scaling comparing rats to humans (using the commonly cited rat LD₅₀ of ~42 mg/kg and my approximate weight of ~90 kg):
~3.78 g (3,780 mg) of pure cholecalciferol would likely be a lethal dose. That’s 151 million IU!!!

Even this is a crude estimate though—humans seem to be less sensitive per kg than rats, and actual human toxic/lethal doses are probably even higher.

@Stallion2011 @DrJesseMorse The flow changed completely after the substitution.

@HawkNationXX @jumpers_world “Highest vertical leap (running start)” is an actual category for the Guinness Book of World Records.

[Brian Anderson @briyanandersen]

@Brady_H I absolutely loved that race. Great course, great support, beautiful weather. Good luck!

[Brian Anderson @briyanandersen]

@JimmyJGreen @stevemagness Also, it is highly unlikely to be the formula for longevity in sport. I could see this being effective in periodized training. During the competitive season, you follow this diet, but not year-round.

[Brian Anderson @briyanandersen]

@DavidDack I lose about 30 seconds per mile on the treadmill, RPE-wise. Road running is much easier for me.

[Brian Anderson @briyanandersen]

@ChrisMasterjohn That what abstracts are for.

[Brian Anderson @briyanandersen]

The second study also shows a synergy when combining the two. “This clinical trial deduced that the combined daily use of L-arginine with tadalafil therapy for elderly male patients with ED could significantly increase the SHIM scores and levels of total testosterone in comparison to L-arginine, or tadalafil alone.”

[Brian Anderson @briyanandersen]

@ChrisMasterjohn The first study you cite combined both. “This study aimed to evaluate the effect of daily oral l-arginine plus tadalafil in diabetic patients with mild to moderate erectile dysfunction.”

[Brian Anderson @briyanandersen]

@stevemagness Yet the mile record still stands.
