Was listening to @B_Holmer 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. It got me thinking as I start prepping for CIM. During my Boston build, I aimed for ~100g/hr on…
I've come to realize that A) If you’re serious all the time, you’ll wear out before the truly serious stuff gets done; and B) if you don’t regularly appreciate the small wins, you will never appreciate the big wins. They’ll all fall through your fingers like sand as you obsess on…

Listened to a GREAT interview by @B_Holmer who had @k_storoschuk on to discuss her paper re Zone 2 (PMID: 40560504), a deep dive on the lit to see if the hype holds up. If you follow the longevity space, you know: Zone 2 is a quasi magical metabolic state we NEED. Or is it…?
Babe wake up. New longevity molecule just dropped. 🍄
Psilocybin shows potential as an anti-aging molecule, with lifespan-enhancing results in human cells and mice observed in a new study. In vitro, psilocin (psilocybin’s metabolite) extended cellular lifespan by 29% at baseline and 57% at higher doses. It also reduced markers of…
ZONE 2 IS TERRIBLE!!!!! Jk...check out @k_storoschuk discuss her recent work on ZONE 2 with @B_Holmer
Do we have enough evidence to support the bold claims about zone 2 training? According to a new review by @k_storoschuk, no. She joined me to chat about zone 2's effectiveness for improving mitochondrial capacity, fat oxidation, and fitness in the general population, and why…

Do you think that the employees of these grocery stores look outside, see Paul filming, and just think “Oh shit, here we go again…”

It's a long run if it happens Saturday or Sunday morning. Otherwise it's a "medium long run" regardless of the distance
We used to have candy cigarettes as kids. Do kids now do candy Zyns?
Did you bring gels or water? No? Then it’s not a “long run.”
To be considered a "long run", it must be: 50%+ longer than your standard run Ex: 5 miles -> 7.5+ 8 miles -> 12+ The key is variance from the norm 50%+ scales well for ability. Gotta add more when your base is higher

This seems offensive.
The humans that didn't evolve away from eating fruits are called chimpanzees.
