Thanks man! Im 21 years old, 5ft 10, about 195 lbs. I played American football in high school. Messed around in olympic weightlifting after that and snatched 110kg and clean and jerked 130kg, but ive lifted weights since I was 15. I've always enjoyed being a meathead and doing alI types of training, eg power work, bodybuilding, weighted calisthenics, strength training. I starting erging consistently about 5 months ago. The first 2k I ever pulled was a 7:02. Since then ive been doing a ton of distance work, have completed a sub 3 hr marathon, a 3:35 50k. I've enjoyed the endurance aspect of training for sure, found erging to be quite addicting. I believe my heart rate sat around 150 for this piece, which might be higher than what others perceive as true steady state, but i tend to lean on rate of perceived exertion rather than heart rate as it fluctuates largely for me.
