AMD announced their RDNA 4 GPU's last week, the RX 9070 & RX 9070 XT, which includes our first look at FSR 4 and the machine learning capabilities that comes with RDNA 4. We know AMD's Z2 APU lineup is an incremental upgrade over the Z1 chips, going from RDNA 3 to RDNA 3.5 but the true generational leap will be AMD's Z3 chips that will feature the newly announced RDNA 4.So, what does AMD's 9070 XT mean for the ASUS ROG ALLY 2?!

Last week we had Erin Carson of ECFIT Performance Strength talk with us about strength training programs for endurance athletes seeking to perform at their very best in triathlons, marathons, and cycling events. This week we are steering the conversation to bike strength and mobility programming. If you think we have the magic bullet for developing strength and power on the bike, think again. It takes work, from lots of angles and there is not a straight line to success, ever. How do strength programs, workouts, fueling, physical therapy, bike fit, components, riding apps, threshold assessments and so on factor into your power to weight ratio? Here to help us unpack developing cycling strength and improving power on the bike is an athlete who I believe embodies “grit2greatness” and is an example of the resilience and tenacity it takes to achieve a goal. Yes we all have goals that we are working toward and the journey toward that goal seems long and winding. Part of the reason we close each episode with the call to “enjoy the endurance journey” is because the journey, not necessarily the finish line, is where we realize the most growth. Introduce Laura Hammdorff: Laura Hammdorff is a competitive triathlete with an NCAA swimming and cross fit background. When we started working together last year we discussed her triathlon background and goals. Because we are focusing on developing bike power this week, this will be our theme to tell her story. Without giving too much away, it's my hope that by listening to Laura's journey you will find examples of how her grit and tenacity can give you a template for your journey Discussion Questions to Laura (Rich and April take turns asking questions): Icebreaker - Two Truths and a Lie How would you describe your background in cycling compared to swimming, running and strength training? What was the steepest learning curve with cycling early on? What role did the Triple Bypass play in your development of power and resilience on the bike? How has working with a PT contributed to your development? How have injuries created challenges in your training and racing? Not just overuse, but also previous injuries and limitations? How has bike fit played a role in your performance? How has fueling played a role? How has thinking about the nuances of executing a workout (eg build into power, backloading stress, etc) played into your development? How's your relationship with the FTP? What have you learned about software platforms and their ability to engage and support doing the right training right? . Ask A Coach: What muscle groups to develop for the bike? Setup (Rich): Here are the different phases of a bike pedal stroke and the muscles used during each phase: Downstroke (1 to 5 o'clock): This phase involves the quadriceps and the gluteus maximus. The primary action is knee extension and hip extension. Pullback (5 to 7 o'clock): The hamstrings and the gluteus maximus are engaged. This phase involves knee flexion and hip extension. Upstroke (7 to 11 o'clock): The hip flexors and the anterior tibialis are primarily used. The action here is hip flexion and knee flexion. Over-the-top (11 to 1 o'clock): The quadriceps and the anterior tibialis help to lift the pedal. This phase involves knee extension and hip flexion. Get Gritty Tip: Stop Sleepwalking Through Life Do you ever feel like you're just going through the motions, like life is passing you by in a blur of routine and mental chatter? You're not alone. Scientists in the UK discovered that our brains have a kind of "autopilot" mode—a trance-like state where we zone out, consumed by trivial thoughts. It's like we're sleepwalking through life, and the result? Days, weeks, even years that feel hollow and forgettable. Why does this happen? As we age, we fall into patterns. Experiences that once thrilled us now become automatic routines. Think about it: When was the last time you truly experienced something *new*? Remember how slowly time seemed to move as a kid? That wasn't just your imagination. Back then, everything was fresh. Every hour was an adventure, and your brain had to focus on learning, adapting, and