Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

@HankFrank Smh only 1 pair each? Terribly off your game here Hank.🤷🏻‍♂️😂

Bandit member discount just made a Megablast and Superblast restock way too easy.

@taggartvanetten 110 miles short? Smh Taggart, such a disappointment for the overtraining community.🤦🏻‍♂️/s

do not try this at home

Hi @hannahyeoh, salam sejahtera I think the policy is silly and disconnected from reality, but I appreciate you trying to do something. No need to "work with Zus to collect the data....analyse the pattern". Feel free to ask your officers to contact me - using only open-source data (public transport ridership, traffic cams, Google Maps), I can already show you the time distribution of travel into KL in the morning, and out of KL in the evening. And if you add the additional data which gov has access to, you'll get an even richer picture. Hint: It's massively driven by the time people send their kids to school, and your policy will barely move the needle.

Seeing 2 of my favourite figures in the running/health space engaging in a keyboard kerfuffle wasn't on my bingo card for 2026.🙂 That said, both have strong, valid points, neither of which is wrong. IMO the intended beneficiaries of said study would welcome both POVs.😬

@MechanickMeng Kawan tu sambung belajar kat mana² lagi tak? Atau decide kerja je terus?

@itsteme kawan aku cemerlang sgt SPM ,dpt buat doktor d UsM...tak lama lps tu , minat hilang.. minta engineering kat UK.. mudah lah dpt.. sbb SPM cemerlang sgt... tp x habis pulak engineering kat UK.. langsung skrg x dpt².. rezeki & perjalanan hidup tak sama...

Saya dapat 10A untuk SPM. Alhamdulillah, layak untuk mohon hampir kesemua scholarship. Saya bukan tiba-tiba nak bagitahu result tau hahaha! Apa yang saya nak cerita ialah, tindakan kita selepas SPM itu yang menentukan hala tuju kita. SPM tidak menjamin. Jangan ulangi silap saya. Dipendekkan cerita, saya dapat scholarship ijazah architecture ke United Kingdom. Namun, ada kesilapan yang saya buat, yang mengakibatkan saya hilang kesemuanya. Saya terpaksa jadi pelukis jalanan buat beberapa tahun. Lepas SPM, kita terdedah dengan alam dewasa yang sebenar. Kita perlu buat pilihan besar. Tak ada orang pantau kita kat universiti. Nak tidur 24 jam tak pegi kelas pun tak ada siapa yang marah. Time ni lah jiwa remaja kita teruji. Lagi mencabar dalam keadaan tiada pemantauan. Instead of menjadi pelajar yang baik, saya banyak menyimpang. Saya berniaga, saya belajar agama (tidak salah. Cuma pembahagian masa & keutamaan saya yang salah), saya banyak cuba benda baru. Saya jadi tak nak study. Merasa diri dah besar, saya banyak buat keputusan pramatang. Rebel. Saya terlupa tujuan & tanggungjawab sebenar saya. End up saya tidak capai keputusan yang baik untuk exam terakhir saya sebelum layak terbang ke United Kingdom. Saya kurang 1 point sahaja. Sangat sayang. Scholarship saya untuk ke UK dibatalkan. Rayuan ditolak. Bila saya apply universiti dalam negara, hampir tak jumpa universiti yang diiktiraf oleh Lembaga Arkitek Malaysia yang terima result A-Level. Semuanya minta result SPM. Maksudnya, saya terpaksa bermula dari awal. 2 tahun A-Level ‘terbakar’ macam tu sahaja. Sedangkan kawan-kawan saya yang masuk asasi, matriks, diploma, semuanya berbaki 2-3 tahun je lagi untuk dapat ijazah. Ada yang dah nak kerja pun. Saya? Daripada baki 3 tahun, jadi 5-7 tahun untuk ijazah seni bina. Sebab intake tahun tersebut dah tak dibuka. Masa hadapan terasa gelap masa tu. Memang rasa tak nak sambung belajar dah. 2 tahun yang 'sia-sia' itu ibarat 10 tahun bagi budak belasan tahun. Kita rasa stress & asyik compare dengan kawan-kawan yang lebih bernasib baik pada mata kita. Sedih tengok kawan-kawan semua dah hampir tamat belajar sedangkan saya dengan SPM je. Namun semua tu berlaku atas kesilapan saya juga. Maka, saya terpaksa hadap & perbetulkan semuanya semula. Apa yang saya nak share ialah, hati-hati membuat keputusan di alam dewasa. SPM bukan penamat, bukanlah penentu segalanya. Ya, alhamdulillah saya dapat 'kejar' balik akhirnya. Saya terbang ke UK dengan biaya sendiri. Terpaksa buat macam-macam kerja sambil belajar di negara orang. Siap jadi pelukis jalanan. Macam-macam cabaran saya lalui termasuklah kata-kata yang kurang enak daripada orang terdekat. Tapi, kalian tak perlu lalui semua tu. Kalian boleh elakkan buat kesilapan yang sama. Dan jika kalian temui jalan buntu, insyaAllah akan ada jalan keluar. Jika kita berusaha, tak give up, serahkan kepada Allah dalam semua hal, insyaAllah akan ada penyelesaiannya. Take your time untuk bersedih. Tapi ingatlah, gagal sekali, tak bermakna gagal selamanya. 🌹

