🗣️ “I’m going in with, I don’t know if it’s hubris, but it’s at least quite a big confidence.”
World half marathon champion Andreas Almgren 🇸🇪 couldn’t have hoped for much more in his build to his marathon debut Sunday in New York.
He’s still leaving the door open for things to get dicey in the final few previously-untouched kilometers on 5th Ave and through Central Park, but the Swede is bringing plenty of confidence to the start line.

The most important determinant of how effective a workout is at improving VO₂ max is…
*how long* you spend at a high percentage of VO₂ max!
This is why 2+ minute intervals are superior to sprint interval training (~30 seconds or less).
30 seconds is too short for oxygen uptake to rise near VO₂ max, and by the time you get there, it’s time to recover.

Not this time, @nycmarathon… 💔
I was so excited to come back stronger, but a sickness slowed down my training and I’m not where I wanted to be. Sometimes, things just don’t go as planned.
Wishing everyone an amazing race in NYC! 🫂💞

Vitamin D supplementation was linked to a 40% lower risk of dementia
In an observational study of more than 12,000 older adults, supplement users were less likely to develop dementia over up to 10 years
At 5 years, an estimated 84% of vitamin D users remained dementia-free compared with 68% of non-users
The association also appeared in people with mild cognitive impairment and, separately, in carriers of APOE4, a major genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease

The key feature of low-intensity training (Zone 2 in a 5- or 7-zone model) is that it allows athletes to accumulate a high training volume because it is less stressful than higher-intensity training—not that it is a magic bullet for stimulating specific physiological adaptations.

Faster marathon runners accumulate more training time at low intensity, but not at moderate or high intensities.
