Dvorak Apr 2018 10:40pm, 7 Apr 2018 15,794 posts	0 Dvorak I found in fact the very page in which Mr Huffman makes a Startling Revelation, and some Opinions subsequently are Strongly Expressed: fetcheveryone.com/forum__3882__1169__heart_rate
struthious Apr 2018 12:20am, 8 Apr 2018 993 posts	0 struthious They are indeed strongly expressed. I don,t know why I should be so shocked to find bs on a MHR topic. Just the depth of futility (as we only ever compete with one person) I guess. waves to Phidip I started off using the 220-age (its in the GARMIN maual) as a rough guide to my 80% of running at an easy pace, Phidip. My real pace for 80% of my running is 1min per km better than that aaaannnd although 1 min/km faster its easy! Hi ho got off to a slooow start, but good old Fetchland sorts this stuff out bless its cotton socks. Which is another thing I've learned from this site.... never put those socks in a toaster.
Flatlander Apr 2018 8:56am, 8 Apr 2018 1,099 posts	0 Flatlander Thanks for that Dvorak. Reading it 9 years later and as someone who wasn't around at the time, it was quite comical, although obviously not for the people affected.
Badger Apr 2018 9:32am, 8 Apr 2018 9,245 posts	0 Badger Lordy. I like the bit where Huff claims he's a very patient man. I remember getting in a massive row with him about the physics of treadmill inclines; I was trying to use logic and physics, he was arguing that he'd been to a good university so he must be right. He didn't come across at all patient when I pointed out the fallacy in that.
LazyDaisy Apr 2018 12:50pm, 8 Apr 2018 22,044 posts	0 LazyDaisy I'm rather glad I've never ventured onto that thread I'm just glad my heart is still beating after a run (or at any time) though I have read up on 'Splanchnik shunts' after seeing some bizarre readings occasionally. Is it my imagination or has Fetchland become more mellow now?
Flatlander Apr 2018 1:06pm, 8 Apr 2018 1,101 posts	0 Flatlander I've been here only 8 years so I can't comment on Fetchland's mellowing. However, a couple of people post comments on other threads which are sometimes aggressive and condescending to the views of others. They justify their behaviour as "just being blunt", failing to see the difference between that and aggressiveness. The overwhelming number of Fetchies are prepared to discuss and accept that there are different viewpoints, which benefits everyone.
