Tell people to exercise at, say, 75% of their personal max, and the assumption is that they're all working equally hard. But they're not, and a new study shows that lactate levels after a single workout predict variation in fitness gains after 4 weeks. theglobeandmail.com/life/hea…

Muscle health is an important complication to consider in Type 1 Diabetes. Are current exercise guidelines sufficient? Very proud of @CynMonaco @HughesMeghan @ConnectInMotion and all collaborators. Outstanding collaboration with @thomashawke who brought this idea forward. teapawt.org/thomashawke/status/986…
