Dang good interview
It’s important that you understand what happened last night. Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue. In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened

Seems like a good time to repost this one too.
@Alan_Couzens 4x4 sessions were never a "Norwegian thing". It was a sales pitch from two people purporting to be sport scientists. They also sold a 4 x 4 strength training model. Olympiatoppen colleagues in Norway have said that this sales pitch "damaged" two birth years worth of juniors.

Seems like a good time to repost this. Fascinating topic!
“We can fantasize about the punishment, but do we want to carry it out in the real world? That's the decisive moment.” Revenge feels instinctive. When we seek vengeance, it can seem as if we're balancing the scales, restoring order, making things right. But the pleasures of

Listen to World champion Josh Kerr: “I don’t do crazy workouts or crazy mileage. I just don’t miss days. Consistency is my biggest weapon. I’ll break any athlete down with how consistent I’m going to be training wise and just getting the work done.”

I do think that we sometimes get stuck in a dichotomy—fast-twitch vs. slowtwitch—when there are actually three fiber types we're working with: type I, type IIa, and type IIx. I think @Gareth_Sandford was right to include the 3rd group—hybrids.
Hybrid type (B⬇️) • Moderate maximal aerobic speed • High maximal sprinting speed • Moderate anaerobic speed reserve • Intermediate muscle fiber dominance Example: Raheem Stirling (England⚽/Man City)

This is an interesting topic and something I've been chewing on a lot lately. https://t.co/FJV8aFvB4J
@stevemagness I don't agree with this at all. ALL my HS buddies were faster than me in a sprint. They were cricket, rugby, tennis players. Luke Warhurst beat Hobbs in a 60m Shot putters are faster than 1500m runners in a 40m. Rich Kenah (1.43 800 man) and John Godina raced, and John won.

Been thinking about this lately since LCHF seems to be making a comeback and there seem to be folks in the scientific community defending LCHF even for endurance performance. Not all carbs are created equal. Some are healthier than others.
I cringe when I hear poor nutriton advice like”avoid starchy veggies, they’ll promote spikes in insulin📈leading to fat gain”. 🤦♀️ 🚫No one ever got fat from eating too many veggies or🍉. What does make people fat?🤔 ⚖️Too. Many. Calories . I.e. energy surplus. Eat the darn 🌽

🚨BREAKING: Video shows ICE agents shooting an unarmed person, as agents wrestle the person to the ground, in Minneapolis, near Glam Doll Donuts. You can then see agents open fire on the man’s body as he lies motionless on the ground. This just happened. More details to come.

This is quite an exchange with @DavidAFrench about whether we are witnessing the emergence of a "dual state."

And granted, creatine has so many other benefits that go beyond sports performance that it might be worth taking it anyway. But maybe be careful about claiming it's going to benefit endurance performance until we know more 🤷♂️
Creatine isn’t just for athletes. A growing body of scientific evidence now shows creatine helps preserve muscle during aging, maintains bone density, improves cognition (especially during stress), and speeds muscle recovery after intense exercise. To explore the mechanisms,

And frankly, I could even see creatine being beneficial for athletes racing 1:30–6min (800m to mile in track) because they involve a significant contribution from beyond your aerobic system. But will it help with race performance beyond 3k??? Not sure about that 🤔

Of course this makes sense, right? Because creatine phosphate is how your body cycles ATP ... for a short-duration activity. And storing more of it seems to help with short sprints and explosive movements—in the range of seconds though, not minutes.

All right, so I struck out. I can't find anything anywhere that shows creatine supplementation helping with endurance sports performance. It looks like there are proposed mechanisms and ideas about how it *might* help performance, but nothing showing an actual improvement.
And then there's this meta: "Creatine monohydrate supplementation was shown to be ineffective on endurance performance in a trained population."

Heck at this point, I'd take even a cycling or XC skiing study—anything that shows endurance performance @Brady_H

“One day, Kramer said, she would like to qualify for the Olympics.” And now Kendall Kramer is headed to her first Olympic Games in Nordic skiing.
The balance of cross country and nordic skiing have helped Kendall Kramer become one of the best athletes in state history.
