They’re all just as shit. I broke a glass jar last time one of them broke on me.
On a related note, one of my endless todo items is to figure out a decent way to store them in the back of the car. My thought atm is to get some sort of flat, wide elastic strap and secure it to a corner of the boot, and then just kind of mush them all together in the elastic strap.
I’ve tried the car boot organisers. Their shit.
Fascinating read, and it reinforces the notion that nothing changes by accepting the status quo and letting issues pass that you don’t agree with. I’ve seen this play out in jobs I’ve worked in, in smaller fashion. There is always the one person who seems like a pita who always asks the questions or points out the inconsistencies when some decision is handed down by mgmt. Without those people then nothing changes for the better.
Its a fine line to tread, and it will be great to see what difference Jonathan makes going forward.
I’ll take a look! 2x runs in a day sounds like a good way to get around that limit, although that would require finding the time to do 2x runs in a day :D
Ok, that makes sense. I’ve only intermittently been doing intervals. I’ll try to make them a more regular part of my runs and see how it goes.
What a great introspective.
I did a z2 run the other day in a 35C dry heat. For me, z2 is 130 - 135 HR, and I ended up with an avg pace of 8:00/km or worse.
Also, I’ve been told there’s some downsides to doing training runs that go much over 2 hours - which limits the distance you can reasonably run. Unless you either pick up the pace (and therefore your HR) or your pace naturally increases while keeping your HR low.
How does someone start getting their body used to longer distances to train for a full marathon, doing z2 runs? It doesn’t compute, so I guess to train for that I’d have to start doing 25-30km z2 runs, going for 3hrs or more.
Jokes aside, he’s a disgrace. Sadly, considering he has been re-elected in the past despite worse behaviour, I expect this will be celebrated in his electorate.
Comfortably leading the race as she entered the last 12 miles, her vision began clouding from the periphery. Temporary distorted vision isn't unheard of in ultra-running; the stress of running so hard and long can mean the body struggles to refresh the fluid in the eyeball as usual. It is a condition known as corneal edema. But Dauwalter's case was particularly severe. As she continued towards the finish line, it worsened until she was effectively 90% blind.
…
Dauwalter made it to the aid station, but instead of dropping out, she used a volunteer to guide her by narrating the terrain as they ran. A battered and bleeding Dauwalter crossed the finish line - the first woman to do so that day - in 20 hours 38 minutes 09 seconds,, external with her vision returning to normal five hours later.
Wtaf. That is freaking amazing.
Fair!! Ya gotta work up to it.
I respectfully disagree.
I put my degree on hold because I just couldn’t summon the motivation at the time to finish. 2 subjects shy of graduating.
FF 8 years later and my then current boss asks about it, I said I’d never finished it because reasons. He offers to help pay for any subjects I need to take to complete. It turns out if I’d left it on hold for any longer I would have forfeited the whole thing.
He not only paid the money for me to finish those last two subjects; once I graduated he bumped my pay substantially because now he had a university-educated staff member on the books.
Whats your best nickname for Garmin’s Training status? Most recent one I heard was “Magic 8 Ball Garmin”
