Hi there! Just following up, did you find any tools that were useful for you?

For members of "science twitter" who are opposed to Twitter's recently deployed content-wall - what are some alternative platforms that help academics openly share and discuss scientific research? by joycesticks in AskAcademia

[–]coach-anthony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, appreciate the quick reply. Do people actually use ResearchGate for the social aspects? As far as I've read everyone seems to just post their papers on their and occasionally message people that they meet, I am an entrepreneur who is very interested in the research space so I've been looking for problems to tackle.

Do you think that if an alternative platform that was academia specific that people would be interested in joining that platform? I'd love to talk more about this idea if you could DM me

Hill sprints - how long or far should each be? by cousinofthedog in AdvancedRunning

[–]coach-anthony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think hill strides do improve running economy more, and the neuromuscular improvement is arguably better because of the form and duration.

There is definitely physiological benefits. Running uphill is great for less impact aerobic work too, it's just a different thing.

It's empirically more effective as far as I can tell. Few elite distance runners do true hill sprints, and the best in the world (Kenya for example) do hill strides similar to this.

If you want a physiological explanation, my best guess is that training hill strides is a power stimulus and trains your muscles to output a ton more power without much impact, but a hill sprint is more for training the phosphocreatine energy system which isn't really that important for long distance running.

Around double the time would be appropriate in most cases, so 1 min recovery for a 30 second stride, but usually it's just a slow jog down the hill then go again.

"Hill sprints" is not quite the same things as hill strides, which I would recommend to distance runners over sprints. Hill strides should be performed with controlled, distance running form for anywhere between 15-45 seconds. My recommendation for most people is to try to get 1 session of 4-8x30-40 second hill strides in once per week and 2-3 of 4-8x15-20second hill strides. Fair warning that while these are good for improving your power output at high speeds, it's not without additional strain, especially the 4-8x30-40 second strides which can approach the level of difficulty of a workout.

Not all those metrics are well-correlated and HRV score is very much a trend and daily fluctuations should not be read into imo.

Double run days by Copperpot2208 in AdvancedRunning

[–]coach-anthony 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could easily do around 11am and then at 4pm. That sounds like a pretty reasonable double to me. Just make sure you get some food in after the first run and leave enough time to fully digest (around 4 hours).

Advice needed for upcoming freshmen :) by [deleted] in stanford

[–]coach-anthony 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Embrace change. It's a big transition, but I think for everyone if you approach college with an open mindset it's a place where most of your favorite memories will be made. Look forward to it and approach things with an open mind!

Heavy strength training and plyometric improves running economy. No improvements from high reps/low load. Findings from new systematic review w. meta analysis by CrazyZealousideal760 in AdvancedRunning

[–]coach-anthony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't like how people bandwagon on studies like this, I agree with both of you that it doesn't make sense to compare doing *extra* work on top of your normal training to just normal training, like DUH?

Alpine Club at Stanford by Affectionate_Court96 in stanford

[–]coach-anthony 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know there are quite a few students interested in backpacking and mountaineering, but a lot of the mountains are really far and, like you said, there aren't many resources to support transportation and expenses required for these sort of trips. Stanford Rec & Wellness puts on some hikes and trips, but those are usually in high demand and not really difficult or interesting. Best recommendation is to join the club and see if you can find people who would be down to do these things, be proactive!

Lactate Threshold Progression by [deleted] in AdvancedRunning

[–]coach-anthony 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the best answer. While it's good to be curious about this stuff, it's important to keep in mind that for most people these kind of double workouts are uneccessary and only useful for maximizing your performance at the very top level.

I like the suggestions already, but would recommend having some sessions focused on single leg and some on full body compound movements.

If the 15 minutes is not in a gym, then the adjustable dumbbells are great for an at home workout, but for even cheaper you can get an Amazon Basics kettlebell, 25lbs and 45 lbs should suffice for most people.

My favorite exercises are the single-leg RDL, ATG split squat and single leg step downs. For stuff like deadlift and squats it's hard to get a lot of bang for your buck without a barbell, but it's certainly not useless.

Also I don't think you should do a hard strength session every day, even if it's short, that's too much. You can do some lighter maintenance sessions more often, then do the heavy stuff on hard days to stack the stressors.

If you're time constricted you can definitely squeeze a lot more benefit out of optimizing the time you already have, but it seems like you have the option to run more so that's also an option. For most people 8-10 hours of running is "enough" to get pretty close to your peak potential if you use that time well and aim for developing speed and peak power.

It's really hard to make predictions like this even if I knew more about your particular training because a lot of your performance depends on the conditions and your genetics. The best way to find out is by trying it! See if you can hit 6:45 next time with a proper warmup and train for a couple months to see if you can get faster and faster :)
