I like this. For me, it's walking every day, competing in running events, exercising without devices (most of the time), and reading books when my ability to focus wanes due to excessive social media use.

His latest @hubermanlab breakdown will change how you see comfort forever.

Exception to the rule @ London Marathon '25: Puma Fast-R3 shoes making my smooth-feeling first half over a minute too fast😅 (plus the special occasion and some warm weather to finish me off) Final splits 71:30 / 80:00
My goal for marathon pacing is better than a one-minute positive split. Most recently, I've based my first-half pacing completely on feeling, only checking my watch for manual 5k splits. Mantra: "Smooth & relaxed"
Note Milan'22 was PB @ 41yo beating my 2014 PB from Tokyo

2. but which you had to figure out. Then former president De Nero delivers his big finale report to Congress working through moral conundrums by telling the painful truth rather than a story to maintain the status quo. Great introduction episode and setup to go anywhere...

X-Friends— marathon experiment #2 <24 hrs out for this 58 yr old. Know key is to run 1st half on sharp edge between “not too fast” (to cause 2nd half drop-off) & “just fast enough” (to set up overall finish time).
What are your fav mental strategies for doing so??

Shoe Efficiency Test - Nike Alphafly 3 vs Asics Metaspeed Sky Paris
Winner: Alphafly 3 (non-significant margin)
Both Nike & Asics closely matched in terms of performance & RE. Nike appears to confer a slight advantage in terms of lower HR & marginally reduced oxygen cost 17kph

Happiness = Reality - Expectations
Americans think 26% of US households make over $500K/year (it's actually 1%). Not coincidentally, young Americans now believe $500K is the benchmark for financial success. A recipe for immense anger and grievance.
This 11-year-old post still good as new:

Enjoyed the trip to Barcelona as support crew 😉
Love a good timeline. 💫
Was a great experience presenting the keynote lecture on our work about #ProjectOrbis at #ENASymp24 in #Barcelona this past week.

Unfollow, unfollow, unfollow. And don't click/like/respond to aggravating posts!! I get a lot of value from reading my X feed.
A simple way to improve your mood is to curate your feed.
Evidence: People were randomly assigned to unfollow accounts that spewed hostility, hyperpartisan views, and low-quality information.
6 months later, they had significantly higher well-being and lower outgroup animosity.

Just amazing space engineering achievements by @SpaceX today. Catching a 21-story high booster out of the sky after it had delivered a 15-story Starship to the edge of space. Checkout highlights from the end of @Erdayastronaut live stream here: youtube.com/live/pIKI7y3DTXk…

Great heat adaptation training outline from @DougalAllan in his blog. Very much aligns with my experiences at doing this for ironman (and from doing Zwift on exercise bikes at the gym without a fan this year...) precisionhydration.com/perfo…
