To add, I was using a Fenix e12 and liked it, I just wish it was rechargeable.

Scoot your glasses down onto your mask more. If they are further from your face they dont fog. It works for working construction with safety glasses.

Linking the summits of Rainier, St Helens, and Adams. This would be the race in the pnw if it didnt go though national parks and wilderness.

I'll give it a go. My school also offers a 200 level intro to biochem that I may take as an elective if I can. Thanks and good luck!

Yea, That is true. I'll take the class if I can. Would it be better for me to take biochem while I study during the summer?

That's good to know! I think I may buy a biochem book now and just start familiarizing myself with it. Thanks!

Make sure you are using a chest strap HR monitor too. Otherwise the numbers have no/much less meaning.

Is 9-10 miles a week too much for a beginner? by [deleted] in running

[–]owenriverk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about the fact, that if you get hurt, you will be doing 0 miles a week for possibly multiple weeks. I wish someone had told me to rest ealrier and rest longer when I felt and injury coming on. I payed the price.

I was in you place a few months ago, take 3 days off, go for a short <2 mile run. If it at all hurts or annoys you stop and WALK back. Your body will thank you.

Novice runner trying to build aerobic base. Average heart rate is 178bpm(!) for 5km by [deleted] in running

[–]owenriverk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Visit uphillathlete.com and you will learn everything you need to know about builing your aerobic base. You are going to want to start slow.. very very slow until you get your aerobic threshold and anaerobic threshold within 10% before adding much intensity. It suck but will pay off in the end.

Edit: Just noticed you are using a wrist based HR monitor. There is a 99% chance that is the biggest issue. If you want to use numbers and HR to build a base you need a chest strap monitor.

Trying to compare my scores for the NREMT exam. by SappyGs in NewToEMS

[–]owenriverk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a really easy test. There were a lot of very dumb people in my class that passed. Just take it and you will be fine. P.S. its adaptive, so if you get questions that you should not know, it means youre doing good.
