    Return of the a Achilles tendinitis

    Bingo, love this, I’d forgotten about the difference between insertional and “tendon belly” pain. (Each year I tend to have a few flareups, but I consult my sister, who’s a PT, and she almost always helps.) this year, I’ve been trying jump rope along with my other strengthening to see if I can...

    Return of the a Achilles tendinitis

    I second the PT recommendation - they are used to getting people back to performing well; docs just get people to functional. I’ve read that there’s a line of thinking that tendon repair occurs best under load. So some prescribe heavy lifting rather than rest or stretching. Definitely look to a...

    Where to start - Offseason Workouts

    I appreciate this, and it mirrors my general thinking on the matter. I do need to start working with a doctor in case issues arise in the future - I haven't seen a GP in...gosh, almost 15 years. At 40 now, I should revisit that and start building a relationship. For the record, I haven't...

    How to end NR Wyoming wilderness ban?

    Conceptually, if an organization spends money to increase game numbers/increase hunting opportunity on behalf of a nationwide membership, in (or affecting) WY wilderness areas, yet a portion of the organization's membership is prevented by law from enjoying those opportunities, that organization...

    Where to start - Offseason Workouts

    I'm dont want to become king of blowing up threads, but I'm a curious guy and like to learn more. Is "t" one of these (super-rare) things where more is always better? Is it commonly or reliably used as an indicator of overall health? Hermann Pontzer posits that wacked-out hormone production...

    How to end NR Wyoming wilderness ban?

    If anyone is truly serious on this, PM me. There's a route to challenge this that doesn't involve getting a ticket, and (I think, at least, but would have to really run it down) a good argument to be made that it's unconstitutional. It would take some money, but perhaps not as much as one might...

    Things you have noticed in the gym

    We used to have a judge like that. In the shower and locker room he’ll come up and talk to all the attorneys in the buff. On the street, stare straight ahead. Major power play I guess? 🤣😂🤣

    Primaloft Evolve

    It's pretty form fitting. For me, it's definitely a midlayer. It's great with a baselayer, but I wouldn't want to do 2 baselayers or a midlayer under it. It's great to layer over. I have the sitka kelvin active -- the sleeveless jacket - and the Rab piece fits and feels almost exactly like...

    Agree. I got one, it's really nice. If they had it in a green or light gray, it'd be a perfect nearly-half-price Ambient replacement. Maybe next year.

    Folding vs. Regular Trekking Poles?

    I have a set of folding poles and a set of telescoping poles. The folding poles are best for running/hiking. They are very stowable; much more "solid" in use (no rattles, less flex, less reverberation); quicker to deploy (no need to adjust length every time you pull them out); and much...

    This - must be the best survival story ever told. (Antarctic, but same idea.) Also in the genre of survival tales: miracle in the Andes by Mandi parrado Alone on the Ice by David Roberts. Madhouse at the end of the earth by Julian sancton undaunted courage by Stephen Ambrose (probably not...

    I rest the first two, and awaiting the third, which I think comes out in July. I catch endless crap from my wife/kids for reading a thousand pages on Stalin. They are interesting though.

    In the heart of the sea, the sinking of the whale ship Essex, by Nathaniel Philbrick. This is a good one that combines a slice of American history I hadn’t learned about (the Quaker whalers of Nantucket) with a heck of a survival tale. Really well done.

    Our respective experiences are adequately set forth in the thread. I think OP has what he needs to evaluate whether doing *fasted* aerobic work, rather than just aerobic work — whether fueled or fasted — is the best approach for him.

    Insulin is the hormone that transfers glucose from the blood to the cells. Glucogen (I think, may be wrong on the name) is the hormone that releases glucose from the liver to the blood, including during exercise. But there are different hormones that have different impacts; the point is that...

    As blood glucose drops, your liver receives a hormone signal and releases glucose to maintain blood glucose levels. That happens when you exercise, even at aerobic levels. Adrenaline can also trigger blood glucose increases. So I agree that you can have a nightmare and, as a result, see a...

    Again, the factual assertion is not correct. Your body releases glucose into your bloodstream from the liver when exercising, including exercising below your aerobic threshold. Fat that is used for fuel during aerobic exercise is intramuscular triglycerides, not subcutaneous/visceral fat. If...
