Having the multiple cups is great in the acuzone but being able to apply the achedaway by yourself on your back/ shoulder area is a real positive.

I've used this method for running and really love it. Before this, I could never remain consistent in my training for more than a few weeks. When I first decided to just try this method I was running around an 11 min pace per mile and after about 6 months I was already around an (8:30 - 9) min pace at the same low HR. I made consistency the challenge in my training, not speed (running 3x a week). This really helped me to not care how fast I was running as many many people ran past me in the park. I would really try to save my hardest efforts for race day and now run around a (1:30 half marathon), as a point of reference. I'm happy I learned about this, as It really changed my whole perspective on training.

The original formula for HR training is 220 - your age for max hr #, then working at a percentage of the working range of your hr, so if you're 30 years old your max hr would be 190, and if resting hr was 60 you'd have a working range of 130 BPM,.you then work at a percentage of that,.so 50% would be 60 + 65, so 125 BPM. MAF just works on 180 - your age as a max hr to work at and not go over, kinda zone 2 work really

Thanks for sharing your experiences with heart rate training. What does your training look like now? Yeah the 220-age is a common calculation for age predicted maximal heart rate. It holds relatively true for the general population but as soon as people start doing even small amounts of training the zones that are predicted using this value are way off, especially for older endurance athletes. You are better of doing a specific field test such as the functional threshold heart rate test or similar. The MAF calculation of 180-age give you your maximal aerobic function heart rate which is used for developing aerobic endurance not finding your age predicted maximal heart rate. All the best with your training.

@zdavzbr10 ай бұрын
So basically VO2 Max is the maximum power your body can produce, and anaerobic threshold is how close you can get to the VO2 Max without rapidly getting fatigued. You can't really increase your VO2 Max, but you can increase the anaerobic threshold through training. Using the car analogy: 3 cars: A, B and C VO2 Max: A and B have a max speed of 300Kmh C has a max speed of 280KMh Anaerobic threshold: A quickly overheats above 280KMh B quickly overheats above 250KMh C quickly overheats above 260KMh A will obviously outperform B, but C will too because even though B has a higher top speed, it starts to overheat sooner than C, which will outrun him in the long run. While you can't increase your cars max speed, you can increase the speed it can get to before starting to overheat. Is this right? Obviously the car analogy is not set in stone because you can just change the engine, but I think it helps to understand.

Not specifically about a 3 day a week programme but here is a video in which I talk about different training sessions. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eqd_x7N-pdG7cqQ.htmlsi=LGZEWG16C1eYznwG
@@MattyEPC thank you

Hi i am a swimming coach. If i send an athlete 200mX3 sets giving 125 fast and 125 slow. What is the benefit of that in the preparation period .
Thanks for your question. What is your rational behind using this session? The 1:1 ratio would lean towards a VO2max type training session depending on the intensity of the efforts. Have a look at the following video for more information around this. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eqd_x7N-pdG7cqQ.html&ab_channel=MattyGraham
So basically VO2 Max is the maximum power your body can produce, and anaerobic threshold is how close you can get to the VO2 Max without rapidly getting fatigued. You can't really increase your VO2 Max, but you can increase the anaerobic threshold through training. Using the car analogy: 3 cars: A, B and C VO2 Max: A and B have a max speed of 300Kmh C has a max speed of 280KMh Anaerobic threshold: A quickly overheats above 280KMh B quickly overheats above 250KMh C quickly overheats above 260KMh A will obviously outperform B, but C will too because even though B has a higher top speed, it starts to overheat sooner than C, which will outrun him in the long run. While you can't increase your cars max speed, you can increase the speed it can get to before starting to overheat. Is this right? Obviously the car analogy is not set in stone because you can just change the engine, but I think it helps to understand.
That's a great analogy. Thanks for sharing.
As I see this frame bag has two zippers and two compartments. How are these compartments divided? Is it possible to adjust divider between this two compartments or remove them?
Yes it has two compartments. I bigger longer one up top similar to a half frame bag and a smaller triangle one down the bottom, I use this one for tools and spare tubes etc. It is divided by a velcro divider than can be undone to create one big pocket.
How can you move it?
If you put some massage cream or oil on your ski the cupper slides around easily providing a great massage effect.
Thank you, was looking for this comment!
I am mid 50s and in the worst cardiovascular condituon of my life. My "intervals" will likely be jog 1 minute followed by walking 1 minute. Should I just do some steady-state traing initially to ease into it?
Yeah absolutely. Steady state training is a great place to start and will be enough load to increase your VO2max in itself. I cover this briefly in the following video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eqd_x7N-pdG7cqQ.html
@MattyEPC Thanks Matty!
@@TK-cl1jm No worries mate. All the best with your training. Remember that someone wise once said: Becoming is better than being. Enjoy the process and the progress.
Is Vo2max important for boxing?
Yes it is an important factor in boxing conditioning.
You are not elite if you are not doing some form of strength training in this day and age.
💯
improving general strength is a no Brainer.. end of discussion period.
Yeah I agree. It is funny how many people still question this.
Thank you Matty, truly. I have been searching the anaerobic training topic for a while and your presentation is clear, concise and to the point. Others were just describing anaerobic on and on and on and hardly touching the protocol.
I am glad it was helpful :)
perhaps a better analogy would be to have three burners under one pot, each burner having a different fuel
Love it. Thanks for sharing.
Does it feel good
Yeah if you like cupping it feels good :)
@@MattyEPC never tried it. Does ot help tight muscles?
Yeah it is really good for tight muscles.
I'm guessing these are runs and not sprints?
Yeah the length is a more a sustained effort rather than a sprint.
@@MattyEPC thanks Matty 😃. Just so it’s clear to me (I’m new to this, so forgive my question if it’s stupid ha) it’s a sustained effort at just above VO2 Max, repeated for multiple intervals, and each interval the Intensity must progressively increase to maintain your pace, and after enough intervals, you reach a point where you can’t maintain the pace and max out?
Is lactic threshold more important?
Both are important for endurance performance but a higher anaerobic threshold is a greater predictor of endurance performance than vo2max.
BMX racer here. I’m messing around w different sprockets and crank lengths. I’m in standard 44/16 w 175mm crank. Feels like I spin too much. I once used 46/16 but w 180mm. That worked fine in my novice class days but I felt like I needed more rpms when I raced tougher comp. My optimal zone must be somewhere between the two. Maybe 177 cranks w 45/16?
Interesting insights. Let me know how you get on with your testing.
VO2max not trainable?? It IS and it has a big effect. And what is "anaerobic threshold"? A very loose term. It is neither a marker between aerobic and anaerobic work, nor is it a threshold. I'm surprised.
Thanks for watching. Yeah, over the years it has become evident that I did not do a great job of explaining this aspect overly well. My comment was around VO2max not being as trainable compared to anaerobic threshold or VT2 which is. In relation to the concept of anaerobic threshold, lactate threshold, VT2, On set of blood lactate accumulation or what ever other name that is used to describe this intensity, yeah it is a contentious subject as you have pointed out and is worth a couple of videos just on this subject.
This is useful only if you know the effort that will bring you to your LT I guess that you are always guessing pace od your lactate treshold training because you are constantly improving your treshold if that makes any sense 😁
Yes, getting your training zones dialed in should be the first thing you do when looking to improve your training. This could be heart rate, power, RPE or pace depending on your sport and monitoring methods.
