Mental and Physical health hacks, resources and advice

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.

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!

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.

Jules72 yeah i’ll see how that goes. i’ve decided to do a half marathon training schedule, with the aim of 1:45 by mid july. not sure if i can do that, but i need to get back into shape.

For those of you interested in keto, this is a good watch. It goes into the role of ketones in mitochondria decoupling and how it relates to longevity. I may read his book as he seems to approach keto from a slightly different angle and I like the idea of cycling in and out once you’re adapted.
