  • The Garmin Ant+ HRM doesn't work underwater either.
  • My bad. Mifflin-St. Jeor uses the same definition though.
  • The Harris-Benedict equation which MFP uses for it's calculations defines sedentary as "bedrest."
  • And just to be clear, I understand what's what. I DON'T log every time I dip my bread in oil, because I don't log my 10 minute walks or the multiple times I go up and down four flights of stairs daily at work. But I also don't complain or "vent" when other people do it, first because I don't really think its my biz, but…
  • Sorry bstamps, but that's where you are wrong. Sedentary means you don't do anything. As in, you sit in a chair all day and then go to bed. Period point blank. So if you want to be accurate, you log those 10 minute walks.
  • Um, would you like to vent at all the people who log two teaspoons of olive oil in their food diaries? Because that's the same amount of calories as walking for 10 minutes, but on the other side of the axis. Do you see my point here?
  • You're a competitive cyclist? Now I KNOW you were just having a bad day. You know that 99% of endurance athletes need to refuel mid-race to prevent glycogen debt. Don't tell me you don't need gels or energy drink on a double century. :flowerforyou:
  • Be fine, as in, not be in a hypoglycemic state, or a state where you are forcing your body to rapidly deal with excess amounts of blood plasma glucose. Ok, I see. I've actually dabbled with this a little in my training, though as you stated, it's grueling and not at all fun. I don't know that you can factor this in to an…
  • I can go 90 minutes without nutrition easily. It's not fun, but I've done it. But seeing as the world record in the marathon is a little over 2 hours depending on who you ask, and for most people 3, 4, or 5 hours...
  • No worries. I interpret this- "Glycogen storage capacity in man is approximately 15 g/kg body weight and can accommodate a gain of approximately 500 g before net lipid synthesis contributes to increasing body fat mass. When the glycogen stores are saturated, massive intakes of carbohydrate are disposed of by high…
  • I'm not sure if you're just feeling argumentative (I would say yes based on your statement that only "untrained" runners need to refuel mid-marathon) but I was actually agreeing with you if you go back through the thread. The part that I said I did not get, which I was backing up with my own experience and made rather…
  • Oh, that's just priceless. Deena Kastor eats gels. Dathan Ritzenheim eats gels. Every elite endurance athelete drinks carb drink. Lance Armstrong ate twelve of them on his first marathon and he still bonked.
  • Is that relevant to the discussion of me not hitting the wall? Glycogen debt in endurance athletes occurs when both liver and muscle glycogen is all used up.
  • I think so... Liver glycogen is used for keeping you alive and is available to the whole body, while muscle glycogen is used locally by only that specific muscle, like for running.
  • Again, please enlighten me on my strong misunderstanding. When I've bonked, my understanding is that my muscles have run out of glycogen and my body can't keep up the gluconeogenesis process as fast as I'm consuming. So why would it be untoward of me to think that if, like you said, I could store 500 extra grams worth of…
  • LOL, look up what "empirical" means. I already told you that in my marathon training, my observations over several years and talking to many other marathon runners is that carb loading does nothing. If what you said was true then anybody who ate a pasta dinner the night before the race would never hit the wall.
  • I don't know, they poop it out? All I know is what I know. I don't really feel like arguing a point that I'm not an expert on. Like I said though, I've got plenty of empirical evidence to back up my statement.
  • Ah, ok, good to know, see I didn't know that some pools are metric. :O

  • Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for the link!
    in Swimming?!? Comment by ilsie99 June 2011
  • Well that (and your "supercompensation" statement of an additional 500g of carbs storage) I don't buy. That's from my own experience as a marathon runner. Carb loading does very little to nothing, even when you start weeks early (I have done lots of experiments to myself on this, mostly it just makes me gain weight during…
  • Oh, basically you're saying that as long as you dont overeat it doesnt matter whether you eat carbs or no carbs, and that the movie doesn't ever make that distinction. Geez, you could have just said that in the first place. :laugh:
  • Ok, he explains how insulin works in a healthy individual, what its purpose is, and how cells start to become insulin resistant when you eat too much of the wrong food. What am I missing here?
  • Why? Not being snarky, I really want to know what was wrong with his explanation.
  • Aboslutely. Garmin uses GPS triangulation for determining elevation, and then corrects afterwards based on your location and what it thinks the elevation should be. This has proven to be much more inaccurate than barometric elevation readings. Think of it this way- if you are running on a road next to the edge of a cliff,…
  • Wait.. Let me get this straight.. Three euros for a shopping cart full of food?!??!? That is... Legendary!
  • Dude. Please. Enough.
  • I feel like maybe OP has some self esteem issues if Internet strangers posting exercises on a website upset him.
  • Coconut oil will kill candida, but leave all those nice probiotic bacteria in your guts intact. I have incorporated a lot of coconut oil into my diet, but I dont know if I'd be able to handle a C.O. cleanse. Maybe you should start out small? Most doctors/nutritionists recommend 1 tbsp a day for a week, increasing by 1 tbsp…
  • High quality whey protein powders such as Jay Robb and Biochem do not contain casein.
  • Hehe, it's frustrating in this day and age that you need 3 devices to do one job.
