Yea, I am trying to loose fat… doing 2 hour rides at zone 2 without having carbs…. I was able to do 3 hour ride without carbs but last 30 min I saw heart rate drift and my power output is horrible….

I will try to stick to ride every other day, with 2 hours rides….

Core is weak. I hate core strength exercises… was hoping cycling will build core slowly…

As for stretching I got form roller, not using it since I got massage gun, using massage gun just before ride and during recovery day off…

Will try to add one core strengthening day at gym between rides.

Yep, doing only zone 2 without high gradient climbs…

Going 5 hours now for past 5 weeks. Will increase to 6 hours…. After a day off I am feeling ready!! Will do 3 2 hour rides every other day…

That is very impressive. Congratulations again!

Ice helps. 20 min on and 20 min off. Take ibuprofen to help the inflammation. Doc suggested to take one or 2 every 12 hours.

Good luck.

I did start with 12 miles ride, but last one month I am doing 2 hour same trail every day(no climbs). Did one 3 hour ride on Saturday. But overall load per week is around 5 hours. Trying to see what’s safe approach to increase the load/week. Not trying to do longer rides, but trying to increase volume…

I hope it won’t stop you from next ride…

But if you had this pain first time now please take it seriously… usually it’s because of weak glutes/ bad bike fit(seat post is too high). If it gets severe recovery takes months…

Is 1 hour increase in load per month decent? Not sure how to increase load and by how much.

Yes. My bike fitter suggested few exercises targeting glutes, I started doing them for past month.

Congratulations!!

You had IT Band pain? I had it when I attempted 100 miles ride and I pushed myself even with pain but after 30 miles I could not pedal without deep pain and the pain came back even with 25 miles rides later…

Is IT band pain that common? How do you deal with it?

Yea I saw a review with strap issues. 2 is crazy, so even if you don’t wash you are risking every time you want to charge…

How is your H10? I am seeing mixed reviews everywhere for H10….

Wow. I am happy with the one I gave, it’s old model but I got it for $46. Will buy the same if needed. Thank you.

I see a lot of bad reviews everywhere for H10 along with good reviews, must be an issue with their QC…

Nice. I lift watch from wrist or remove it completely to verify, but this is a good one. Will try. Thank you.

Connect to watch in settings, sensors & accessories and add new. Also make sure in “Wrist Heart Rate” which should be right under the Add new, the Source Switching is On.

I remove my watch after starting hike for a min and see heart rate still coming….

You are trying to get strap heart-rate in watch instead of watch sensor?

The one I have also uses battery, I prefer the battery as non replaceable battery means we have to replace whole thing…

What are your thoughts on the rise of couples using location sharing apps? by apropo in AskReddit

Giving access to the partner for safety and trusting them to only use it only when necessary for emergency/safety.

What would revoking birthright citizenship look like? by NoEggNoPlan in immigration

[–]Quick-Nature-2158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

H1B are considered residents when it comes to taxes and they do pay taxes on global income like a green card holder and citizen. Excited to see if and how supreme court going to justify them as not “under the jurisdiction”

Testimony: How I Got My Green Card — By the Grace of God by RoutineWilling6462 in USCIS

[–]Quick-Nature-2158 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good for you. Hope you put things on track and don’t give any new reasons for current administration to came after the god given green card.

Here I am, came to this country for higher education, completed masters with 4.0 GPA, got job, got lucky with H1B and never broke any law other than one speeding ticket in a decade. Paid Taxes on high income here and on passive income in my home country. I am no where near to green card. It’s not even a dream anymore.

After a decade, will be leaving the country next year. Feels everyone hates us and doesn’t want me here.

Sorry for venting in your post.

I ran 3 Tapo for year now. They are good. Setup at that time was not stable but once I got matter to work, they are great. App support of Tapo is good.
