This week starts with some absolute abhorrent behviour from Xylon before we get into some great community shoutouts. We then touch on athletes and accelerated recovery rates, why the NFL is hard to transition to for rugby players and Jan Frodeno’s chances at the OCC race at UTMB. We discuss the beer mile world record, and then our big topics; injuries and illness in cycling (how common are they?) and some research on microdosing testosterone and EPO.