figuring out how to respond. Psychologist William James explained this beautifully in *The Principles of Psychology* over a century ago. He wrote about how, in youth, life feels vivid and stretched out, like an intricate journey. But as adults, our lives tend to shrink into the predictable. Here's the good news: you *can* break out of this autopilot mode. The key? Newness. Novel experiences force us into the present moment. They snap us out of our mental trance because we can't predict what's coming next or how to respond. And you don't need to meditate on a mountaintop to find this mindfulness. Learning something new—a skill, a hobby, even a sport—engages both your mind and body, pulling you fully into the moment. The journey toward mastery isn't just about achievement. It's about the fulfillment that comes from being completely engaged in the *process.* Think of your life as a scrapbook. When you look back on it, what will you see? Is it full of rich, meaningful experiences that make time slow down? Or is it a blur of sameness? If the latter, it's time to wake up. Start saying yes to novelty. Break free from your routine. Add new skills, adventures, and memories to your life's scrapbook. Because when you take inventory on your life, you'll want to see a collection of stories that prove you *lived.* TriDot Workouts of the Week: Here are 3 incredibly powerful workouts for building bike power: Power Intervals, Big Gear Work and 30-30s Power Intervals Warmup 10 min @ Z2 with 2 x 30 sec (30 sec) Spinups and 3 x 1 min (1 min) @ Z4 Main Set 2 x 7 min @ Z4 ~70 rpm (3 min) 1 x 3 min @ Z2 1 x 10 min @ Z4 > 90 rpm Balance of time @ Z2 Big Gear Work Warmup 10 min @ Z2 with 2 x 30 sec (30 sec) Spinups and 3 x 1 min (1 min) @ Z4 Main Set Dismount 30 sec Squats (shoot for 1/second) 30 sec Isometric squat Mount quickly w/o recovery 1 x 3 min @ Z5 in biggest gearing at 55-65 cadence 1 min @ Z2 before dismount Dismount 45 sec Squats (shoot for 1/second) 60 sec Isometric squat Mount quickly w/o recovery 2 x 1 min @ Z5 (60 sec) in biggest gearing at 55-65 cadence 1 min @ Z2 before dismount Dismount 60 sec Squats 30 sec Isometric squat Mount 5 min @ Z2 Balance of time @ Z2 30-30s Warmup 10 min @ Z2 with 2 x 30 sec (30 sec) Spinups and 3 x 1 min (1 min) @ Z4 Main Set 4 sets of 4 x 30 sec @ Z5+ (30 sec @ Z3) with 2 min @ Z2 rest between sets Balance of time @ Z2 That's this week's TriDot workout of the week! Give it a go and tell us about your experience! Today's Fun Segment: Transition Troubles (Winter Triathlete Edition) Concept: Players navigate a series of humorous and absurd challenges they might encounter during a triathlon transition. You describe a scenario, and they have to choose how they'd handle it. The Shoe Switcheroo: You reach T2 and realize your running shoes are missing, but there's a pair of Yeti slippers sitting in your spot. Do you: a) Wear the slippers and hope for the best. b) Run in your bike shoes. c) “Borrow” a random pair of shoes from someone else's transition area. The Snack Attack: Your nutrition bag was replaced with a box of donuts. Do you: a) Eat the donuts and enjoy the sugar rush. b) Offer them to other athletes as a goodwill gesture / barter. c) Ignore the donuts and power through without your planned nutrition. Helmet Havoc: You find your helmet filled with shaving cream. Do you: a) Scoop it out with your hand and put it on anyway. b) Run back to the start to see if someone will lend you a helmet. c) Smear the shaving cream on your face like war paint and declare yourself ready for victory! Ski Struggles: You're ready to start the ski leg, but you see that someone has put peanut butter on the underside of your skis. Do you: a) Attempt to ski anyway and hope the pb melts off. b) Lick the peanut off (protein boost, right?) c) Use it as ski wax, and convince others that it's a secret performance hack.

What's the matter with kids today? Jewish youth is either the most connected or disconnected demographic of the Jewish population. If you're ages 18 - 35, you're a part of an inconsistent international community that can't decide on a lot of things. Most of all, you may be confused about your past and how relevant your upbringings are to today. David Hazony and Alissa Bernstein are from Z3, a zionist thinktank rethinking the future of the American-Israeli relationship. Bernstein and Hazony work together to engage with Jewish youth across America. They help Chaz Volk, host of Bad Jew, understand the young Jewish professional landscape along with the implications and impacts of the recent US election.

