How safe is it to clamp these Clip on bars on a carbon cockpit that's not offcially supporting this? I guess its not that big of an issue as you guys are kind off promoting this?
You cannot have pizza while you suffer of celiac disease.. you can die and have really bad reactions.. its like diabetes.. you can't have a lighter one.. you have it or not..
I got myself a dry snorkel(Decathlon) rotated the mouthpiece to make it a center snorkel and fins are a must have. As for a pull buoy I have just inserted a piece of plastic pipe through the kick board grip cut out and hold it between my legs having my knees rest on the pipe, works a whole lot better than the pull buoy for me.
Of course the £600 one is going to be better than the £99 one 🤷♀️ as a newbie who doesn’t want to spend £600 on a wetsuit this really wasn’t very helpful. Compare different levels ?
I'd like to point out that calculating pace is not quite as simple and easy as just "dividing by 5". You need some conversions if your desired pace isn't divisible by 5. If that is the case you take the decimal 'off' then multiply it by 6 to get the minutes. Example for a 29 minute 5k pace. 29/5 = 5.8 8*6 = 48 Pace = 5.48min/km.
I'm not sure why this popped into my head, but could you do some vids testing out different VO2 max and lactate threshold tests? It could answer questions about the accuracy of our watches and whether lab testing is really worth the money. As some of the tests can be done as races¹, it could also be fun way to show how these very abstract things relate to performance. ¹VO2 max can be tested by running a 5k or by seeing how far you get in 12 mins (cooper test). Lactate threshold can be tested by running a 10k
Im male swimming for 2months daily ... Eating just normal home food lost 6kgs from 100to 94.. target is 80kgs in a year with out loose skin.. swimming 1hr 400meters almost
Physiology, heart rate isn't even the best measure of zone 2. Lactate monitoring is more accurate. But simply put train hard enough but not too hard do get zone 2 effect.
I’ve been wondering if there’s a difference between running and cycling heart zones? For me, running with an HR of 175 feels easy, hard would be over 190, and I would max out around 200, but full on cycling my HR doesn’t get much above 170 and easy is more like 140 bpm or less. My guess is that running uses more muscles than cycling, so the lactate is less concentrated in specific muscles, but puts more burden on the cardiovascular system as a whole, but when cycling, muscle strength especially in the thighs is the limiting factor rather than overall cardio fitness. I generally don’t do much high intensity cycling though, so the difference could just be due to the difference in how I work out, but I’m interested if this is obvious and well known already!
