@AEROBATIX @DanPainter @rushicrypto BS. Insurance only won't pay if the speed caused the accident or if it was gross negligence. I'm German and have worked with car insurance over there.

@DanPainter @rushicrypto Not in Germany, it's basically at your own risk and consequence, the cutoff is not a real number tho, I put 120mph, they can deny you at 100 too, depends on what happened. If you pop a tire and total the car, you don't get a new car from them. But none of it is illegal.

@DiBrander There are better ways than maxing out. Look into an FTHr/FTPa test for running (Joe Friel). The zones you get are spot on.
English
To those who have tested their max heart rate, how long did you run for?
I watched a video that recommended running 3 minutes per zone (zones 1-5).
Not gonna lie, at this stage of unfitness, running 3 minutes at full pelt fills me with dread 😂

Got a new toy. Wet weather lunch break. Will be reading up on HRV and stuff.

@Math_files I teach languages. If you can't explain something in a single sentence, it's not trivial.
English
A professor is explaining something in class and when he gets to one part of the proof he says "this is trivial so I won't bother explaining it."
A student comes up after class and says "professor, that part you said was trivial, I don't quite see it, could you explain it for me?"
He starts to explain it, gets stuck, stops, tries again, gets stuck, stops. Eventually the student has to get to her next class so they agree to follow up at the next lecture tomorrow.
The following day the professor tells the student "I stayed up all night working on this and can confirm it is indeed trivial!"

@Anton_Karlssson @Alan_Couzens I've been wondering about that for while! I use a Polar watch and H10. Polar gives an estimate of the %, but I don't think this is very reliable.
English
What metrics would you recommend tracking during base training to assess whether you’re making progress, assuming you don’t have access to metabolic testing?
Would the primary indicator be in the relationship between HR and power/pace, or are there other key markers you consider especially useful?
English
Put another way...
An elite cyclist/triathlete with a well-developed base can ride at 200W and fuel almost all of the energy from fat 🔥, leaving their precious glycogen stores untouched & ready for hard training.
OTOH, many recreational amateurs will be burning through 600kcal of glycogen per hour at this level! Significantly decreasing their capacity for the harder training.
Build that #base first!
Alan Couzens@Alan_Couzens
Zone 1 is an investment. It builds your fat-burning engine and expands your energy reserves. Zone 3/4 is a withdrawal. It spends from that reserve. Want your hard training to actually work? Build the reserve first. #Base
English
@Hybridathlete Depends on who you are. Breaking 20:00 at age 60 is quite a thing, even with good mileage. It's a whole lot different from when you're 20, 30, 40, and even 50. How do I know? I started running in my 20s and I'm 60 now.
English
A sub 20:00 5k doesn't require elite genetics, but for many, it does require consistency and time.
Not a ton, but more than most are willing to commit to.
English
@Alan_Couzens I was told that at 59, I should run like 5h/week. I would like to hear your take on this, @Alan_Couzens . I'm more like 9-10h/week at this time.
English
No time → no high performance.
That’s endurance sport.
If time is limited, the goal shifts to health & fitness.
Your training should shift too.
English
@Brady_H I'm taking longer on my runs, so you can be damn sure I invest a bit more when it comes to shoes and clothes. But you have no business telling people what they should or shouldn't buy.
English
PSA
Unless you’re fast, you have no business wearing expensive running clothing.
Steve Magness@stevemagness
There's a phenomenon in running that applies to the rest of the world: It's the beginner runners who deck themselves out in all the gear. They try to look the part they've been sold. As they gain experience, they ditch most of the gear. And show up with the basic necessities.
English
@Hybridathlete Great post! Thanks. How would you go about losing some? I mean, I'm about 22-23%. So losing some flab would be good, and at 59, this is pretty hard. I found very easy until I hit 50, then it started becoming very hard.
English
Most "overtraining" in endurance sports is just under-eating.
If you're serious about performance, I highly reccomend tracking your food and bodyweight for at least a month to make sure you're eating as much as you can and should be.
Here's how to do it:

@VargasKevi23363 I've been teaching for nearly 40 years. All "hard-to-handle" students I've had turned out to be brilliant minds. They just don't fit into the frame where most want to squeeze them in. Every single one of them was exceptional, but most teachers couldn't or wouldn't handle them.

