Maybe I should redo it. I did it for 30min after a 15min warm up. I did 30min because I’m new to this and maybe my meds are playing a role as well.

Jane,
Thanks! I start PT tomorrow so hopefully that does it! I’ve got Pete’s advice so I think I’ll be good in time…… at least I’m mostly able to keep up my cardio!

I’d agree with Jane as well!
Jane thanks for the reference to the fit series, sounds very good!

Once my back gets un&*&(^ then I plan on getting back into general strength for a few weeks then possibly hit ME.

I also know they don’t recommend ME until your within your 10% unless the event is close to when your doing it.

Following with interest bc this sounds right up my alley! And think I’ll put this on my bucket list!

I’m no expert, but you’re going to need a very good cardio Base and muscle endurance. I would think if you get the cardio Base and then so the ME workouts you’d be golden. But curious what the experts say.

i’m on meds for adhd and depression. have been for a long time. i just do my AeT as described and go by the numbers it gives me. seems to be working, although i did notice a big drop in pace but i believe that’s attributed to the drop in volume of work outs when i started working again and having several weeks of only getting 1 work out in due to being sick and a thrown out back where i could barley move…..

Lindsey,
thanks! that makes sense. by recovering i’m assuming your meaning you find it harder to do or having sore muscles or cramps or similar right? so am i safe to assume you can do zone 2 as long as you can recover completely before next work out?

i’m only able currently to get a guaranteed 3 days a week workout for around an hour each, i could go longer if i wake up earlier, but currently already wake up at 5am to get in a solid hour before getting kids ready and going to work myself. weekends are hit and miss depending on what’s going on in life…. so basically i can guarantee 3hrs a week maybe 4….. and even though i haven’t redone an AnT since last year my AeT is still way below my AnT from the last test. Basically my most recent Aet was 155, my last AnT was 186.

I’m thinking it’s my heart rate monitor, ive been sitting with it on and staying still and its been fluctuating 20bpm and I’m just sitting reading my phone.

juskojj on September 21, 2021 at 8:44 am · in reply to: Cardio Base Volume for the time constrained #57216

my main problem is i can only guarantee 3 days a week of consistent running, depending on how work is i could get in another 2 days of short 30min on the treadmill during lunch. weekends are highly dependent on life. so i don’t have a consistent weekly volume except knowing i can go for a guaranteed 50min or longer if i wake up earlier 3 days a week. so just looking at what i can do with out over training but it doesn’t sound like i can at low intensity.

Oh my left knee under knee cap, like patellar tendon is sore too
Guessing everything is involved.

I almost forgot, my left hip also clicks/pops, has for a long time.

So maybe its my left side?

Scott,
I really appreciate the feedback! That’s great to hear it’ll come back faster. Every morning run is fastest state, I litterally wake up and 10-15min later I’m out the door, I go to the bathroom, get dressed and I’m out.

I’ve got an exercise room at work that has a treadmill that I’ve been bad at hitting up during lunch because I’m always trying to get 45min or more in but I can easily squeeze in a 20-30min treadmill in and have time to shower and cool off before getting back to work.

By light, I’m guessing zone 1 primarily or zone 2 if I want since I never got with in my 10%. Either way I think I’ll drop down to zone 1 even though it feels like a snail paces, which I’m ok with!

i thought so…. like i said i felt it was more what you said about endurance and cardio base more than anything

thanks scott! then i’ll just keep chugging along and when i get more than an hour for a workout i’ll do an AeT test again and see where I’m not now. I’m hoping i’m above 160 but with work and diminishing training time I don’t think i am….

i should also mention around last october i think it was my wahoo went on the fritz and i got a gen 1 as a replacement until the gen 2 came back in stock. i was using the gen 1 until i got then gen 2 and have been using the gen 2 for awhile. it seems like it’s working correctly before i knew it had a problem because i could walk for awhile or speed up to a sprint and my heart rate never changed or if it did it would take a long time which clued me into something was wrong. it’s updating pretty regularly although i have notcied when i 1st put it on my heart rate will jump then drop, jump then drop and then settle out. i’m talking around a 10 bpm or more jump or drop….
i’ve been considering getting a polar or garmin chest strap instead of the wahoo with this recent weirdness i’m seeing unless it truly is me….

i think the concepts and basics are dead on. in general the book is pretty technical which can be hard to digest so if they were to revise it my only recommend from someone who is “lay” (ie dummy) person in athletics and human physiology would be to write it so a high schooler can read and understand it, basically tone down the technical, give a good 10,000ft overview of why the gap between AeT and AnT are so important with regards to endurance. after reading quite a few posts on the forum there are so many questions when it comes to the drift test, explain it better give alternatives to achieving results beyond TP. also explain that the more training and longer training the faster the results, as in a podcast was explained someone who is doing 20hrs a week is going to see results in 3-4 months vs someone who is doing 5hrs week could take 6+ months. i’d also probably add some more explanations and examples for training plans ect…

just my thoughts from someone coming from being completely out of shape and never done and structured training outside of high school sports.
