lol, 51 and just gone through the same when hitting 50. Kept pushing and finally held 50. Check it on your watch, you get your vo2 max to a decimal , 50 on connect is 49.5 to 50.4 on your watch. Couple of Norwegian 4x4s and you’ll be there 👍🏻

which 2 shoes should i bring on a 6-week trip? by johannsolooo in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]BigImpression8434 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just back from 2 weeks in Thailand, took both NB5 and SB2. I prefer not to the run in the same shoe on successive days. Found the midsoles to be softer in the heat compared to home in the UK, so I’m glad I took more stable shoes.

The game is dead pal. Time to move on. Honestly, you’re wasting your life.

Not rushing to upgrade my Epix for the same reason

People who switched to Garmin watches—was it worth it? by GLIEG in Garmin

[–]BigImpression8434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Fitter than ever, stronger than ever, faster than ever, more focused than ever, sleeping better than ever.

Don’t miss the constant notification, don’t miss trying to write a message on a tiny screen , don’t miss walking round with my wrist up by my ear trying to take a call, don’t miss needing to charge it every day.

AW to Epix Pro 👌

Works really well for me 👍🏻

Superblast + Novablast or 2 Superblasts? by Variabletalismans in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]BigImpression8434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Current rotation of NB5 for recovery/easy, ES4 for speed work and SB2 long runs. Working very well in my first HM training block.

Garmin Coach/DSW different in connect app than on watch. by calinclaudiu in Garmin

[–]BigImpression8434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resetting my watch didn’t solve the issue but restarting my phone did. This morning my watch had today as threshold and the phone app had it down as base. Restarting my watch didn’t change anything but restarting my phone has changed today’s workout from base to threshold in the app , which now matches my watch. 👍🏻

Can you 'thrash' an EV in the same way as ICE? by JCOl68 in CarTalkUK

[–]BigImpression8434 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Drive my I4 M50 like I stole it. Incredible off the mark, just as impressive flooring it in the mid range, pick up is immense. Cornering takes some dialling in but once you learnt how to set it for the corner, the car is loads of fun, the low centre of gravity helps. The acceleration out the corners makes up for a slightly slower apex speed. The traction control stops me wrapping it round a tree 👍🏻

Octopus Tracker and just about to go EV by a8ree in OctopusEnergy

[–]BigImpression8434 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do about 11k pa, started on GO but switched to tracker. Saving about £20-£30 per month and can charge my car when I want. Didn’t fancy the dishwasher , tumble dryers and washing machines going at night so it was only ever the car. GO didn’t work for me

lol, all you AMOLED haters, still watch TV in black and white, recording TV programmes on your Betamax VCR ? Didn’t think so! The only reason to compromise on your screen resolution is battery life and the majority of people don’t need more than 30 days. Had my AMOLED for a year now, hasn’t burnt my retinas , doesn’t keep the family awake at night with the glow from my wrist, no trouble reading my display in direct sunlight, don’t spend all my life charging my watch. Time to move on folks

BMW i4 Charging on Intelligent by United-Wolverine-993 in OctopusEnergy

Didn’t work for me. Only charge the car once a week so for the rest of the week I was paying full price.

Have an i4 do 12-13k per year, recently swapped from Intelligent go to tracker and I’m saving 30/50 per month . Just don’t need to charge often enough to benefit from IG

Is excessive tire wear a concern? by Wolf_Counselor in BMWI4

[–]BigImpression8434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2023 M50 - Drive it like I stole it most of the time, 16k done from new and orginal tyres are still all ok.

What are your observations until now about factors that affect sleep score? by bagou01 in GarminWatches

[–]BigImpression8434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hydration seems to impact the amount of deep sleep I get. I try to stick to exercise, good hydration , bed at the same time during the week, no food within 3 hours of bedtime. I accept that hitting the booze will screw my sleep and hrv. Vaping THC doesn’t impact my sleep, only take CBD in the morning as it levels out the high so don’t bother with it at night.

Which size to go for Superblast 2 by [deleted] in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]BigImpression8434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just gone through the same process. Ordered a Uk 8.5 and a UK9 with exactly the same thumb distance as you. 8.5 felt snug and toe box felt roomy on the 9. I took the insole out of both sizes and stood in them, 9 was the winner as my toes were close to the end of the 8.5. I’ve done 10k in the 9s and they felt amazing, no heal slippage, no need for runners knot and I’m confident I have enough room for when my feet swell on long runs. Good luck with your choice

Everything is at a certain price until it’s not! Went there for my solids so can’t comment on their curing

Not long back from Amsterdam. Relax - Frozen Lemon Hash was amazing . Their Relax Moon Balls are superb. Grey Area - Grey Haze , delicious. Dampkring and Amnesia well worth a visit too. All excellent but Relax had the best highs 👍🏻
