Can you tell my weekend run was very windy? Took me over 8h to do only 55km & 1500m elevation 😭 But my it’s exposed up on the South Downs & i guess weather meant it was a great chance to check out some key bits of kit for upcoming #Winter200 ultra!! 😍 #runsky

Meaningful processing: tasks where students explain the material in their own words.
Retrieval: recalling from memory to ensure they actually know it, instead of just feeling like they do!

It seems similar to the idea of inflexible knowledge (there's a nice @dtwuva.bsky.social article about this)?

It’s been a week since I started the #Winter200 mile race, and gutted I had to DNF 28h later with a knee injury, after having only covering 92 miles.
It reminded me that running ultramarathons is hard, and my osteoarthritis needs to be managed better 😬
