good guy great guy

@StevenQuartz “A few hours of jogging” is a big tell you haven’t actually raced a marathon…

A few hours of jogging sounds tough - until you compare it to a 215 km cycling stage over 3 massive passes in the alps with 14,000 feet of climbing - and then you realize it's only day 2 of a stage race...

@MaxRockFalcon @jamesonhaslam Still waiting.

@mixedstein @jamesonhaslam C’mon, you BlackRock simps know the truth. How does it feel to outbid a single mother looking for a home? You vampires are something else.

somebody is going to disappear Ezra Klein for saying out loud that labor unions make housing unaffordable

@MabNightshade @martynschmoll @AlJenko98 @Boenau Big baby.

@martynschmoll @AlJenko98 @Boenau I hate winter. Can't wait to move to South America.

Make it convenient for lots of people to ride bikes, and lots of people will ride bikes.

@MaxRockFalcon @jamesonhaslam Please provide a citation for this verifiably false claim.

@jamesonhaslam Housing is unaffordable due to unrestricted foreign and corporate ownership and investment into single family homes. And neither sides talks about it…

@SobonBet @gryneos @lawlorlara @Boenau Also, it has literally never been 90 degrees and 98% humidity in New York.

@gryneos @lawlorlara @Boenau LOL, sure......

@SobonBet @gryneos @lawlorlara @Boenau Bet, do you not exercise? Driving to work + exercise is an inefficient use of time. An active commute is an efficient use of time because you kill two birds with one stone. I know from experience. Showers exist, you know!

@mattvanswol I don’t really understand the idea of saying. A particular percentage = a particular grade because the percentage you get on a given assignment is heavily dependent on the format, grading method, and difficulty.

When I was in school, a "B+" was a 92 and an "A-" was a 93-95. What was considered an A when you were in school?

So this “ultra running hybrid athlete-influencer” (who recently admitted to taking a totally WADA banned performance enhancing drug that you can’t even get a TUE for 💉)…is still on the #Cocodona250 #ultramarathon start list this week?

@BartomeoMatthew @brianmackenzie Couple things: They aren’t 4 inches tall. Road legal shoes are 40mm maximum stack height. Just read up on shoe tech from 2016 onward.

@brianmackenzie Were they trying to sneak on rides at DisneyWorld? Why is the sole 4 inches tall?

The elusion of progress. In 2016 Andre De Grasse ran the 100m exactly as Jesse Owen’s did in 1936. Same spikes, track, set-up. A top 3, 2016 sprinter could not beat the physiology of 1936 (10.3 100m). De Grasse ran a 9.89 in 2020. youtu.be/0GsH9IYF1UM?si…

@DaysPays @Predamame He didn’t get it right, looking back there was not a zero percent chance it was going to happen before he was 50. Obviously. It didn’t happen before he was 50, but given the leaps forward in show tech and nutrition the chance could not have accurately been described as zero.

@Predamame "I'm 39 (2013), there's a zero it happens before I'm 50" Well he did get that one right. But he lost the bet for his social security checks lol

Revisiting this one

Yeah. And we’re right.

@runcamille Don’t forget to add the race walking section to your competitors Wikipedia pages. It could read “unlike the great Camille Heron, an AuDHD legend, Courtney dauwalter has never attempted race walking because she is not as cool as Camille heron”

Here goes Camille 3.0 - walk to the moon 🦸‍♀️🚀🌖! I have’t been this excited about something since I was encouraged to try Ultrarunning!

@bhc3 @grumpy1111111 As someone who has been around the running internet for years, where is this mindset that rejects slow running? All I ever see is “run slow to get fast”. Which is clearly not the whole story.

@grumpy1111111 Absolutely. Slow runs can be be "a part" of the program, not THE program. I'm addressing a mindset that rejects any slow running.

Your periodic reminder that slow running is totally appropriate as a part of your training program. Here's 2:02 marathoner John Korir's morning run today. 9:14 pace!

CAR CULTURE every day on this site and IRL. "I follow the rules of the road. I mean, not the rules about 🤷‍♂️ speed 🤷‍♂️ tailgating 🤷‍♂️ traffic lights 🤷‍♂️ passing cyclists 🤷‍♂️ yielding at crosswalks 🤷‍♂️ or texting while driving. But I basically follow the rules of the road."

@CmlbUs @theryandreyer 1:28 is a decent but by no means brag-on-the internet worthy time.

@mixedstein @theryandreyer I meannn kind of

Zone 2 is not going to make you fast. Running fast makes you fast. This morning’s workout: - 10x 30 sec hard on 60 sec recovery - 25 mins total Home before my kids woke up.

@shagbark_hick Twenty nine palms? San Bernardino? Stay in upstate New York,those places suck.

California is one case where being from Upstate NY really shines. If I moved there today, the taxes and laws would feel "normal" to me, except I'd be chilling in the sun instead of getting 10+ feet of snow. People are way friendlier, food is great. It's just a matter of getting up enough cash together to buy a place, but honestly, it's not that bad depending on where you go. If I sold both my houses here in NY I could probably afford Twentynine Palms, Barstow, Imperial Valley, Bakersfield. Could maybe afford a condo in San Bernadino or even closer to LA. It'd be a nice life compared to what's on offer in Upstate NY, and there'd be no real "adjustment" to the suite of nutty laws in taxes that come with life in California. As a NYer, I'm already dealing with worse in many ways.

@CmlbUs @theryandreyer Is this supposed to be impressive?

@theryandreyer I ran a 1:28 half marathon with zero speed work lol

@SonnyBunch Geography/transportation costs + taxes + regulations. That’s why.

I do sometimes wonder if Californians ever ponder why their gas is INSANELY more expensive than gas anywhere else in America I've ever lived.

@CathyYoung63 Imagine that he made a whole movie about how ridiculous it is to call him racist, then tweeted this.

Yeah Matt is just openly racist now - surprise, surprise
