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. 😅

                              303abuser apparently your testosterone drops if you run too much 303…. One reason why I stick to 30 mins

                                  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.

                                    Interesting podcast on the neuroscience of depression and what you can do to prevent it…. Think I’m going to try the cod liver capsules and creatine he recommends

                                    Being back in the Lakes again and doing a lot of hiking, you all do it rough! Over this way, mostly because it’s so steep, trails do switchbacks (places like Yosemite and much of the Bay there’s not much choice). But the hikes in the Lakes were like, nope, you’re just going straight up - we don’t care. Enjoy going up ’cause it gets the heart rate going but heading down is a pain and hard on the back.

                                    Wansfell is right by the ’rents house and is a lovely hike. Doesn’t look like much but it is deceptively difficult. I respect the hill runs!
