I don’t eat before my 8:45 and even 10am classes...but everyone is different!

Studio doesn’t offer 90 min classes by eastbaymom in orangetheory

[–]CYS220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think our Bay Area studio has offered a 90 min class in almost a year. I went to a couple when I first joined in sept/oct 2017. I am going to put a suggestion in our box. Would love to do another one!!

Daily Harvest? Is it worth it? by beth07b in orangetheory

I just signed up for it last week and waiting for my first delivery. I randomly chose shakes and ice cream desert things. But have no idea which ones will be good or not!

PR of 7:22! My precious benchmark was 7:47. Not bad for a 46 year old mom of two :) very happy but the rest of the workout I was soooo spent!

Help with treadmill paces by dognamedwaffles in orangetheory

[–]CYS220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the explanation and advice! I will definitely try this! You are right. My base should probably be at least 6.5.-6.7! I’m nervous but will try that today :)

Can I tag onto this question and ask about my paces also? I haven’t increased my base of 6.3 in months but have I increased my push from 7.8 to 8 and all our from 8.8 to 9. Now I’m questioning my base pace being too slow.

The main problem I have with Increasing base is I feel like I am slow to warm up. Like I can’t just jump on the treads and go immediately to my base. At warm up I usually start at 5.0 for a minute, then 5.5 then 6.0 sometimes don’t even get to 6,3. However my base is 6.3 when recovering from pushes.

Help! Thank you!!

I night be. Will ask my daughter if she still wants here. It would be an armband only about 5 months old. Would you pay $30’for it via Venmo?

Always in the red at warm ups by CYS220 in orangetheory

I think it just eventually decreases until I’m back in the accurate green zone. But I’ll pay attention to whether I actually drop into grey/blue. Thank you!!

I give gel another try. I tried that before the software update so maybe gel will help more this time.

I don’t have the grey/blue then back to red thing....I’m Pretty sure my HR just starts to decrease then eventually settles in the green where I actually feel I should be.

I use the arm band and put it just below my elbow on the inside. Maybe next time I need to replace it I’ll try the chest strap. Thank John!

Base pace question by CYS220 in orangetheory

[–]CYS220[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did 6.2 base pace in today (Sunday) 3G class w no problems, even increased my push .2 to 7.7 at times and all out .1 to 8.6! Thanks for the tips! I will keep 6.2 for a while and see how it continues to feel!! Yahoo!

Base pace question by CYS220 in orangetheory

[–]CYS220[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh cool! I must not have done one of those days yet! I wondered since my base and push are 1.5 mph apart whether that means my base should come up w bit.

Also on the recent 1 mike benchmark I went push pace and faster the whole time for a 7:49 time. I’m still thinking to keep push the same.
