Nah, not mad. Impressed with the data and skeptical. I've done plenty of endurance events Ironman's - Ultra's - Marathons so I'm using my own point of view. I'm just seeking other opinions with an open mindset.
I'm returning to running after being off for a couple years after life and health issues. I'm just jogging or shuffling now. My heart rate during my "running" is rarely over 100. I'm 60 years old however.
The numbers you showed are probably just where he wants to be in order to complete 3000 miles. In fact, I'd think those days going harder with friends are not good. Don't want too many of those.
Don't know the numbers from others doing similar feats, but again, it sounds about right to maintain for 3000 miles.
Great info. Just glanced at Michael Wardian on Strava & will compare the two runners. I'm using their last 6 runs and just adding up Strava HR Range zone.
The first 6 days of their journey's. Percentage of time Wardian spent in HR zones Z1 with a Coros = 65% Percentage of time Nance runs in HR zones Z1 with a Garmin = 38%
For their last 6 runs. Percentage of time Wardian spent in HR zones Z1 with a Coros Vertix 2 = 62.5% Percentage of time Nance spent in HR zones Z1 with a Garmin = 97.5%
Hmm...
You are very paranoid. There is a UFO following him if you look close enough.
hr data is really tricky. if you're putting in extreme volume you have to remember your max hr goes down and typically everything else along with it, except for resting hr.
I have heard this before, but is there any science/fact behind this?

Good input. Great job on the comeback. If I decided to run across America, I would certainly try and stay within a low HR zone too. Would expect some fluctuations due to conditions but I probably would keep them in check as best as I could.
Alright, I'm leaning on this being a legit effort based upon data.

not sure of the specific mechanisms at play (forget rn, it's been several years since i've been into hr data), but it's definitely a typical response to much higher than normal volume. i would actually say it's a great way to tell if you can handle more volume or not.
