Damn, my favorite whey product is not even on the list (Muscle Milk). I started using it because the Florida State track team where my son competed was using it and winning titles at the time. That was convincing testimony for me. The fact MM isn’t even on the list is perplexing.

The town that I lived in for 38 years was named Groveland for the maple groves. One particular grove was still tapping trees til about 1990 when the owner died and the property was subdivide for McMansions.

I still have a couple friends that tap trees using plumbing and what-not unlike the old grove mentioned above which was still taps and buckets.

mm whey isolate with added sugar and fat. atleast that’s all it was when I was in college.

I went downstairs to do fake miles. Wanted to do a group ride for motivation. I could not find one at my level so signed up for one above my level. That was hard. I stayed with them for about 18 minutes, then lost my signal for a second and got spit out the back. I tried hard to bridge back but was redlining it even before the drop. I believe I did over my FTP for 20 minutes. That was hard.

Next time I will pick an easier group.

Mrs datlas and I heading to the Penn Museum for some Culture. I would rather be riding.

Busy morning, dogs walked. Food shopping with Mrs. Pirkaus, done. Buy doorway jumper for grandson, done.
Breakfast consumed. Addiction read. Fake miles will ensue later.

I really am in awe! What with a 6am-4pm job and then kids to take to activities to, all I can manage is fake miles..
Yeah, fake groups for fake miles are almost always average more than the claimed averages on a good day, I can’t fathom what the level above would be

Thanks, but that won't be til tomorrow.

Protip: running 90 minutes when you haven't gone north of an hour in six weeks hurts.

I don’t think I could run a mile to save my life.

Almost

Saturday morning interval session down at the shop.

I've occasionally wondered where the inflection point is where I could outrun the NFL boys, especially ones like the Mannings. Then I heard a former Charger say he had it on good authority that Rivers had never run a mile in his life. Just not in the job description.

I used taps fashioned from elderberry stems, and plastic milk jugs

So you won't mind if I jump over your lifeless body? It's nothing personal, just about survival.

BillyD

The same with Tom Brady, most likely.

Interestingly enough, nowadays most of the most successful QBs are all mobile . . . Mahomes, Jackson, Wilson, Rodgers, Watson . . . . who am I missing? The defensive ends have gotten too athletic to hold off for more than 3 seconds, you better be able to move your ass.

Bah Humbug

I didn't want anyone thinking I was trying to sneak in a dig at him, but yes. And yes, those guys could blow me away over shorter distances... but how are they at the mile? Probably good. 5k? Marathon? At some point even they'll slow down.

Pirkaus

I could, but it would involve being chased by someone with a "kitten".
We all know running is stoopid.

I remember seeing a neck warmer type of contraption being recommended in the past, but can’t find it now (perhaps in a previous Addiction). Any recommendations?

BillyD

In general I don't think sprinters are good at long distance competitions. I'm sure they could maintain a jogging pace almost indefinitely, but they would be outclassed in a distance competition. I hated it, myself

BillyD

I think I could jog a mile, then I'd have to jump into a vat of magnesium gel to fight the cramps.

I've been fully retired for 11 years but my average includes my working years, too. I have no idea how I managed back then though I do remember using lights a lot.
