"

"A question frequently asked is how one goes about improving run ability, in particular the three determinants of performance: economy, lactate threshold, and VO2max. In this article, I will largely focus on improving running economy to further develop run performance. Running economy (RE) is defined as the energy expenditure (expressed as oxygen consumption, VO2) at a given running speed and RE is a critical factor in distance running performance. A question that exercise physiologists and coaches have been attempting to answer is how to improve RE due to its significant role in performance."

"Starting a company in 2011 is great. Back in 1999, when we started Ximian, the only tools a small startup could afford for their internal infrastructure were mailman and perl. It was ugly.<br />
In 2011, the best tools on the planet cost $25/month, billed to your credit card. In just a few minutes you can have better infrastructure than most fortune 500 companies. It’s incredible."

"In short, you just can’t lead a normal life with Fitbit. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from the Fitbit experience, a lesson about the future of personal informatics, it’s that we simply won’t have accurate and reliable personal systems until the devices themselves are immune to these everyday emergencies and accidents and inconveniences. Until they’re virtually invisible and forgettable, probably embedded under the skin, we will be forced to consider personal informatic hardware as intrusive medical devices rather than as the ethereal, ambient data sources I think many people envision."
