@carnivorlifter @AKoutnik @LoreofRunning1 @theplews1 @hiitscience @PhilipPrins11 @SBakerMD @BenBikmanPhD @nicknorwitz @sweatscience @ProfTimNoakes Sure Mark. I'll race you over a marathon. I will do a carb load of 600g on each Fri and Sat and then take 40g SIS Beta fuel gels every 30 mins, and you just eat your normal diet and take 10g per hour of carbs (1/2 a gel). I will win. You will struggle.

@AKoutnik @LoreofRunning1 @theplews1 @hiitscience @PhilipPrins11 @SBakerMD @BenBikmanPhD @nicknorwitz @sweatscience @ProfTimNoakes research suggested 10g per hour was optimal

Yet again...high carbohydrate intake did not produce better performance. A new study compared 40g vs 90g carbohydrate in three endurance exercise performance settings. In none of these performance scenarios did 90g outperform 40g. In one scenario, 40g outperformed 90g. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11… So what does this mean...it means yet another study does not demonstrate a carbohydrate dose response on exercise performance...in fact it shows that maybe lower relative carbohydrate intake may be better in some circumstances. Do what you want. Be informed.

@Hybridathlete Lots of big mile / time long runs at marathon pace. This is what he is lacking. Plus top end speed in the week. everything else should be 8.30 pace

A friend of a friend has been trying to BQ for about five years now. My friend told me that for the past 3 months, his coach has had him running 70mpw and foucsing on "speed work." He does his "easy" runs at ~8:00 pace. He just ran 3:15 on a 700' net downhill course. This guy has been running 50 to 70 mi a week for the past five years and his marathon time has fluctuated between 3:05- 3:20 with multiple DNFs along the way. This type of training is far more common than people realize. Yes he's working hard, but he's also just been spinning his wheels for five years and has made no progress. He's just beating himself into the ground day after day. I bet some of you reading this are simultaneously nodding your head and saying, "Yeah that's a stupid plan, how does he not see that?" while your training and (lack of) progress looks very similar but you don't even realize it, or choose to ignore it. I think too many people don't track their progress enough. They just put in work and focus on miles or volume or whatever. But if you're putting in all that work and you're not seeing clear measurable progress, that should be a massive red flag to stop, assess, and figure out why.

@NJ_Timothy Zia is the snake that will bring down Reform altogether.

Yes I condemn it. While you're here, why did you resign when Sarah Pochin proposed a burqa ban? When Reform MPs agreed with me on Trafalgar Square, why didn't you? Why did Nigel say he wants to ban all public prayer, but you don't? What’s your policy? x.com/ZiaYusufUK/sta…

@andrew_flatt @ACBPhysio Steady but your hr is hitting c.185 for the last 3-5 minutes? And you are spending 12 minutes of a 30 min session in zone 5? This is not steady.

@ACBPhysio This was steady the whole way.

Experiencing cardiovascular benefits of AE ~20 h later. A 30 min PR yesterday and a bump in standing HRV today.

@ZackPolanski Nigel Farage [was] asked BY [the] BBC news this morning if he'd debate with me. [He]Says he's too busy with the local elections & it will just be a "big row." I've been asking him for months. Someone's running scared? Vote Green. Fixed it - [You] retard.

@terrychristian @MeldrewVic98499 From the original post and this reply, they clearly didn't teach you about grammar.

@MeldrewVic98499 I didn't i went to anon fee paying 11 plus straight old fashioned all boys Catholic grammar . The school now is co-ed and went private years after i left . There fixed it for you

@fortelabs use text editor on Mac and save them to iCloud to be viewed on iPhone. Why do you need them as md files? for ai?

Can anyone recommend a dead simple, easy to use notetaking app based on markdown files? Obsidian is far too complicated for me. I'm looking for Apple Notes, but with markdown storage

@OB1473829 @RossMcCaff I ran one in 2.55 last week in manchester. Am I qualified to weigh in? The answer is, that I am. His tweet is correct mostly. Runna's marketing team has performed woefully this year. It's positioned itself very badly and its influencers have performed even worse.

