I’m betting on “E” because Idaho.
In terms of attention, I just don’t know that it will bring anything truly revolutionary or “Rokslide targeted” to the market. Don’t see it as a 77gr TMK, Rokstock, or RS1.2 type of product. And it’s only barely been mentioned.
Looking forward to more...
So trying to analyze a couple attempts at a heart rate drive test to confirm my zone 2 threshold.
First Attempt: Stair climber at speed 6. After 5 minute "warm up", average HR was 127 for the first 20 minutes then 135 for the second 20 minutes. About a 6.3% drift.
Second Attempt: Stair...
In short: Scott Johnston on the Exo podcast, ongoing research on zone 2 training, realization of how little aerobic training I’ve ever done in my life and my experiences in the mountains.
95% of my training in life has likely been anaerobic in nature. Which might explain why I’ve seen limited...
How many hours are you getting on on your aerobic conditioning days?
My target is going to be 6-8 hours per week, so I need more sessions to achieve that which leaves less time for strength.
What’s a good way to determine your zone 2 heart rate threshold excluding the formula or heart rate monitor’s determination?
I’m not sure I completely understand the heart rate drift test. The actual workout yes, but analyzing the data not so much.
Spent 11 hours this morning, threw everything I had at them with only a couple takedowns and nothing stuck. Had to try the evening bite to get something on the catch card today. Worth it.
4 1/2 hours to sleep and we’ll do it again! Afternoon hammock naps are a life saver.
Tried to do a light jog today after fishing all morning. Went as slow as possible, downhill to start. Immediately in zone 3. Guess I have a long ways to go.
How do you balance Zone 2 training with strength training?
I’ve been going down the rabbit hole on podcasts but the hunting focused ones didn’t really detail a training plan (probably because they want you to pay for that) and the other general fitness ones detail plans that are more focused...
For anyone with a Polar or other heart rate monitor, it has a “fitness test” mode where you lie down for 5 minutes and breathe normally. It then establishes your VO2 max and zones. Is that pretty accurate?
I’m still planning on doing a (second) heart rate drift test to confirm my zone 2...
Does long term, consistent zone 2 training also raise your zone 2 upper limit in terms of heart rate? Or rather, your heart rate at higher levels of effort falls into zone 2? If that makes sense.
I'm a little late to the Zone 2 training idea but have been trying to implement it this year. After listening to this Exo podcast, I realized I've definitely been more in Zone 3 and not spending enough hours on it.
