This has literally become the best fitness podcast in my opinion because of the broad aspects of fitness that is always discussed. It has helped me grow so much.
I like how zone 2 is considered this hot topic thing that people buy heart monitors for. I’ve been in the Army 18 years and if you want to do zone 2 cardio on the cheep just learn to some songs and run in military cadence. That’s all zone 2 cardio, you’re welcome.
In terms of Hyrox running at a loss: A recent post noted that both Wodapalooza and Hyrox have received upwards of $600k from the city of Miami to put on events there. I'm not sure that's the norm but definitely helps offset the venue cost in that situation. Miami Hyrox was ~8,500 participants. ~$150 per entry would be ~$1.2M. Then spectator tickets are like $10-20. Not sure if there are stats on that. Then they use a large portion of volunteers from what I've seen. There some exhibitors, sponsors and partners. I don't think any of these events want to put out their whole budget but it'd be interesting to see where they are in terms of profit across their events.
Mark you are an inspiration buddy! I'm 47 and wanting to try new things. I just ran my first 10k in December and finished way better than I even expected. I love this episode, keep it up.
In terms if the watch vs HRM. 100% the HRM is more accurate, probably more precise, etc... But a lot of ppl that i coach and talk to that note this dont seem to have any idea what the increased accuracy/precision is goong to do for them vs a watch. Like what are YOU doing in training and analysis of your training where a ±5 bpm variance is going to totally disrupt your training progress The best answer ive gotten is zone 2 and knowing that your in your target zone. Fir my if i only have my watch, i know it has that variance then I try to make sure im more in the middle of that zone than towars the edges. Most ppl ive talked to just not ehat their Avg and max HR were. Now if theyre are actually running into the limits of the watch doing training as described by Chris then yeah absolutely wearable probably isnt going to cut it. But idk a buch of ppl I know that use an HRM dont do anything with the data from it.
The once a week I go when it's not snow-covered on this mountain, I wake up, have a salted glass of water, sometimes a 2nd glass, no salt, and a spoonful of honey to prevent coughing in the dryer air, and only run as far as my nasal breathing allows

The open mindness is key.

Excellent information!! I’ve been looking for something in this topic! I appreciate what y’all do and who you bring on!

So is that 6:50 per mile at zone 2 but his zone 2 is 109bpm?
I finally started getting the running in. My torn, right sciatic nerve should be completely healed before summer at this rate.
He's very right about timing your rest. Just as someone who does bodybuilding recreationally, timing my rest intervals has given me noticeable gains
Asking again, where did Mark get his bottle? If I don’t get an answer I’ll resort to eating my shorts. I’m on my last pair.
