@feelthebyrn1 Seems all TSS isn't created equal and, at least for me, HrTSS is significantly greater than power TSS for same session. I did 380 TSS (power) for an 8.5hr event in the Alpes with 5000m elevation. No HrTSS number but would be far higher, on experience

Inflation in Turkey. Seven years ago 55,000 lira got you a car. Today it gets you a phone.

Davutoglu still thinks he's prime minister

[Ahmet Davutoğlu @A_Davutoglu_eng]

I convey my condolences for the death of the Queen Elizabeth II to the Royal family and to the British nation.

Congratulations to Prince Charles, who ascended the throne as King Charles III.

Anadolu says it did a deep dive into Turkish export data to come up with these numbers, which show the success of Turkey's foreign policy

[Mark Bentley @MarkABentley]

Turkish exports to Russia surge to all-time high - state media

Noticed this was the top news item on Anadolu's Turkish news website a few mins ago, but can't even be found on its economy page now

Foreign money also flowing into Turkish stocks. Would be ironic if foreigners help save Erdoğan/the lira's ass while he welcomes oligarchs and plays pally with Putin

[Mark Bentley @MarkABentley]

Why are Turkey's stocks rallying to record levels? Well, there's nothing else that makes a profit (bonds, Bitcoin) and it's 'blood money' for Erdoğan refusing to sanction Putin

@Alan_Couzens That's reassuring. In the last test, my fat oxidation dropped off a cliff face at 128bpm (73% HR max)

@EliasLehtonen Check this out. The champion bodybuilder who claims to do cardio :)

@06JAnk Some might argue it's the same thing

@advherk @AxelCorlu Well there was the small matter of Ocalan being found at the Greek embassy in Nairobi some years back

@emeyersson Isn’t she a little ‘backward’ or is it me?

Turkish interest rates on business loans dive after central bank action

The biggest Turkish rate cut is here. More arm twisting of banks, who must be swimming in a quagmire of regulatory changes

@DanStrigberger @Alan_Couzens Training at CTL would reduce your CTL, unless you trained every day at CTL, in which case it would not change

@irishpeloton Green is probably about right - nearly every ‘mountain’ in Britain is basically a field or a wooded hillock

A travesty. It seems other institutions in Turkey are developing the same affliction as the Presidency, Finance Ministry and Central Bank

[Ayla Jean Yackley @aylajean]

We were a year too late. A plaque says it was restored in 2021 by the provincial authority. It now looks like this. (First pic mine, second from the interwebs because I didn’t have the heart to walk down for the full view.)

@Alan_Couzens What would be considered a good, very good and exceptional EF for work at LT1?

Istanbul inflation hits 99.9 percent

@ToddPearson12 @Alan_Couzens You can go into the desktop version of TP and delete any dodgy HR or power readings field by field
