Show me an endurance athlete who improves their aerobic fitness over a year or more without increasing their training volume...
And I will show you a flying unicorn. 🦄

1,000 kcal of low-intensity exercise every day keeps the Doctor away.
2,000 kcal of low-intensity exercise every day keeps the competition at bay.

Today is World suicide prevention day.
Every 90 minutes, someone in the UK or Ireland dies by suicide. We can all make a difference by checking in on those around us.

A great coach once told me that good coaches take complex ideas and make them simple, while a bad coach who wants to appear like they know what they are doing takes ideas and concepts and makes them more complex.

Most runners don’t want to hear it… but your 30-40 mpw is simply not enough.
The average competitive runner runs 35.5 miles per week. Is that enough? Hint: Probably not. bit.ly/3uE7WPZ

A reminder that the all-encompassing and deeply pervasive pro-Rangers conspiracy has resulted in us winning a whopping 1 out of 12 titles.
But yeah, you know, conspiracy. Sure.
Nephews 🙌

An appalling decision in North Lanarkshire that's gonna hit all hard! 🙄 Why is it that sport & recreation always seem to be the 1st on the chopping block?🤷♀️ Councils, you're quick to celebrate athletes when they win, but what about supporting the community's well-being daily 🤦♀️

What everyone should know about volume & intensity:
⬆️ Intensity: Fitness improves very quickly & plateaus very quickly.
⬆️ Volume: Fitness improves more slowly but plateaus *much* more slowly.
Choose wisely.
Colin Williamson retweeted
Say it with me...
No matter how much you want it to be true..
Intensity is not a substitute for volume.
If you really want to be fit, you have to put in the time.