Welcome to episode 2 of our special series of conversations between Z3 founder and podcast host Rabbi Amitai Fraiman and Palestinian writer and peace activist, Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib. In this episode, Ahmed reflects on his recent trip to Washington, DC, where he met with hostage families and U.S. officials and he shares the impact of those interactions on his vision for peace. He and Amitai discuss the internal politics of Gaza as Ahmed questions misleading polling data that suggests widespread support for Hamas in Gaza and highlights the cognitive dissonance caused by years of isolation and propaganda. Despite the violence, Ahmed emphasizes moments of humanity and kindness he has witnessed between Palestinians and Israelis, even in Gaza, which give him hope for the future. He shares his mission to be a unique bridge builder between the pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian communities, moderating difficult but valuable dialogues online. The episode also touches on the broader geopolitical implications of the conflict, particularly the role of Iran and regional power struggles, highlighting the importance of resolving the conflict for lasting peace in the Middle East.

Olá, hoje é 18 de junho de 2024, meu nome é Marco Antonio Vieira, sou Assessor de Agronegócios em Toledo/PR e vamos falar sobre o impacto das chuvas no Rio Grande do Sul sobre a aquicultura e pesca. O Rio Grande do Sul ocupa a 12ª posição no ranking nacional de peixes de cultivo, conforme dados da Associação Brasileira da Piscicultura (PeixeBR). Em 2023, foram produzidas 26.800 toneladas de peixes no Estado, sendo 17.000 toneladas de “outras espécies”, como carpas, trutas e panga - o que rendeu ao Estado a liderança na categoria. No entanto, as chuvas intensas que atingiram o Rio Grande do Sul impactaram fortemente a atividade, devido às inundações que promoveram estragos nos tanques de produção de peixes, além de afetarem a qualidade da água, fator essencial para manter boa saúde e produtividades elevadas de peixes, principalmente, produzidos em cativeiro. Ao redor de Erechim e Porto Alegre, há relatos de transbordamento e rompimento de açudes, o que cessa a produção destes viveiros, necessitando de investimentos por parte dos piscicultores locais. Já, em Ijuí e Santo Cristo, as inundações dificultaram o manejo diário com a alimentação dos peixes, além dos viveiros transbordarem e estes escaparem para outros cursos d'água. Muitos açudes transbordaram, mas as perdas não puderam ser quantificadas. Em Porto Alegre, de acordo com a Emater local, a pesca artesanal também foi muito afetada, em especial os pescados de água salgada, como a pesca do camarão. Na Lagoa dos Patos, nota-se pouca quantidade de camarões, inviabilizando as expectativas de comercialização esperadas. Contudo, peixes de água doce também foram afetados pelas inundações, impactando na despesca, como é o caso da região dos rios Jaguarão e da Lagoa Mirim, que tiveram os níveis bastante elevados pelas chuvas. Na região de Pelotas, os pescadores estão capturando apenas tainha; o camarão permanece sem captura. Em várias comunidades pesqueiras, como Colônia Z3, Pontal da Barra e outras, as famílias precisaram deixar suas residências devido às inundações. Em Santa Rosa, as atividades, tanto de despesca quanto de pesca artesanal, foram suspensas por conta das chuvas excessivas. Muitos tiveram que retirar seus equipamentos do leito do rio, enquanto outros optaram por pescar em áreas alagadas, mas com chances reduzidas de captura. Esses eventos climáticos adversos ressaltam a importância de estratégias de mitigação e adaptação para a piscicultura no Estado. Investimentos em tecnologias mais resistentes às intempéries e em sistemas de monitoramento ambiental podem ajudar a minimizar os danos causados pelas chuvas. Além disso, políticas públicas de apoio aos piscicultores em momentos de crise climática são essenciais para garantir a sustentabilidade do setor. O Banco do Brasil conta com linhas de financiamento para investir em cultivo de peixes. Procure o seu gerente de relacionamento para maiores informações. Conte sempre com a assessoria especializada em agronegócios e com toda a equipe do Banco do Brasil. Fica a dica de crédito consciente e sustentável. Até a próxima.

