When my core muscles are recovering from a workout that has stressed them a bit, my brain, for some reason, translates that sensation as hunger. So even if I've literally just eaten, I feel as if I am hungry. It's a little disconcerting.

Is that weird? Does anyone else get this? (I asked Google but it misunderstood my question, as usual).

Am I the only one who finds it mildly infuriating that instruction for resistance/strength/martial arts training tend to bang on about exhaling - exhale for power, strength! Exhale while pushing! Etc.... But rarely mention inhaling?

In some cases, like when doing rapid repetitions of a movement (say, jabs) I struggle to figure out when I should be breathing IN!

Hiking again! Ellis Brook Valley Reserve. Initially we did a short ~2km loop which took barely an hour but after our recent accidental 14km hike that felt like nothing, so most of us rose to the challenge of climbing (and I mean climbing, hand involvement was a must!) up a steep slope to enjoy this amazing view.

When I first started doing cardio for the sake of exercise a couple years ago, I was a bit concerned that when my heart rate hit my maximum, I got this odd pain behind my right collarbone. But google-diagnosis reassured me that my heart wasn't about to explode, so I soldiered on and figured I was just out of shape.

(My concern was heightened by my smartwatch at the time reporting my HR at 220bpm when my max should have been like 181. New watch is actually accurate though so that helps)

Now it's been a couple years and I still feel it and take it as a signal from my body that my HR is maxed (it is a remarkably reliable indicator) and maybe I should chill a bit, but I do still wonder why on earth I get this pain. I noticed that that if I put my fingers just above the point that hurts, I can feel my pulse. Does anyone else get this?
Can any clever mastadonians shed light on it? Every time I google it all I can find is info about injuries that cause pain there.
