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? π.
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

For the sake of Sport & Health Science, I can't help feel this excellent review should be mandatory reading (yearly) across all educational programmes (BSc, MSc, PhD etc.) . Chapeau @SportResearchEx and team ππ.
Review from my PhD Work: An Examination and Critique of Methods to Prescribe Exercise Intensity. Everything I know about exercise in ~9,000 words. Thanks to @BlueSpotScience, @robertpettitt.

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
Thanks @xabierartetxe for the 'coach face' nomination. Some candid π work attached. I nominate @MartinE1981_SC @ScottPollock36 @MehdiKordi @DrLenPS

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.

Incredible! π¨.
Had an outrageous ride in the IP today. Can't explain it. Good legs, fast kit and good conditions. Pushed the pedals real hard. #fullgas.

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts on the below question. Great spectrum of comments. 24hrs after posting, this webinar went up; .(IMO) Dr Paul Barratt gives an excellent account of applied science practice within elite sport. Well worth a β.π.

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.
