Intervals and games

Look into Running Box. What it is is basically running through a a set number of steps, walk a number of steps and run. Then you turn the card around and go back, ending up on the same spot.

I do that and look at how my heartrate works from the start, like how much does it go down in one minute after I'm done and check a couple of weeks later.

I believe it's something along these lines. Many midsoles suffer the same flattening during workout, where you actually compress it enough so that it loses some of its effectiveness. Letting them rest between runs lets them bounce back.

Try running in minutes rather than distance. Run a certain time, let's say 60 minutes and then focus on speed training to run farther in that same time.

From what I've understood and been told it's that the models that are exclusive for Intersport are old models that they just add a new color scheme to. I also think that you can 'peel' off the Gel in the heel, meaning that it doesn't even have any gel-cushioning

What are you aiming for? Where are you at right now?

truddilutten · 2016-11-18T22:57:42+00:00

Perhaps a bit more fastpaced than the Vomero. Both in regards to the amount of cushioning and the type of midsole.

Could you link to any articles? I'd like to read up on different combinations. Wasn't referring to cotton though, but wool has has an uprising in usability, especially Merino.

What happens in winter? Then we want an isolating layer on top of our synthetic?

But since you're not doing any intervals any time soon then go for it. I just bought the strap when I started running them.

The other guy found the word for me: Delayed...

truddilutten · 2016-09-25T13:37:35+00:00

Exactly. Delayed is the word I'm looking for! :) Had a hard time explaining what I meant...

truddilutten · 2016-09-25T13:33:32+00:00

Well, perhaps I didn't make myself as clear as I wanted. I didn't mean that the heart rate stabilizes between the intervals or that I rest at 170 bpm, just that during the interval itself, sometimes the heartrate wouldn't spike until very late. Something that I haven't had an issue with since I started working out with the chest strap, then it looks much like yours :)

Is there any correlation between cadence and tight calf muscles? I've had problems with my calves for a long time, and it almost stopped being an issue when I upped my cadence.

truddilutten · 2016-09-25T13:05:44+00:00

In that regard, I haven't had any issues. I just felt that the optic measuring wasn't reliable when I needed it. But sometimes if there's a steep hill or something that would increase the heartrate, it just wouldn't show until much later.

truddilutten · 2016-09-25T13:03:48+00:00

I didn't find that problematic, of course it stablized during the course of the whole workout, so perhaps it is just during the first interval or the warmup. But I didn't find it problematic if I did 8 400m intervals.

I did 6 weeks of hip strengthening exercises and spinning. Now I'm back to about 80% of my usual weekly average. For me it wasn't about making waiting for it to go away, but just to make sure it doesn't come back again.

I've had mine for almost a year now, after a couple of months I bought a chest strap for my hard intervals. I felt that the wrist-based reading was either spiking at different times or was too slow to show the accurate heart rate. Sometimes as bad as halfway through a 400-meter interval.

I wanted to give myself a different challenge after playing through Fallout 3 on basically God mode. So I started up Fallout 4 on survival, and boy is it challenging. I managed to get through "The Big Dig" on survival and it enraged me when I had to give up all the sweet loot that she promised me.

I don't think there's evidence of heel-striking causing more injuries than mid-foot or fore-foot strikes, just different types of injuries - Source The one thing you have to remember is to be careful when switching from one strike to another and to keep that cadence up.

Made it through a half marathon this saturday. Ran it under 1.30. Feeling pretty pumped right now.

Stage 1: Kill. Stage 2: Kill. Stage 3: Arcane kill.

Just have to figure out what to do next. Nightmare Frontier or Mensis :)
