Good accurate explainer of the effects on the body of sprinting 400 meters. Understanding this process was key to me breaking the WR and consistently running 43 seconds.
Explainer video on science of why the 400m sprint is considered the most painful track & field event. And why ā€œno person on the planet can run the 400m all out from start to finish". The race pushes the way the body creates energy to the limit: ā€Øā–«ļø0-50 meters: ATP-CP (energy system for very short and explosive movements; used up after 5-10 seconds) ā€Øā–«ļø50-200 meters: Anaerobic glycolysis (burns glucose without oxygen, leading to lactic acid buildup and muscle fatigue) ā€Øā–«ļø200-300 meters: Aerobic energy (uses oxygen to break down glucose, but cannot keep up with the demand) ā€Øā–«ļø300-400 meters: Anaerobic energy reserves tapped while aerobic energy is too slow to fill the gaps (lactic acid buildup is going HAM) Track athletes can pace for longer distances and shorter ones are just over quicker (obvs). The Olympic record is a blazing 43:03, set by South African runner Wayde van Niekerk in 2016 (and 2024 Final race is tomorrow). *** Full video from Outperform: piped.video/D0Zh0bT8OuM?si=24Dp…

You are not going to believe what happened the first time I played #themasters It was in 2001 and my 1st round tee time was around 8:30 and I was a little nervous. I just watched Byron Nelson and Sam Snead hit off only a few minutes prior and the enormity of the event was dawning on me as I stood over the ball on that tee shot. 😬 I managed to catch it out of the heel which had the ball sliding down the left rope line, frankly I was pleased it was on planet earth. This joy was brief as I saw one of the patrons fall to the ground and my ball ricocheting through the pines to the left. I might vomit at this point..couldn’t help but imagine some poor soul has waited 15 years for tickets #themasters and I’ve nearly killed him at 8:30 in the morning 🤢 It wasn’t great once I got there..I’d hit him right above his eye and you could see the dimple pattern in the lump now forming. I don’t think a signed glove is gonna cut it on this one..Not good. If I was nervous before I’m now close to lying in the fetal position and sucking my thumb. My 2nd shot I have to slide a 4iron thru about 4 pines and slice it back towards the fairway..I got the 1st part done but failed on the 2nd bit so managed to hit a person in the shoulder on the right rope line up by the green. I’ve waited my entire life to play Augusta National.I’ve taken 2 swings and hit 2 patrons. Put me down for a bogey and a solid 78 at the end of the day and I’m not saying I’m the reason but it’s no coincidence patrons are no longer allowed on left side of #1 Enjoy your #themasters (photo below is Dad carrying my bag in par 3 Wednesday)šŸ˜Žā¤ļø

We're hiring our first Investor Relations person. Based in our London office, it's not an investing role but it's a fascinating one. Broad exposure to our VC activities in Europe and the US. The right person may not be in an IR role today. frontlinevc.bamboohr.com/car…

For any CEO considering expansion to Europe, we’ve just released our most comprehensive guide. Based on a unique dataset that took us months to produce, it includes insights from a post-Covid world where growth is harder to achieve.
When the overriding message is 'conserve cash and preserve runway,' prioritizing European expansion can seem counterintuitive. But Europe is exactly where the best companies are heading. We’ve just released our 2023 European Expansion report - frontline.vc/expanding-to-eu… (1/4)
