Hi,<br /><br />As I posted before my SPM was usually 37-38. Most of the people here said that was way too high so I experimented with a lower speed. A few things happened when I did this:<br /><br />1. I was able to increase the force of my pulls by 10%.<br />2. My arms give out before my legs, aero...

I ran a 5 mile race with the flu, won't do that again. I think if you have a light cold and no flu, working out is ok, it helped me get well very quickly.
