By age 30 I had PhD, two kids, toys all over apartment, drove atop of Hekla (peed against the wind) and made killer ravioli.

By 40 I will speak Japanese, sell three paintings and learn clarinet. It is known…🤪

Yup, acute renal failure, plus boron deposits I guess. But still isnt the brain of MAHA that one worm in his brain? 🧠 Worth suggesting back to your colleague 🤷‍♂️

Ah, well smartwatch VO2 max usually needs a lot of datapoints in time to get good estimate. Treadmills are usually easier to survive (shock absorption, pacing) than runs in nature. But still your VO2max is in excellent category for your age apparently so that is awesome 👏:)

Good work. Two weeks to go. Hope you will hit your goal 👍

Fact: Every four years the whole world is horrified and usually facepalms at whom you chose and vote in to lead the free world. 🤦‍♂️

Just to be clear Gibson did not directed nor written the script for the movie - he just starred in it. No need to shame the movie and all the writers for his behavior. 🤷‍♂️ That is all actors do, just read lines and smile. No need to give them power over the ideas.

Would it work on brain worms as well?

The evolutionary function of the prostate is primarily linked to reproduction and sperm optimization — it evolved to enhance male fertility and reproductive success. You are welcome. 🤗

I personally like Alan Alda. And I will miss Diane Keaton. That said…

Yes - race you should go full out. But not to kill yourself ☺️. You have good RHR 50 is great, VO2 max will go up with time. What you are building probably are tendons, muscles and cartilage - for your hips knees etc. So keep consistency of what you are doing, no need for speed. Build body first.

Hmm depends on sex, age and how long they are training. Zone 2 runs are good so you dont overtrain for your speed days. But that depends on your goals. If 5km per day in tempo is goal. Keep it. So far so good. 😊

Its good that you are training consistently and not overdoing it, especially with the asthma and post covid. But the HR plateau hold nicely and likely you will be able to hold faster paces for longer with more time. Just keep it consistent. 👍 Your RHR is good. Shows efficient heart.

Cool, keep it up. Your numbers look very good for a runner. 👌

He shouldn’t have, I agree. My boss also shouldn’t have falsify data - i cost him his tenure and job. But still I am not judging him, pressure from socialistic party and his family prbl did a lot on him. What Wilkins went through no one knows, well I dont.

Jan Blaha 🧬🎨🦤 @jahabla.bsky.social · 16h

Well, I never met him, only saw movies where he fits your description. But I am not judging anyone without knowing them or more about them. They all did good work as well, likely Wilkins could not know what will happen when he showed the photos. So…its not for us to judge I think ☺️ Up to you 😊

No, Cambridge boys club behaved horribly…men have penises, that doesnt mean they behave badly. But yes Rosalind would have gotten the model first. She is my hero 🤷‍♂️

The sad part is that she basically bathed in benzene to get the photos. Wasnt recognized for them. And likely got the cancer she died on bcs of them. Rosalind deserved to be recognized for her impact on science much much sooner, there is no question about that. 🕴🏻

Jan Blaha 🧬🎨🦤 @jahabla.bsky.social · 16h

Or Wilkins showed it to him, indeed, my memory is a bit blurry here. But as far as I remember from Rosalinds biography she was finishing the coal or virus papers and wanted to have full attention to analyze the photos, as would do I honestly. W spied and C scooped. Full stop.

Your HR at that pace of daily 5km is quite impressive. Can I ask about your RHR? 🙃

As far as I remember Franklin was finishing other papers and didnt have time to analyze the photos. Watson saw them, didnt understand the significance of antiparallel symmetry, but carried the information to Crick who explained it to him and then they were able to build the model…I think 🤔

Nice flat track, great music and historical city. Plus there are always peanut butter cookies as a post run treat in the covered market ☺️
