I STARTED A PODCAST! There seems to be a growing appetite (at least in my echo chamber) for knowledge on sport science. However, there is also a lot of BS out there. I hope to address these two points with the launch of my new podcast, "The Physiology of Endurance Running"

Consistency is the name of the game! My top tips: ✅ Majority of training volume well below the 1st threshold ✅ High-intensity only 2x week & most at only 7-8/10 effort ✅ Start with a weekly milage that is easily tolerated & progress slowly Discipline. Patience. Control.

For those interested, I belive this was a contributor to why I was well-short of my best at London (goal: 2:15, actual: 2:29) ⬆️⬆️ Psychological stress related to my PhD data collection ➡️ ⬆️ muscular fatigue ⬆️ elevated HR ⬆️ perception of effort

Overall, the results mostly met my perceptions of the shoes in that the NB FuelCell RC's do provide a mechanical advantage, but not to the same degree as the Nike Next%. As this is NB's 1st generation of "supershoe" though, I think we can expect more to come with their next model

Lessons to be learned here! 1) You don't develop a large aerobic system by running faster than VO2max 2) Even the mile is a predominantly aerobic event 3) Too much emphasis is placed on "speed-endurance"

Enjoyed this chat with coach Nic Bideau, who reveals @Stewy_mac3 hadn't run a lap faster than 60 secs for 2+ months before his 3:50 mile pb in December. "I am often telling athletes that speed work is overrated but Stewy takes it to a whole new level."

I calculated my "Efficiency Factor" (a la @Alan_Couzens ) by dividing my Strava grade-adjusted speed (m/min) by my average HR (b/min) for each 1-mile split. EF is simply the number of meters I'm getting out of each heart beat and is an easy way to (2/x)

If anything, it pushes me away from wanting to focus on the marathon. I love running so I would instead further explore the ultra scene. Others though will just retire from competitve running or find a sport that values them more highly Either way, the depth is lost
