I have very little to offer the running world other than to encourage everyone to read Nate Jenkins’ blog

@bbculp Oh no I was really hoping I wasn’t verging into “same joke, but worse” territory! But yeah it is crazy

@B_Holmer 5 miles continuous at HMP is tough!

@jonkalis When volume is high and especially when doubling its 2-3 times a day like clockwork

@_thedescent_ The two ideas I can think of are that my max hr is entered wrong, or my training doesn’t match up perfectly with what the algorithm would want to see. Other than that I’m not sure

@stevemagness No one wants to watch 10 hrs a week of me slowly jogging up and down hills with a few strides and threshold intervals sprinkled in!

@DrTEHughes Thanks! I was curious because mine tend to predict considerably slower than I race. But I’m starting to get enough data points to see that it is consistent (about 4-5% slower). Makes me wonder if I have my HR entered incorrectly or my training doesn’t fit with their algorithm

@GrandSlamTrack @CitiusMag For those wondering (and correct me if I’m wrong) we’re looking at 2k at T. 2k at 3k/2 mile pace. 5 x 1k at T. 4 x 200 at 800m pace.

@ChrisChavez Duck duck goose

@jem_arnold Yeah I’m not sure what max hr tells you that you couldn’t get from threshold hr which seems easier to find or approximate

@feelthebyrn1 @B_Holmer I haven’t used bicarb yet, but what a genius idea for it! Thank you! Even though I’m a little upset that you made me want to go find my max hr now haha.

@dcjorgenson @B_Holmer Obviously Brady has had a lot of success going the other direction, so not trying to take away from what he is doing at all.

@dollarsanddata Same people who call investing a portion of their next paycheck, “dollar cost averaging”

@matthew_brunken @B_Holmer My theory is that a 3k is more similar to a half marathon than a half marathon is to a marathon. Since 3k-hm is most limited by LT and the marathon adds a metabolic component

As I’ve been building mileage back up, I’ve unironically been enjoying going a little too hard to be a purely easy day and finishing with a very hard last mile that puts me over threshold, but isn’t long enough to get a good VO2 stimulus.
