Things that are not real:
A "Strava PB"
A "treadmill PB"
PB's must exist on a certified course (or better yet, on a track) with fully automatic timing or else they lack defensibility.

“Why do women’s sports exist? If you can’t define the difference between women & men, why not abolish women’s sports…”
Gender ideology does not survive even the most basic scrutiny.

3hr run down to the Eagle River & Back Up to @beavercreekmtn was both Beautiful & Brutal! 😂! No time to read the Fun History Plaques, so I took pics of them to read on the plane ride back 😄. Goals don’t pause for vacation, right coach @marksaroni ?

At the start of my career leading Cav out was a joy. A fellow Brit, changing the landscape of cycling. To see what he did today, 16 years after his first Tour stage, is almost unbelievable. But, it’s Cav. Nothing’s unbelievable. Congrats mate. They don’t call you Sir for nothing

Ok, NOW it’s For REAL! I signed up for the WRONG 100 miler earlier this year! 😂 I am now signed up for the CORRECT 100 miler in December. After the 15 miles I ran yesterday I was thinking…. “How am I gonna add 85 more to this?” 😂 ! I have time to figure it out. @TrailRacingTX

A moment of appreciation for the longevity of @SaraHall3 👏
At 40 years old, she will be competing in her EIGHTH U.S. Olympic Trials. She enters the race with a 2:20:32 personal best from December 2020. Her 2:22:10 from the 2022 World Championships in Eugene, Ore. makes her the 6th-fastest U.S. marathoner of the last two years.
She also previously held the American record in the half marathon.
What will Saturday, Feb. 3 hold in store? We’ll find out soon.

I have said it multiple times over the years. I have seen enough athletic careers ruined and finished by CHO restriction and related low-energy intake disorders as well as mental health issues. Truly heartbreaking…
Luckily now, the new generations of high-level athletes understand VERY well the need and the great effects of CHO on performance.
In cycling for example, going from 30-55g/h (the old and irrational guidelines) to >80-100g/h has been an absolute game changer in the sport and any high level competitive cyclist can confirm this.
It has been a a hard fight and I was crucified by some “top eminences in nutrition” ~18 years ago as this concept was absolutely lunatic and impossible….
Nowadays in the sport of cycling if you have a CHO intake of 30-55g/h you are totally done. K.O.
Finally we are making progress. Competitive athletes are far more knowledgeable and educated and this has been key.
