This is the cheatsheet for runners’ training that we never had…until now. Thanks for this!

Hi Marco,

Thank you for this insightful newsletter — I completely agree with the idea that testing shouldn’t be done just for the sake of testing!

I had a quick question regarding your latest post, specifically about how you estimate your 10K performance and first threshold from training data. Would it be possible to get a bit more detail on the relationship or Python code you use for these estimations? I find it really interesting!

Thanks again for your great work.

thank you Alan, much appreciated.

You can find more details on the parameters used in the paper (no code though).

Thanks for another interesting piece Marco!

I just found this podcast about breathing frequency and as always I'd be curious to hear your thoughts :)

thanks Francesco! I think that's an interesting metric and I like Stephen's approach, it's a pity that there are so few devices that actually measure it, and most sensors out there give us nonsense estimates, just like everything else wearables-related :)
