Shout out to all those who said he won’t be any good in a few years once all the big dogs catch up with the aero game. Little did they know what would happen when he catches up with the training game 😂.

The British hour record distance increased by 197m. By an amateur. @DanBiggles22 . Ranked 2nd all-time in the hour record. Not bad for someone who was told by “experts” that ‘when everyone else gets aero, he’ll be garbage’ 😂. #BradIsBroken #Spinal #bunchofamateurs #HourRecord.

The Hour Record in cycling is as simple and iconic as it is brutal: ride as far as possible in one hour. Alone. No place to hide. Esp if you blow up. Our case-study gives a unique insight to the difference when it's going well and not (task-failure!).

Saw the @UCI_Track race amendments and if team sprint is going to be 3 riders for men and women (rightly so), the 1km TT should also be available for women to race, as well. Why not? It’s already an established event on tandem #throwingitoutthere.

FTP can be used as an easy way of comparing average power over a fixed time over a season or between riders. But, at least for the moment, IMO, that is where it should start and finish. So much more you can do with a power meter….

Our latest publication. Going off piste and examining running: comparing critical speed and D’ of a 2 and 3 point model. Hopefully, it helps coaches, practitioners and researchers wanting to use CS #yogging #criticalspeed #runningperformance @running_science @campbellmenz.

24 hours ago, everything was ok. Now my wife has gone to stock pile all of life’s essentials in preparation of the corona virus pandemic. What did she come back with? Hand sanitiser? Toilet roll? Nope. 20 tinned tomatoes. 🤨🧐 #coronvirusuk #survivalessentials @JenSmith1850

A number of former British cycling riders, coaches and staff that are with other nations here at the Olympic Velodrome. All taken different routes. Interesting article by @owenslot at @thetimes about of a few of us. My path was not “traditional” as I’ve never ridden a race!.

British cycling lost its edge because top coaches forced to go to rivals.

SONIC BOOOOOM! @Scottie2507 and @SophieThornhill show the kilo performance on Friday was no fluke and clock 10.974! Fastest ever time by a female tandem (but not official WR) #queensofthetrack.

Very good article about the stresses of being a PhD researcher: a few euphoric highs, mostly lows, never an “off” button and ultimately, burn out/identity crisis that effects your personal life.

Latest work from PhD: reliability of sEMG isn't very good for sprint cycling assessments with or without single-joint or task specific normalisation. Is it needed when assessing changes longitudinally? Free copies here: ..@GlynHowatson @goodall_stuart.

WELL DONE LAD. Great work - from being dropped to doing 4.25 monster turns on the front and going 3:57. not many people can say they’ve done that time - let alone that turn around (in a season)!

The Ghana tandem first rode the track in November at the Manchester C1 and only ridden the track twice in total. Only got their bike 10 days ago! Good luck to them! #CWG2018 #trackcycling.

Epic effort from Iran. Tactically played well and we deserved something out of it. Lost my voice with the ruled out “offside” goal. Worth it. #IRAESP.

For those who say psychology is a pseudo science or if you want to watch a really interesting social experiment looking at the effect of social pressure, peer pressure and ideologies- watch @DerrenBrown “The Push” on Netflix #netflix&nochill #mindblown.

😂😂😂 10.9s for 100m is what you expect a decent county level sprinter to do…and the worlds fastest women do 10.6s…from a stationary start. The time Mbappe is said to be doing is the 100m equivalent of a country mile behind Bolt’s worst times let alone WR!.

Kylian Mbappe has clocked an estimated speed of 10.9 seconds over 100m 💨. That's just over a second slower than Usain Bolt's world record 😳. #UCL
