August Week 1 - Hill Sprints, Ridge Riding, and Koko Head Hike!

This Week’s Activity and Events:

This week we try and follow the metrics on our Garmin watches to make sure we are including enough low aerobic and anaerobic workouts in our exercise routine. Most of the exercising we do ends up being right between those two in the high aerobic range. We’ll get into some more detail on these metrics in future videos as it appears to be very helpful in broadening our aerobic capacity and helping become much more well-rounded athletes. So, we work in some hill sprints to try and get our heart rate up in the zone 5 range, which is pretty close to maximum.

We tackle Koko Head Hike again for the first time since our Nieces and Nephew were here in June and then do some more cycling as Jay is preparing for the 112 mile Dick Evans Memorial Road Race around the island of Oahu at the end of the month. This was a really good productive week!
