RunningExplained

Congratulations, Boston Marathoners!! But ahem... 😉

Hey cycling/running folk, I know you're busy trying to smash a Strava segment, and don't want gel making your pockets sticky, but FFS don't just sling the sachets. These 5 were on just a short section of the Lune cycle path in Lancaster. 🤬

This is what always occurs. Someone gets caught cheating. They claim they did it only once. They stay silent. It's cowardice. Own up to it. Name names, help anti-doping bodies uncover how doping occurs. Make amends by helping the sport be better. nzherald.co.nz/sport/kiwi-oly…

I have decided to further raise awareness of the impacts RED-S has had on me both physically and mentally with this new podcast Check out my podcast, Running with RED-S, on @forpodcasters! anchor.fm/jake-smith-reds Also catch it on Spotify under heading - “running with RED-S”

This paper on cold immersion recently went viral, because it seems to indicate that cold water can improve many facets of human health! Except, the paper shows PRECISELY THE OPPOSITE OF THAT A 🧵 1/n

Let's address three topics that are trending in the so-called health, wellness, and performance space: 1) Cold plunges 2) Eliminating coffee 3) Cutting out alcohol As always, no hype or motivated reasoning. Just the facts. Buckle up:

During #AerobicBase building, your pace & duration should rise *naturally* over time for the same effort. If it feels like it's getting harder, week to week, you're progressing too fast.

@JonasZakaitis @hjluks @Drlipid Very common in athletes with a history of low energy availability and eating disorders (probably the explanation half of the time in the bloodwork we see). Hypercholesterolemia is a weakly understood side effect of RED-S, particularly in female athletes 🙏

I’ve seen far too many podcast roundups these days only including male hosts. Only to realize I too mostly listen to male hosts. Drop your female hosted podcast recs here please!

Good enough is usually good enough. Good enough over and over again—that's how you get to great. Culture loves heroic efforts. Heroic efforts are how you burnout. Great outcomes love consistency. Consistency is how you play the long game. Here are 7 habits for consistency:

The Ethiopian women working together, talking while running 69 and 70 second laps is GOALS.

Women supporting women. The American marathoners suffered together & celebrated together at @WCHoregon22. A particularly special moment to have the legend Joan Benoit Samuelson at the finish line to congratulate the women who've followed in her footsteps. 📸: @Justin_Britton

Aerobic capacity, not speed, is usually the limiting factor in how fast you can race, even for a distance as short as the 5K. bit.ly/3RxyatX

If you’re watching the World Champs this week and you’re typically a fan of certain events, I encourage you to watch another event you normally don’t. Find an athlete, follow them, be a new fan. Same for athletes and agents. We do this, we start to grow. We expand our community.

100% this!!

One of the most important convos I've had yet! "Clean Eating", Food Rules, & Orthorexia in Runners with Kelsey Pontius, RD, out now on the podcast! anchor.fm/runningexplain…

Instead of labeling strength work as cross-training or part of the "little things" we do as runners, let's reframe it as "training." It's part of what we all need to achieve our best. Strength training is not a "nice to do"... it's a MUST DO!

Really nice example of the interplay between training stress and life stress. High intensity efforts represent a completely different level of stress for those athletes that also have high levels of life stress. In situations of high life stress, keep training eazzzzy!
