I hope Michigan State basketball die hards and Tom Izzo are watching this. Enough with the built not bought bullshit.

@JamesYoder They've been there too much, it isn't as exciting for them

I talked to a group of 10 ‘UConn’ fans while waiting for brunch this morning
Found out they were all Indy locals that got a free ticket, a UConn shirt, and $100 to attend the game because UConn didn’t sell their Final Four ticket allotment
WTF kind of JV school is this?

Triathlons are a marker of a W2 Executive because they perfectly embody the spirit of “Pain for Pay” jobs
They don’t require much creativity, there’s no skipping steps, you just have to tolerate so much misery that your self worth becomes tied with how much misery you can withstand
Want to build mental toughness? Run a 5K sub 20 mins. It’s 90% as hard and 10x better for your body

So today, I’m thinking my one advantage of being an atheist is that finally I’m going to go to the gym and there’ll be virtually no cars in the parking lot, but no … it’s crowded. Wtf, y’all. Go to church!!!

To most sports teams out there, why can’t we post the cross?
This is cute and all with the eggs, but the holiday of Easter for Christians is the resurrection of Jesus Christ who died on the cross for us, not a bunny.
Small gesture that would go a long way

Happy Easter, Bears fans! 🐣

@CDavidE216 @paulb3rd Sadder thing would be only 200 followers. That means you're actually trying to get some, but not doing very well
English
Not even close to 6% body fat.
More like 10-12%.
Still an amazing athlete and physique.
Most people have zero clue what 6% body fat really looks like.
Lance Zierlein@LanceZierlein
306 pounds and 6% body fat.

Would Aaron Rodgers be the most talented QB in your franchise history?

@HankFrank Dude, you need to go study Ryan Hall. Look at what running did to his testosterone
English
No fuel. No water. 20 miles. Sounds insane right?
Look at the heart rate. 116 bpm average. This was an easy effort. At this intensity your body is primarily burning fat and the glycogen demand is low.
If you fuel and hydrate well the night before and morning of, you can absolutely get through 20 easy miles without eating or drinking mid run. Especially in mild weather.
Now if this was a tempo long run or a hard effort? Different story. You’d want fuel on board for anything over 90 minutes at intensity.
Should most people fuel on long runs? Yes. But the answer changes depending on effort level, pre-run nutrition, and weather. Context matters.
Brady Holmer@Brady_H
Long run on a Friday? Why not. Easy 20. No water. No fuel. I believe that’s what the kids today call “raw dogging it.”

@HankFrank More like because you love your balance and there's no reason to obsess over every little analytic.
English
Ditching wearables because they stress you out is like deleting your bank app because you don’t like your balance.
The information isn’t the problem. Your relationship with the information is.

For the past 6 months I've gotten away from using an Apple watch, Oura, Whoop, and any other type of wearable. I've noticed no changes in my physical health but a positive change in my mental health as I've stopped using a piece of tech to tell me how I should feel.

@DeanTTraining @Noodles42597090 A "man" obsessed with another man's body, also 2026
English
@stevesid86 @Noodles42597090 Stating what’s actually in line with reality = criticizing
Such a 2026 take
English
There are only 3 guarantees in life:
Death, taxes, and people on social media claiming every shirtless athlete is 10% body-fat leaner than they actually are
Lance Zierlein@LanceZierlein
306 pounds and 6% body fat.
English
@Noodles42597090 @DeanTTraining Because a very large amount of people admire athletes, but a very, very small percentage is obsessed with body building and feel the need to criticize
English
If you feel a huge mental relief after stopping using wearables, the problem likely wasn't the wearable.
The problem is that you didn't understand how to interpret the data properly and use it with other markers like subjective feeling and performance metrics.

@bowtiedcuervo @whoistife_x Ecclesiastes 4:6- better one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind. I read that as it's better to exercise but still have a life than to be obsessed with diet/exercise. Because notice they're never satisfied, always trying for better body
English
@whoistife_x Not just with food. Boring life overall. Don't play sports, sleep early, never go out, no social life, zero reading or any tipic of conversation outside of health and fitness
English
@stevemagness How about 3 days of very slow, lazy runs of 3-5 miles, and three days of sprint/interval/tempo work? And by sprints I mean close to full speed, not 5k speed
English
A simple way to develop aerobic fitness:
Lots of easy runs.
1 day/week = short and fast but under control. (i.e. 8x1min on/off, or 12x 30sec/1 off at 5k to 1mile effort)
1 day/wk = longer, controlled & uptempo (4x5min, 2x10min, or 6x3min at half marathon to 10k effort )
Repeat.

@billiongjgly As a married man, that's the advice I would give. If only I could tell my younger self
English
@_OKJ__ I've thought of that many times and can give you a really good answer. I don't know, only God knows
English
One question I always ask Christians that I have never gotten any reasonable answer for is …
If heaven involves perfect, unending happiness for the “saved”, how is it possible for them to experience that joy while retaining full knowledge of…and genuine love for…people they cared about who are were never saved and are suffering eternal torment in hell?
Alternatively, if God erases or suppresses those memories to preserve heavenly bliss, does this not compromise the authenticity of the personal identity of the “saved …and the very notion of a perfectly loving and just deity who’s willing to erase people’s memory of their own loved one?
These aren’t mundane questions.

Does heaven exist? If so, what would it actually take to get there?
