It seems to be a theme of some coaching companies to promote one method of understanding effort over another. (Talking heart rate and RPE)

As Individuals we want to try and use both to really understand how hard or easy we are working.

RPE (rate of perceived exertion) is amazing, but only if you can accurately gauge your effort. I have taken many athletes into labs and had them realise what they thought was an effort level was in fact 10-15 beats below what was happening with their heart rate (not too mention their lactate levels)

Our mind can convince us we are working harder than we really are and so we train in the wrong zone.

So use a heart rate monitor learn and cross check effort levels to gain a proper understanding of what your body is doing. Then if you like ditch the monitor, but do occasionally double check you have it right still.

It’s sometimes cool for companies to shout about one method over another, it makes them sound and look like they know something special. They don’t.

Blog live on @e3coach website - link in Bio.

A little insight into ski touring on the cheaper side in Northern Iceland, no glamorous chalets, no hot spas just good old fashion winter camping and some great ski days and some not so great.

Hope it may inspire a few others to head out and play in this beautiful environment that can be achieved on a smaller budget.

Iceland has beautiful touring and Icelandic people are so friendly and welcoming.

Not sure what to make of yesterday’s loop, to put it simply probably should have avoided it instead of doing it.

Everything great, until 30m from exit of gully right calf muscle popped, been having a few issues but thought was sorted (no issues on Tuesdays Gully)

Pain ramped up pretty quick, so kicking in crampons and holding weight on my calf was draining, moving forward to the gully exit, snow is pretty much giving up. Feet started to slip as snow was crap, axes not doing much better.

A moment of ok down climb, calf will love that ?! A quick assessment and the snow close to the right rock wall looked a little better and I could also get some purchase on the rock if needs be.

The snow turned out good enough to top out. Then had a slow hobble back to the van.

The race is only ever really against yourself-

Being out on my own , pushing myself for me, for pure enjoyment, the only pressure is that of my environment and what my mind decides.

I have did my time racing others and competing against others, some 12 years ago that stopped, I was done, it didn’t hold the joy any more.

Nothing compares to those solo moments just soaking in where you are and what you’re doing.

Hey don’t get me wrong, nothing wrong with racing etc just not how I’m wired anymore 😃

What do you think? You solo or group person? Racing others or just yourself?
