I particularly like your point of picking an event. I have a couple of events I do every year and they’re good measures of how my training is gone through the year. It wouldn’t hurt me to expand my “event coverage”. If you have some suggestions for events, I’d love to hear them, and I suspect I’m not alone.
Marshall, Thanks. I will start posting some events. I truly believe that having something to train for is invaluable. I am going to talk about this next week, but I have set an arbitrary 20-mile 25 Lb. challenge for early November, and the training plan I discuss will be to prepare for that.
Every one of your challenges made me nervous. Love it.
I often use breathing or ability to talk examples to help people maintain a desired rate of perceived exertion. “You can talk but would rather not” is so good for that effective zone 2/3 work rather than able to talk normally vs something vague like ability to say a sentence before refocusing.
Absolutely. I think RPE based on the ability to: Give a monologue, Carry on a two-way conversation, Talk, but rather not, and reply with one-word gasps, is a standard everyone can understand. It is going to be a great year!
