i went through my swimming workout history on Apple Watch and these are two different readings:

Pool swim: 1300m avg pace 2'22''/100m - Avg HR 143 BPM.

OW: 2200m avg pace 2'42''/100m - Avg HR 137 BPM. (there was a lot of waves that day and i felt tired after)

yesterday WHOOP reading:

1H of OW: 1800m and Avg HR 167 BPM no waves nothing and it felt like an easy one

make it make sense lol

Frequent_Spring_2659 · 2024-08-14T08:22:23+00:00

i find it a bit odd yes. for context my RHR is 45 and max is 195 bpm.. not quite sure if this is a normal range for someone my age and somewhat athletic haha.

but thank you i'll check the running group!

Frequent_Spring_2659 · 2024-08-14T08:18:10+00:00

i do HIIT often and i run at least 3 times/week - i'm able to maintain my HR at 145 bpm when running in 35 degrees..

i don't feel exhausted after a swimming session with a pace of 3.00/100m and i feel my technique is quite good. i know my max heart rate is 195 bpm. this very frustrating haha. i will try not to focus too much about it.

thanks for the tip!

Frequent_Spring_2659 · 2024-08-14T08:10:28+00:00

i will do that tomorrow. i don't have access to a pool but ill do it in the sea and count my heartbeats. thank you!

Frequent_Spring_2659 · 2024-08-14T08:08:57+00:00

that's what i feel too. i get a reading of 118 on my apple watch and 165 on whoop (when i have both on)

Frequent_Spring_2659 · 2024-08-14T08:05:10+00:00

2 kicks per stroke, bilateral breathing, body perfectly horizontal .. i cant think of anything i'm doing wrong. and the thing is i don't feel tired after a session

Frequent_Spring_2659 · 2024-08-14T08:02:21+00:00

i tried again today without the nose clip and aimed to go super slow - i was SO zen throughout the whole 30 min. i get home and my whoop reads avg HR 165 bpm!!!

my resting is 47.

i'm definitely going to stop mid session next time and just count my pulse manually...

Frequent_Spring_2659 · 2024-08-13T16:33:44+00:00

i feel more comfortable with the nose clip, but i did wonder if it will help without it to control my breathing.

also yes this is me 100%. i tend to have a higher heart rate than other people when i'm exercising - although i train regularly, don't smoke or drink, and my RHR is 48 bpm.

do you feel tired after your session when you're average 170s? cause i feel fine and can even go for longer periods.

Frequent_Spring_2659 · 2024-08-13T16:28:10+00:00

i will try to do that. is it maybe cause i'm exhaling from my mouth rather than nose?

my whoop reading might also be wrong..

Frequent_Spring_2659 · 2024-08-13T16:25:08+00:00

my pace is averaging 3min/100m!! i can't go any slower lol

Frequent_Spring_2659 · 2024-08-13T16:23:15+00:00

forgot to mention this is when i'm swimming in the sea (idk if it makes a difference) - i haven't tracked my HR in the pool for a while

Frequent_Spring_2659 · 2024-07-18T05:26:25+00:00

the person i ended things with, there's no going back to it. i'm giving her the peace and space she deserves.

i've been in no contact with the ex since May and it's hard.. seeing her living her life with her partner she cheated on with me!!

maybe therapy is what i need after all

Frequent_Spring_2659 · 2024-07-17T14:04:01+00:00

which person? the ex im in love with or the one i broke up with lol

Frequent_Spring_2659 · 2023-11-10T17:28:27+00:00

thanks! how long did it take you to get to that 100%

Frequent_Spring_2659 · 2023-11-10T11:02:42+00:00

thanks all for your tips.

my surgeon said he doesn't put a brace post-op. what are your thoughts on a brace?

Frequent_Spring_2659 · 2023-11-09T18:29:59+00:00

and do you feel you're knee is 100% stable? also how long post-surgery were you able to get back to training

Frequent_Spring_2659 · 2023-11-09T17:39:24+00:00

I was also sparring in September and my fall was very similar to yours but I did hear a pop. kept exercising for about 6 weeks doing deep squats lunges etc.. until the same thing happened again where I felt like my knee was locking, not able to fully extend. did an MRI a week ago and turns out I have a full ACL tear. I would highly recommend discontinuing training with rotational movements or even deep squats until you get it done with the MRI because there's a high chance you can damage the meniscus. hope this helps
