Nice kicks, Len

[tragabigzanda]

Go barefoot, you weakling

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Are you running 20 minute 5k's now, Asher?

[tragabigzanda]

I’m old and fragile

[The Argonaut]

Are you running 20 minute 5k's now, Asher?

I stopped running. The last time I did anything was a single ten minute mile on September 15, and before that was a 33 minute 5k on August 20. I am the weakling

I understand. You still biking or are you now fully bound to academic pursuits?

[tragabigzanda]

Hit 190 bpm today, for about two full seconds Seriously though, it’s a new record for me, and I got there much easier than I was hitting 180 a month ago

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Wait why are you trying to increase it

[tragabigzanda]

Peter Attia says that one of the best things you can do for your longevity is regularly perform a four-minute pace at your highest possible sustained heart rate. So in hitting 190bpm, I’m simultaneously aiming for a point where I can maintain four minutes around 170bpm (currently around 155).

[Bammer]

Ugh of course trag is a Peter Attia disciple

[tragabigzanda]

Definitely not a disciple. He has some interesting insights. Generally I’m exercising for longevity and to ward off dementia, so on that particular front I like where his heads at

[Bammer]

Lol as if I know who that is
