I have always said that I appreciate more the path than the destination. Races give me a goal but I enjoy the process to get fit for the races. I enjoy training.

I am not a huge fan of Rhonda Patrick to say the less but this interview with Pr George Brooks from Berkeley is good. It’s a great introduction to Pr Brooks theory of lactate shuttling. He has fought the idea that lactataemia is due to an oxygen debt and prove that there is a lactate production even with plenty of oxygen and that lactate is a fuel source for cells, a source for neoglucogenesis and a signaling molecule.
