303abuser I think duration matters right? If I run 30 mins at a decent pace I’m prob going to reach a higher heart rate than 10 × 25 second uphill sprints

      Jules72 i guess? i figured the intensity of sprints would push it up a bit, but i’ve never actually tracked it.

      i did a slow 5 km on ice this morning, that was a good time.

          Jules72 yeah i sprint until i basically can’t, then take a break. it’s 100% effort, then rest, then do it again. on the long, steep hill that i run, i’m betting my heart is near 185 most of the way up.

              Jules72 it’s a 450 meter hill at a 10% grade, so maybe 3 minutes up then walk down and i do that 5-8 times.

                  Jules72 call it what you want, 100% max effort all the way up. it’s obviously going to be slower at times. it’s a great workout for both speed and endurance.

                      Jules72 any hill works, i just like the short version for short intervals and the long version for strength/speed/endurance. the fact that we’re having this discussion probably means we’re both doing the right things. 🙂

                        Has anyone who has been taking Magnesium noticed any impact on their hair… pretty sure mine feels thicker - no bad thing for many of us?!

                          Jules72 i asked my wife, she said it’s not likely, but she didn’t look it up either. vitamin a and c or biotin could theoretically make a difference.

                              Too much DHT gents, get the zinc and omega 3 down you!

                              303abuser I’ve read on the www internet that it does help keep hair healthy…. No idea but mine does feel thicker

                                  Jules72 hey if it works, keep at it.

                                  i did a little over 13 km on my run today, my knees feel like they’re failing with every step. 😅
