Needing to burn some calories today after overeating yesterday. I waited til the hottest part of the day and did the Roark's cove climb. It was 95º at my house with a heat index of about 100º, but was a few degrees cooler on the shady north side of the mountain. Training in the heat is great as long as there is shade.
Roark's Cove bike climb
Total time - 23:41

Max HR - 182
HR over 170 - 11:13
HR over 180 - 2:00
HR over 156 - 19:08
Avg HR - 163
Happy with the time considering conditions. Stayed seated the whole time. HR over 170 for 11:13 but it was probably over 167 for several minutes more.
My Hume pod says I'm at 12.0% body fat, which is inaccurate because I know I've been leaner and lighter than I am now and it said higher. I have been able to slightly increase muscle mass with a very small about of work, less than 5 min a day, but every day. Just one set of 21-23 pullups, and 30-35 pushups, (and ab wheel or hanging abs sometimes, dumbells sometimes).
Nice. I’ve enjoyed following this guy on YouTube (Dan Barracuda) Here is his breakdown of Led Zeppelin’s No Quarter https://youtu.be/NZuA6saFUzk?is=vQFd-QIqnTVNRwZ9
ReplyDeletePretty cool. He keeps talking about a b5 chord, which really is an augmented chord, (or a #4 major chord) - giving that lydian sound. Love it.
DeleteYeah I have no idea about chords but it is cool for me to see someone actually explain it, even though I have no background in it. I really like his breakdowns of Pink Floyd solo’s, again not being able to truly judge musicians I always thought Pink Floyd’s guitarist was underrated..almost encourages me to try to learn an instrument. I’d be preferential towards drums but they are loud and take up a lot of space.
DeleteBill, just beautiful playing....
