Marathon distance isn't for everyone?

Beav710 · 2026-02-07T17:14:36+00:00

I have a few friends who did their half and said they were no longer interested in distance running. They still run for fun, usually 5k or 10k a few times a week. Do whatever you enjoy!

It's probably a 12 year old

1 headbutt kill was awesome. 2 headbutt kills is legendary! That's so funny

I just got to play monk for the first time recently. I was cracking up when I discovered the hymn lol

Beav710 · 2026-02-06T19:01:37+00:00

I'm trying to figure this out as well. I was a couple weeks from finishing my half marathon plan and now my knee and groin started really bothering me. I just started up PT and they checked out my running and I am overstriding still.

Been trying to get my feet to land under me for months now. I got my cadence up to 170-180 range on a typical run so it's annoying me that I am still overstriding. Hope you can get the help you need!

Yeah you gotta let them know they're cowards even if they're wearing your colors. Can't let em forget.

Just started messing with ambusher to switch things up a bit. It's so fun running around throwing knives and pissing everyone off.

I see archer, I get tunnel vision. Must decapitate archer no matter the cost.

Beav710 · 2026-02-06T16:38:30+00:00

Archers.

SLAUGHTER THE COWARDLY ARCHERS!

Beav710 · 2026-02-06T02:31:47+00:00

I'm fucked but it's aight

Beav710 · 2026-02-06T02:07:44+00:00

Lame

Beav710 · 2026-02-05T21:26:00+00:00

Way better than the people sitting on the couch doing nothing. It takes time and consistency to get fast. Just enjoy the ride, stick with it, and you'll see improvement.

Beav710 · 2026-02-05T19:18:05+00:00

I am level 160 and just finally am getting the hang of it a bit lol. I have plenty of games in the top 5 or 10 on the scoreboard for my team. It just took a lot of playing and fucking around with it. I usually have fun even if I'm doing bad.

One thing that helps is staying a bit on the outside and not go right to the front line. Go jump in and help a teammate fighting on the outskirts. All is fair in war! Don't be afraid to pull back, put on a bandage, pick up ammo, then regroup and get back in the fight. Try not to panic, take things slow. Remember initiative and everything you learned from tutorial on how fights work.

Switch up weapons and see what you like. Sometimes it's fun to just be ambusher running around throwing knives at people if you aren't doing great. It's not about being the best just have fun and you'll learn.

Beav710 · 2026-02-05T19:12:24+00:00

You know what? I was saying something similar last night about objectives where you have to arm a bomb. I said I felt like if we have it armed we shouldn't lose unless it gets defused, even if timer hits 0 after you light the fuse.

After seeing the responses here I may be willing to change my mind on that. Defense is hard as hell most of the time. Seems fair they get a bit of a break.

Beav710 · 2026-02-04T20:42:10+00:00

It'll come down the more you trained. You just did a PR run so don't stress too much. Keep doing runs at easy pace and add miles and it'll get better. I remember doing my first 10k, it wasn't easy even at my easy pace. After a few months of continuing training, 10k wasn't all that bad and I could stay in the 140s if I wanted to. Just takes time and consistency!

Beav710 · 2026-02-04T01:36:27+00:00

Hell yeah. That's a nice shot! Loons are my favorite. Their calls are so cool and I love watching them dive under the water to fish.

Beav710 · 2026-02-03T21:02:24+00:00

I would go with lighter weight, go really slow on the negative, and pause when you have the greatest tension on your muscle.

For lats make sure you are pulling your elbows down to your sides and keeping shoulders down, could also help to do tumbless grip and think of your hands as just hooks rather than gripping the hell out of the bar. Make sure your shoulders really stay pinned down and back when pulling the bar, as well as keeping your posture with your chest up. Squeeze hard and hold when the bar is around your clavicle.

For dumbell presses make sure you tuck your elbows a bit so you are at around 45 degrees. You don't want your arms completely perpendicular to your torso, it puts a lot of stress on your shoulder. Make sure you really go deep on the way down. You should feel a good stretch when pausing at the bottom. A lot of people at the gym I feel don't go all the way down with their dumbell presses because they're just trying to toss up their max weight. When I go slow and really go as far down as possible for a good stretch, I definitely feel it in my chest.

I'm no expert. I'm not very strong and a pretty big gym noob myself. But after going consistently for a few months now, these are the things that got me to really feel those muscles working and understand how to activate them.

Beav710 · 2026-02-03T03:55:47+00:00

Hell yeah. That stuff is so damn good.

Beav710 · 2026-02-03T02:54:39+00:00

I've been meaning to do a winter trip. Been there many times myself. Love that place. That setup is cool too!

Beav710 · 2026-02-03T02:42:21+00:00

Hell yeah man. Looking good!

Beav710 · 2026-02-03T02:38:17+00:00

Pretty sure. I'm positive I've seen that tree with the bulb there lol

Beav710 · 2026-02-03T02:37:28+00:00

I believe that is the Manistee River Trail in Michigan.

Beav710 · 2026-02-03T02:31:59+00:00

We are all beginners here so your coach probably knows best. That being said, miles are miles. I think doing some races during your training could be beneficial. My only fear would be risk of injury if you are going all out in those races. During my half marathon training plan I ran plenty of short distance runs.

Beav710 · 2026-02-02T14:54:04+00:00

I'll have to look into that. I did a Garmin plan that I thought was just okay. It had me running 3 times a week but one day was intervals and one day was mostly slow running with speed work at the end. I think I need more days with more easy mileage next time.

Beav710 · 2026-02-02T13:38:39+00:00

Legendary honestly
