further adventures of the albino rhino...

today, hill repeats. I only did 3 (4:00, 3:45, 3:35 w/ about 3/4 mile run there and back. Nice short workout. I was a little tired from yesterday, and sunday, and saturday, and friday... but tommorrow is seriously easy, then the 1000m repeats. For anyone out there monitoring life in the nerdery, heartrate (calculated from 10 second count, I left the strap at home) was 156, 162, 168. I should go to the trouble to figure out what 10 second counts, 6 second counts etc. 'really' mean using the monitor... 2 minutes recovery between each one (there is a nice short steep trail connecting this long winding hill), usually down around 100 then... Like 60 now... I should have done 4, but i was tired.

The common thread among ALL good ultimate players is that when they first learned to play, they were totally content w/ a limited role, often defense and goal scoring, because winning is no vice.
In contrast BAD ultimate players are fixated on learning, and teaching, this phony, let everyone touch it, get a hack, etc.

discuss.

No Alex, this is not an attempt to call you a co-ed player.

Heart rate monitors are for wimps. As long as you are consistent and not passing out, keep going.

heart rate monitors for intervals are for wimps. i just wanted to know what it 'felt' like. go by time, mmhh i agree padewan...

but heart rate monitors are good for telling runners to go EASIER. Most people do their long runs too hard, so they feel good, but you cheat the training effect...

although there is this very popular interval training that's being done by really high calibre xc skiers, that's a series of progressively shorter intervals, w/ more repeats. So the intensity of the runs increases. I'm not a sport phys guy, but i'm a 'student of the game'...

I think honestly most ultimate players could benefit by more base training... they certainly get the increased vo2max that comes from intervals, but not the effect from the higher volume lower intensity... longevity in the sport? winter program of weights and fairly easy cardio, segue into long intervals and weights, finish w/ sprints and plyos as you move to fall?

final heart rate note... once you learn what it 'feels' like, you really don't need it for a given sport, at a given intensity, for a given duration...

Do you ever have to slow down b/c heart rate gets too high? I have never trained with one, just always made fun of those who did. But I do think it makes sense esp. if you have a workout plan, unlike me where I do not decide what I will do until 5 minutes into the workout.

Agreed, lungs then legs, that is how I see it. Although most ultimate do not like the phrase "35 miles a week", especially in Feb./Mar.

it's mainly for the long stuff that i try to run slow. or when i bike (which was, prior to theft, the best way for me to do easy slow workouts). For the intervals, going by time seems to work. If I can knock down my time by a small amount with each interval, and finish the workout, i'm probably doing it right...

i nordic ski in winter; february running? i would have a hard time doing miles even if i wanted to...