For episode 16, we posted up at Fortitude Gym in east Gainesville. We had the opportunity to sit with two sharp young brothers and discuss the Bike Life. If you live in Gainesville, FL you have probably witnessed Z3 riding around town doing some of the most amazing tricks on his bike. So I reached out to him to hear his story. I must say, this was personally one of my favorite interviews. I love to see young men doing something positive, and he's all about "put the gun down and pick up a bike". I love the message. And the fact that he is taking other young brothers like KShorty under his wing is admirable✊
Me confieso un fan de la saga de Bond, James Bond. Entre otras cosas por el protagonismo que suelen tener los coches en estas películas. Y es que el creador del personaje, Ian Fleming, era un fanático del automóvil. Vamos a repasar todos los coches que ha conducido nuestro agente secreto favorito… te vas a sorprender: Ha conducido desde un Citroën 2CV… hasta medio R11. Y algunos, completamente olvidados… Ya explicaremos lo del “medio”… Por lo general se asume que James Bond, muy “brittish” él, lleva un Aston Martin y generalmente un DB5. Este es un error común, pues evidentemente no es el único coche de James Bond, ni siquiera se ha usado en la mayoría de las 25 películas producidas hasta la fecha ni, desde luego, ha sido el primero. Ese honor, el de ser el primero, le corresponde al Blower Bentley 4.5 litros de 1930. Y muchos diréis que no habéis visto ese coche en ninguna películas… así es. Pero es el coche que usa James Bond en su primera novela, Casino Royale, aparecida en 1953. Y para el que piense que el DB5 es el primer coche usado por James Bond en una película… ¡Pues también se equivoca! Ese honor le corresponde a otro coche muy británico, pese a que su nombre suene francés, el Sumbeam Alpine de 1962. Vamos a repasar todos o casi todos los coches que condujo James Bond, ya sea porque era su coche, porque era el coche de su “empresa”, el MI16 o porque los alquilaba cuando llegaba a alguno de los escenarios idílicos propios de la serie. Citaremos la película en la que aparece, con el título usado en España, un año de referencia, a veces del coche a veces del estreno de la película. 1. Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible (1957). Aparece en la primera película de la saga “Agente 007 contra el Dr. No” 2. Sunbeam Alpine (1962). En esa misma película el coche que “chupa” más pantalla es alquilado y es el citado Sunbeam Alpine de 1952, un deportivo relativamente modesto de 1,6 litros y 80 CV. 3. Bentley 3 ½ Litre (1935). Llegamos a la segunda película de la saga “Desde Rusia con amor” en la que el MI16 cede al agente 007 un coche con estilo y clase, pero algo “entrado en años”. 4. Aston Martin DB5 (1963). Y, ¡Por fin! en la tercera película de la saga, “James Bond contra Goldfinger” aparece el DB5. Este coche repite en varias películas, en ocasiones “compartiendo cartel” con modelos más modernos: Es el caso, entre otras, de “Operación Trueno”, “Goldeneye”, “El mañana nunca muere”, “Casino Royal” y otras. 5. Aston Martin DBS (1969). Un gran olvidado y un coche para mi precioso. Aparece en el film “El servicio secreto de su majestad”. 6. “Moon Buggy” (1971). Es que James Bond llegó hasta la luna en “Diamantes para la eternidad” película en la que Sean Connery huye de los malos a los mandos de este buggy lunar. 7. AMC Hornet (1971). En “El hombre de la pistola de oro” suben al Roger Moore en nada menos que en AMC Hornet… 8. AMC Matador Coupé “volador” (1974). Porque en 1974, en la misma película crearon un AMC “volador” que volaba de verdad… solo a baja altura. Un peligro. 9. Lotus Esprit (1977). Bond le es infiel a Aston Martin y utiliza un coche muy británico, diseñado por Giugiaro y muy especial: El Lotus Esprit. Primero en “La espía que me amo” y luego en versión Turbo en “Solo para tus ojos”. Es muy famosa la versión “submarina” de la primera película… apodada “Wet Nelie”. 10. Citroën 2 CV (1981). Para mí una de las mejores persecuciones del cine y de la saga 007 la puedes ver en “Solo para tus ojos”. 11. Bajaj RE (1983). He incluido este triciclo como una “Licencia periodística” pues no es en esencia un coche… pero ¡que espectáculo” Esta persecución de la película “Octopussy” por el mercado indio de Udaipur os aseguro que vale la pena… y como siempre, Roger Moore ni se despeina… 12. Renault 11 (1985). Aparece en la película “Panorama para matar”. Otra persecución espectacular, sobre todo cuando el coche se parte por la mitad y mi James Bond favorito, Roger Moore, sigue con medio R11 como si tal cosa. 12+1. Aston Martin V8 Vantage (1977). Timothy Dalton se estrena en “007 Alta tensión” de 1987… para mi es probablemente el peor, o el menos bueno, James Bond de todos. No así su coche, un espectacular V8 Vantage. 