For those skeptical short sprints could be so effective, many studies. See: ~12-16 min of intensity > 45 min of long slow distance: “High-intensity aerobic interval training resulted in significantly increased VO2max compared with long slow distance… (P < 0.01).” journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/fu...

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”

Nog 113 dagen tot de Omloop.

After 13 years in the US, I’ve made the difficult decision to leave. Having packed up everything and rethought about priorities, rather painstakingly, while I’m sad to leave the life I’ve made here, I’m also relieved that I won’t have to plan my life around immigration policies anymore.

New study exploring a potential strategy for increasing affective responses during exercise while emphasizing the need to rigorously test related auxiliary assumptions and determine an SESOI for confirmatory research: doi.org/10.1080/0264...

7/7 This highlights the importance of training specificity (i.e. long runs) and higher mileage for sustaining economy during prolonged exercise – key for events from 10k to marathon. 🔄 Share & discuss! 📄 Free full text (AoP): journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/ab...
