Very good!Doing well. I don't have the magnitude of effect to really put much more mass on. Dialed back the cals a little and recomp'd at about 197, holding steady, pretty jacked for an old guy.
Will try to push back up to 200 but it might be out of reach for what I'm doing without it being mostly fat...
"54 young" is a bit of an oxymoron. Wasn't easy to accept, but I'm owning it I'll let Dillon Thomas speak for me from here out...For an old guy….
Idk who Dillon Thomas is, but my thought is you’re pretty buff for any age. Definitely not that you’re young…"54 young" is a bit of an oxymoron. Wasn't easy to accept, but I'm owning it I'll let Dillon Thomas speak for me from here out...
I think it's a pulsing effect after HR climbs skyward and is constantly playing catch up?HR max and average still slowly trending down, smaller variance between rest and work - I find that to be very strange...
I think a big part of it is related to reducing rest periods. There used to be a defined work:rest peak:valley that shrunk when the rest periods decreased by 5 seconds.I think it's a pulsing effect after HR climbs skyward and is constantly playing catch up?
Yes, reminds me of VWC but in a smaller time dose.. which is better IMHO, VWC really stresses CNS if you do it too often. The dose you're using looks just about right to me, everyone can benefit from some of that type work I believe.Initially the average went up, but mostly because the working HR increased. Now that is trending down but rest period HR is staying about the same, the two are getting closer, which I believe to be something you want to see with this- the HR elevated per a max effort (90% max) but sustained over a longer period than would normally be possible due to the use of intervals.
I'm almost ready to drop down to a 1:1, 20 seconds each but drop to 12 intervals from current 15.Yes, reminds me of VWC but in a smaller time dose.. which is better IMHO, VWC really stresses CNS if you do it too often.

I'm interested in the carryover aspect too, jumping rope is jumps, running is jumps.. should be something good coming from it. Running slow is key I think, faster invites more problems and isn't as good for recovery in my experience.I'm almost ready to drop down to a 1:1, 20 seconds each but drop to 12 intervals from current 15.
Right now everything is clicking without feeling forced or accumulated fatigue. I need to get out and do some LISS jogging to see what the carryover from hiit is doing.

Yes, it took me a looong time to settle into running where I could go for an hour straight, my calfs rebelled fiercely. It's been around 3 1/2 years and I'm just starting to enjoy a method that really clicks with me. I'm leaning more toward the 'pose' method and landing center foot, a few months ago the pup and I worked up to 150 miles and I was feeling it in heels a bit. Now that I've changed my running style it seems to have settled down and we can go 130 mi a month without issue.I can jump rope quick, doesn't feel good for me to run hardly at all except on grass, at ANY speed. Kids are starting up track and field next week, maybe they let me tag along a few times while they get back into it.
