It's not sexy 💋 There's no stats to flex 💪 But keep stacking some low effort aerobic miles.

💥 Blast from the past! Just having a game of Lemmings played in the browser via one of those online DOS emulators.

Even if you've only got an entry level Garmin watch like mine - Forerunner55, you can still create a workout on the Garmin App and Bluetooth it to your watch which I thought was cool and didn't know you could do.

Created a strides workout and tried it today, loads better than looking at the watch or manually pressing lap. Set it for 20 second strides with 2 minutes recoveries x5, the watch beeps 3 times and then vibrates to start/stop the intervals while also collecting and separating the data, still managed to mess the data up though on the last recovery by manually stopping the session instead of letting it finish on its own.

Easy aerobic 6 miles, pace increased to 10:57 min/mile but maintained the 136bpm lower aerobic HR, 171spm avg. So the zone 2 stuff must be paying off.

Then some strides, 20 seconds, 2 min recovery x5.

The Epstein class... Bombs Nordstream and releases half a million tonnes of methane, bombs Iran's oil & gas infrastructure just as they did during the Gulf War, US military emits more greenhouse gases than most countries a year, the elites all own gas guzzling mega yachts, private jets and fly everywhere.

Anyone got hyper-reactive vagal reflexes? If you do I know the feeling well and it's pretty intense.

Had it a few times in the past from breaking fingers, severing tendons in my hand and also from standing up quickly and running upstairs with alcohol in my system 🥴🫀

Onlookers would think "Look at that wimp" but the effects of plummeted blood pressure, overwhelming sickness and dizziness emanating from the gut area is x10 worse than the injury pain and you can't just suck it up mentally or use willpower, it's intense for about 10 minutes until everything stabilises.

Maybe once you're aware of what it's all about you'll be less susceptible or at least try to counter it before it kicks in by laying down and elevating your legs etc, Wim Hof claims you can control your vagus nerve and autonomic nervous system with breathing, cold exposure and the mind.

It's like your body is a Windows OS and the screen just went blue.

Maybe people would think this was shuffling or glorified walking but it was about keeping the HR low, getting some miles in and staying low aerobic, 134bpm avg over 17 miles seemed like an achievement for me and the max during the run was 145bpm on inclines or darting across the road when there's a gap in the traffic and I needed to cross.

Average cadence was 167spm but it began to feel a bit forced trying to keep it over 165 at a slower pace and started to feel it a bit in the achilles, soleus and plantar structures, maybe during longer easy runs I should probably let my spm settle more 160-165spm especially later on rather than forcing it higher just to appease the watch. My cadence scales ok when I go faster.
