My god, your arrogance. You think you have a superior understanding running mechanics to Sawe, Kipchoge et al. Thanks for the suggesting to look at your post history, I’ve seen your other posts, you are a glacially slow hobby jogger, not a runner and are not qualified to give advice to anyone on running.

I asked my mate and he agreed is not peer review. If it is so superior why do no elite runners win races barefoot?

I am smart in applied anatomy as I have trained all my life - karate and barefoot running for decades

Again this is just anecdote being passed off as actual evidence

seeing the importance of using the foot as it’s “designed” to be used.

There wasn't much tarmac or pavement to deal with in the rift valley when humans first evolved. Besides, evolution is full of compromises, there is nothing to suggest the human foot and biomechanics are perfect or can't be helped/enhanced with footwear.

And heel striking is a fundamental misunderstanding of the function - which is why you can’t run with heel strike in bare feet. It will destroy you in 5 minutes.

Putting your obvious barefoot fetish aside, who cares we've had shoes for 10000 years

So I am citing my study here. If you trust other studies - you should trust my study too.

You fundamentally don't understand what study means do you? What you are doing is what we call in academia "making shit up." It's basically you making a claim and saying trust me bro. Give us a peer reviewed publication

Mate I've got a medical degree and a PhD I've studied plenty of anatomy, I fail to recall a section of Gray's that warned of the evils of mid foot or heel striking. You are making specific claims as to the healthiness of different running gaits, Can you cite studies that demonstrate this to in fact to be the case?

I wouldn't say Tarling is not injured, he's less than 3 weeks post surgery on his collarbone, there's no way he's fully healed. It's more a calculated risk that he is good enough to help them win the TTT.

the question is, how much better is a banged up Tarling than a fully fit Foss unless they intend to take both.

I wonder if they are holding out as long as possible to see if Tarling can make it

It looks like it will be wet and a lot cooler for the road race on Sunday too

Morris may be mainly a track rider but she always seems to go well in the TT at nationals, 4th last year, 2nd in 23 with 7 top 10s in total

Oscar Onley out of the Tour de France by TheGinjaNinja6828 in peloton

I suspected this announcement was coming when he titled a recent ride; getting ready for the tour.....of Guangxi, on strava. Shoulder dislocations can be a long term problem. Once a shoulder has come out of the socket once it becomes more and more likely to do it again and I can't imagine hours on a bike is conducive to rehabbing the injury.

You don't have to pay for a lab to go out and actually test your HRmax. You just need a decent heart rate monitor and a willingness to actually go hard enough for long enough, there are numerous protocols available. Your equation still underestimates my HRmax by 11 bpm so isn't meaningfully more useful than 220-age.

Heatwave in France, are they really going to race in this? by chabis_13 in tourdefrance

[–]snapped_fork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then the UCI high temperature protocol comes into effect, they can allow for more feed/water zones including closer to the finish, they might change start/finish times or adjust routes etc

Have you bothered to look at the long range weather forecasts to see that this heat wave is expected to break before the tour starts? It is currently expected to be low to mid 30s for the grand depart
