@Aqua-Letifer nice stats!!! Does your dad still run 10 miles everyday? FWIW I’ve also shifted to a jog pace.

And no, unfortunately he can't. He's had a series of surgeries on his neck. But he still does 3 at the gym and still refs soccer games down in FL.

My bike. I have a second set of wheels with gravel tires.
It's not easy to find decent road bikes for kids. This is what I came up with.
Son #2s bike. Bought it used for little money. 26 inch wheels. Ultegra 3x9 groupset.
Daughter with her bike on a trip we made today. 24 inch wheels. 1x9 Microshift groupset.
It looks tiny but today her max speed was over 50 km/h.

@Klaus Very cool! What's hanging from your daughter's shoe?
Proof that modern shoe fasteners are not always superior to the old-fashioned shoelace tie.

Hey George, that looks like a very decent walk you do every day! Nice! What do you use for the stats?

I try to do it thrice weekly. Jon does more walks, but not as far, I think.

What activity was that, Aqua?
What’s your max heart rate?
I made a 60km road bike trip in excellent weather today.

Envious!
Just skippin' rope. My max (according to my FitBit, anyway) is 165. Usually by the end of each set I'm at 160+.

165?
Wouldn’t that be extraordinary low for your age? I thought it’s usually around 220-age.

Assume Aqua is 35. That would mean a heart rate of 185.
That's fast, really really fast.

I'm 45 and I hit 175 on a regular basis.

wrote on 11 Apr 2020, 23:18 last edited by@Klaus Well, FitBits might not be the most accurate. I have a pulse oximeter, so I'll double check next workout.
And, up to a month ago, I was the most sedentary I had ever been in my life. FitBit tells me my heart health is back up to "average to good," but I'm nowhere near as in shape as I've been before. So I dunno what it's supposed to be, I just go out five days a week and do my best.

The purple line is where I started at a month ago. This is FitBit's "cardio fitness score," not heart rate.

Hey, you learn something every day - I never knew that was available on the Fitbit.
Even better, it says mine is Excellent, which considering the winter I've had, is a tad optimistic, I think
