What is a cooldown drop?

[legalmoose]

The difference between where my heart rate was when I stopped running and where it was 10 minutes later. In this case it dropped by that many beats per minute (the AHR and MHR are Average and Max Heart Rate - I wear a heart rate monitor).

Don't you think you ought to give him a chance to catch up? :)

Re: no clue here

[legalmoose]

S'okay, I can out-bike him at the moment. ;-)

heeheehee :)

I meant that I didn't understand all his terms. He's got all these neat gadgets for his running. I didn't mean to sound like a *total* smart ass ;-)

Yeah, I understand :) I, however, *did* want to be a total smartass...:p

I'll take the blame for encouraging him to buy all the gadgets.

The irony is I burned out badly a couple years ago, and now when I go to the gym, or go run, I just go by feeling...go out and do what I feel like.

that's pretty much my style, though when I'm adding something new I am careful to start slowly and record my progress ... I'm also absent-minded enough that I need to bring a little gym-diary with me to Gold's so I remember how much weight I did last time at each station

They don't let you keep workout sheets there on file? That's what I do at the DOJ gym - we all have "workout" folders in a little filing cabinet out on the floor.

they do, but I've had this workout diary since I restarted going to the gym in 1997
