It gets tricky with age I found. I have to do enough progressive training - pushing the limit - to build muscle but too much is overtraining & counterproductive.

Then there’s the protein because that’s what makes muscle during recovery time & the older we get, the less we’re able to metabolise it.

Well, AI will wreak pain on us in the future for what cruelty we do to them in the present. 😂

& Sarcopenia! 💪

I did this a few years back & it surprised me as I don’t usually feel sweaty on a run, only after I get back indoors.

It was probably about 10k, moderately intense (above zone 2) & I lost about 0.9kg.

I’m not sure the average density of sweat, slightly more than plain water, I guess. 🤷

Poor folk have to earn a crust whilst rich folk have theirs removed from their teatime sandwiches by servants.

I think some of us were being held back by the system as children.

That reminded me of the story of two hikers in the jungle coming face to face with a tiger.
One begins to change his boots for running shoes. The other says, “don’t be stupid; you can’t outrun a tiger!”
The first guy carries on & says, “I don’t need to outrun the tiger, I just need to outrun you.”

Supposing you weren’t training for a marathon, would running still feel like chore?

Have you tried taping the offending area?

“Sports Tape”, sold by the roll, quite inexpensive.

We’re experiencing a rare prolonged sunny spell right now. Hope it stays good for you next week.

Yes, something wrong with the link here.

The link posted a couple of posts earlier works though.

Funny but I don’t see many green peppers here in England, mainly red. I got one today & tried that Italian-American dish, peppers & eggs, for lunch.

green pepper
yellow onion
eggs
evo oil
sea salt
black pepper

I didn’t buy bread so made flatbreads: flour, greek yogurt, sea salt.

Very tasty. 😋

Okay, reading further, I see there is a phenomenon known as “cadence lock” which confuses the watch’s optical HRM into reading arm
swings as pulse rate.

Hmm, that could explain why it shot into zone 5 right from the off.

A solution may be to wiggle the watch about & tighten the strap if you can.

Thanks for those links.

Mine is only the Forerunner 45 without whistles & bells, but I see users have issues with more expensive models too.

It doesn’t happen too often but it makes me think whether it’s precisely accurate at all, when I believe it’s working correctly.

Sprinter. 100m, 200m & Relay.

In winter, opted for XC as opposed to rugby as the quicker you finished 3.5 mi, the earlier you got off home. 😝

“pretend to scroll”

Boy, I feel sorry for this paranoid guy.
