The Captains of Chaos

@Alan_Couzens When I look at my HR data for my marathon run last week, I guess that the decoupling in HR after ~32km was me starting to move to less efficient fibers as glycogen wore down. (I maintained pace all the way to the end).

@renewablesmiffy Someone needs to tell him about the design life of an oil rig.

[Ian @biscuitsgod]

@Alan_Couzens 8-10 mins to do a mile would be quite difficult if you only ever ran for a mile, so I suppose the only way to achieve that is to run more miles.

My goal is to get to 8min/mile, whilst BLa is closer to LT1 rather than LT2.

@LambdaStrength @Alan_Couzens The *real* bottleneck, which keeps training volume low, is doomscrolling social media...

[Ian @biscuitsgod]

@Efried97 @Hybridathlete I remember when I started doing the whole 'REALLY slow' thing, and I was shocked by just how quickly I was cooked - like 30 minutes or something. But that time started increasing very quickly, and then I was able to up the pace for the same lower heart rate.

[Ian @biscuitsgod]

@Efried97 @Hybridathlete I find my sense of accomplishment in being able to run for a long time, but I guess people have different goals. But I also have a point where the effort to go slower starts increasing (I guess you start directing the power up rather than forwards).

[Ian @biscuitsgod]

@MattMelcherPA @Alan_Couzens Personally I don't like Z0/Z1 - instead I prefer 'well below AeT' and 'extremely well below AeT'.

[Ian @biscuitsgod]

@MattMelcherPA @Alan_Couzens For me, Z1 effort is sufficiently below AeT that I'm not occasionally spiking above AeT if the wind picks up a little or the ground starts climbling slightly, and accounts for daily variation in AeT. So, maybe 7-10bpm below AeT.

[Ian @biscuitsgod]

@EatTheCrayon_ @Hybridathlete Slow down. The long run should be at a slower pace than the easy run. The goal is to add a bit more time to the long run each week, not more pace.

[Ian @biscuitsgod]

@Efried97 @Hybridathlete What is it that makes it 'boring' though? Instead of ticking off the mileage, why not change the metric and tick off the time?

Suella Braverman’s parents emigrated (those horrible economic migrants not from a war zone she hates).

She went to Cambridge for free and didn’t collect £27k debt like everyone else. Scrounger.

She used the Erasmus scheme to study in France. Which she has blocked.

Horrible.

[Ian @biscuitsgod]

@Brady_H Last year just before I ran a marathon, my watch said VO2Max = 51. (Was measured at 48 on a treadmill a few weeks earlier). This year, my watch says 49, but yet I can run further, faster and with a lower HR.

Garmin penalises genuine zone 1 efforts.

@Alan_Couzens ✅ 6km walk
✅ 10km Z1 jog (including some strides thrown in for good measure).

Burning through a thousand calories in a couple of hours.

@Alan_Couzens Pilots like to hand fly the plane when they can, because the instruments don't need the practice...

[Ian @biscuitsgod]

@Alan_Couzens Are we talking like once or twice a week to do this? Asking for someone who would like to do an anabolic reset with Easter eggs this weekend.

[Ian @biscuitsgod]

@DrNeilStone Yes. Why wouldn't I be?

[Ian @biscuitsgod]

@rec777777 I have an ICE courtesy car whilst my EV is in for repair. The ICE is an absolute piece of shit and is costing an absolute fortune in fuel to run. Weird why you fossil fuel lobbyists want to be poor.

[Ian @biscuitsgod]

@modernheroestv Brake lights don't even come on just because the foot is lifted off the accelerator, they come on when deceleration exceeds a certain threshold. And so you only lift the foot off completely when you want to decelerate.

[Ian @biscuitsgod]

@SimonMcCoyTV Do people who drive those outdated ICE cars not use brakes to slow down?

[Brendan May @bmay]

Oh no, but all the right wing free speech people moved there because the UK is a ‘police state’ or something. 😭
