Unpopular truth (opinion): we probably reached just about the pinnacle of human endurance performance in the late 1980s or early 1990s. EPO then bent the curve, shattering records & forever altering our view of what is “good.” Now we’re in a similar era with plated shoes & bicarb, together worth about 4% on average. Athletes haven’t really gotten better even though they’re “faster.” This is where the obsession with records coincides with the decline in popularity of the sport. The clock is unnecessary in deciding titles. You can decide Olympic champions without knowing how fast they ran. But when the focus shifts to times when about the only means of improving them at the highest level are artificial, you’ve lost the soul and beauty of the sport.
Day 5 of swimming 1,000 miles around Iceland 🇮🇸 So sorry for the radio silence… my tongue is taking a battering from the saltwater 🙈 BUT… the Nordic gods of blessed us with good weather, so can’t complain ⚔️ #GreatIcelandicSwim
@hankfrank It's bit of a stupid question as the progression for running towards a 4 min mile is not linear. The difference between a 6 min/mile and 4 min/miles is nowhere near the difference between a 400lb and 600lb squat
An hour late due to a technical mishap!!!

@UKhotfoodchat The comments sum up how much these people know about park run. He's not a company director, he's an event director, of which there'll be about three for every single park run event
