"84% of athletes who share their activities on Strava say exercise—even solo—helps them combat feelings of loneliness (that’s 11% higher than a random sampling of active people that includes non-Strava users)." I found this one super interesting. I use Strava but I try not to go on it much. I only follow 10 of my friends. I know I'm going to compare myself to other runners which will make me feel like crap. Same issue people have with other social media sites like Instragram. There's always someone faster than you who ran more miles. I hate seeing that.
Thank you for the great review of the Novablast5. I loved the 3 and was so disappointed in the 4. Was not sure if it was just me or the shoe? Based on the performance of the four, I was ready to give up on the novablast. I may have to give the five a chance and see if I like it.
I like a good recap as a data point. The real juice is training strategies that are affective over the long haul. These are difficult to winnow out. How do you optimize your training time to bring the best you to the fore? What's more useful a 10 minute kinetic warmup or a 10 minute graduated run warmup? How important is the post run stretch and roll? Training loads, what are they, how do your recognize them, which ones are most useful for different scenarios? This is just a small sample.

I love that you figured out the $$$ amount of your protein shake consumption

As always I love reading your perspective on issues and product recommendations.
