Lactate Threshold Test

Treadmill run at the physio to officially test my lactate threshold! Starting at 7km/h and increasing by 2km/h every 3 minutes, with my blood tested for lactate levels at each interval. Finished on 15km/h with a little effort but still quite comfortable…

I may not have the muscly gym-built body that is so prolific on social media nowadays, but let me tell you that regardless, it does what I need it to do and it does it well…

It’s strange on social media apps like this where everything’s so open, you still somehow manage to come across cliques or similar who seem to converse in in-jokes that you have trouble understanding - reminds me of my neurological shortcomings where I feel like the square peg in the round hole…

This is all spot on.
1/ Thoughts:

It's good when people who didn't agree with me change their minds.

However, exactly how much grace I offer them post-revelation depends on a range of factors.

My tent is big and so has room for many people.

It's also large enough that I can let someone in but not sit with them.
Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?