Doy clases particulares de matemáticas. Llevo cinco años en esto, he tenido todo tipo de estudiantes y ya creía que nada me sorprendía.
Hace dos meses me contactó una señora pidiendo clases para su hijo de dieciséis años. Me dijo que había reprobado el año y que era "difícil de tratar." Que varios profesores ya lo habían devuelto.
Acepté. No soy de los que devuelven estudiantes.
La primera sesión el muchacho llegó, se sentó, puso los audífonos y me miró como diciéndome "a ver cuánto aguantas."

@Bbmorg My view changed when I had to live there, quite some time ago. They're extremely ignorant and arrogant. Most know nothing about the world (outside the US) and lash out at you when you tell them. In their view, if your opinion differs, you are the enemy.

JUST IN - Trump orders the U.S. Navy to blockade the Strait of Hormuz to "any and all ships trying to enter, or leave." Also instructing the U.S. Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in international waters that has paid a toll to Iran: "No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas."

@InternetH0F As a teacher, I need to be fair, with him and the others. That means, I can’t “just give him 11 points” because it’s unfair with those who worked hard. But I can ask him to study a topic for evaluation. I can even let him choose the topic. Those 11 points should be easy to get.

@real_EBS_ @stevekhalar Good. We were planning a trip to Spain, but will re-direct to a country who appreciates the United States.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! President Trump is now CUTTING OFF all trade with Spain after their leftist PM said to not use bases in their country to strike Iran
"Spain has absolutely nothing we need...we're gonna cut off ALL TRADE with Spain. We don't want ANYTHING to do with Spain."
FAFO!🔥

@timecaptales There is no "Canadian Rise" as a standard term in linguistics. Linguistically, there is "Uptalk" or HRT (High Rising Terminal) and is not only a Canadian thing. There is, however, "Canadian Raise", but that's about diphthong pronunciation (/aɪ/ and /aʊ/).

@Alan_Couzens @Alan_Couzens , what do you think of FTHr/FTPa tests for those who can't really afford a lactate meter? I'm asking because where I live, a common worker would have to work at least 5 months just to buy a lactate meter.
English
On tech…
The real purpose of lactate meters, metabolic carts, HR monitors, etc?
To tell you:
“Yes… you really do need to train that easy.”
Without it, most athletes never figure that out.
English
@Alan_Couzens Me, when I tell fellow runners with a 10k best of 59:47 doing "recovery" runs at a faster pace than they did in their race. Yes, this is real.
English
See, the thing is...
Athletes who use "gadgets" develop much better feel.
Because the feel becomes calibrated.
An athlete who has never tested lactate before that you tell to go for an "easy" run under their first threshold will be completely wrong 99.9999% of the time.
Sometimes, it's really wrong, like 3-4 mmol/L levels of wrong!
An athlete, with a long history of lactate testing, however, will nail this point with 99.999% accuracy.
It's not gadgets or feel it's gadgets + feel in a never-ending loop of self-knowledge and self-improvement.
Alan Couzens@Alan_Couzens
I'm traveling internationally later this week. If my pilot gets on the intercom and says... "I'm done with gadgets, I'm gonna fly by feel today" I'll be getting off that plane.

@s1nkyourteeth Concert = when the guys play music.
Show = when the guys play music and dance, have visuals, storytelling, theatrical elements, etc.
The difference is very hard to understand for native speakers of Latin languages, like Portuguese.
English
english people learn that words mean different things in different languages challenge because ‘concert’ is actually the right word for a live music performance in some languages (incl polish, where you translated the tweet from) whether its a 100 cap bar or a 50k cap stadium
𝕯𝖆𝖟𝖟@Dazzshallperish
I think we need to accept that anyone who calls them "Concerts" should be ignored.
