VINNIE’S WEEK

  • Just came back from a week of crewing in the desert
  • Vinnie records at least 4 shows a week — that’s quite a lot!
  • Over 450 or some odd episodes up

WHAT IS ZONE 2… REALLY?

  • There are 5 zones, although most people only need to think of zones 1-4
  • Everyone has an anaerobic threshold
    • Zone 5: where your body goes when lactic acid production > lactic acid clearing
      • This is for intense athletes
  • Zone 1: basically walking, maybe a fast walk
  • Zone 2: When you’re breathing hard, but can still have a conversation
  • You can get a test in a lab to tell you what your threshold for zone 2 is
  • Poor man’s way:take 180, subtract by age, add a few points if you are very active and anywhere in there you are hitting zone 2 (heart rate)
    • Slow up a bit if you are in zone 3, because then you are burning more glycogen than fat
  • If you are looking to PR a marathon, look into some zone 3 and 4
  • Best way to stay in shape AND burn fat!
  • Little sprint spurts (only if you have a good base) are fine
  • Do this for minimum of 8 wks (Vinnie recommends 12 wks)
