@StephenSeiler @huund Maybe I’ve been not pushing sufficiently! I don’t have HR info from my younger days but in the last sprint races (1-2k) and with a max HR at 172, I was at 165 for the middle bit and then HRMAX 172 for the last 250m. I suppose blood lactate only reached 10 at last 1min?

@huund @ratcliri The first 40 seconds are definitely not free! They FEEL ok, but already by 90-100seconds in, they are at VO2 max. A fast start is critical though to be able to see the other boats and not get caught in their oar wash

4 boats smashing 40 strokes a minute for 3 spots in the A final……6 minutes of hell….and the commentator talks about being “in threshold” at the halfway mark. 😩😩

@StephenSeiler Thanks for the reply.

@ratcliri No rower rows a single stroke at “threshold” power in a competitive 2000meter race. Their blood lactate is already 10mM plus after 500meters and inches up from their at a race pace that is essentially VO2 max+

@SamTBaron @RichardJMurphy A Tory bot

Three weeks ago, seven constituencies voted for Labour MPs. Today, they no longer have them because Starmer has suspended their MPs. Is there anything remotely democratic about what he has done?

@RichardJMurphy They are still MPs.. and can continue to vote and represent their constituents. Please don’t use hateful inflammatory language/ lies. What has happened is that the whip has been suspended for not following the whip’s guidance. Parties have rules alas.

Special relationship ? This guy is a clown. A dangerous one.

@UKAUSVeteran Saluting the rank/ position…

The $1 billion Russian slush fund operating in the heart of London 🧵This startling investigation by @dossier_center and @FT exposes a worrying relationship between Kremlin-linked tycoons, sanctioned state-owned Russian arms company, and British elite.

@StephenSeiler not sure if understood the paper that you linked the other day on BLa vs rest period? Is it that you need to keep these as short as possible ie 1-1 and capped at say 3min? In order for I keep the BLa at target level and gain the best result?

@BorisJohnson They didn’t axe it They renamed it, you bumbling fuckwit.

@StephenSeiler Just to make sure I understand the implications, 2-4min intervals at 90% of max HR with max 2-3 min rest maintains BLa while allowing HR to recover?

I often use the phrase "quasi steady-state" to describe specific physiological responses during an interval training session, like blood lactate, or even heart rate if rest duration is very short. The blood lactate equilibrium depends on the rest interval duration. The prescription probably constrains power/pace towards that quasi steady state. This new study of different interval sessions in swimming provides nice example data! digitalcommons.wku.edu/ijes/vol17/iss…

Change. Vote for it. Vote Labour on Thursday 4 July.

Mick Lynch "Nigel Farage is a racist." RT if Mick is right.

This time next week, the country has a choice. Five more years of chaos under the Tories. Or a chance to rebuild with a Labour government. But change will only happen if you vote for it. Vote Labour on Thursday 4 July.

Tory MP Philip Davies put a £8k bet on himself to lose. This is what we found when we dug into his and his wife Esther McVey’s finances

This clip is not allowed to be broadcast in the UK. It is considered political. You are fucking right it is political - because it tears apart EVERY lie we are told here. Austerity was based on a bad excel sheet. The morons HAVE to go.

Change will only happen if you vote for it.

John Oliver's brilliant call to arms for the British people has been banned from our TV screens here in the UK...so best not share this anywhere okay?

You have been threatened with rejoining the EU. Like if you would like it. RT if you would love it.

Do you want five more years of the same? Or do you want change? Change will only happen if you vote for it. Vote Labour Thursday 4 July.
