@HankFrank@ChiMarathon What I find the most impressive is not the track workout, but the 75min easy at 200w on the zwift haha. I just bought a zwift ride and my wattage is embarrassing. It's only 130w for an hour and my legs feels like they are on fire haha.
@Brady_H I just run an ultra and averaged 110 grams per hour. I take a gel every 20min. A mix between beta fuel gels and some precision nutrition gels. I also have a carb and electrolyte drink mix with 40g I am to consume every 90min. The drink mix gets hard to sustain due to the sweetnes
@Brady_H I have a 100 mile ultra Saturday 6am and I will be trialing it for the race. It says to take 3hrs before exercise. Since my race starts at 6am this won't be happening. Do you have any experience on taking it the night before bed and then an hour before a run?
@Alan_Couzens What do you class as zone 1 and zone 2? My "zone 2" is 120bpm to 138bpm. My fat Max is at 120bpm and my LT1 is at 138bpm so I try to keep my JR around 130bpm average for my easy runs. Is that about the right zone?
@Alan_Couzens do you do online coaching? If so, how do I go about signing up? Looking to run a few 100 mile ultras. Commited to training hard and will follow a plan to the letter. Thank you for your time
@hjluks Without a scan is it possible to differentiate between a tendon issue or a tensor fasciae latae strain? I developed lateral hip pain 90km into an ultramarathon and had to stop. I also have one leg shorter than the other. The injury developed on the longer leg side.
Final holiday giveaway!

@WillHarrisAOAF Also would it be over like a 3 fight a year contract? Would have to be surely. That'd be 100k a fight for fight pass prelim guys. Regardless I hope they get paid. Putting there health on the line every time they fight deserves compensation. Im just speaking from a business
@WillHarrisAOAF I love this. I want these guys to get paid. I don't think $500k a year to new fighters on fight pass is quite warranted. I'd love to see them get minimum 300k though, and have the top guys get slightly more. I may get roasted for that but it's just my opinion.
@DustinPoirier what an amazing career. Thank you for all you gave to the sport. The last of a dying breed. Enjoy your retirement, be safe and take care.
@BjjTip@alexvolkanovski Still, the stats against fighters 35+ in title fights in the lower weight classes is definitely significant and not worth overlooking. A stat that i was well aware of going into Volks last fight. Very happy he was able to be the outlier.
Enjoy the fights and have a great day
I want to tackle a nonsense claim.
"Natural is Safer"
Sounds comforting, right?
But it’s based on fear, not facts.
It’s tempting to think that because natural substances have been around for billions of years, they’re inherently safe, while synthetic chemicals are not. But this reasoning doesn’t hold up under scrutiny.
Let’s break it down:
→ It implies that “natural” = “safe.”
→ That synthetic chemicals are harmful because they’re "new".
The truth?
→ Nature doesn’t care about your safety.
Arsenic, cyanide, and botulinum toxin are 100% natural. And deadly.
Meanwhile, many synthetic chemicals are inspired by nature, like life-saving insulin or penicillin.
Here’s a perfect example:
Natural and synthetic vitamin C are chemically identical.
↳ Whether from an orange or a lab, both are ascorbic acid.
↳ Your body can’t tell the difference - processed exact same way.
What actually matters?
↳ The dose makes the poison.
→ It’s not about whether a substance is “natural” or “synthetic.”
→ It’s about how it’s used and how much you’re exposed to.
Whether a substance is ancient or newly created doesn’t determine its safety.
↳ Science, testing, and proper use do.
@GK1Spurs1882@financedystop Definitely a consistent way of making money. I've been doing it for 13 years. Too many people have no idea what they are talking about
