“strength #training has so many benefits for endurance #runners”
“it’s critical to build strength #training exercises into your program that accomplish two important goals”
The first goal is coordination
The second goal is power
“you have to perform relatively heavy lifts. And if possible, engage in explosive movements”
“As #runners, we want to train movements, not muscles” https://run.outsideonline.com/training/workouts/strength-training-for-a-more-effective-running-stride/

“A #marathon pushes the human body close to its limits. Legs tire, lungs burn and the heart works hard for hours on end. For years, that strain has raised an uncomfortable question: does #running 26 miles actually damage the heart?”
“After a #marathon, many #runners show higher levels of a substance called troponin in their blood”
“temporary spikes in troponin after races reflect hard work … with proper training, the heart stays healthy
But fitness isn’t immunity” https://theconversation.com/do-marathons-damage-your-heart-decade-long-study-finally-settles-the-debate-272371

Do marathons damage your heart? Decade-long study finally settles the debate

Whaaaat? Looking for local chapter now!

"On a drizzly Boxing Day morning, 140 #Sydney #Jewish #Runners of all ages met to launch the Sydney Chapter of #NiceJewishRunners.

Nice Jewish Runners was founded in #NewYork just after #October7 2023, on the belief that Jewish people are stronger together and that any form of connection around being Jewish is positive.

Over the last two years, Nice Jewish Runners has opened more than 20 chapters across the #UnitedStates, #Canada and #Israel."

GitLab: Основы написания Pipeline 1/3

Всем привет! Так вышло, что в месте, где я преподаю и занимаюсь менторством стажёров, начался переход с GitHub-репозиториев на GitLab, развёрнутый на собственных серверах. Пока что перенесли не все проекты, но даже этого оказалось достаточно, чтобы у стажёров возникло немало вопросов — особенно в части настройки CI/CD-процессов. Формально CI/CD в GitHub и GitLab решают одну и ту же задачу, но на практике подходы, терминология и детали конфигурации отличаются. Из-за этого попытки «сделать как в GitHub Actions» часто приводят к путанице и ошибкам. У меня уже есть статья про CI/CD и workflow, но она целиком посвящена GitHub Actions. Чтобы сократить количество вопросов, разночтений и бессонных ночей у стажёров, я решил написать отдельную статью про CI/CD именно в GitLab — с учётом его особенностей и типичных подводных камней. Если вам интересны подобные материалы, подписывайтесь на Telegram-канал «Код на салфетке» . Там я делюсь гайдами для новичков, полезными инструментами и практическими примерами из реальных проектов. А прямо сейчас у нас там ещё и проходит новогодний розыгрыш.

“a giant clock over the finish line showed the time elapsed since the gun went off before sunrise … #athletes in the championship field, and many in the seeded corrals, were fixated on #running the same time—for men, it was sub-2:16, for women, it was sub-2:37—the standards to qualify for the 2028 U.S. #Olympic #Marathon Trials”

“It’s called ‘orthostatic intolerance,’ and it’s a relatively common phenomenon among #runners, which I’ve always assumed had something to do with being really fit and having a low resting heart rate. But a new study suggests there’s something entirely different going on”
"there’s something specific to #running’s up-and-down motion that seems to make your brain pay less attention to motion signals from your otoliths” https://www.outsideonline.com/health/training-performance/why-runners-get-lightheaded/
