From one piece A better way to think about Zone 2 4 beliefs, in the piece's order there
-
Their words
But there is a downside to being very precise about a prescription: the prescription can start to sound more important than the objective it was designed to serve.
-
Their words
VO2 max, the peak of our triangle, is one of the strongest predictors of all cause mortality at any age, reliably predicts the physical activities we can take part in in our daily lives, and slowly decreases as we age.
-
Their words
This is what tells us how to train: as the practical constraint on volume changes, so too does the appropriate tool.

Zone 2 training is a way of accumulating aerobic volume cheaply, not a physiological lever with magic of its own.Their words
Zone 2 isn’t a secret physiological lever, nor does it provide some sort of mitochondrial magic that only exists at this intensity.

From one piece Zero coronary calcium does not mean zero cardiovascular risk 2 beliefs, in the piece's order there
-
Their words
A zero calcium score is reassuring, but it is most reassuring when the rest of the risk profile points in the same direction.

Their words
In other words, the absence of calcium is not the same as the absence of disease—it may simply mean the disease hasn’t reached the stage CAC is designed to detect.

From one piece Does losing sleep mean losing lifespan? 4 beliefs, in the piece's order there
-
Their words
Given what we know about sleep loss, that conclusion makes sense—but being reasonable isn’t the same thing as being proven.

So a rough night here and there is nothing to agonize over.

-
Their words
Population-level studies will keep struggling to prove that short sleep shortens life, because they are structurally unable to separate cause from symptom—and the genetic tools meant to overcome this limitation inherit a different fatal flaw.

From one piece Metformin and cancer: active surveillance needed 3 beliefs, in the piece's order there
-
Their words
That’s a lesson we could all learn about our approach to supplements and even drugs: not to fall for hazy promises that a single molecule will deliver vaguely-defined benefits for all aging persons, but to demand rigorous evidence for well-defined benefits for well-defined problems in well-defined populations.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
