People with ME/CFS have no effective treatments and are often left desperate for anything that might help. Please read George’s article to understand more about the history.

Why #MECFS is so misunderstood. A quick history lesson from neurological in the 60s to being reframed as psychological and fear of exercise. Treatments were only withdrawn recently after patients reported harm.

Brett Lee ran 20 steps before he bowled.

Shoaib Akhtar ran 23.

James Anderson runs 15.

Jasprit Bumrah runs 8.

He still hits 145 km/h. The reason is not training. It's anatomy.

Here's the thread on how Bumrah's body bends the physics of fast bowling:

[Rox @talktorox]

@kamzuha1 yes!

best way is to do: 3 runs in a week

mix of tempo runs, intervals and long run.

interval run improve speed. tempo run build endurance.

[Rox @talktorox]

here's the lesson buried in this story.

talent didn't break the 2 hour barrier. data did.

Sawe knew exactly what his body could do because his team measured it for a year.

the future of human performance belongs to people who understand their own bodies first.

that's the bet behind @talktorox.

[Rox @talktorox]

imagine running a single mile in 4 minutes 33 seconds.

now imagine doing that 26 times in a row without slowing down once.

that's what Sabastian Sawe did yesterday at the London Marathon.

26.2 miles in 1 hour 59 minutes 30 seconds. The first legal sub 2 hour marathon in human history.

here's the full story.

[Rox @talktorox]

in a marathon, your body burns energy faster than your stomach can absorb new fuel.

that's why runners "hit the wall" around mile 20.

most marathoners can absorb 60 to 90 grams of carbs per hour.

Sawe trained his gut for months to handle 115 grams per hour. almost double the average.

@Lozaphant Crazzyy! 10k coming sooon

The fastest growing fitness sport was invented by a retired hockey Olympian who got bored.

Today, that sport has 500,000 racers across 30 countries, Puma and Red Bull as sponsors.

It became the world's most innovative companies list.

The story of how Hyrox happened is wild.

Moritz Fürste was a 3x Olympic medallist in field hockey.

Christian Toetzke had spent 20 years organising marathons and triathlons.

They saw a gap nobody else had.

CrossFit was intimidating. Marathons were boring. Most gym-goers had nowhere to compete.

Their insight was simple:
Design a race where 99% of people finish. Make every event identical so your time in Mumbai is comparable to someone's time in Berlin.

8km of running. 8 functional stations in between. Sled pushes, burpees, wall balls, rowing.

That was the whole thing.

The fastest growing fitness sport on the planet was a design problem two guys finally solved.