14. BMW Z3 (1995). En 1995 y con Pierce Brosnan el MI16 “se echa al monte” y deja de utilizar coches británicos para pasarse a BMW. Para mí un Z3, con todos mis respetos, no le pega nada a James Bond. 15. BMW 750i (1997). Aunque menos le pega el Serie 7 E38 de “El mañana nunca muere”. Brosnan no tuvo buena suerte con sus coches… como veremos… 16. BMW Z8 (2000). En la penúltima película de Brosnan, por fin, le dan un coche “decente” … aunque no sea inglés: Nos referimos al BMW Z8, rabiosa novedad en ese momento. Potente, precioso pero que no nos hacía olvidar a los Aston Martin. 17. Aston Martin Vanquish (2001). En “Muere otro día” vuelta, con acierto, a Aston Martin. 18. Aston Martin DB9 (2004). En el film “Spectre” aparece uno de mis coches favoritos. 19. Aston Martin DB10 (2014). Como este DB10 un coche creado por y para la película “Spectre” y en cuyo diseño participó el propio director de la película, Sam Mendes. 20. Aston Martin Valhalla (2019). Este modelo, presentado como prototipo en 2019, fue el protagonista junto con Craig de la película “Sin tiempo para morir” de 2021, de momento la última de la saga… Me he divertido con este guion… creo que Rodrigo no tanto buscando imágenes de estos 20 coches.

In that discussion I used the example of training in your threshold training intensity zone. If you want to increase your threshold power you need to train at that Z4 Threshold zone to train your body to process muscle lactate efficiently. The more time you spend in that zone, the more adaptation you get. Without the FTP number or accurate substitute, you may be training in the wrong zone (eg Z3 or Z5), neither of which create the same adaptation of teaching your body to improve lactate processing and increasing your capacity to do work. I also mentioned that training regularly and progressively overloading the correct training zones over the course of 3 weeks will set you up on the 4th week for your retest. If things are working, the next FTP test is at a higher average power than the one 4 weeks earlier. You then adjust the training zones. In this case increasing the power ranges for each zone. Another 3 weeks of training at the new (accurate) zones causes another adaptation, another test, another increase, another adjustment to training zones, etc. This week I'd like to build on that concept and talk about the importance of consistency in training and how inconsistency can sabotage the process and will likely result in no improvement in the month over month testing. Lets first discuss the concept of progressive overload and we'll use a simple example. Last week we used training at threshold as the example, but I want to be clear that the concept of progressive overload to achieve adaptation is not limited to the threshold training zone. If we break it down to a fundamental level, there are just a few adaptations that we are trying to affect in our training. We want to adapt our body to have greater endurance (go longer) and we want adapt our speed (go faster). The faster we go for longer, the better our race performances will be. To improve our endurance, we want to be more efficient at an aerobic intensity. To improve our speed, we want to have a higher anaerobic capacity. Besides doing "field testing" like the Swim CSS, Bike FTP and Run TT, one scientific way to test is how well the body processes muscle lactate. If you've ever done a Lactate Threshold Test (LTT), here's how the test administrator interprets the lactate measurement to determine your training zones. The LTT is performed by starting the athlete a warmup at a very easy intensity. We'll use the run discipline for this example. The athlete will walk on a treadmill for 10 minutes before starting the test and once the test starts, the intensity is increased every 2 minutes. At the beginning of the 10 minutes, the test administrator takes 4 metrics - pace, rate of perceived exertion (RPE), heart rate (HR) and lactate millimoles per liter of blood with a blood sample and lab kit. The lactate compared to the pace is the primary metric and the HR and RPE are secondary but useful to confirm and interpret the data. The administrator takes those