nice data & discussion!

Definitely can see HR's being up near that high (160+ for sure) during a competitive game (while you're in it).

From my experience in basketball, I was much less aerobically developed than I was lactic threshold developed. I mean I could go hard in bursts for from a few seconds to say 60s, over and over, but I can't imagine I would have been good at running a solid pace for a decent amount of time. I was adapted to start-stop-repeat. Working on their aerobic base might help get the HR's down a bit & make them more efficient, but it comes at the cost of skill work etc. Could help to build it up more in the off season. In-season it would be hard to maintain, for sure. If I go a week without long run work, my HR starts going back up, which is probably good tbh - having it "chronically" low can bring its' own problems.

The key to this kind of data to me points to the lack of sustained aerobic long running. Add to that the idea that it's a contact sport with more adrenaline surges, HR is going to be high. If you're not highly aerobically trained, HR has to be high in order to pump all of that blood around, just don't have the efficiency of doing so at lower HR's like a highly aerobically trained athlete is.

Also, when I was intense basketball dribbling a month ago or so, my HR was very low. I had to work incredibly hard to get it into the 130's. It was mostly 10X-12X. I'd love to know how that would differ (if at all) to when I was actually basketball trained, ie if it is considerably lower now due to how i've been training.

Oh also #2: jumping gets your HR way up, very fast. So going up for rebounds, layups, shots etc, really causes the HR to shoot up very quick based on what i've seen from my own HR data when I was jumping with my HRM.

my quick 2cents.

peace!

TOR turnover fest is surprising. sloppiest turnovers ive seen in a while.

JR Smith ballin. Nasty crossover + step back fade away J @ ~2 min.

Love how they are D'n up Lebron (full court etc). Doesn't seem to be phasing him much so far, but he's definitely working to get free etc. Could catch up with him later.

Lebron is carrying the team again though.

After all that, i'm on the fence whether or not I want to see him beat Toronto.. I def wanted Indiana to beat the Cavs, but not so sure about Toronto.. Lebron is such a monster. I think maybe i'll be rooting for him still, but i'll be rooting for TOR to take the series. Just not sure how Lebron can carry CLE for another 7 games like that.

15 year old crushes CoC #3, wants to crush CoC #4.. incredible.

Found a 2017 article on the Duval Street Mile FB page, love this race!!

2017:

^^ nice!! I think it's a solid format. It's our own hacky version of Athlinks.. lmao. It's fun being able to look in one spot for all of the race results/efforts, and quickly journey back into the journal.

also it's cool to just keep bumping it occasionally with new races etc, see it grow haha.

parkruns are cool but i'm sure you'll find a few others that will be worth doing.

good stuff!
