The effect of #Covid_19 measures on the total amount (and type) of #running and #cycling activity. Our fithaxx.com beta users seem to comply with #SocialDistancing 👍

We have a new look for mobile devices, try it out now! - mailchi.mp/f3d4c1fe5cf9/y…

I was watching @LeTour this morning with my 5yo daughter, and she asks, “Is this race all boys?” She then said that if @sparkleaddict was racing, she’d want her to win. How do you explain that there’s no women’s TdF? Think representation doesn’t matter? Think ppl don’t notice?

#Runners using heart rate monitors can now track their training performance measured as the predicted race time for their specific goal. Try it out now at fithaxx.com and please let us know what you think!

My latest: Specificity - The most over-rated principle? alancouzens.com/blog/specifici…

Your indoor workouts are now handled separately to improve the accuracy of your fitness analysis. Very soon, workouts on a trainer will also be visible as a separate category in the activity trends analysis 🛠.

As power and speed readings from these trainers are not always similar to road rides, they should be treated differently in performance analysis. Therefore, Fithaxx now automatically recognizes trainer workouts, whether or not explicitly tagged as such in #Strava.

Given the duration of indoor #cycling workouts, there seems to be a strong tendency to stop after _exactly_ one hour. Note that this analysis excludes activities on virtual racing platforms such as #Zwift - would these add more diversity? Coming soon!

New poll for people training for endurance performance: how far in advance do you normally plan specific training sessions?

@velominati Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1. #12" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">velominati.com/the-rules/#12 N+1 equals 3.4 for the #cyclists on fithaxx.com. But 15 seems ... quite extraordinary 🤔

Runners eat pasta the night before the marathon to maximize glycogen storage in their muscles. But if you only pay attention to what you eat that one meal, you never will succeed as a runner. You need to eat right before long runs in training too. And every other day of the week.

@KevinAtSave We dont do helmets. We build infrastructure and indoctrinate our car drivers.

Impressive analysis of large Strava data set by @KevinQ and @jshkatz in NYT suggests that Nike Vaporflys really are associated with faster marathon times. nyti.ms/2LtZBCy via @UpshotNYT

Two big challenges for young sport scientists and training app developers: 1) respect the unique experience/tacit knowledge of (good) coaches and 2) embrace the frustrating realities of complex adaptive systems. Nice blog from @mattfitwriter 8020endurance.com/why-endurance-…