same 4 metrics at the end of the 10 minutes and every 2 minutes there after. Every 2 minutes the treadmill pace is increased by 30 seconds of pace (11:00, 10:30, 10:00, 9:30 and so on). There are two key inflection points the test administrator is looking for. When the intensity is increased and the lactate level remains the same as the previous level means that the subject athlete is predominantly aerobic (zones 1-2). When the lactate level increases and levels out after each increase the athlete is in between aerobic and anaerobic (zone 3). When the lactate level continues to rise without an increase to intensity, the athlete is above lactate threshold (zone 4-5). Let's set aside other adaptations like muscle and tendon strength and flexibility as well as other adaptations to prevent injury. To achieve greater aerobic efficiency and aerobic capacity requires consistent and progressive overload dosing of aerobic and anaerobic training. Think of dosing as the number of minutes in each zone that we are trying to affect. The following example is conceptual, but can be extrapolated to fit a training plan for different distance events or performance goals. Assume that your baseline of training is 200 minutes in aerobic training the week before your last threshold test. To progressive overload dosing, you would increase the load of training over the next 3 weeks as 210, 220 and 230 minutes. It's the same with anaerobic adaptions. Assume you had 20 minutes of anaerobic training in the week before your last test. To progressively overload the dosing of anaerobic training, you may increase that as 43, 46 and 49 over then next three weeks. A well designed training plan will have this progressive overload concept built into the cumulative training for each week over the course of the weeks between tests. Each training session will have a goal number of minutes for specific training zones which collectively make up the dosing for the week. Using the previous example of threshold dosing, let's assume there were two run training sessions in week 1 that cumulatively added up to 23 minutes of threshold dosing and you nailed the total of 43 minutes. In week 2 your goal was to achieve 46 minutes and assume there were again 2 sessions that totaled 46 minutes of threshold. The first session prescribed 20 minutes, which you nailed. Lets assume you cut the second session and instead of 23 minutes of threshold you only get in 10 minutes, resulting in 30 total minutes for the 2nd week. Even if you nail the 3rd week of 49 minutes, you have interrupted the progressive overload process. Just looking at the run threshold stress load for each week, the minutes of threshold dosing in minutes would be 43 for week 1, 30 for week 2, and 49 for week 3; 43, 20 and 49. The training stress is inconsistent and the body's reaction to the stress will likely stagnate resulting in plateauing performance. Cutting workouts short or missing the altogether across a single or all disciplines can sabotage your adaptations, training progress and race performance. There is another problem as well. When you miss or cut training stress short, your body is less prepared for subsequent training. When you try to do that next harder week of training, you can potentially present more stress than the body is prepared for, which can lead to risk of injury. Athletes will try to make up for missed workouts by adding the missed training. Using the previous example, imagine if you tried to add the missed 16 minutes to the 3rd week and did 46, 20 and 65 (49+16), the risk of injury becomes even greater. Training software helps athletes by converting training dosing into training stress scores across each discipline to help you track your progress and consistency. Some even weight higher intensities with a higher stress coefficient. This will give you visibility to the inconsistency but its after the fact. One of the things I like about TriDot is that it makes the goal dosing in minutes for each training zone visible before the workout. Most workouts will have a warmup, main set and cooldown, each with goal minutes by zone. The workouts can be pushed to your Garmin or other device and alert you if you are out of the prescribed intensity zone, helping you achieve the goal training stress. TriDot gives the athlete a training execution score called TrainX. If the athlete follows the prescribed training and consistently get high TrainX scores, they get faster results with fewer injuries.

