John Kelly the winner, and only finisher, at the 2017 Barkley Marathons was 61st male (66th OA) at this years Ironman in Kona and had a marathon split of 3:00:42. This not to speak on what is harder - I have my thoughts on that - as in many places I posted on this that is the direction the post went. The post was intended to show the versatility of John in being able to not only do both but to finish and do well. Check out the Ginger Runner interview with him at the bottom of the page or go here.

The answer from experience, even if studies are not conclusive, is that standing desks work great. However, you need to not just stand but vary your position and routine including moving around. To just stand as the article states will compound issues like PF but also sitting while a recovery time is not the best posture for recovery. I think they are a great investment but are to be used as with anything as a tool.

Speaking os Strava if you use Chrome and like data you might try the StravistiX Plugin
How often is something just taken as fact if you use the word "science" in the advertising. But is science really what drives most sports nutrition sold to the public or is it about using the word "science" as a marketing tool. Much like the marketing campaign selling Chocolate Milk as a sports drink even if it does contain around 24g of sugar per cup uses the terms "backed by science" because it sells. This article shows how "science" can be manipulated as the study mentioned to support chocolate milk had it compared to other sugar laden drinks so it did not prove it is the best but that it was maybe the best among sugar packed drinks.
