It’s estimated that there are over 2+ million scientific papers published each year, and this firehose only seems to intensify. Even if you narrow your focus to fitness research, it would take several lifetimes to unravel the hairball of studies on nutrition, training, supplementation, and related fields. This is why my team and I spend thousands of hours each year dissecting and describing scientific studies in articles, podcasts, and books and using the results to formulate our 100% all-natural sports supplements and inform our coaching services.  And while the principles of proper eating and exercising are simple and somewhat immutable,...

In my memory it was warm that September in Hungary, much warmer than it looks in the pictures I have from that trip. The smell of cigarettes lingered on the streets of Budapest, the industrial smell of gasoline remaining long after cars had motored past. The scents felt trapped, suppressed; in my memory it was because of this supposed heat. I recall the sun’s rays against my cheeks as my mother and I stood, both travel weary and weary, at the Fisherman’s Bastion in Budapest—an old, beautiful stone tower and wall overlooking the Danube River. “It’s ancient,” our tour guide,...

  By Lyndsay Hayhurst Women and girls’ increased access to bicycles can support sustainable development, says the UN. Yet, write Lyndsay Hayhurst and Mitchell McSweeney, the bicycle may also exacerbate gender inequality There have been reports in the media of a pandemic-era ‘bicycle boom’.

With its fast ferry network, quiet roads and jaw-dropping mountains, the Helgeland archipelago is the perfect place to try e-bike touringI balk a little at the idea of riding an e-bike for our multi-day trip across the Helgeland archipelago in northern Norway. Bar a brief pause in my 20s, I have ridden a bike most days of my life without electrical assistance. And we’re only set to average 22 miles (35km) a day, albeit carrying a week’s worth of clothing, which I don’t usually do.“You’ll enjoy it more this way,” says Maylinn Storjord at the tourist office, where my friend...
