Important note, I do not need to run ‘fast’ to stay in the desired HR zone.
This used to really fuck with my head because I’d think that running slow was a waste of time, however my HIC work disproves this.
Honestly I could run like this all day, for sure. Starting to enjoy rubbing, and I always get a little joy from being on the treadmill before people and staying on long after they are done haha
Which zone is this? I feel like I’m dying and my HR Zone is 2 or 3 when I look at my stats.
I just checked my HR for the end of my lifting where I did the 55 Rep Barbell Complex. I checked my HR for six seconds and counted 17 beats. That’s 170bpm. My watch showed that I was in the 120s and my max HR for the workout was in the 150s…
Whenever my heart rate gets high my Fitbit can’t deal with it, especially on interval sort of sessions. I have a chest heart rate monitor too and it’s much better.

Was a wild ride.
I definitely felt the upgraded engine working today. I blew threw the initial conditioning and it didn’t tax my main work at all.
I’m keen to see where my maxes are after 12 weeks of operator, pressing/cleaning/squatting 3x per week.
I’ve been extremely impressed with TB and its effects on my conditioning, and now I understand it’s principles I can apply them to other programs
For example, 4 Horsemen = 4x strength sessions and each session has a short HIC component.
I will try to add an additional endurance long slow run on Saturday but keep Wednesday as a rest day
I don’t imagine my HIC work will suffer greatly due to all the giant sets etc, but I’ll even consider alternating Saturdays between E and HIC work
