Before 2019 i was doing this occasionally, issue is damn hot.
40 storeys.

Anyway i think i have heard them before on several occasions.

Maybe next time should go say HI and see what's my timing.
Last year before AHM i did try 2X at my place, but only confined to zone 2 coz not pro in this, scared injured.

You can run up swissotel .. 73 floors. Sure good workout., or spice it up with a weighted vest or backpack

i have question abt HR.
i am 43 n been running everyday for 5-6years.
first 2years 5-10km
3years til now 7-16km

slow daily runs abt 6.30pace my hr is abt 128 zone 2
if i push myself until wanna puke go til 5.30pace
my hr is only abt 138-144 at zone 2-3, sometimes will go z4.

am i doin something wrong here? isit hr supposed to be higher the better?

thanks for reading

If at 144 is like catching your breath or puking then very likely your Lactate Threshold HR is around there or slightly lower. Your current HR zoning is probably based on max hr that's why you thought you are at zone 3, but in reality your are in the high zone 4 and may crossed over to zone 5 if you had done your HR zoning based on Lactate Threshold HR.

To improve your lactate threshold HR, you might need to add in at least one interval training a week, or two a week if you are focusing just to improve threshold hr. Apart from that your easy run at zone 2 still need to maintain.

To answer your question, for HR zoning, for max hr, for threshold HR, the higher the better. Max hr can't be trained, but threshold hr can be trained until 90% of max HR.
But HR vs Pace, the lower the HR is better.

Do socks matter?

How does branded running socks compare against generic running socks?

Socks very personal. Me being heavy sweater favour thinner socks.

Jab then no sexercise for 2 weeks

This morning RHR slightly elevated. HRV extremely elevated. Last night ran 9.7km easy pace with HR in normal range vs pace. Don't know what to make out of it for this morning RHR and HRV.

More than double the normal range. Effect from Novavax? No palpitation if base on RHR.

I too ran after covid vaccine but must be very careful just in case. Don't push too hard

My block is 50 sty / 156m already, just open the door and do 2 rounds. Take the lift down, treat it as a mini interval.

Actually i have never thought of wearing gloves and use the arms upper body, like what that auntie in the vid was doing, can even train some upper body muscles this way.

Only issue is that it's a bloody warm activity.

I had been climbing floors since covid too.

Its really a great lower body workout. Best is to go up and down so that can activate the different muscle groups.

Floors climbing is not so tiring if you avoid running up. Its really siong to run up.

Also its important to maintain a good posture climbing up.

The auntie is grabbing the sides and you can see the posture is not so good. May twist the knees or ankles.

After covid jab, better keep the training load low.

That will be 21.1K X 2

You have garmin 965. Try the Garmin Coach plan for 21km. Use the Jeff Galloway as the coach. He is the guy who came up with the Run walk run for beginners.

 

[raylong]

That will be 21.1K X 2

30km will be enough. The rest of the 12km find a strategy to complete on race day

No need to hurry for FM this year. However can test water to see if every month can increase 2.2 km first:
July - 23.2km
Aug - 25.4km
Sept - 27.6km
Oct - 29.8km
Nov - 32km
Complete 32km in 5 hrs 12 mins assuming target pace 9:45/km
The rest of 10km will complete in 2hrs 18mins minus 3 toilet break of 2 mins each = 2 hrs 12mins
The remaining 10k pace will be 13:12/km
Total: 7hrs 30mins

Maybe she is strong in many various areas through years of training, if she is "stiff" enough actually more difficult to get injured.