Endurance News: New Garmin Varia RCT715 tail light has a camera to record your crashes The Varia's high-definition camera will record everything behind you and its radar will alert you to approaching vehicles. Garmin has released the Varia RCT715, a new version of its tail light that features a high-definition camera to record any incidents out on the road. The Varia RCT715 features the same radar technology as its predecessors. When paired with a Garmin bike computer or smartwatch, the Varia will alert users to vehicles approaching from behind up to 140m away. Garmin says the device can be paired with selected cycling apps such as Ride with GPS. This will enable users to overlay maps with the radar notifications. Garmin claims the Varia RCT715's tail light can be seen up to one mile away in daylight. The camera records continuously and will save footage if an incident is detected. Garmin says the Varia's camera will “capture sharp, clear footage” at up 1080 pixels and 30 frames per second. The camera will record constantly when the Varia is in use. If an incident is detected, via Garmin's Incident Detection feature, the camera will automatically save footage from before, during and after the event. According to Dan Bartel, Garmin's vice president of global consumer sales, this is to provide users with evidence of an incident “should they ever need it”. However, the camera also provides more recreational functions, in line with how you might use a GoPro. Via the Garmin Varia app, users can access the video footage, transfer files and customise the camera's settings, to do things such as overlay data, including speed and location. Garmin says the use of the camera will be prohibited or regulated in some jurisdictions, adding that it is the responsibility of the user to know and comply with applicable laws and rights to privacy. While Garmin has added a camera to the Varia, it has retained the radar and tail light functionality of the device. Like the previous Garmin Varia RTL515, the radar on the new version will still detect and alert users to vehicles approaching from behind to the same distance of 140m. Similarly, the tail light on the new version is said to be visible up to one mile away in daylight, which is the same as the Varia RTL515. But while the RTL515 has a claimed battery life of up to 16 hours, the RCT715 has a shorter claimed battery life. The Varia RCT715's battery life is said to be up to four hours with radar and the tail light on ‘solid high' or ‘night flash', and up to six hours with the light flashing. The reduction in battery life is presumably because the camera is recording continuously. Why Running at Night Feels Harder An interesting new study by researchers at Sweden's KTH Royal Institute of Technology, working with the Swedish military and colleagues in Slovenia. They'd noticed that soldiers on night marches seemed to burn more energy than would be expected from the physical demands of the mission, especially when wearing night-vision goggles that restrict peripheral vision. They wondered whether not being able to see forced the soldiers to alter their strides, sacrificing efficiency for stability, so they decided to test this theory. The new study, published in the European Journal of Applied Physiology, had 15 volunteers do a series of ten-minute treadmill walks in four conditions: with and without a 56-pound pack, and with and without a blindfold on. The treadmill was set at a comfortable pace of around 30 minutes per mile, with a laser warning system to alert them if they were about to fall off the back of the treadmill. The results showed that oxygen use (a proxy for energy consumption), breathing, and heart rate all increased substantially when wearing the heavy pack, as you'd expect. The surprise was that they increased by nearly the same amount when adding a blindfold. Here are the graphs of those three parameters, with (circles) or without (squares) the blindfold: If you compare the circles on the left (i.e. blindfolded with no backpack) to the squares on the right (i.e. not blindfolded with a backpack), you see they're almost the same. In other words, walking with a blindfold takes as much extra effort as walking with a 56-pound pack. To be precise, the backpack increased oxygen consumption by 20 percent, while blindfolding increased oxygen consumption 19 percent. The explanation for this effect seems to be that the subjects adjusted their strides when blindfolded: their steps got 11 percent shorter and 6 percent wider, and they also lifted their feet 18 percent higher. Bear in mind that this is on a perfectly flat treadmill, so there are no bumps or potholes to avoid: this is just an instinctive response. It's also worth noting that the effect probably isn't just because they're unfamiliar with the challenge of walking while blindfolded: a similar test of blind subjects found that they burned about 25 percent more energy while walking than sighted controls. Of course, being blindfolded is significantly more disruptive than wearing night goggles, or simply being out at night in