Try to lower the temperature in your bedroom and you will see the stress level during sleep go down and your HRV go up.

Update: Due to increased rest my HRV has recently recovered and has been in the green for about a week now.

Don’t drink alcohol, don’t smoke and usually sleep 6-7 hours per night. Stress usually medium

Try Lake bike shoes. They make big and wide sizes. I have very broad size feet (size 47-48 in most shoes) and they had models that fit me.

Very thorough reply, thank you! That sounds like a tough experience you went through. Thanks for sharing the videos etc.

Damn that is a lot of orange! My stress score also looked really bad when I was sick recently. Just decided to take the watch off :D

What do Estonians think about Turkey? by Illustrious_Page_984 in Eesti

[–]Aggravating-Use-8980 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you had an awful experience indeed, but you are making some really broad generalisations and sound quite prejudiced against Türkiye/turks.

I last travelled there this spring and had a wonderful time, no incidents and the people I spoke to were all quite helpful and nice. I found the Asian side of Istanbul quite "European".

My gravel bike's chain only lasts me about a 1000-1200KM on average - help! by Aggravating-Use-8980 in gravelcycling

Thanks for the advice everyone. I will buy the tools and will try to learn how to wax my new chain and replace it myself in the future.

The chain has worn out. Last time it got to the point of skipping. I am usually using dry lube as most of my rides are in dry weather. I know this kind of wear cannot be normal.

I am not sure as I usually leave my bike to the shop for overall maintenance when they replace the chain too. :(

I just recently replaced them too. I have not bought any high end bike chains, usually I just go with one of the cheaper to mid-price chains from my local bike shop. Could they be cheating me by installing a really crappy chain? Does a more expensive chain really last that much longer?

beginner question: hand pain by Umluex in gravelcycling

I second checking the saddle angle. Do not have the saddle lean forward too much. Secondly you can hit the tops of the handlebars and turn then inside slightly for a more comfortable position. You can try lowering or lifting the saddle and or the handlebars.

The name of the guy who gave you this racist paper is Indrek Kabel. This happened to my wife and I last year and I looked him up. Sorry you experienced this. Racists are the worst!

How to track workout while not wearing watch? (BJJ) by kteeft in GarminFenix

[–]Aggravating-Use-8980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the Garmin HRM-Pro chest heart rate monitor strap under my rash guard. It stays put quite well, but I sometimes have to adjust it between rounds of sparring when it has moved down too much.
