That’s how I noticed the problem first, and thought it was due to the exercise.
Could be something else though. At least if it hurts a lot, you can try to move the watch to the other hand to see if it stops (or if unfortunately the other hand starts to hurt).
I think the only useful information for VO2max is when you open the yearly graph and then you can see the trends. Otherwise, day-to-day, not accurate. Needs maybe a month of training to spit out a remotely useful number.
But speaking of this - VO2max of around 40 sounds about right, if you’re not super active, running a few months. It’s not really an indication of durability, how long you’ve run. The estimate is more about how much energy you can spend for a given heart rate.
In a year or so, if add some sprints, HIIT, hills, you’ll be 50ish and rising :)
I hate it. It’s so disrespectful to Rune, like he’s a sure runover in the final and similar shit.
People writing and talking about this never played any sport competitively, let alone tennis, the sport that’s individual and so mental that you simply can’t allow yourself to do these calculations.
They don’t get it. Sinner will not have a single doubt, win or lose. He wouldn’t be in this situation or any final at all if he was this type of person.
Nope, that’s not how competition works. If you want to be the champion you need to be ready to beat anybody at any time.
Sinner had 2 choices: to play his best and put himself in a position to make history for himself, or to obviously tank and get into a situation where he loses against a “weaker” opponent and then imagine that shitstorm for him.
He made a right choice, and these things are exactly the ones that distinguish the champion from a one-time hot shot. There is absolutely no match that is a guaranteed win and you can’t really win by losing.
