To improve physiological resilience, endurance athletes should prioritise long-term training consistency, include prolonged sessions with intense efforts during fatigue, and regularly incorporate heavy strength or plyometric training. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/sm…

Great study by Kim Hébert-Losier! Running in a painted super shoe labeled “knock off” and in an intact one to tease out placebo effect. Differences in perceptual DVs but not in objective measures (RE + biomech) rejecting the placebo hypo. Nicely done! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Energy needs must be restored *before* starting any strength work in athletes with RED-S. If done so it has multiple potential benefits. Our graphic summarises recommendations from an excellent recent paper by Rich Blagrove & colleagues, available here journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/…

This one finds that V̇O2max, its fractional utilization at lactate threshold, running economy, and the speed at lactate threshold change in well-trained endurance runners following 90 min of running in the heavy intensity domain, and are particularly altered after 120 min.

📣 New paper out in Scand J Med Sci Sports! We tested the reliability of running economy (RE) and other physiological parameters during 90 min of running. ➡️ Running economy is highly reliable – even in a fatigued state 🆓 Open access link 📄 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/sm… 🧵1/8

This systematic review and meta-analysis finds that low certainty of evidence indicates no consequential effect of any type of stretching on running economy acutely, while the small number of chronic studies prohibit any conslusions on the chronic effects of stretching on running
