@100Climbs @tntsports There was free live coverage on you tube.

And now a fucking ad break. What an utter shit show @tntsports is. Wrecked cycling coverage. Took our money and wrecked it.

@ScienceExpand Exactly the sort of crazy shit I get to do at work whilst scating around the ‘safe manual lifting’ guidelines

@IntraRunner 1/2 bagel peanut butter half a banana on top then good to go

Morning pre-run fueling strategy: 5AM or earlier: Half a glass of water —> out the door 7AM or later: Water + A piece of toast or banana

The Most Dangerous Phrase in Midlife Fitness: “I Used To…” “I used to run faster.” “I used to lift heavier.” “I used to train every day.” I hear this constantly. In the office. In the gym. From people who still care deeply about being capable… yet are often injured. I always ask patients what sports they play. Not uncommonly, they’ll answer football or basketball. I’ll ask when they last did it… the answer is universally— in college or high school. Then a spark woke them up, and they tried to get back to the things they did 20-30 years ago. While that’s not impossible, it requires a far different approach. The problem isn’t remembering the past. It’s training as if the past is the standard you still have to meet. When training is anchored to past ability, the focus shifts away from adaptation and toward proving something. Over time, that almost always leads to frustration, injury, disengagement, and a visit to my office. Midlife isn’t about reclaiming an earlier version of yourself. That version lived in a different body, with different recovery capacity, different stress, and different biology. What you have now is a different body. Not a broken one. Not an inferior one. Just different. But one that is still able to adapt and achieve. The people who age well in sport and in life understand this sooner rather than later. They stop chasing intenisty volume for its own sake. They become more selective about intensity and focus on consistency. They leave room for recovery. They care less about what a workout looks like and more about what it allows them to do tomorrow. They aren’t lowering standards. They’re changing the rules… they’re adapting. For the longest time, I didn’t do this. I was working out in my late 50s as I did in my 20s… and I was often hurt or aching enough that the next day was a bust. The question stops being, “Can I still do what I used to do?” It becomes, “What do I need to do now to stay strong, capable, and independent ten years from today?” That shift isn’t quitting. It’s about choosing healthspan… and adapting to what the passage of time demands. —Howard

@Geniustechw Had exactly same happen to me. Driver on wrong side of road.

Whose mistake was this. The driver or the cyclist?

@mission753 @downingcycling 👍

Dean Downing, Rob Hayles and Tony Gibb, first, second and third at the British National Criterium Championship, Beverly 2008.

@tim_roozendaal I was always a Novablast fan and thought the nimbus 25 was too soft. The 27 is a great shoe though. Firmer and prefer to novablasts now

We are barely selling any nimbus because they have become too stiff for their purpose. Many pivot to the Novablast if they stay with ASICS but most move to the Saucony Triumph, New Balance 1080, or Mizuno Wave Sky

@brady_h Nimbus 27

You can only take one pair of running shoes when you travel. What do you take? For me right now, it’s the Asics Superblast 2. Swiss Army knife. Light and fast enough for speed work. Durable and cushioned enough for a long run. Fine for an easy shakeout too.

@runliftrunlift They are good. However I have to say I prefer my slightly firmer nimbus 27’s

Loving these shoes for putting in base miles. Perfect amount of cushioning and pop. The hot pink color has grown on me also.
