Hill Interval Training - Hill-Running

[gabbu1984]

maxewii--- I think you got the numbers alittle bit wrong. You have set your maximum heartrate a little bit low. Having said that, it doesn't take away all the effort you put in to this video.

[maxewiii]

@gabbu1984 you don't "set your maximum heart rate"...Polar - the watch computer, calculates it based on the personal data you input, such as age, gender, activity level, & a baseline resting heart rate test it performs first thing in the morning while you're lying down.

i have a german shepherd aswell :)

[xoMALxoPINEAUxo]

what kind of heart rate monitor is that

i know its polar but what is it specifically

[masanchez34]

What kind of watch is that??

[jreacher79]

Where's the dog's HRM? :P

Great video, the hill looks like a killer!

[AbsoluteMonarchist]

I need to do a big poo...

[thatoneguy158]

Whew... just ran as fast as I could around my neighborhood.. at night! Gotta go do that stuff whenever you have energy. That's my motto.

[alca5382]

maaaan you are hot:))) and i love your dog!

[slash1syn1]

so then we just run up and down a hill until the monitor says 100 %? or about how many times?

[prestonhocker]

"huff and puff mode"... Im going to steal that for my students... thanks for the video.

Hey what is your opinion on Tabata Interval Training?

[ray63087]

ive been doing 10min distance 10 min hiit my last few workouts wHat do u think about that? also im like to know what you think about greg plitts training/eating that he talked about in his ironman mag. intreview? so diff than what everyone else is doing? thanks

Well - 100% is relative to what you set your max pulse to on your watch.

So your 100% does not prove anything.

I dont have a pulsemessure, but i DO hillinterval - i dont need a pulse watch to tell me when im maxed out.

[maxewiii]

WRONG: the Polar Heart Rate monitor calculates my Maximum Heart Rate based on age, gender, fitness leve, & VO2-Maximum, so I am max'd out relative to my own maximum heart rate...please do your research.

[maxewiii]

of course you don't need a H.R. monitor, but how accurate & precise would you like to be? A H.R. monitor also calculates calories burned & lets you know when you've 'recovered' during the non-working part of the interval. Have fun taking your pulse though!

@maxewiii Great vid, looks like you need to raise your MHR on your polar. Someone with your fitness should be passing out at 100% at the end of your interval.

[CHA3DUB]

@aab163 true, you dont need a heart rate monitor unless you really want to know what heart rate you have at max!!

And anybody knows when they have maxed its common sense! bloody yanks....lol

Hey everyone. Did anybody see that the sweet doggy at the last up-hill running was totaly broke? It was just walking:)The guy is in better shape then the dog:)

[richardm80]

I am 5'9 and weigh 140lbs with about 15% bodyfat. I want to look like you but need to put on lots of muscle mass first which I find hard. Would be cool to see more videos from you on building muscle, maybe you in the gym etc.

[maxewiii]

okay for sure I'll make some more of those - I have made several to include olympic lifting & resistance bands & spartan-training, & kettlebell. Plus running hills does in fact build leg mass:)

[richardm80]

@maxewiii Nice one bro. I have watched all your videos. I really appreciate you taking the time to make them and put them up for free. You are definitely living the dream out there.

I live in Scotland and we are covered in snow just now and it has been so cold lately I find it hard to keep active. Must be cool to live in a warm climate like that where you can train outside everyday :)

Great video Max! After you do a HIIT exercise like hill sprints, would you usually follow it with a lower intensity type activity, such as slow jogging for 10 minutes to warm down?

[maxewiii]

YES! - Definitely allow ten minutes for cool-down! You know you're stuff! thanks for commenting!

[abarca1]

Thanks Max for the great video. HIIT is an awesome way to train that is time efficient! I think everyone can benefit from that

[maxewiii]

HIIT has the greateste exercise VALUE!

[cumbinow4fun]

Damn Max all man....gotta love ya...
