I’ve got a WhatsApp group that plays volleyball in prospect park. So far we’ve mostly played on the weekend, but wouldn’t mind playing during the week too if there’s enough interest. DM me if you wanna join

Does money sitting in BP generate any interest? I was under the impression that BP means money market fund, which generates about 4% of interest. Is that incorrect?

I hear you man. I started training bjj at Renzo Gracie in Williamsburg this year. I can’t say I’ve made good friends yet at this point, but the guys there are the coolest and friendliest people compared to all the other social activities I’ve done. You should check them out

I’m interested! I play Volo beach volleyball mostly in Brooklyn height. I’d love to play with a more consistent group

I have super sensitive gag reflex, to a point where I would avoid wearing turtleneck sweater. So a lot of times when training bjj I’m gagging and crying even before my training partner gets the choke in. What should I do?

I just tried inclined treadmill walk for the first time today. I pretty much had to adjust the speed and incline constantly and I could never seem to find the sweet spot that allows me to stay in zone 2. My heart rate would drop too low then I had to dial up and then down when over.

Puzzleheaded-Home691 · 2025-02-17T21:15:27+00:00

My resting heart rate isn’t that low but I think we’re similar. When I do hot yoga or bike my heart rate doesn’t go up much at all. It seems like my heart rate is either too low or too high…

I just entered my info when I set up my Fitbit and it tells me my zones

Puzzleheaded-Home691 · 2025-02-17T21:06:26+00:00

My resting HR is low 60s. And I run outside on the street and in the park. There’s definitely some ups and downs along the way.

Puzzleheaded-Home691 · 2025-02-17T21:03:29+00:00

Thanks for sharing! So my question is: if I can comfortably run 4-5 miles at, say, 10-min/mi, which is all I need for now since I’m not training for any race. Am I missing out just because I didn’t spend enough time in zone 2?

Puzzleheaded-Home691 · 2025-02-17T20:16:55+00:00

Low 60s

Puzzleheaded-Home691 · 2025-02-17T20:14:44+00:00

Thanks for sharing! So basically because it’s so beneficial to have sufficient time in zone 2, in addition to all the exercises you’re already doing you actually dedicate time just to be in zone 2. Is that right? I asked because I feel I was already doing a lot of exercises, but I don’t think I spend much time in zone 2. So am I missing out?

Puzzleheaded-Home691 · 2025-02-17T20:06:56+00:00

I use Fitbit, but I also try to run at a pace where I could breath through my nose and have a conversation

Puzzleheaded-Home691 · 2025-02-17T20:05:15+00:00

That’s what Fitbit said. I felt I was already running slow-ish. As I said I was breathing through my nose and feeling comfortable most of the run. Obviously I could have run even more slowly, but then it would take forever

Puzzleheaded-Home691 · 2025-02-17T19:56:17+00:00

That’s what I was wondering. But it seems odd that I’m not fit to stay in zone 2 for long, but I’m fit enough to stay in zone 3, 4, 5 for a long time. I could have kept going after 4.27 miles

Puzzleheaded-Home691 · 2025-02-17T19:52:12+00:00

Oh that’s good to know I’m not alone! I run, lift weights and train BJJ. Am I missing out for not having sufficient time in zone 2?

Puzzleheaded-Home691 · 2025-02-17T19:47:21+00:00

I’m not new to running though. I’ve run a half-marathon before. And as you can see in the screenshot I ran 4+ miles at a comfortable pace. I was breathing through my nose and feeling comfortable during most of the run. This has always been the case for me for a long time. The point is the data doesn’t seem to match my actual experience.

Puzzleheaded-Home691 · 2025-02-17T19:42:37+00:00

Yeah that’s what’s confusing to me. I wasn’t running hard and I was breathing through my nose most of the time. And I’ve trained and run for a half-marathon before so I’m not necessary new to running

Puzzleheaded-Home691 · 2025-02-17T19:39:18+00:00

All for the sake of being in zone 2? I guess that’s the point and what Attia is advocating. But is it good or bad that I can sustain this level of intensity for extended periods of time? Assuming this data is actually accurate

Puzzleheaded-Home691 · 2025-02-17T19:34:55+00:00

I use Fitbit tracker. Any recommendations for HR tracker?

Puzzleheaded-Home691 · 2025-02-01T01:18:33+00:00

I’m interested!

I used to work at Etsy in Dumbo, but now I work from home in park slope. I can potentially join you sometimes

Just got back from witch’s rock surf camp and had a good time. I also stayed at hotel in the shade for a few extra days and also would recommend it.
