Thank you
I write something like this for Thanksgiving every year but I feel like I owe you all a thanks more this year than ever.
…Running and your health – again
I’ve reported in the past about studies suggesting running is good for your health and more is better. It’s not a certain thing, there is some evidence that it might not be, but what I’ve seen so far suggests that the data showing more is better or at the very least more isn’t worse is more reliable and convincing.
Maybe that’s hopeful thinking. If so, feel free to regard this as cherry picking. Two more studies suggesting that, at the very least, greater levels of exercise do not cause you health problems.
…Don’t get caught by cardiac drift
Have you ever paid close attention to your heart rate on a run? Especially if it was on a long run or race, you probably noticed that your heart rate gradually increased even if you were maintaining pace.
Why is this and what should we do about it?
…Low carb? Think again
When on vacation, keep the plan loose
I recently went on a family vacation, our first big vacation in 3 years. It was an outstanding trip and running during the vacation absolutely enhanced the experience.
For some of us, though, running won’t enhance the experience. Whether because running is something different for us or because the vacation is just something that would make running difficult, it might even be detrimental to the vacation experience.
