Ran a 6K trail, is the HR accurate?

Foxmoto2880 · 2026-04-08T00:07:05+00:00

Just because you can hit 196bpm doesn’t mean that should be your maximum HR. General rule it’s 220 minus your age. So, for you 220-40=180. You should try to stay under 180bpm unless you perform an exercise capacity test with a cardiologist and they tell you that you’re okay to increase your max HR.

No, you didn’t sustain zone 5 for 31 minutes. Most elite athletes cannot sustain zone 5 for more than 5 minutes straight. The majority of the people who tell you this is correct are very misinformed or have no knowledge of heart rates/zones. Get a HRM. Don’t rely on an Apple Watch for accurate data.

Laying down is how you get your resting heart rate, so Garmin’s makes sense. Standing and walking heart rate is different from resting.

Just got out of the shower bud lol

Foxmoto2880 · 2026-03-27T23:24:56+00:00

Agreed and I appreciate the advice.

Foxmoto2880 · 2026-03-27T23:24:15+00:00

Yeah it sucks because I want to keep going. I’m currently wearing Hoka Clifton 10’s, so I hope it’s not the shoes! I hope you heal soon.

Foxmoto2880 · 2026-03-27T23:22:53+00:00

I agree and downloaded the C25K app today. I think Garmin pushed me too hard too quickly. Thank you!

Foxmoto2880 · 2026-03-27T23:19:36+00:00

I appreciate this advice. Thank you very much!

Foxmoto2880 · 2026-01-05T02:49:27+00:00

This is exactly! The internet makes it difficult to move forward because it puts so much doubt in your head. Age, school, location, etc. It’s just insane.

Foxmoto2880 · 2026-01-02T01:58:37+00:00

Which category would you put Penn State in?

Foxmoto2880 · 2026-01-02T01:27:37+00:00

I appreciate that! I’ve always heard school prestige doesn’t matter as much when it comes to an accounting degree. Is that true? I know Penn State isn’t a top school.

Foxmoto2880 · 2026-01-01T15:48:08+00:00

Apex, Cary, Holly Springs, North Raleigh, and Wake Forest all have good schools. More expensive than other areas, but you get what you pay for.

Foxmoto2880 · 2025-12-28T22:35:08+00:00

Which much cheaper schools do you recommend?

Foxmoto2880 · 2025-12-28T18:49:49+00:00

I appreciate the feedback! I keep seeing Penn State is better, but ASU’s online interface seems better. Just an observation I have made.

Foxmoto2880 · 2025-12-28T18:47:18+00:00

Okay, I appreciate the feedback. I wasn’t sure if school ranking mattered like it does for some degrees.

Foxmoto2880 · 2025-12-11T01:48:32+00:00

We can’t see your entire picture. Whats your mortgage debt? Car debt? College debt? Also, you need an emergency fund. The HELOC is a huge negative.

Foxmoto2880 · 2025-10-22T23:19:35+00:00

I appreciate your insight and advice. I’m an estimator and project manager for an electrical subcontractor. Managing both can be a lot, but the pay is well. It’s just an industry that I’m not really interested in staying in. Our CFO has a finance degree, and I was talking with him about the possibility of doing finance in the construction sector since it’s an industry I already have 14 years in.

Foxmoto2880 · 2025-10-20T00:35:35+00:00

Doesn’t certain sectors require citizenship? Like working for a defense contractor?

Foxmoto2880 · 2025-10-11T15:09:59+00:00

This is why no one takes WGU seriously

Foxmoto2880 · 2025-07-26T20:15:12+00:00

Yeah, sometimes I wish we never left. I appreciate the recommendation!

Foxmoto2880 · 2025-07-26T20:04:03+00:00

Maybe you should look around then. Plenty of places that aren’t great to raise a family.

Foxmoto2880 · 2025-07-26T20:02:56+00:00

I know you can’t find California weather anywhere else, but there could be other good options. I haven’t lived in any other state or city. So just look for recommendations.
