Sport Today

When Felice, the amazing orange skirted marathoner, was training she
always counted every 2 games as one mile.  So a four game Sunday was
two miles.  And six games on Saturday was three.

This seems about right to me.

Of course, this variable depending on conditions...but ya'll know what
I mean.

Based on time I think.

1 game = 1:30 minutes
1 10k run = 45 minutes
1 player plays "half" the game usually (especially if you're a
line-hog)

Therefore playing-time equals 45-minutes which inturn equals 10km
approx.

first, say the average ultimate player plays in 10 points in a game.
(game to 15, final score say 15-9.)
say we have 1 turn a point. (a decidedly average game of ultimate.)
so thats 20 possesions with about a 160 yards of running/jogging a
possesion=
3200 yards about 3 K.

And in conclusion, i suggest you show above and beyond 2000 instead of
giving a speech.

and it looks like I sentenced another kitten to death.

People hang out in the stack.  People walk back.  You aren't always
cutting (unless you are Felice, in the amazing orange miniskirt).
Even if you cut all the time, it's pretty unlikely you are guarding
someone who cuts all the time.

I say no more than a mile per game unless you are a long guarding a
long on a team with incredibly horrible throws/catches.  And maybe if
you are in the Cup...but even then, my guess is just about a mile.

BTW - I am a handler. Keep calling me & my fellow handlers lazy and we
won't throw to you. So just keep running - you'll never be open... :)

oops, I just realized the above activities are equivalent. i get it
now.

If you only run 2k in a game, I don't know if I really want to play
with you at Kudzu and the other BRiC tourneys.

With all of your turnovers at BOB III, maybe you ran 2k in the sand...

Dude...that's because Ultimate is a sprint/stop type of sport...or
least it should be if you are playing it right.  You should have a
high average heart rate because you should be burning ass to the disc
(which jacks your heart rate up).

But you should only be sprinting for 50...oh wait...you're a
handler...25 yards.  Your heart rate remains up even when you stop
because your body needs a set amount of recovery time before your
heart rate will drop back down.

In a marathon, your heart rate rises to that level and stays there
consistently because you are putting your body on a fairly consistent
level of stress.

So it does make sense that you sprinting and stopping would give
stress your heart like running a marathon does...

But just because your heart is being stressed...doesn't mean you are
running 6 ***ing miles a game.

If I go watch Scream or even scarier, a *NSYNC concert and my heart is
racing for two hours that doesn't mean I ran a half-marathon.

Just clarifying

PS...on a side note...were the two events (the Marathon and the game)
close together (within 1 or 2 weeks max. of each other)?  Because that
would make that data far more relevant...otherwise, levels of fitness
have a huge effect on your working heart rate.

And it only takes three days of not training at the same
level/intensity to lose 33% of your cardio performance (ability to do
an activity at a high intensity with a lesser rise in heart rate and
quicker recovery time).
