Just done my longest (this year) easy run - 17km/10+miles. Feels like it should be a well-deserved rest day tomorrow (or maybe it’s ok to fit a short run?) 🙃

Down 55km/34miles for me this week as had two days off running. How’s your week been?

Could’ve been worse — look up rhabdomyolysis. Only learnt about it from watching a doc about an Ultra runner.

How do you approach it re: hydration/carb load etc pre/during/post? I’ve been taking nothing on my long runs but they are typically 10k-14k (less than 10m), I just do recovery post. Would imagine you need to take any HM+ distance a bit more seriously?

77km/48mi this week. What’s yours?

Wow, running a half marathon just as usual morning run 😎 I’d have been dead for the rest of the day after that. 😂

First week of the month is almost gone - what’s your mileage? 25m/40k for me, including one day off. Appreciate it it’s not much by standards of some of the regulars on here 😂 Might do another easy run tomorrow.

Been listening to the discussion below. They seem to suggest that the classic combo of deadlift, squat, bench is out dated and is not safe as we age. Worth considering.

If you ever decide to look into this further, I’d suggest developing VO2Max to improve hr/pace relationship. Using Norwegian 4x4 is one option to do so: https://www.ntnu.edu/cerg/hrmax It’s also helpful to use Karvonen formulae to define zones if you know your resting HR. Combined with Z2 at...

You don’t have to if you don’t want to 🙃 As long as you are happy / realistic with whatever your goals are. Out of interest, what’s your zone 2 and how did you establish your HR max?

In a nutshell(from Outlive by Attia): Further argument goes that zone 2 helps to develop and maintain (especially with age) healthy metabolism etc Nothing is wrong with just running but if you want to maximise the benefits it’s worth looking into. Attia advocates 3h minimum per week in zone 2.

It’s the camera placement/angle. Having seen them up close at the Open - the ball was by front foot for all of them.

What about the bottom - that will spin and balloon the ball flight. Generally, to max the distance we are looking for the strike that is high on the club face strike with positive AoA that will produce high launch /low spin “knucklebombs” 😎 Lofting down would normally open the club face (by...