poorly lit conditions. That means the size of the effect is probably exaggerated. And walking is different from running. But it seems reasonable to assume that similar mechanisms are at work when you're running in the dark—along with other, more subtle mechanisms like optic flow, which is the pattern of objects flowing through your vision as you move through space. When you're running or cycling in the dark, you can only see objects that are relatively close to you. That means that they appear in your field of vision only briefly before disappearing behind you, which corresponds to faster optic flow than you'd experience in daylight. A few previous studies, most notably those by Dave Parry and Dominic Micklewright of the University of Essex, have tried manipulating optic flow in virtual reality setups, making the scenery fly past more quickly or slowly than the speed of the treadmill or exercise bike. Sure enough, when optic flow is faster—as you'd experience in dark conditions—you feel like you're moving faster, and any given pace feels harder. There's an interesting corollary to these findings about optic flow, as Parry explained to Runner's World's Scott Douglas back in 2012. “Running in an environment where most of the visual reference points you can see are close by, you experience a greater sensation of speed than when in an environment where your reference points are far away,” he said. That means running through a forest or through city streets will likely feel faster than running across an open field. Ever since reading about those optical flow results, I've dismissed the gap between my actual and perceived pace during night runs as a quirk of how my brain estimates effort. During most of my runs, that gap doesn't matter—but if I'm trying to do a tempo run or hard workout before sunrise, the slower pace can be a bummer. So I'll take the new Swedish results as reassurance that night running might really be physiologically harder, not just a brain error—and if that's what it takes to avoid tripping in the dark, I'll accept the trade-off.

Training Discussion: Regular Testing Regular testing to determine your threshold intensities in each discipline is an important (arguably essential) practice to getting faster. This works for new and experienced athletes. Newer athletes may find this a bit demanding, but it will help you get faster, faster. Testing regularly is particularly helpful for athletes who have some experience and find themselves plateauing in their performance. Here's how the cycle works. Take bike power for example. You want to take a baseline FTP test to determine your Functional Threshold Power. FTP is theoretically the power in Watts you can average for 45-60 minutes. This FTP becomes an anchor point for determining your training zones. Having accurately determined training zones is important for making sure you do prescribed training in the right zones. For example, if you want to increase your threshold power you need to train at that Z4 Threshold zone to train your body to process muscle lactate efficiently. The more time you spend in that zone, the more adaptation you get. Without the FTP number or accurate substitute, you may be training in the wrong zone (eg Z3 or Z5), neither of which create the same adaptation of teaching your body to improve lactate processing and increasing your capacity to do work. Training regularly and progressively overloading the correct training zones over the course of 3 weeks on the 4th week you retest. If things are working, the next FTP test is at a higher average power than the one 4 weeks earlier. You then adjust the training zones. In this case increasing the power ranges for each zone. Another 3 weeks of training at the new (accurate) zones causes another adaptation, another test, another increase, another adjustment to training zones, etc. Swim: Perform a 400 time trial effort from a push (not dive). Recover for 10 to 15 minutes with easy swimming and rest. Perform a 200 time trial effort from a push. Looking to calculate CSS or CV as Meters or Yards Per Minute. The higher the number the faster your are. If you go real fast on the 200 and real slow on the 400 - that counts against you. Your 200 should be about 6% faster than the 400. Bike Power on a trainer is best 20 or 45 minute Or 15 miles without power Run: 5k Time Trial as if racing Do on a track or flat course Always repeat on the same track or course if possible How to execute a perfectly paced test. Consider how big of an improvement over the last two tests in that discipline. Consider how well the athlete is training at Z4 and Z5. Start with the average pace or power from the previous test and set a reasonable increase as the target pace or power. Execute at that power or pace start to finish. Don't start faster. Excerpt from Swim Test Pacing: For the 200 target 58 seconds per lap which will put you close to 1:56/100 pace or 3:51 200. For the 400 target 59 seconds per lap for the first 4 and 60 seconds per lap for the last 4. If you feel you have some gas increase the stroke rate on the last lap.
