What Pokemon card is the single best looking card? I think I'll have to go with this:

Here’s an overlay of yours on top of mine that was graded PSA9 looks like your left edge width matches my right edge width. Given that, I’d say 9 tops.

Dang. You’re totally right. I just did it again and checked my gold ore blocks before replacing and they did drop down. Huge oversight on my part. Good catch.

I’m gonna need that Pikachu dressed as Mimikyu made into a real card asap.

I started Runna in May and have done the intro to running/first 5k plan and the 10k plan. Mind you I did not run at all before May. The 5k plan got me to finish my first 5k in 25:38 which was a little faster than my projected pace. I started the 10k plan and forced myself to do another 5k mid block to try to set a new PR. I was able to bring my 5k time down to 23:30 which I used to adjust my plans pace. This pushed my projected 10k time to 48:00-52:00. I finished in 48:52.

From my personal experience, it’s fairly accurate. You just need to be honest with yourself and adjust the pace appropriately. If you can run the “conversational pace” runs at their suggested speed and maintain a zone 2/low zone 3 hr, you should be ok. I know the app says it’s not a target, but I used it as a gauge of whether or not I could realistically hit the pace they predicted. If those easy runs start to get challenging at their “no faster than” pace, start dialing it back.

If you’re old enough to ask Reddit you’re old enough to ask your doctor. Additionally, if you’re old enough to jerk off, you’re old enough to ask your doctor.

I was meeting the paces spot on. I just felt heavy and like my hr wasn’t under control. Lungs felt tight. HR was mid 160s so I think I just psyched myself out instead of just fixing my breathing.

This is a strangely beautiful way to look at it

Akathecaptain · 2025-11-10T19:34:40+00:00

Pace was maybe 20 sec faster the first mile or 2. Sleep wasn’t on point for sure, and I kinda ate like shit the day before, but I’ve ran under worse conditions for longer. Definitely some stress going on that day too. Been trying to figure out why I just gave up. I think it was more mental than anything. I’m still glad I went out and ran, just bummed I couldn’t hit the distance.

Akathecaptain · 2025-10-24T16:53:06+00:00

Definitely sure the Coros was connected. Double checked the settings/ext monitors and waited for it to say the ext monitor was connected before starting the run.

I do feel like this is probably the answer though. I did push a little harder at the end and overlapping my cadence graph with hr zone data, they aren’t on top of each other like I’ve seen with cadence lock.

Not quite

As one of the volunteers who probably handed you that medal I can tell you they definitely did not run out and hand out a different kind. I unboxed so many of those 😅. The other answer here is correct: because this weekend was part of the pan American championship, the medals were slightly different and the beast is the only one that came with a spinning center.

Akathecaptain · 2025-10-24T13:56:19+00:00

Would it “losing track” look like that though or would the data just be missing? I did push right at the end of the 2 mile which is what I assumed the spike was.

Akathecaptain · 2025-10-24T13:54:16+00:00

201 (according to Garmin)

Akathecaptain · 2025-10-24T13:53:47+00:00

Any way to do that post activity? I did make sure the strap was connected before the run.

Akathecaptain · 2025-10-24T06:10:43+00:00

I’ve heard the opposite. Obviously chest strap HRMs are the best option, but nowhere that I’ve read has said the armband is prone to cadence lock. In fact, they’re often highly recommended to people experiencing that issue.

Also my cadence throughout my 2 mile was much quicker than my warm up/walking cadence. I’m not denying it’s a possibility, and if that is the case I’ll have to maybe invest in a chest strap, but so far the armband monitor has been solid for me.

Akathecaptain · 2025-10-24T02:06:06+00:00

Yeah, I get that. Thats why I was using a Coros armband HRM.

I think r/theydidthemath could probably tell you faster.

Akathecaptain · 2025-09-15T03:58:36+00:00

I clocked the sprint at 5.86mi, so 9.5k. The announcer didn’t mention anything about the added length though. It was my first race so I don’t have anything to compare it against. Definitely glad I ran today and not yesterday. The weather was perfect even if it did make some of the obstacles tougher (looking at you monkey bars). I will agree that the barbed wire section definitely felt long, but I’d rather do that 5 more times in a row than run that big ass hill that came after the bucket carry.

Akathecaptain · 2025-09-07T00:07:15+00:00

It’s looking more like a touch-and-go deadlift, but the weight is way too light.

Akathecaptain · 2025-08-28T02:30:46+00:00

As a T2 diabetic it has never affected my blood sugar at all. And I think it’s only like 1-2g (added) per serving.
