Happy Monday! Holy cow, what a beautiful weekend! Hopefully you were able to get out and enjoy it. We talked about breathing during the Zoom call, so I did a little video on it, that has a few exercises you can do to connect your breathing to movement. Give it a look and let us know what you think or any questions that come up. Learning to recognize your rhythm of breathing, as well as other subjective measures of effort will be incredibly beneficial in developing your aerobic capacity and becoming a more thoughtful athlete. While we use heart rate monitors as a reliable proxy for what is happening physiologically when you exercise, being able to also determine where you are relative to your Aerobic Threshold without always looking at your watch will help you regulate efforts on long outings, and better determine your restedness (or lack thereof) during workouts. Again - we need to apply stress in order to effect positive adaptations of fitness, but knowing how MUCH stress is always a moving target - “know thyself” applies best! How’re you doing with the workouts? Strength exercises? Don’t forget to post questions or thoughts on the Slack channel; there’s probably someone else experiencing the same thing! Have a great week!
