"When I first started cycling during the Covid days it was on a Peloton bike. Ive since moved to Zwift and learned why W/kg actually matters. Which is why Peloton ranking their leaderboards purely by raw watts is a joke. Its the cycling version of judging strength without bodyweight. Looks impressive. Means nothing for performance.

"@StevenQuartz Totally agree weight accuracy matters on Zwift. But the difference is Pelotons leaderboard is explicitly based only on absolute watts. Zwift racing at least attempts to normalize performance via W/kg categories and physics. Peloton doesnt even try"

"Was listening to @brady_h on the latest Life in Stride podcast. One discussion topic was about how 60g of carbs/hr might be the upper limit for race-day benefit in the marathon.

Even on Z2 long runs I practiced fueling aggressively to train the gut. Not sure how Ill approach it this time.

"This is spot on. The issue with average HR is that it hides all the detail. The first miles are artificially low shorter runs skew the number down and comparing between runners makes no sense when max HR varies so much person to person. Then you throw in workouts: an average pace might read 7:30/mi but if that included hard intervals the HR during those segments was way higher than what youd see on a steady 7:30/mi easy day. Same average completely different stress. Thats why context matters way more than the number on the watch. You see someone post a screenshot that says Average HR: 142"

"I actually bought these at the Puma pop up the day before Boston and raced in them after just a [--] mile shakeout. Ended up being fine but the last 10K was rough. The support wasnt quite there for me. Im a heel striker too which probably didnt help. Fun shoe but not something Id use for a full. Was planning on racing in these Puma shoes next month for the marathon and Im glad that I did a longer and fast test workout in them. I dont really like how they hold up and for me they honestly seem a bit fragile. I will not be using these. Great shoe though (its FAST) https://t.co/J4kksuscC0 Was"

"Over the past few years hes said in his YouTube videos that he was training for the Boston and New York City Marathons but never actually raced either. He wouldnt have been in the elite field but both are drug-tested events. Im a big fan of his just genuinely curious why those never happened could it be somewhat related I watched a video today on Nick Bares recent choice to stop weight training while he trains for his upcoming Ironman. Basically giving up the hybrid training style which he basically built his brand around basically the figure head of the model. Some people think that"

"Long run Sunday. [--] x 10K @ GMP. [--] up ➡ 10K @ 6:04/mi ➡ [--] miles easy ➡ 10K @ 6:01/mi ➡ down to [--]. Wind was insane today and somehow felt like a headwind in every direction. Nothing about this felt smooth. Had to lock in and fight through the whole thing but still managed to hit the paces. One of the hardest efforts of the cycle so far. [--] weeks out from CIM🫡"
