Which one? He’s training with Colin Chartier and Rudy Von Berg at the mo. Chartier won the PTO event a few weeks back.

Not sure I understand the question.

I don’t get how two athletes being injured with stress fractures is relevant to effectiveness of doping in LD triathlon. Although, low T does increase the likelihood of getting stress fractures. Anabolics don’t make you stronger or bigger, they improve recovery that allows you to train more/harder.

Stress fractures are down to too high in absolute volume but too fast a ramp in volume (& and intensity).

I got one in my foot in 2020 and all I did was change from running in woods near the office to the same amount of running on pavements due to WFH. Running load was no higher but the change in surface was enough. It isn’t the hardness of the surface but the regularity that was the problem in my case. I have previously had probably double that weekly volume on the road with no problem.

I was about to say other than rivers there’s no where around here to OWS on a Thursday but then remembered if you get in early you can swim at Roundhay Park. As long as you’re finished early enough everyone (LCC or park employees) pretends they don’t know it happens.

You’re on. I’m going to do it Friday.

I’ll miss the 6am session as Thursday will be a late one which means I can machete through the lunchtime head up breaststrokers (which will give them a similar experience to @Matthew_Spooner when those M25-29 boys catch his wave……)

Interestingly just seen that Iden has signed with On shoes. So no carbon bounce plate for him. I did like an On shoe back in the day, but didn’t buy them as they were too expensive at like 130 ish. Oh how I laugh now!
