Re-sharing to go with my previous framework (the S.H.I.T. one!).
Shared a bit of my journey to find a sports watch...⌚️🤔
Tracking physical activity and exercise is becoming more and more popular. To do so, you’ve likely sought a device that can track your activity. But how do you know which device to get?

So-called fitness influencers and experts are posting videos of themselves jumping into freezing water as a sign of discipline or morality and bragging about how they cut out coffee.
It's mainly there to make you feel like are not enough.
Do what you can to laugh at it.

The best athletes on the planet, where HIIT is specific training (i.e. middle distance runners) seldom do more than 1 high-intensity interval workout per week during their most intense training phase
So why does the average Joe think they need/can handle 1 or more HIIT per week?

Sportsmanship in 2023 is truly amazing, with Ilan van WIlder celebrating Magnus Cort's victory like it was his own. 🥹
Truly an amazingly kind individual, Van WIlder. 👏 #VAlgarve23
Another goodie from @stevemagness 👌

Another interesting one from the GRIT Team! Bringing evidence-based info to the weight loss discussion (where it is really needed).
The topic of loosing weight may seem like a simple science of “calories in vs calories out”, but it is way more complex than you think. Despite the years of extensive research there are many questions that remain up for debate. Here we discuss them: buff.ly/3R2JZsk

The start of a new year often brings with it a strong motivation to make the changes we’ve been wanting to make to better ourselves in one way or another. We report evidence-based health beahiour tips for new years resolutions in our latest blog article: buff.ly/3ivD9yz
Referencing one's argument tends to make it more believable but does it make it right? I got to have a look at one of probably many examples of where it doesn't.

In Tuesday’s blog article buff.ly/3goRxYq, we mentioned critical speed. Kipchoge’s high critical speed and his ability to increase his speed in the final phase of a marathon to just below that, seems to be a differentiating factor to his success. @AndrewBosch4 @HPALS__

There are three factors used independently and together to measure running performance but the best measure of performance is still a simple time trial or a race as this type of test simulates the real world application of all three factors.
