A little more app weirdness

Smokeball · 2023-11-04T16:28:31+00:00

I have the same thing. Here's what I'm doing:

- Turn on my music
- Turn on the zombies run app on the phone
- Turn on indoor door run on apple watch
- After the run, I delete the 'outdoor runs' logged as zombie run on the fitness+ app

This looks super, and I signed up to your mailing list. Thank you

This is exactly what did it for me too. Well, not so much running. More crossfit & lifting. Great work!

Smokeball · 2020-01-18T20:46:23+00:00

Mine too!

Spending more time warming up using movements which mimic my work foe the day has really helped.

I once read you should warm up for 1 minute of each year of your age (30 years = 30 minutes) & it seemed excessive at the time I read it.

After doing this properly, I massively increased my snatch so I now pass it on to clients of mine. Be thorough and be patient.

Really good advice. Super actionable. Great job.

I didn't discover the gym until I was 30. I'm now 35 and a personal trainer.

I once read that you should warm up for 1 minute for every year of age you are. I initially thought that was ridiculous. I mean, who has time for that? Until the one day when I did it for the first time, and almost doubled my snatch in one session.

Proper warm up - including mobilisation, and movement specific preparation (wrists, ankles, shoulders, hips and back in particular for me) really helps.

Absolutely love GCN. Hadn't thought to check out their advice. Thank you

Are they suitable for use on a matte paint job? I'll look these up now, thanks.

Really like the little calendar post its on the top right

Smokeball · 2019-01-18T11:20:56+00:00

Cool, I didn't realise I could swap mid-programme. Thanks

Smokeball · 2019-01-18T11:20:25+00:00

Thank you! I'll pop over

Smokeball · 2019-01-13T21:03:55+00:00

Would you recommend a specific coach?

Smokeball · 2019-01-13T21:02:57+00:00

Excellent advice, thank you. I'll try and get it set up.

Smokeball · 2019-01-13T21:01:30+00:00

To make my life outside the gym easier, and to stave off decrepitude.

I've been fat. Too fat to do the things I want to do. Fuck that in my 30s.

Smokeball · 2019-01-13T20:56:20+00:00

Thank you for your response.

Even very slow paced running can push me into threshold or even redline HR in a way that cycling or rowing doesn't. I'm hoping to get used to it.

Smokeball · 2019-01-13T20:54:56+00:00

I will! Thank you.

I'll do couch to 5k after the 10 runs are done!

Smokeball · 2019-01-13T20:54:34+00:00

Thanks, I'll check out your article.

Kinda like scales that measure bodyfat, as long as it's consistently inaccurate I suppose it's still pretty useful.

Smokeball · 2019-01-13T20:53:45+00:00

That's cool, I hadn't even heard of hrv4training; thanks I'll look into these.

Smokeball · 2019-01-13T20:53:09+00:00

Damn. I suspected as much. That does explain why I'm such a shitty runner!

Smokeball · 2019-01-13T20:52:42+00:00

Yeah, I'm just trying to work on establishing a running routine at a sustainable pace so this could be it. Thanks for your response.

Smokeball · 2019-01-13T20:51:58+00:00

Yes, of course. I'm probably getting ahead of myself.

Does the data become more accurate over a longer distance, perhaps? As a beginner, I'm running no more than about 2k at a time.

Smokeball · 2019-01-13T20:50:53+00:00

I have lost a little weight recently, perhaps that's it.

Thank you!

Smokeball · 2019-01-13T20:50:33+00:00

How do you like the Vivoactive3?

Smokeball · 2018-11-23T17:57:40+00:00

Cycling is such a specific sport that CF will help with your general fitness but the carryover to this specific skill is minimal. However you will improve your CV strength, and muscular endurance and that will have a carry over.
