INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The best way to start increasing your lactate threshold is to gradually increase your weekly training time. Work with your personal trainer or coach to set a reasonable target goal and discuss the best way to reach that goal. For example, if you are currently doing 100 minutes of cardiovascular exercise per week, you might set a goal of working up to 200 minutes per week. If you don't have a trainer or coach, ask your primary healthcare provider for advice. They may be able to refer you to someone who can help you meet your fitness goals. Work up to your target training volume gradually to achieve the best and safest results. Increase your exercise time each week in increments of 10-20%whichever works best for you. If you're going from 100 to 200 minutes of exercise per week at an increase of 20% per week, you should reach your goal in 4 weeks. As you're gradually ramping up your total exercise time, keep your level of exertion light and easy. Don't worry about using an objective measure of intensity. Instead, focus on how intense the exercise feels to you. The goal is to keep your level of exertion around 11-12 ("fairly light") on the Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale, which you can view here: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/borg-scale/. Your level of activity should feel comfortable (e.g., walking at a pace that is not fast enough to significantly increase your breathing and heart rate). You don't always have to exercise for the same amount of time during each training session. Work with your trainer to figure out what works best for you. However, aim for a minimum time of 10 minutes per session. For example, you might do a low-intensity 45-minute treadmill session one day, and 2 20-minute sessions the next.

SUMMARY: Set a weekly training goal. Increase your training volume by 10-20% per week. Keep the intensity light while you are increasing your exercise volume. Vary your time per session.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you plan on changing the color of the wall beneath the stripes, you should do so before you add the chevron pattern. Let the base paint dry and cure for at least three days. Note that if you are satisfied with the color of the walls already and the paint is still in good shape, you can skip this step. At the top of your wall, or at the top of the portion to be painted, use a pencil to mark each peak for your top chevron stripe. The peaks should be spaced apart evenly. Use a level and yardstick to make sure that the peaks are also in an even horizontal line. Otherwise, you could end up with a chevron stripe that slopes downward. Chevron stripes consist of peaks and valleys. The pattern should be even, so in order to accomplish this, the distance between the peaks should be the same as the distance between the valleys. Note that a larger gap in between peaks will result in a wider set pattern while smaller gaps will create a tighter pattern. Use a pencil to mark the peaks of the second row beneath the peaks of the first. The vertical distance between peaks should be exactly the same as the horizontal distance, and the new peaks should be vertically even with the previous peaks. Repeat for the remaining rows. Use a yardstick and level to keep the peaks even both horizontally and vertically. Use a pencil to lightly mark the valleys of each chevron stripe. With the exception of the top row, each row of peaks should coincide with a row of valleys. The valley points should be spaced evenly in between each pair of peak points. All the valleys should be vertically aligned with one another. Use a yardstick and a level to keep the points even. Note that you will also need a final row of valley points below the final row of peak points. Lay small strips of painters tape to create the outline of your chevron stripes. Lay the tape peak to valley, valley to peak, peak to valley, valley to peak, and so on, until all the dots are connected. When done, you should see the shape of your chevron stripes. Lay the tape so that it falls out the outside of the stripes, rather than on the inside. Do not worry if the interval stripe appears smaller than the rest. This is only an optical illusion. Make sure that the tape is securely and completely adhered to the wall to prevent possible bleeding underneath it. While you can technically paint your chevron stripes directly from this point on, it can be a good idea to do a bit of preliminary work with the paint before diving straight into the final product. Dab a little paint into the stripes using your roller. Use the paint color that will go inside each row as you dab it on. This will help you stay on track. Use a paint roller or paintbrush to seal the edges of the tape in place with your base coat color. Let dry before you paint. Use a paint roller to carefully paint inside the outlined chevron stripes. Let dry completely. Work from top to bottom to avoid smudging and smearing. Once dry, carefully peel the painters tape off the wall. Your chevron pattern should now be complete. You must wait until the paint is dry before removing the tape. Otherwise, you could end up smearing the paint into another area.

SUMMARY: Paint your base color. Mark the peaks of your first stripe. Mark the peaks for your remaining rows. Plot the valleys. Tape off the pattern. Do some preliminary painting. Paint the stripes. Remove the tape.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your pet thrives on routine and before you disrupt it completely, you should prepare them well in advance. Start by adding short periods of separation to your pet's daily routine so they get used to your absence, and the absence of others, at home. You may do this over a period of a few weeks leading up to the back school season so your pet is prepared. For example, you may try to leave your pet alone for ten to fifteen minutes in the house while you go chat to a neighbor next door. Or you may leave your pet on their own for an hour while you go run errands in the area. You should also get your pet used to playing alone, as it will be less strange to them once the time comes for you to leave. Give your pet toys that they can play with on their own or leave them alone with a toy so they can have a solo play session. For example, if you have a dog, you may give them a puzzle game that dispenses treats once they have solved a puzzle or figured out how to open a trapdoor in the game. If you have a hamster, you may put a wheel in their cage so they can run on the wheel to occupy themselves when they are alone. If you have a cat, you may provide a scratching post so your cat can play and scratch to their heart's content while you are away. You should try to minimize the drama of you leaving and returning home so your pet does not get riled up when you come and go. You may try to simply open the door and exit quietly so your pet is not even aware that you are leaving. When you arrive home, you may remain quiet and calm so your pet does not become too excited by your return. Try to get others in your household in the habit of making a quiet entrance and a calm return to the home. This will allow your pet to see your leaving and entering as no big deal and become less stressed by the occurrence.

SUMMARY:
Add periods of separation to your pet's routine. Encourage your pet to get used to playing alone. Do not make a big deal of leaving and entering the home.
