Someone into stats needs to do a short video on why the differences between the (2 or 3) very very best are greater than the inter-individual difference amongst the (still elite) next tier down. Spoiler - it's all about the tails!

Our new durability paper is out in SJMSS! We tested how endurance performance determinants change after heavy-intensity running (90 and 120 min) in well-trained marathoners. 📌Below details of what we’ve found. 🆓 Open-Access 📄 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/sm… @rich_blagrove 🧵1/14
Why does Discovery plus keep pausing every 10s or so for a second!? It is really annoying and happening on every device I try
Top 10 - Giro ITT W'bal profile - 4 variations. 1 known, if pacing is based off this recovery profile would likely lead to sub optimal performance. Few other models variations included. Interesting to see the approach to different sections!
