Running uphill 179bpm for the world-class rock climber (pretty fit) vs 125bpm for Kristian, plus great efficiency.
Lactate @ 14 liao (super high), and Kristian was just warming up at barely crossing into zone 2.

One of the products of 96ml/kg/min. But actually he is off-season when tested in July, so a bit bui, technically he should be over 100 (they est to be 103). He can pedal out a lot of watts too on the bike.

See which team signs him on, as he crosses over from doing Tri to pro cycling.

This world-class rock climber is already pretty fit. I suspect even fitter than me, based on the treadmill run with 6% incline and full pack on. (cardio)

What the fish is runfluencers man.....they really anyhow coin stuff.

Actually i dont have strava, instagram, Facebook (never had that even), tiktok, douyin and all those stuff.
I think also got other things like snapchat etc.

I only HWZer.

i dont even have paynow. Sort of.
Though i can receive funds via Paynow (my mobile no.), but i can never send funds.

I installed that NETS Flashpay thingy coz of the vouchers when it started, then uninstalled it, coz it clogged up my transaction history in my internet banking, rendering it unusable.


I have Paywave tho (VISA). (y)

Well on my way to be a friggin BOOMER and soon CPF. :s12:

Wait, not sure i understand this.......so some pple go PAY others to go workout for them, then upload is it?
ie pay someone to go wear their smartwatch, then later sync to mobile, then upload izzit?

They do this kum lan? Dont uuderstand at all. It's not as if it's a marathon or 10k race or what (ie the usual cheating stories), and could actually get "official" recognition.

If true, really too much money dont know where to spend.......some folks.

It's not the destination, but the whole journey. And that includes the mindset.

Coz once you get that PB of your goal, then you stop.....that's it. End liao. Then what? That should not be the focus. And that also spells disaster in terms of consistency.

I mean if the sport is potentially toxic (eg bodybuilding vid above) then yeah.....maybe need to stop at some point, but for many others that shd not be the way.

Actually faking workouts is pretty common in the youtube channel for gym. Many are using fake weights. Even Athlean X was caught doing that.
