Griv

Doing some baseline testing as I start my rebuild now. 

The good news…my speed is still there. Im feeling orders of magnitude better than when I first became symptomatic.

The bad news…my endurance is dogshit.

Strange news…my heart rate has been remarkably low for the given efforts.

Screen shot is from a steady uphill running segment where I like to test VO2 max efforts. I had a personal best on it today, and the fastest time on Strava for that segment in over a decade (3rd best all time.) New goal it to set the KOM on this segment. Time to build the endurance now. 

📊 Just scored 7 points for fitness data on @griv! eees

Im a bit of a degen, but also a chad.
Base Maxi




Man, I really don’t know. Only accurate way to know is a lab test. Garmin watches do an estimate that are somewhat accurate, but I think it overestimates mine. 

This is what my garmin says

Tech exec, board member, and advisor to startups and investment groups.  
Builds things.

even if that are overestimated by just a little those are incredible scores!

trying to get mine up, but I find it a struggle to move the needle a lot

what’s your vo2 max now vs normal training?

Playing slots, gambling, betting on sports.

I know about the lab. I’ve run with a friend and we did runs similar to what you did today.

Thanks! So, this wasn’t a vo2 max PR. It was a PR time on a segment of road, with an effort that is in my vo2 max pace range. Make sense. True vo2 max needs to be tested in a lab.

Congrats on the pr VO2, I haven't heard anyone talking about VO2 max in a long time, lol.

I'm excited to follow your journey. Is there anything I or Griv community can do to support?

Man, I’m just going to be ramping up volume at about 10 hours/ per week over the next 2 weeks, then 14-16 hours after that. Different mix of all three sports, but in general, I’ll try to hit 40 miles running 100-120 miles of cycling and 10k meters of swimming per week. 

Diet: I’ve been intermittent fasting to not gain weight while I wasn’t training. Will probably stop that after 2 weeks as the caloric demand will be too high

what's your next 2 weeks of training look like, diet included?