@RossMcCaff Mental that a morbidly obese fella is weighing in on a topic about running marathons 😂

Hardest Geezer was 15 minutes off his planned time and *still* did the hashtag ad plugging the runna app. So too did a runfluencer who didnt even finish! Is this meant to be good publicity?

@matthewsyed The story is actually larger than you see. The story is actually Starmer's shocking poor judgement. If his judgement is this poor on the appointment of one person, then god knows that else he fails at.

The bandwidth sucked up by the Mandelson non-story is embarrassing. A minor appointment taken in what was perceived to be the national interest. Astonishing that the Westminster bubble is still obsessed but then tittle tattle started to define British politics a long time ago

@TheNorfolkLion I grew up in that area. my parents still live there. we are putting their house up for sale asap and moving them away. it's a total shit hole. The Indian population also hates and are also beginning to leave.

Notice how he slipped up by saying this was for the “Muslim community" before quickly correcting himself to "it’s not just for the Muslim community." They’re already making areas just for them.

@BrianSuttererMD I did my marathon PB last week in 2.55. My legs were fine, not cramping, not aching, but also sort of didn't really feel like my legs. Very robotic sensation. I fuelled well, days before and during my race. Training block was good. We're used to it. (not an elite!)

Serious question for the elite runners - do his legs even hurt? What’s he feeling physically down the stretch?

@marc02200 On numbers - yes. On reputation, no.

Sometimes I feel like putting my entire $25,000 emergency fund into $STRC and collect a 11,5% yearly dividend on it. Would you consider this a good idea?

@asaio87 And you own a web dev agency? Thanks for alerting me and others to never hire you! Jeez. If you give a monkey a hammer, it's not going to build a house I suppose!

I told Claude to build me a Trello replica By noon, I maxed out my $100 plan The app looks really terrible. I think I need thousands of prompts, a team, and several $200 subscriptions to create something useful. This isn't looking good for AI right now

@McrGreenParty what do your muslim constituents think about your views on this?

Transphobes are attacking everything we hold dear. Even a simple run in the park. The anti-trans lobby must not win 🏳️‍⚧️

@JamesMac_Fit if that is you in the profile picture, then you should already be capable.

Runners... I want your opinions. I'm curious how long you think it'll take for me to be able to run a 20 min 5km. I started running about 10 weeks ago. Recently got a 5k PB of 24:20. I'm 5 ft 7. 72.5kgs (if it matters lol) How long do you think it'll take?

@andrew_flatt I on the other hand wear my forerunner 965 correctly 24/7 (apart from charging) and feel that the trends are accurate. VO2 and lactate (different to HRV of course) have been lab tested and are within a very small tolderance. Frequency of wear and how you wear will effect.

@andrew_flatt Genuine question. Do you measure the wrist and make sure that the watch is on the same hole of the strap for the entirety of the study? Is it always worn in the same way by participants? My mum for example wears an Apple Watch so loose that it locks.

Early look at our ongoing comparison of Forerunner 265 vs H10 for HRV via Health Snapshot. Garmin overestimates lower HRV & increasingly underestimates higher HRV. Unsuitable for research, patient/athlete monitoring. Congrats to Kayla for completing her UG Honors project!

@SebJohnsonUK it's exactly like Steve Jobs said to the founder of Dropbox. It's not a business, it's just a feature. Apple or google will inevitably buy it for pennies.

What3words running a secondary sale in an 80% down round is absolutely criminal This company has burned through hundreds of millions of dollars and in the last year generated £2m of revenue. It's doing a crowdfund and a secondary sale valuing the company at £50m way down from its heights. £50m on £2m of revenue for a company that is 11 years old is still massively over valued.

@benbloomsport Society needs to do better and stop allowing for these people. They need help, not acceptance.

@benbloomsport The problem is that there are an incredibly small amount of people who are genuinely trans. Most are men with a kink acting out their fantasies, knowing that society will not beat them up. The only guy I see doing this in a local run club gets uncomfortably close to the kids.

Two distinct things can be true: 1. Women's sport must be protected. 2. Parkrun allows people to run with dogs/buggies. It's for everyone. It's not a competition. The suggestion that a trans runner is a threat to anyone's morning fun run is ludicrous. telegraph.co.uk/sport/2026/04/…
