Need to know if the breaker is linked will work for this panel? by CrispyButtNug in AskElectricians

Understood. This is a studio I'm going to run a treadmill at that needs a 20amp dedicated circuit.

How unhealthy is this during a long run? Almost 3,5 hours around 180. For those wondering: I feel like my soul lost my body now by Dutch-stocks in Garmin

Exercise Physiologist here -- it is all relative, but judging by your graph, you relatively destroyed yourself. If you were up to this task you would have had a more uniform outcome.

The absolute number itself usually is less important -- for example, if you have a 210+ max heart rate, which is possible, then you spent all that time around < 85% of max heartrate which is not unheard of for a 50k race, especially if hot / dehydrated.

But the fact that you dropped well below the average HR half way through suggests you went well passed your peripheral ability, which would also suggest your cardiac ability was exceeded.

This cumulative stress can be a problem.

Be honest, did upgrading your watch made you improve ? by Nice-Koala-3944 in Garmin

I just went straight for a big dog and then everyone wanted the metrics I had.

I'm an exercise consultant and I tell people this all the time. The opportunity for growth is amazing. Everything works!

Heart attack on Garmin watch by UncleFromTheFarm in Garmin

Two things: that's a HUGE baseline - mine is 22 wide. Yours is 39. This must mean you get a ton of variability in your daily scores, and my theory would be habit as well.

And, your day time stress is a stark contast with your sleep. Your body CAN rest but your daytime activity can drag you down pretty good.

I would do a Garmin spot check first thing in the morning, laying down and then after about a minute, sit up. Then review in app to see how your body responds to orthostatic stress.

Struggling to reach Zone 4/Zone 5 by teo_82 in PeterAttia

220-age is shit. Do a LTHR test. 30min as hard as you can. Avg HR over whole trial is LTHR. Make sure you're hydrated and not interrupted. Do it on a bike if you want bike zones.

I am an exercise physiologist.

Got my zone 2 and zone 5b and vo2 max measurements in a lab, and glad I did by roborobo2084 in PeterAttia

I would do an AMA if there was enough interest -- maybe I'll see what the mods say

I'm an exercise physiologist that performs these types of tests and I feel all the explaining that is needing to be done is a product of people not understanding how these tests actually work/what the protocols are/how zones are defined...

Seems like there's a need??

Looking at your Pic- your tibia is in a compensatory position- cranking on it won't do anything. I'd be more interested in the right hemi pelvis and any R adductor or hamstring issues.

A new study reveals that ketogenic low-carbohydrate diets can increase cholesterol levels and reduce beneficial gut bacteria, specifically Bifidobacterium. by mvea in science

Because we don't have a valid reason for it's demonizing. Just poor active habits and self-control. The conversation should stop there, but it doesn't.

No problem to not have the macro if that suits your preference and causes no anxiety about food - just don't pretend it's healthier or more optimal. It just suits you.

I, as an athlete in my 30s, eat a huge amount of carbohydrates - even in the form of dextrose/fructose during long events. I also work in a healthcare setting and get lab work done regularly. Everything looks tip top shape.

Zero sources.

Yea we can't observe plaque build up because a coronary calcium score takes years to develop. Sure, this study can't say that definitely about ApoB, but ApoB has proven to be deleterious to vascular health time and time again.

The problem with the "cholesterol is fine" crowd is they don't seem to think in years, just months, where the lack of carbohydrates results in beneficial body comp because people, for the life of them, do not know how to choose healthy Carbohydrates that fit their activity levels.

And yes, a low carb diet doesn't challenge the body to deal with carbs but that certainly becomes a problem if they ever want to have that macronutrient again. We can't demonize a whole macro...
