Thank you so much! I got a Vega Surfski today! First paddle was in the ocean and mixed up conditions. Only swam 5 times. LOL. I feel like it is going to be fast, I just need to dial in the foot plate position, and get more time in. Where do you paddle Rodd? What craft?
Hey, Nick. We use one of the methods found at paddleninja.com/finding-your-max-heart-rate/ (doesn't matter which, just pick one and try it) to get our initial max heart rate. And we also track our heart rates during races and workouts and adjust if we see a higher HR outside of testing. As for the zones, we have found the following to work pretty well for training, at least with the plans we use. Zone 2:
Well done boys. Keep posting.

Thank you Rodd. Where do you paddle? What is your craft of choice?
Australia, NSW Central Coast. Swordfish - still learning the ropes !
@@roddhamilton8473 that’s awesome. It’s really good for mind and body to learn new skills. We are on the same journey.
Awesome videos, thank you.
Glad you like them, James! Thanks for the kind comment.
Thanks!! 🙏
looks cold
Not too bad...it is was really cold, you'd see Rod wearing 43 layers and a drysuit. Warm days are coming!
No booties as of about 10 days ago!! That is a big deal for us!! Do you have to wear neoprene where you paddle?
Hey guys, just wondering how you got your max heart rate and how you worked out your zones? Cheers
