This is unlike any sports science book you've ever read, because it's much more than a sports science book. I hope you have fun reading about the culture and humans behind the Norwegian method, and learn a bit of sports science along the way.

- Replying to @bbculpThanks for making this such a positive thread. I didn't know that was possible here. A lot of you said you wish you had a dog right now. I can't imagine not having one. If you want a dog, please adopt. This is our shelter dog, Fox. He's the best bad dog in the world.
- Now that you know what social distancing is, try using it when you pass a cyclist with your car.
- I can't believe changing their name to Russian Olympic Committee for a few years didn't fix it.
- Sometimes I think triathlon has a lot of problems, but I just watched a man who missed 3 drug tests this year win a world title over a guy who's served multiple doping bans in an empty stadium in the Persian Gulf because someone bribed the IAAF to put it there.
- Today is the 10-year anniversary of the time a really important guy in an Audi blocked a bike lane in San Diego and tried to fight me, so my buddy reached into his car, took his keys, and we both rode off along the coast. Happy that day to all who celebrate.
- Sometimes it blows my mind that track isn't the most popular sport in the world.
- An observation about cycling in America after 18 years of doing it: Every pickup driver wants to kill you and every Subaru driver is willing to drive through a field to give you as much room as possible.
- Imagine watching college basketball right now when you could be waiting for some nondescript guy named Keith to tweet about a bunch of weirdos jogging around a Tennessee state park while looking for book pages. #BM100
- Athletes on plane wearing Kona finisher medals. Athletes at O'Hare wearing Chicago marathon finisher medals. Endurance athletes, man.
- Some personal news: I have a son. Update the doomsday clock. (Happy + healthy 🤱+ 👶) 🙏
- What a relief to know that none of the Team Sky or Oregon Project athletes were using any of those darn drugs that their coaches and doctors were trafficking.
