It provides a standardized measure of an athlete's performance based on their results in official trail running events recognized by ITRA.

Pequenos conselhos práticos - Solo Duro
Imagem do Blogue de Maria Tadeu Esta rúbrica é dirigida aos Trail Runners que se estão a iniciar na modalidade e que ainda não têm prática de uma vertente muito interessante das corridas em trilhos: o "solo duro". O que é o solo duro? "Solo duro" é a expressão que indica o pavilhão gimnodesportivo, ou outras instalações semelhantes, disponibilizado pela organização, para que os atletas possam ter um local onde pernoitar antes e depois de uma prova. É solo duro, porque não inclui camas. Na melhor das hipóteses conseguem-se umas esteiras usadas na prática da ginástica e que se encontram disponíveis no pavilhão. Quanto a mim, trata-se de uma excelente opção para pernoitar, por várias razões. A saber: é gratuito; conveniente; normalmente encontra-se perto da linha de partida; e propicia o convívio.

- What’s your secret? - I am just gonna keep running… Cliff Young I will write this post in English. Actually, I will mostly just re-print information from several sources, but I will show all references, in order not to incur in plagiarism. This is the story of an ordinary man who performs extraordinary feats. His name was Cliff Young, and he was the least likely hero that any Nation could come up with.

Fundamental laws of stupidity
The Most Dangerous Force: Carlo M. Cipolla and the Laws of Human Stupidity In 1976, the Italian economic historian Carlo M. Cipolla published what may be one of the most disturbingly timeless essays of the 20th century: The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity . In just 60 pages, he set out to explain what he believed to be the greatest existential threat to humanity—not war, not disease, not greed, but something far more pervasive and insidious: stupidity .

Agnotology: How Ignorance Gets Manufactured
Agnotology: How Ignorance Gets Manufactured 📖 What Is Agnotology? We often think of ignorance as simply not knowing . But there’s a deeper, more troubling form of ignorance: the kind that’s deliberately created . That’s what agnotology studies. Coined by historian of science Robert N. Proctor , the term comes from Greek agnosis (“not knowing”) and -logy (“the study of”). Agnotology explores how misinformation, suppression of knowledge, and distraction are used to keep people uncertain. In other words: ignorance happens — but sometimes it’s made to happen.
Is Agile the new workplace totalitarianism?
“He who is subjected to a field of visibility, and who knows it, assumes responsibility for the constraints of power; he makes them play spontaneously upon himself; he inscribes in himself the power relation in which he simultaneously plays both roles; he becomes the principle of his own subjection.” — Michel Foucault, Discipline and Punish
