I read somewhere that at 50% of your Max HR you can hold a conversation,

at 75% it starts to become slurred, is this right, because at 75% I can
hold
a good conversation, with just a little fast breathing.
On the question of breathing, when your fanging it at 40k's an hour +,
what
breathing method do you use ?

I cant remember reading anything detailed on breathing teqnique other than
make sure you are relaxed and take breathing as it comes naturally.. there
was something the other day I read about ensuring your 'out' breath was full
as your body takes care of the 'in' itself.. either way.. I find using a
HRM, knowing my limits, 'listening' to my body (sounds teh ghey but I'm sure
you'll know what I mean), and rhythm rhythm rhythm works for me...

cheers,

:not that there is anything wrong with that:

How did you find your max HR? Actual max HR test or using the "standard
population" age minus 20/25 calc?

As for the % above, I haven't heard them before. I think 75% is only about
65% EFFORT and should be conversational pace.

I would have said around 85% but it would be a very inaccurate measure of intensity so I wouldn't use it as a guide. For example some girls can talk even at 200% effort level and 20% lung capacity hey Tamyka 🙂

I've just about perfected the "in and out" method. Give it a try! 🙂

You're a [censored], just like Lotte 😉 Wait a sec, you remembered what I
said. That's not very masculine of you. 😄

Did you also remember Lotte and I deciding to become man-hating
lesbians? (This shouldn't affect hippy, who is OS, or Paulie, who is
more of a boy anyway.)
