Most influencers get fitness wrong. They tell you to obsess over finding your Vo2max. No need for most. They preach HIIT or zone 2…and neglect the rest. Here’s the truth if you care about improving aerobic fitness for your long term health: thegrowtheq.com/longevity-and-…
A MUST read for endurance athletes and general athletes alike. Thank you Steve! 👇

I’m investing in improving Instagram this year! What to expect: -Deeper dives into peak performance, resilience, and sustainable success… Follow along here: instagram.com/stevemagness/
The internet has made it too easy to fool ourselves into thinking we know something. We've eliminated the work between unknown and superficially known. It's been a disaster to our mental health and functioning. Doing the work is vital. Being okay admitting ignorance is too.
The little voice inside your head saying, “I can’t do this,” is often a sign that you’re on the right track It’s your mind trying to pull you back to the familiar path that represents your comfort zone Just-manageable challenges are about choosing a slightly more demanding path
Life is too short to spend it with energy vampires. Surround yourself with people who lift you up, who inspire you to be your best self.
How do you help your child become a champion? Chill out! Here are 9 lessons that I wish every parent knew when it came to supporting their child’s athletic and academic pursuits: thegrowtheq.com/how-to-raise-a…
A former NFL GM told me these were his rules were leading: 1. Strong goals 2. Knowledge & preparation 3. Athletes want to succeed, show them how and have confidence in doing it 4. Prior success only buys you time 5. Show that you genuinely care about them 6. Get leaders on board
Life works out if you let it. Don’t force things. You are going to experience some tremendous highs and some depressing lows. But life works out. Ride the waves the best you can. Figure out what actually matters to you, and work hard towards that.
Let's talk about VO2max and longevity. The majority of the research does NOT use VO2max. They use a simple measure of fitness, such as speed you can run. For health, focus on fitness. You don't need to measure VO2max. A scientific rant: thegrowtheq.com/longevity-and-…
We've got a banger of a newsletter tomorrow! It's a science-led rant on a topic in exercise and fitness... If you want it in your inbox tomorrow morning, it won't disappoint: thegrowtheq.ck.page/steve
How you do one thing is not always how you do everything. Some of the hardest working, detail-orientated in their sports athletes I've seen are 'messy' & 'lazy' in the rest of their life. If they were always on...they couldn't give as much focus & energy to things that matter
The new exercise influencer growth hack: 1. Take lots of testosterone 2. Work out and get super jacked 3. Do all podcasts, interviews, reels shirtless. 4. Sell your diet/training/supplement. Steroids fueling much of bro culture.
Do Hard Things is currently deeply discounted! 🔥🔥 If you haven't read the book and want a deep dive on how to develop resilient teams and individuals this is the best price you'll get. (It's also a great chance to grab a few copies to gift.) amzn.to/3OYaZId
Don't wait for motivation to strike. Start where you are, with what you have. Action fuels motivation, not the other way around.
Losing well is about creating space between who you are and what you do and having multiple sources of meaning in your life. This allows you to occupy a place where of course you want to get better, but it’s not the end of the world if you suffer defeat. thegrowtheq.com/the-benefits-o…

@BowTiedRunning Most people don’t have access to a lab or the equipment to get a proper vo2max test done. And most people don’t even understand what the values mean.
@BowTiedRunning “nobody outside of the fitness bubble even knows what a good result is”?? Everyone in the USA has run a mile for gym class. I grew up in a different country, and I ran the mile for gym class. Mile time is much more understandable & accessible for folks here than vo2max numbers.
@stevemagness @BowTiedRunning Totally agree. A novice - without any idea what feeling super fit even feels like getting a VO2 max test (and spouting off about it) is kind of laughable. Waste of money. Instead - hike walk jog cycle swim. Do the actual work. For many years. Don’t put the cart before the horse.
Rather like this
The little voice inside your head saying, “I can’t do this,” is often a sign that you’re on the right track It’s your mind trying to pull you back to the familiar path that represents your comfort zone Just-manageable challenges are about choosing a slightly more demanding path
@stevemagness EXCELLENT post Steve! It has everything I need to know about the topic and way more than that! Any endurance athlete should read this. I am retweeting and keeping a copy of it. I appreciate the links to references. Thanks!
A MUST read for endurance athletes and general athletes alike. Thank you Steve! 👇

Shorts over tights? We're runners, not the JV high school baseball team 😂
@stevemagness So it's influencers thing? Coz last few weeks Twitter is full of this vo2max thing. if it would be so great and most important thing I would be World champion with my vo2max back in my racing days and I was anything but that. 1/2
@stevemagness Another thing is that it seems like everyone found out Z2 is the thing... Finally even if it's only 30 or 40 years since they really found this out and started to use it in endurance sport 😂
@matt21000 @jkjt11 @MavicDronePilot @StephenSeiler @inigomujika_en @Alan_Couzens @stevemagness Steve's manual was an enjoyable read
Somewhere along the line the accepted social definition of ‘capitalism’ was changed From ‘the free exchange of goods and services’ To ‘Social Darwinism and the deification of the profit motive’ Don’t conflate the two since they are not similar
Steve says very similar to what I say but in an actual scientific way rather than my coarse bro science writing style Highly recommended follow

@stevemagness Thanks Steve. Good stuff. Simple and useful.
@stevemagness Great article and great summary. It's human nature to look for that 'one thing' to get faster, improve fitness, etc. Especially with social media (or media in general), espousing the 'one thing' draws eyeballs and get the clicks. If only it were that simple.
@JoseAntonioPhD @stevemagness There knowledge likely comes from other TikToks and Reels. It is a self spreading phenomena.
@stevemagness The internet allows you to access both the New England Journal of Medicine and a post on Reddit from Slappy’s basement. The problem is some folks think they are of equal medical value.
Yes this exactly! A lot of Running “Influencers” also generally over- emphasize weight/strength training and “diet/supplement hacks” (in relation to distance running performance) as well imo. A lot of them just stated running marathons a few years ago….

@stevemagness As a personal trainer/runner with some coaching experience - I think the "obsession" with Vo2 max can be limiting (unless running fast is your actual job). Most don't get a legit test and it plays into the comparison game which can mentally be destructive.
