Thanks for the recommendation. I decided to go with the BOX.

Scott – If you’re ever in the market for a new one, I was able to find them in a range of colors combined with black. Most companies seem to carry just black, camo, or brown/gray.

I definitely recognize the value of warm-ups for injury prevention and maximizing effectiveness. It’s nice to hear there are options. Thanks!

Thanks Scott and Scott.

You confirmed what I was starting to suspect about wrist-based HR monitors.

I noticed the decoupling at around 2:15 mark. The top was noticeably steeper and deeper snow, so we dropped our pace to keep breathing in check.

I reread the articles on Breathe Intensity Monitoring and have a follow-up question given your comments that ventilation can change with fat adaptation and fatigue: Assuming I had good data from a chest strap, should I assume breathing or heart rate is the better marker AeT that I should be using for my uphill zone 1 hikes?

Thanks,
Jim

Thanks Scott. This is really helpful. One follow-up question: How long can I stay in maintenance mode before needing to start a new plan?

Unrelated website question: I’m having trouble figuring out how to add a picture to my profile. Can you let me know where I do that?

Thanks,
Jim
