A typically excellent podcast from @DrMarkBurnley getting into the speed-/power-duration relationship across various animals. A particular highlight; .". you can put a [pulmonary gas exchange] mask on a bird, but it's really hard to get a seal. ". #PunIntended? πŸ‘.

Now online. A really fascinating chat on critical speed in Humans, Birds, Fish, Desert Iguanas, Ghost Crabs, Dogs, Horses and Lungless Salamanders and more. Crabs and humans have similar critical speed relationships!. Thanks @DrMarkBurnley. Spotify (, etc

Nice @ConorTay. That nomination is a very liberal use of the term "coach" [face]. I was surprised I had any pics to share of myself, but found a few looking back. Now then, let's expect some proper coaching faces from: @simonwattsy @spbarrett9 @JoeHewitt10 & @twstanton

If the limits of human achievement interest you, #FreeSolo is a gripping docu-film (pun intended). @tommycaldwell1 summarised it perfectly: 'it's like competing at the Olympics for Gold, but if you don't win the Gold, you die.'. Serious #HumanPerformance.

24hours to go on this poll. Interested in people's views on the role of an applied scientist in elite sport. It would also be great to hear comments & examples of "Other", irrespective of how sarcastic some of them might be!. #NotAllGlamour .#NotEverGlamour.
