I suspect it’s because coaches like Pop understand how to motivate people without simply relying on good stories or a template of tactics.

That is a fairly “underground” marathon, at least in terms of promotion and attendance. Apparently you can only register the day of the event. It is also free, so it is probably less of a production than, say, Boston.
Obligatory xkcd reference:
Butter: why do people still use butter dishes and (worse) keep the butter in the fridge so you have to mangle the stick to get a pat? Bell crocks on the counter are the only way to fly.
Here’s the thing: this sort of questioning goes on at EVERY SINGLE World Tour cycling race. In fact, the British government did an inquiry into Team Sky’s potential abuse of TUEs. Keep in mind that one of these cases dealt with Bradley Wiggins’ TdF win in 2012. The drugs in question are generally used for treating…
WADA has rules around TUEs, and I believe most international sports associations work with WADA on some level.
Well, as I argued elsewhere, I think the push to reduce doping by the UCI has affected the quality of racing. Gone are the days of Ulrich or Armstrong just riding everyone off their wheels with super-human attacks. Lots of fan complain about “negative racing,” but when the riders aren’t doped to the gills, striking…
I think there’s some truth to that, too, and Sky, in particular, brings a team full of potential leaders. Of course, this leads to so-called “negative racing,” where no one wants to attack (most notably, Froome) because it’s just too difficult to fight against those sorts of numbers.
Here’s an interesting thing: in the comments on many popular cycling websites, fans complain that the racing these days is too boring—not enough attacks, riders controlled by their Power Meters or the DS in their ear (race radios). Part of the reason for this, particularly in the Grand Tours, is that riders are, for…
No, actually, very few electrical demons.
Oh, I sold my EV with almost 200,000 miles on the clock. Took a lot of my time (and money) to get there, though.
Didn’t it specify that maintenance shouldn’t be an issue? I would not wish the maintenance nightmares of a VW camper van on my worst enemy.
Yeah, I kinda skimmed the article and thought “what is this ‘top sheet’ thing?” I imagined it being a sheet that I put on top of my comforter. And that seemed really weird.
Oh, yes, I know. I owned a 2001 EVWk for a long time. It was also our only vehicle for a family of four, so there was constant stress about how the heck we would get around when the van was in the shop (happened at least every two months, it seemed).
Fair enough.
You clearly have no experience with the market for VW camper vans. For example, this.
My understanding is that the sumo can be preferable for certain body types. It’s also a bit more leg-dominant than a conventional deadlift.
No worries, and thanks.
First, jargon: the tech bros usurped “crypto” from the computer geeks. It used to mean “cryptography” and now, in literally the span of a month, means “crypto-currency.” Is there overlap, yep, as crypto-currency is based on cryptography principles, but now computer geeks are well and truly confused when they read…
