top of list is 1MM meters in 3 weeks? 50K a day? Wow.

I'm a little behind on this should hit 200K next week.

I figure in another week or so I'll switch to intervals for better cardio. ??? Intervals are generally regarded as strength builders, with distance work for cardio improvement. When I saw "intervals" my mind went to HIIT as that's what you'll see discussed on the strength training forums. When OP p...

Sounds like a good start. The two work very well together. I'm finding that rowing on the day after lifting really helps recovery. SL you start with just the bar, you will know you are out of recovery time when you start to miss, but that should take a while. I would not lift on Sunday and Monday ba...

I'm not certain about a watch, but I am able to have the end result you're looking for if I understand you. I am assuming iOS. Get the Polar Beat app. This will be handle saving the workout results and managing the H7. You only need to use the H7, no watch. In the settings for the heart rate sensor ...

I need to have a physical this summer, so now that I am aware of this I will have it checked. Although this doesn't seem to be a severe problem (it may not be a problem at all), summer won't be here for a while. Since this occurs fairly consistently and showed up only recently, I would get it check...

Thanks for the concern Sekitori, I appreciate your viewpoint. I really was not thinking of this as a medical issue at all, just a training thing. More along the lines of how the aerobic system works and how activity and physical condition interact. I need to have a physical this summer, so now that ...

Just finished a 40 minute workout. 2x15' + 1x10' At 13 minutes in first piece, HR went from 136 to 172 in about 10 seconds. Recovered back to warmup level in 4 minutes, started again, this time it went to 160 at about minute 3 and stayed from 160 to 177 the whole way through. Just to test I pushed h...

Good thought. Next time it happens I will check. It is a brand new Polar H7 chest band.

i have only noticed this when trying to stay in UT2 so going pretty easy. Now that I knew what to search for, I read through the paper on cardiac drift and the discussion and while I do see this it isn't what I am experiencing here. What I am seeing is a jump from 125 to 150 in two seconds, almost l...

Ah yes, now I remember. It has happened when my basement was 50F so hydration is my guess. I will correct that. Thank you.

Last week I took a bad step and aggravated an old knee injury, so given I need to shorten stroke length and intensity this week I have begun some strict UT2 erg training. Three workouts in I know this is a good rehab plan. UT2 for me is 123 to 142, so I am trying to keep HR around there for 30 minut...

Yes sorry I remembered wrong. Go to the workout detail screen on ergData where you see the raw score and weight adjusted. Select weight adjusted. Touch the displayed weight and you can edit it. It is documented here http://www.concept2.com/service/software/ergdata/how-to-use/viewing-weight-adjusted-...

Set your weight in kg on the edit profile page of the online logbook, it gets it from there.

Thanks for the definition Bob.

Thanks James. I am using the display from ErgData that says Drive Length and trying to keep it at 1M or higher. I am using the field that says Ave. Force for handle force. If Drive Length is not taking into account the slack,or more likely I missed it in my calculation, then there's my confusion. So...
