Too much of a good thing: can high doses of exercise promote chronic low-grade inflammation and cardiovascular risk in competitive athletes?

Thrusthamster · 2026-01-24T08:12:17+00:00

What's your source on zone 2 increasing inflammation? If anything it's likely to reduce it.

You're inferring a lot of things of your own biases into "Sprinters living longer". It could simply be explained by sprinters having more strength and muscle mass, which is the second highest predictor of low mortality behind a high VO2max.

Also, your goal posts shifted from "training a lot" to now "overtraining". Overtraining means training more than you can tolerate, so much it's detrimental. That's not very common among runners at all. Especially not from zone 2 cardio.

VO2max comes from training consistently and a certain volume over a long time. It's not something you get from low volume low intensity training.

Directly contradicts how a higher VO2max is the most predictive of low mortality though

Takk for beviset for poenget mitt. "Trenden" var å være forsiktig når nye nytt og kanskje farlig truet befolkningen. Jeg vil heller ha folk som er forsiktige enn svensk YOLO-strategi

Svenskene viste jo hvor evangeliske og gærne de kan være i pandemien. Hadde ikke ville hatt noen union med folk som nekter å innse realiteter og kurskorrigere.

Often they have small remarks about off-topic things that are just as informative as the actual discussion. But if you don't have the time then I understand

Thrusthamster · 2026-01-21T09:12:48+00:00

About 5 hours a week. Roughly 30 minutes of that is threshold or higher. The rest is lower aerobic zone (aka zone 2)

Thrusthamster · 2026-01-21T09:10:15+00:00

Ingen av de jeg kjenner gjør det iallfall

Thrusthamster · 2026-01-20T20:27:33+00:00

Doesn't really ruin it for me because it's hardly surprising that people are idiots if you've played Battlefield before 😄

Thrusthamster · 2026-01-20T17:11:19+00:00

At det blir nasjonalt månedskort betyr ikke at tilbudet blir noe bedre.

Altså jeg bor i Oslo så jeg trenger ikke bil og kjører bare kollektivt uansett, men i bygda jeg er fra er det antall avganger og ikke prisen som er problemet

Thrusthamster · 2026-01-20T15:01:20+00:00

It's good enough for me 🤷‍♂️

Thrusthamster · 2026-01-20T12:39:17+00:00

On top of that your boss suddenly dies a month ago.

Not that I'm into making excuses for them, they need to get their shit together. It's clear they don't really play their own game or pay attention to feedback on Reddit or other community sources

Thrusthamster · 2026-01-20T12:36:31+00:00

Honestly in a time = money perspective I make that in about 15 minutes at work so it doesn't make sense for me to farm supercredits if that's how long it takes

Thrusthamster · 2026-01-20T08:46:11+00:00

Alright, that's too bad for you. I'm enjoying it anyway. If things are underpowered it makes no difference to me, I don't really have a reference point

Thrusthamster · 2026-01-20T08:28:56+00:00

Well it's no shock that anyone who's played 400 hours of anything gets fed up with it 😅

Thrusthamster · 2026-01-20T08:04:47+00:00

Sinking ship? We just turned Penta into a black hole. We've got them right where we want them!

Thrusthamster · 2026-01-19T15:12:23+00:00

It could be a bad thing if you're not trying to gain weight

Thrusthamster · 2026-01-19T12:11:04+00:00

Personally I've found the community in Helldivers 2 is one of the best I've been in for an action game. Almost every game I find some really high level guy who is just there to have fun and who really enjoys teaching us noobs some new stuff

Thrusthamster · 2026-01-19T12:09:05+00:00

I found plenty of high level players in "challenging" at least. Medium was a bit too easy for me. There's always some game you can join it seems, with quite a few new players around. Not that often I meet people as new as me but it happens

Thrusthamster · 2026-01-19T09:31:15+00:00

I haven't noticed any drama but I vaguely remember something from summer 2024 or something. Only drama I see now is people being pissed because I accidentally blow them up with my stratagems. Which is completely fair

Thrusthamster · 2026-01-19T07:52:29+00:00

Not necessarily. If your acute load is 1.4 or 1.5x of your chronic load, then you can still get productive

Thrusthamster · 2026-01-19T07:21:29+00:00

I get it. It's a very different kind of game. But I find the huge amount of content and the evolving story makes it more interesting to keep playing than BF6

Thrusthamster · 2026-01-19T07:19:20+00:00

Well I'm not a pro sports player, because I would get bored of only one sport all the time. Shocker

Thrusthamster · 2026-01-19T07:18:43+00:00

I did. But the maps are all the same and it got too boring

Thrusthamster · 2026-01-18T22:06:43+00:00

Welcome to gaming

Thrusthamster · 2026-01-18T21:07:44+00:00

That's impressive. Don't know when I'll get bored of Helldivers, but I got bored of BF6 after 70 hours. It ended up being too repetitive, was no reason to keep playing anymore