On top of a normal blue-collar full-time job, might fool around with averaging 100 mi/week for an entire year starting next month and see if I can get in the same banquet hall as @j_ashworth656 once was. Just the hall, 'cause the same table is an entirely different matter.😅

Still waiting for @GNev2 & @Carra23's verbal tirade against the boy. Or does it only apply to United players?🤷🏻‍♂️🙂

@MattWallace888 Thank you Matt 🫣

If anyone can successfully copy the link on this post I will buy you a Tesla

Alex is taking the piss here.😅🤣

@TrailsAndAlesUK @painy2003 @UKhotfoodchat @huel It wasn't listed as his 5K PB because Strava recorded it .01km short lol. However his HR was sketchily low, probably wasn't wearing his FR245 tightly.

@painy2003 @UKhotfoodchat @huel Oh nice find 👌

This latest Hardest Geezer @huel ad reel just feels off. Pushing this idea that he’s taken a lad from a 28min 5km down to sub 20 in 90 days… but leaving out the small detail that he’s already a 17 min 5km runner is pretty disingenuous. Cont…

@stevemagness @Alan_Couzens Got started years ago combing through Canova's posts on letsrun since '03 as an opener, then used that as a launchpad to go back in time and study LaGrange, Fitz, Hill, Dill, Gerschler, Igloi & Lydiard and co. Best use of my limited mobile data ever. Still feel like an idiot.💀

New rule of thumb, if you can't tell me who Arthur Lydiard, Mihali Igloi, Doc Counsilman is we shouldn't put much stock into your advice for exercise. Far too many neglect understanding the history of training which provides the roadmap.

@tim_roozendaal @ShermanDanger @zachpogrob If they weren't so expensive would've stocked up at least 5 pairs lol.

@ShermanDanger @zachpogrob I was really surprised with these when I got them on foot. Felt great. Have my eye out to pick up a pair

Ultra runners- what are your favorite shoes right now? Want to try 1-2 new pairs before backyard ultra- thinking to try Superblast 3 + Nimbus So backyard ultra-specific recs (road shoes- slow pace, max distance) Right now planning to wear Puma MagMax 2 + Nike Vomero Premium

@ThePapaLinks The kind where you can wake up on a random Tuesday and bang an unplanned 45km long run.

What level of runner enjoys running the most?

@IntraRunner Chinese running shoes aficionados looking at this tweet:

Running shoes have hit the plateau. I haven’t been excited about a trainer in a long time. It felt like an arms race for a decade. Now it’s who can make their own Evo SL for the cheapest. I’m actually okay with this, but the META has been found and it’s less fun.

@Hybridathlete I did up to 200mpw, but at that point it means only running and nothing else.💀🤣 150-160mpw feels just about doable with a 5-day/week full-time job, but usually means 0 time for non-essentials (socmed and the like). For a working/unsponsored guy, for me that's the limit.😅

@therungusrunner I can’t even come close to fathoming 150-160mpw. 😂

Yep, especially true as your fitness improves. My top end Z2 running is 6:30-6:45min/mi and 150-155 HR but I do my easy runs mostly at 7:40-8:00 pace and 130-135 HR. My top end Z2 biking is ~270W and 140HR but I do most easy bikes at 200-230W and 120-125 HR. If I were to start doing all of my easy runs, even at 7:00-7:15 pace, or all of my bikes at 240-255W, it would start negatively affecting my training very quickly. And that's not to say I don't do any work in that range or at the top of Zone 2, because I do. Every week I probably spend ~20% of my easy training in high Zone 2. Simply put, any additional benefit (and arguably, there isn’t much, if any) of doing all of your easy training in mid to high Z2 isn't worth it due to the disproportionately higher recovery cost versus Z1 work. In the short term, and on lower volume training, you can get away with doing mostly zone 2 but eventually, it'll catch up to you. If your goal is long-term consistency and improvement, you should focus on keeping the easy days truly easy. And a quick disclaimer before a bunch of you lose your mind in the comments: I'm not saying you should completely avoid zone 2. I'm just saying the majority of your easy work should be zone 1, with targeted Z2 “intervals” worked in when necessary. A good example of this that I have my clients do and that are in my programs is what I call "easy plus steady run". For me, “easy” is Z1 and “steady” is mainly high Z2. An example would be this: 20-25 mins easy + 15-20 mins steady And how that would look for me is over the first 20-25 mins I'd probably start off around 8:30 pace and steadily work it down to about 7:30 pace by the end of the easy portion. Then the steady portion I would work from probably 7:15 pace down to 6:30-6:45 pace depending on how I feel.
