"Recovery describes what has happened in response to past stress. Readiness describes what an athlete can tolerate right now. Treating them as the same thing leads to costly mistakes in training and injury management."

As an example, the Swedish 🇸🇪 discus Olympic champion 🥇 Daniel Ståhl has focused on 5 strength exercises (give or take) in the gym his whole career, and he is pretty much stronger than ”all” other humans…

@EE Second day I've spent 30 min on a phone to the UK from NZ to UK, trying to report a fraud, only to be cut off on transfer to the business section. You need an email it's ridiculous

I've just tried again and been sent to a line that says the office is closed and then cut off, this is crazy. You're trying to charge me £500 for a phone I've never possessed plus I'm spending $$$ on the phone

I will mock vegans and vegetarians relentlessly for believing “plant-based diets” are healthier for humans, but I will never mock them for insisting factory farming is an abomination that cries out to the heavens for redress.

Sows are kept in gestation crates where they’re artificially inseminated, then moved into farrowing crates to nurse their babies. 🐖
For both stages they’re given barely more space than their own bodies. Unable to turn around, unable to comfort their piglets, unable to move freely. 😣
This is outrageous 💔

One of the most fascinating facts about the ocean, is that there are whales alive today who were born before Moby Dick was written.
Some of the bowhead whales in the icy waters off of Alaska today are over 200 years old.

Many coaches have been talking about how fast speed becomes detrained after a short duration (3-7 days) of neglect. I have stated this as well! BUT, I have been DIGGING through the literature and my own records and cannot find the evidence of this...
This might help us tho...
