@christoball858 @Alan_Couzens Would assume lower circulating levels of glucose and lower starting point of liver glycogen would enhance fat oxidation starting earlier also?

@tomgoom Probably depends what level. It’s the whole stiffness and elastic return on economy argument. If you like it go for it but if you are well trained to elite it might be a case of more planned dynamic mobility/drill sessions. Love to hear other opinions though

@DrAsimShehzad @BrownJHM Would we be concerned that stretching the Achilles places more ‘traction’ on a already irritated growth plate? There may be other means of promoting calf flexibility without the traction?

@chsweb @mrp_law @davidmellyruns Recovery is the big deal here. Only a select few will run longer than the marathon distance on a long run. You will build endurance over weeks and months and not just a long run.

@JForsett Since when do you run hard for 3 mins 45 sec in soccer at a sustained pace. Kids at 9 can do some agility drills and skills based training and let active school life keep them fit

@GregLehman Wouldn’t squeezing your gluteals encourage posterior pelvic tilt = over stride = larger PFJ loads? Most people wouldn’t be able to correctly cue themselves without external feedback

@canberratimes @neale_hannah We arrived yesterday and there was no border control checking at Sunshine Coast airport. Makes that 3hr wait in the long Canberra cues questionable. I understand that a Qld issue though

@m_gardner @Justin_Britton @CitiusMag Respectfully disagree. Key clinical symptom regarding Achilles’ tendinopathy is AM stiffness known as ‘next day pain’. Peri tendon issues present as increased pain to load (run). The key is differentiating between the two to manage correctly.

@himom25 @Mack_McLain @nickwillis I don’t think we can pin this on one single factor. Multi factorial all of which have been discussed above, shoes, training, belief in what can be achieved and others

@verv_inc False advertising. Workouts don’t necessarily build your dream body. There is no easy way. Lots of HARD work through exercise diet AND favourable genetics.

@Scienceofsport @dailymaverick The biggest problem that is see (Ross highlighted) was working out responders to non responders, no better than a chance result.What happens if a new shoe/technical company comes through with something other than carbon fibre or a change in foam?
