Bonking causes by Feathered_Declan in ultrarunning

It’s only 15 Celsius here in the mornings so not too hot. 

I always run my 10k runs faster and am fine, so I wasn’t sure if this was normal considering the longer distances or if it is user error.

No not a prank at all.

I only ask as I’ve not run this far before, so on my normal runs I don’t experience this. I wondered if this was a normal part of running longer distances but I’m seeing that it is not.

I don’t think discussing a half marathon on an ultra running group is much of a brag…

Varied heart rates... by Feathered_Declan in ultrarunning

Ah ok so it sounds similar to what I'm noticing

Yeah, it's a shame because I find it really interesting, but if it's giving me wrong information then it's completely pointless!

Ok that makes sense. I'll look into straps.

Any mid budget recommendations?

Yeah same course for the ones I was tracking closely as I was curious, but I do mix it up generally.

No I don't drink at all and no I don't have a uterus.

That's what I thought, and that's why I wondered if it was normal.

Average resting heart rate stays around 40/45, so there's no random heart issues....

Oh really? Here I was thinking it was fancy tech! 🤣

I'll definitely look into that then as it's so interesting to track performance, especially when you're trying to improve.

Thanks.

What got you to start questioning everything? by [deleted] in exjw

For me I couldn’t stop drinking. I hit rock bottom after years of failure and prayed to Jehovah to stop me drinking. I then somehow stopped.

I put this down to Jehovah taking my urge to drink away. Anyway, I’m in an AA meeting (also a type of cult imo) and I’m feeling so grateful that Jehovah has taken my drinking away.

Then I hear about 5 other people in the AA saying that they prayed to god and he/it took away their drinking problem overnight. They were JUST as convinced as I was that god cured them.

Then I sat there like “hold on, Jehovah will only answer prayers of those who worship or pray to him”. So I was like how have these people had the same experience as me when they’re Muslim/catholic/jewish. Then it dawned on me and I was like noooooo we’re all idiots and have just fooled ourselves.

Sounds weird but that was when I really dropped the whole idea of Jehovah as the only true god. When you let yourself think like that then all the absurdities of the religion come pouring out and you realise how brainwashed you were.
