I thoroughly enjoyed swimming, riding, and running along. Enjoy your recovery. Stay healthy traveling home (consider masking with likely impaired immune system).

Been loving these daily camp updates! Question on scaling nutrition, how do you do that generally?

Start by reading the nutrition chapter. Then follow up into that article with any Qs.

Just to give a little context to how low 100 hr is what is your max hr?

Gordo Byrn's avatar

175 bpm (run) 166 bpm (bike) in the last 12 months. That run was a true max. Might be able to push a bit higher on the bike as I was at altitude.

This is my takeaway that an "easy" run is 70-75 beats below run max. Hitting that target is elite level because its likely only doable with 100s/1000s of sub lactate threshold 1 training. Challenge accepted!

70% of HRmax as a ceiling, and using run:walk is an effective way to play it.
