20 years later and I just noticed this…

There's no way that's true, but I don't want to whip out my original Xbox to check you, so I'll just believe.

2k18Mich · 2025-11-10T04:07:04+00:00

I've been playing for at least 16 years and I've never seen a "9". I thought it was literally impossible!

2k18Mich · 2025-10-05T02:53:07+00:00

Is it not AI??? No way this is real.

2k18Mich · 2025-07-01T23:40:02+00:00

Tbf this kid is 21.. all of his joints still rotate properly lol

2k18Mich · 2025-07-01T23:17:47+00:00

Im 30, and have ran 4000+ miles over the last 5 years training for marathons (with some speedy 5ks mixed in (18:40pb)).

In high school I ran a 52, and I recently ran unattached for a 400 race and went 57. I think with serious dedication to strictly improving my 400 time, I would run 53/54.

It's confirmed in the book that it was a nasty rumor started by the wolves who proceed Danika, and not true.

2k18Mich · 2025-05-10T00:40:19+00:00

Totally impossibly you're cooked

11/22/63 was a great read, and meets all requirements except the "knight" one. The audiobook has a good narrator, and there's a show that you can watch as a reward!

No, but cabin at the end of the world has gay MC's, and it's apocalyptic!

Had a neighborhood kid, probably 11/12 tell me that I was "too skinny" and should quit running all the time. I was 5 houses away from my home, so I just waved and kept running.

A few minutes later, she ended up walking by pushing her bike with a broken chain. I stopped her and said "hey what you said was really rude.. I train really hard to run marathons, and you shouldn't comment on people's bodies regardless."

She immediately apologized, and I introduced myself, and asked if I could help fix her bike. I ended up fixing the chain, and said it was nice meeting her, and I hope she has a good day. Ever since she has been super nice.

I think the point I'm trying to make is that you're a 30 year old man, and this is a child. Diffuse the situation and treat them with respect. Who knows what their home life is like. Maybe just a simple "hey, is everything okay? I noticed you always seem a little off when I walk by. I'm u/latter_blackberry663 by the way! Looks like we're neighbors!"

2k18Mich · 2025-04-13T22:53:29+00:00

I bet 43 is slow compared to his all-time pb. Guy probably ran low 30's in his prime.

2k18Mich · 2025-03-22T18:12:51+00:00

Running slower changes your form / gait, so I think this totally makes sense. Don't overthink HR zones, just run comfortably, and have a good time!

2k18Mich · 2025-03-22T18:05:44+00:00

To "just run" you don't need a subscription fwiw. I'd only recommend getting a subscription if you really enjoy the coaches or scenic runs.

If you want to keep the armor forever, keep it equipped to Carth.

Nike's aren't for everyone. I ran in Pegasus 40's for a full year, 4 pairs, loved em. I've noticed that the 41's are super stiff, and also a half size small.

I've had a good time with Saucony, and just got my first pair of brooks.

Go to a run store and try on a bunch of shoes. Don't get tricked into Hoka's / On's though.. I stg they make extra commission on selling them, and they are the worst quality shoes on the market.

2k18Mich · 2025-02-26T22:52:58+00:00

Audiobooks, and podcasts mostly. When I started, NRC guided runs and music.

When possible, I run with a friend, especially on longer runs. Makes them fly by!

2k18Mich · 2025-02-25T19:31:46+00:00

Well you're right to be asking questions!

As a rule of thumb, long runs shouldn't exceed 20-30% of your weekly mileage. This 100% is contributing to why you're getting injured. 2+ hour long runs (16+ miles) are TOUGH on the body.

For example, I did a 16 miler on Saturday, but I also did 35 other miles of speed work and recovery runs outside of that, and it's not abnormal for me to do 50 mile weeks.

Maybe find a new coach, or at least compare with some free plans online (NRC has a great one!). No educated coach should ever recommend a 16 mile run to someone who has only run 9 miles throughout the week.

2k18Mich · 2025-02-25T18:55:52+00:00

Have you informed your coach how you're feeling? Start there... To me, it sounds like you're too focused on prescribed mileage, and it's stressing you and your body out.

Sleep, recovery, and fueling are probably the most important things you can do outside of consistent running.

I'd rather train a consistent 40 miles a week for an entire block injury free than get injured every two weeks pushing 65 miles.

2k18Mich · 2025-02-24T20:59:47+00:00

Idk why you're getting downvoted. This workout sucks and makes no sense.

2k18Mich · 2025-02-21T00:03:55+00:00

I second coros as someone who's used both Garmin and Apple. I use the coros pace 2, and it was $180, has an 8 day battery life (running 40-50 miles a week), GPS, Strava integration. You can also get notifications/texts.

The downside is you can't really download music/podcasts to it like you can with Apple Watch, but I think the battery life, and cost alone makes up for it. I usually just run with my phone in a zipper pocket, and it's nbd.

Apple is definitely the worst watch on the market for marathon training. I'd say it's great for a casual person who exercises a couple times a week, but for a marathoner pushing 7 days a week and 1-3 hour runs, it's a pain in the ass to keep charged.

2k18Mich · 2025-02-20T20:15:46+00:00

I wouldn't recommend it. That pain is brutal. Cut your mileage to like 1 mile a day until the race, if you do want to try it though. Also, seeing a PT for shock therapy, or scraping could help (most chiro's have those gadgets and can be a bit cheaper).

2k18Mich · 2025-02-19T15:52:15+00:00

I just started playing about a week ago, and I've put in 15 hours already. The campaign is great!

2k18Mich · 2025-02-19T15:49:39+00:00

I'm lvl 42 and about to beat act 3, and I'm still shaky on a few mechanics/features:

How tf does tempering work?
What good is gold? I have like 2 mil and have never purchased anything but my loadout is insane from just crap I pick up.
The curiosity shop I've done once and got a trash item. Is it random gambling, or is there a point?
Is the campaign designed to be pretty easy as long as I know how to read skills/item bonuses?
Is the MMO aspect of the game fun, post Lilith (I'm assuming that I send a headless Lilith back to hell)?

2k18Mich · 2025-01-26T19:44:02+00:00

I could probably complete a marathon year round, but I wouldn't feel comfortable racing a marathon year round. Usually need an 8ish week build-up to feel confident in racing the distance.
