Just a reminder that the #VO2max on your watch is not a true VO2max, but an estimation from your pace v heart rate data.

Your pace v heart rate data will likely look better to your watch when you do a lot of high intensity training, especially if you have a poor aerobic base.

This can lead to erroneous & dangerous conclusions regarding the benefit of high intensity training.

One runner, after finishing his loop and dropping, cooked an egg burrito while showering. Like, took a camp stove and skillet into the shower, cooked the eggs, etc., and ate the tortilla. In the shower. #BM100

Lastly, have fun and enjoy the experience!

Running in the mountains can bring so much joy. I personally can’t wait for my next trip to the Alps. However, there are a few things you should keep in mind when preparing for a run in the mountains. 🧵

Fourth, let someone know where you are going and when you expect to be back. This is especially important if you are running solo. In the event that something happens, it’s good to have someone who knows where you are and can come looking for you.

Draadje: Deze plaatjes geven dus het probleem aan. Op een relatief klein stukje land wordt enorm veel mest geproduceerd. En waarom is dat nu zo'n probleem?

Zo ziet onbenut arbeidspotentieel er echt uit.

Depth of understanding:

- I have been told
- I have been shown
- I have done
- I have demonstrated
- I have taught someone else

@ultrasignup Enjoy, lean back and enjoy the views.

@altini_marco I always use 1-10 with a description/cue in terms of how it should feel. It looks more intuitive. The provided cues are appreciated by my athletes, at least in the beginning.

Runners, do consider enrolling in this research. It will certainly improve the science of running (especially if you are a mountain or trail runner).

[Guillaume Millet @kinesiologui]

@LIBM_lab is launching the Trainimm study: 1-yr follow-up of all runners (road, trail, track, mountain) through a mobile app 👉https://t.co/zJnSWwUoN1 🇬🇧🇫🇷🇪🇸
GOAL: To investigate the relationships btw #training, #performance & #injuries
#fatigue #sleep #mileage #stress #running

Adventure > pace goals

[David M @davidmellyruns]

The weirdest thing about trail running is that you can run a 6 minute mile and a 23 minute mile on the same run and that’s normal

[Erik van Kempen @erikvankempen]

@Alan_Couzens Exactly. And if guided by HR, keep in mind that HR can be heavily influenced by sleep, recovery, work stress, family issues, etc.

@altini_marco You should try magic truffles. 😉 Haha
