In this episode of the podcast, Robin McNelis joins me again for part 2 of a series where we aim to cover a variety of topics which will support pacing/micropacing and much more.
In this episode we discuss the exertion types and what uses energy, we recap on what pacing is and why it is important when you live with a chronic condition such as ME and long covid. Robin discusses the principles of pacing and the varying forms of pacing, we discuss listening to your body and the challenges of this with PEM/PESE. Robin explains how monitoring your HR/HRV is important, what is available to monitor this data and how to understand what level to set your alerts at to remain within the anaerobic threshold. We discuss the lactate threshold and Robin explains the zones of this threshold and how important it is to remain within the lactate threshold, especially those with PEM. Robin advises how the lactate threshold can be tested at home, and clinical testing. We additionally discuss how those with Orthostatic intolerance, PoTs can find it challenging to maintain their heart rate within their threshold due to heart rate spikes. Robin gives some great advice on how to support this and lots of other amazing information and advice throughout this podcast, so grab a cuppa and have a listen.
