@Captain7bag 👋

I’m at the point now that I’m wondering: will anyone care about the modes of pacing variation producing MMP data?

In moments like these, it's never clearer that the majority of political commentators don't have values - they have allegiances Very few 'commentators' are actually consistent and coherent in their arguments. Instead, they adopt whatever narrative suits their tribe at the time

@StephenSeiler I genuinely try and help editors as let’s be honest it’s a crap job The issue is to review a paper I need to take that time directly out of my family or exercise time - the paper really needs to be good for me to want to do that

@spragg247 The centuries old peer review system is broken, or more correctly, totally outdated and overwhelmed. When you get these requests every single day, the selected response becomes no response.

Academia is bathsit Journal editor: Can you review this paper Me: no, sorry. No capacity at the moment & I'm not really in academia, so reviewing less & less. Try x,y,z Journal editor: You failed to properly respond to my email as you didn't click the link & select a response

yeah not going to waste a single secondmore trying to help you out here mate

40 days to ski season!!

Ah, it’s that time of year when Jeremy Clarkson reminds us that you don’t need academic qualifications to succeed in life. Just a very expensive education and high value social networks.

The challenge isn't shouting from the sidelines what everyone should be doing... The real challenge is being on the pitch and directly influencing the game

Super pleased to have my first PhD publication out on W'bal link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@DebevecTadej It would be dangerous for experienced climbers let alone the less prepared

It would be extremely dangerous for less experienced and less prepared climbers and trekkers to believe that the use of xenon would allow them to forgo proper physical and medical preparation and acclimatization when going to high mountain regions.

@Captain7bag @Spragg_Perform @peter__leo I talk about durability in terns of ‘acute ´ - ie within a session and ‘chronic’ ie across multiple days or sessions in the talks I give and within my day to day working environment

@Spragg_Perform @peter__leo for sports with same day multiple events or matches would durability still play a role in fatigued performance (in the second match or event) or would it be considered recovery?

Pleased to have my first research project from my PhD accepted for publication

@JanLauwers5 unfortuently not

@spragg247 Adjusting the time limit at the last minute is really nothing new.

Unpopular opinion... This is such a joke. The time limit has been known for months If teams cannot plan for this with performance strategies, then they should be at a disadvantage and in danger of their riders going home OTL.

@CrisHake @LoosDieter GC leaders were not faster than predicted; therefore, the goal is to find ways to get your sprinters and heavier riders within the time cut. This was possible with the 33% time cut if you were smart about it

@spragg247 @LoosDieter True. However: If the gc leaders are exceptionally fast than predicted this tour that they feared they would lose some sprinters, it makes sense

@Nyborger_Nybo Only 7 riders were outside the original time cut of 33% and I imagine those guys went easier than planned as a result of the change

@spragg247 well they didn't want the risk of having to kick out 80 riders - putting on perspective how large the gap is from the best to rest
