oh cmon he's fine he's just being dramatic

Happy Friday gang, my dad is dealing with sudden unexplained mouth swelling and my partner is tachychardic!

First time his heart rate’s ever been higher than mine so 168bpm is the new record to beat

(My high score is 148 :( but my resting average is around 110, so it’s not all that high comparatively)

My heart beat was at 168bpm when the goal happened. I was shaking so bad lol

The things football can do to a person 😂

Recovery.

One thing the Garmin computer does is when a ride is over it will tell you a recovery time. I assume that means how long you should rest before the next session. All it gives you is a number.

My 72 km ride was a larger strain on the old body. The garmin told me it would take 53 hours to recover. That is about the longest it has ever said. I don't think the Granfondo needed that long, but being in shape helps. I am still climbing that hill.

Come summer 75 km is trivial.

Recovery is real and reflects your body repairing damage and adjusting things to compensate for what just happened. One measurable effect was my resting heart rate has been significantly higher since the ride. It had been about 52 to 55 for a while. Last few days it is 62ish. It is this repair work that builds fitness.

Resting heart rate is an important factor. It means your heart and vascular system is more efficient. Fit people can have really low heart rates. I also have a remarkably high maximum. Currently it is about 168bpm. That is an estimate as I cannot push so hard as to actually hit it anymore. Last time I did it was in the 180s about 15 years ago. The formula of 220-age is very fuzzy. I read somewhere that the Std Dev was 12 or 13 which is a lot.

Tonight is another indoor session and I hope it feels noticeably easier. It should.

What running every day for 7 days did for me (personal and fitbit data):

Lowered my resting heart rate from 68bpm to 55bpm

Raised my cardio fitness score from the low end of 32 (average, leaning towards poor for women my age ) to 36 (low end of good)

Barely ran 2.4km at a 6'39" average pace to running 3.11km at a 6'12" average pace

Cardiovascular control greatly improved, greater stamina and less tightness/struggle to take a full breath, no longer need to use an inhaler before a run

Run on Sept. 2 had me at 13 minutes in my peak zone (168bpm+), 2 min cardio (134bpm - 167bpm) and 1 min fat burn (113bpm - 133bpm), run on Sept 9 had me at 1 min peak, 11 min cardio, 5 min fat burn

Basically I have run inconsistently since April because gyms were closed. I never ran before this, however I was very active - i just focused primarily on weight lifting and got my cardio from walking up hill on a treadmill, or the stair master and occasionally, interval training. But my cardio was still bad. My first run in April, I barely made 1.5km running at a 6'30" average pace & I had to take my inhalers. I was on and off running, going 1 - 2 times a week to once every few weeks. As a result my fitbit stats plummetted. I was only going on walks and doing yoga (my cardio fitness score used to be up to 39, which was good-very good for women my age & my resting heart rate was down to 53). Not that there's anything wrong with low scores but I was just not feeling my best, I was very stressed and was struggling with depression. So recently I've decided to genuinely put effort into running because I am NOT good at it (never have been) and it's a new challenge for me... and this month I started with just committing to doing it every day as long as I could just to see how much I could improve those numbers & I'm honestly very impressed. I'm hoping to continue running every day the rest of this month to see how I can improve, assuming no extenuating circumstances mean I cant (but i wont beat myself up!! I just want to do the best I can)

If you, like me, think you arent a runner but you've always been envious of people who are, honestly just try it. Just run as far as you can as long as you can (genuinely try to push past your discomfort for as long as it feels safe, because it WILL be uncomfortable at first). If it gets too difficult, walk & then run again when you feel it's safe to do so. Map out a goal for yourself close to your home (maybe it's run a 1km loop without stopping - that was mine! i ended up being able to safely push to 1.5km on my first run with positive encouragement from my bf even though it was hard!!!) & keep running it until you can do the whole thing - then set a new goal. Dont worry about pacing right away, that can be improved with time! Just run at a comfortable speed!

My current big goal is to run 5km without stopping. Once i hit that maybe I'll be content or maybe I'll want to run longer! I'll have to see how I feel.

But yes, just wanted to share my success! Also to be transparent, I've been incorporating other workouts every couple days (either light dumbells if I'm at my bfs, or body weight/interval/band circuit workouts if at home). So improvements are not SOLELY from running but the stuff I'm doing takes no more than 30 - 60 min including stretching.

Running really is just putting one foot in front of the other, running to the end of the next block, finishing up that last 500m, until you genuinely can't anymore. I really encourage you to try!!

April 2020

In light of the recent coronavirus outbreak, those of us who are privileged enough to not be key workers, have begun a new lifestyle. Organisations have adapted all around; from cafés going to delivery only to the influx of influencer and band livestreams on social media platforms, people have found a new way of communicating. We thought we’d use this opportunity to try something new, and this blog is that. We wanted to create a window into No War as we see it, to shed some light on what goes on behind the scenes, for those who are interested.

As you would guess, in the world of self-isolation, it has a been a quiet month. We had a hometown show planned with our friends in Crawlers, for which we were all really excited – but that obviously did not go ahead. We had also planned to begin recording some new music this month, that also was thrown aside. Instead, our last few weeks have consisted of recording fifteen second riffs on iPhones, Google Drive demos, and, most notably, releasing our Three Song Promo on cassettes with Counterculture Records.

I aimed to get a lot of writing done given the circumstances and so I got to work. I didn’t initially have a DAW on my laptop because all of the writing we do is generally together at Nathan’s or in a practice space - unlike the songs on the Three Song Promo, which I wrote most of before the band really existed, on an old laptop. Writing in a DAW feels like more of a scientific approach than jamming in a room, it always makes me aware of the constraints in music, that of tempo, key, time signature, and song & section length. So, when I’m stuck on a track, I often go back to these core ideas and I’ll look for inspiration in others’ music. One way I’ve found personally good for working in the constraint of tempo, is that I’ve made a spreadsheet of a couple of my favourite albums and tapped out the tempo to all the tracks and changes, so I have a reference for tracks I can adapt ideas from. I’ve been stuck (and as of writing, still am) on a track that’s a rewrite of a song we had when No War began that was about 168bpm. This isn’t a particularly unusual tempo, but I felt that I needed rhythmic inspiration. Then is when I go to my references and find tracks a couple tracks at a similar tempo; I went to the What You Don’t See record by TSSF. WYDS is one of my favourite records for groove, specifically the way they lock in the bass and kick together and work the snare and the guitars together (not even mentioning the lyrical flows). I also went to Floral Green by Title Fight, I love how that album uses chord progressions that move around above the groove, often changing offbeat, and the way that pushes sections forward – at this tempo, they often pair it with what I guess would be called a classic 70s sounding punk beat (like the one in Secret Society). So the remains of this old unused song and the inspiration from those two albums are my impetus for this track. If the song turns out any good, I guess you’ll find out.

Anyway, I’ll keep it short, the way things are is changing, so we thought we’d try something new. Feel free to leave questions, feedback, or any topics you’d like us to talk about in the future, and thanks for reading.
