ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

Curious what zone 2 is. Not heart rate beats per minute, but in terms of percentage of max heart rate.

Before my knees gave out, most of my training was 60% - 75% max heart rate. Then I'd add one interval workout at threshold, 85% - 90% of max, and one interval workout at 90% and over. Don't forget the strength workouts.

Zone 2 is 70-80% of heart rate max. Most of your training in 60-75% would pretty much cover that. You are primarily burning fat as fuel (which even elites have lots of) and as you start to get anaerobic, you shift from primarily fat to glycogen, which is limited to 90 minutes to 2 hours for pretty much every human. Your training sounds like the definition of how to improve and train - two quality sessions that get you about 20% hard work and the rest is easy or long.

The thing I am now starting to read up on is for long runs, building in race specificity (race pace). I do think this was an issue for me, as in my last half, my heart rate didn't get super high, but I probably left minutes on the table. Because I was pacing ahead of my projection, I was afraid I would crash out. Looks like I erred on the other side.

I am living and learning.

LMK if you guys want a new thread for ^^ this. Tell me what to call it too.

I would love a 'today's run' or 'today's run and training' thread. I kind of dumped into this one my road running.

PS, because of the trail running thread here and chat GPT, I am now doing 2 of my 5x per week runs on trails. Diversity of training compared to road running and reduces injury risk. My weeks look like this now: Vo2 max day (400 m repeats), easy day (trails now), Long repeats day (3 x 1.5 miles), day off, easy day (trails now), long run, day off.

The biggest drop in used Tesla prices came in the period when in addition to uncertainty around the tax credit, the car rental companies went from a big bet on EVs to, 'we are selling these things now no matter what'. I do think Hertz still sells Tesla's directly at a decent deal . . . .

I would think there will be a lot coming off lease in the near future though. Offering insurance on the battery should help Tesla move them

Let me know if ya can find one for sale from Hertz. I think they already ditched them all.

Seems MuSKi is directly renting them out now with free charging & chauffeur to boot.

Tesla turns to rentals as sales continue to spiral

Rent a Tesla directly from Tesla.

Considering I bought mine for $41K after all the incentives, that really isn't a terrible depreciation.

This doesn't mean they're selling.
Trust me, they are swinging for the fence with that price.

CarGurus rates it as a "Good Deal" FWIW.

How many do you want at $32,900?
LoL

I am here to report that the bed in the Maverick hybrid is big enough to hold two pairs of skis.
