No amount of "mental toughness" will make up for a lack of physical preparation.

@EliudKipchoge can you share the 60 values that are on your board at your camp?

@bikesnobnyc Dont let that draft go to waste 😂

You don't need to add fitness every single day.

You just need more days, weeks, months of fitness gain than fitness loss over the long term.

Take recovery when you need it.

Play the long game.

[Alan Couzens @Alan_Couzens]

There are 4 key workouts that ALL humans should do regularly, regardless of sport or ability level:

Long - challenge the metabolism
Strong - challenge the muscles
Fast - challenge the nervous system
Recovery - challenge the ego.

@scullion262 Nice! I think a lot of runners in the US can learn something from this approach! Thanks

[Chad Beyer @thachad]

@scullion262 saw your 2.09 marathon result and started digging through your training on Strava. Do you post all your runs? Impressive result off of lower, yet very quality, mileage

[Alan Couzens @Alan_Couzens]

👏

There is no universal "best program".

Monitor each individual athlete and *their* best program will appear.

[Gareth Sandford @Gareth_Sandford]

You have limited energy to spend

And many training options.

Be critical with those choices,

Tests assumptions and regularly recalibrate.

The last two years of events has given @Gladwell enough to write about for the rest of his life

I'm pretty excited to watch the next couple stages of the Tour de France. It's going to be interesting
