Very good summary of modern smart watch batteries and how they behave.
The article covers the 20 to 80% rule, calibration, cold-weather shutdowns and whether long rides wear a battery faster than short runs, in his words. the5krunner.com/?p=138612&ut…
if only the MSM had the temerity to fact check in real time to undermine the absolute and outright lies she spouted.
The media has not bothered to thoroughly fact check Hansons National Press Club address so I’ve done it for them. 18 false and / or misleading statements. John Paul Janke was the journalist who pushed back on her claims and Sarah Martin questioned her about her daughters position as campaign advisor (rightly so) and was called a “trashy journalist” by Hanson and told she would be banned from future pressers. Nothing else was challenged by the so called journalists in attendance and she continues to be unchallenged on the facts in every interview she sits.
Ordered a copy of Marius Bakken’s book over the weekend and digested most of it over two days. Into week three of a 3 x sub threshold sessions per week with 3 days of easy (capped 70% HRMax). So far so good. Keen to insert some easy Zwift rides - post session? @feelthebyrn1

A moment to recognize the true heroes of Paris-Roubaix 🇫🇷🐐 They work at munching away on the grass and weeds that sprout up each spring between the stones laid centuries ago. This is essential work. 🪨

The reality facing most southern hemisphere athletes which makes this achievement all the more incredible.
After 9,000+ miles and 50 hours of travel from the New Zealand summer to a harsh Boston winter, 16-year-old Sam Ruthe ripped up the record books again with his 3:48 mile on Saturday in Boston.
How he did it, and where can he possibly go from here:

Great article and well worth a read.
Travelled to Norway to speak to Jakob Ingebrigtsen. He was fascinating on so many things, including his obsession with winning, autism, his love of cars and so much more theguardian.com/sport/2026/j…

Michael Jordan’s story that he told @miketirico is 100% legit. Here’s the original video of it.

A pretty neat graphic has just popped up on @strava. Avg of 6 activities a week over the past 44 post plantar fasciitis. Built up to four to five runs per week (averaging 50 kms over the last four). Building nicely.

Will try and start using this platform to document my training. Looking to run the Sydney Marathon in Sep but using a multi sport approach (inspired by @feelthebyrn1). Have used the past week to de-load to start a base focus starting Monday.

I think this an approach that @feelthebyrn1 would agree with. Running faster with less running. Probably something I should heed leading up to attempting two marathons this year.
