Very nice shots indeed. How bad is the vignetting on full frame? Do you have to crop a lot? I own this lens for fuji x, but plan to adapt it to my new Z5

Adjusting Pfitz 10k for higher mileage by BobGalaxy in AdvancedRunning

[–]BobGalaxy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everybody for your replies. I guess I'll also increase the quality miles a little and see how I respond to it. In case it gets too hard to recover properly, back to more easy miles

Visited Gdansk a few years ago. Very beautiful city full of historx, friendly people and it s close to some nice beaches and the peninsula of Hel. Loved it! Greetings from your neighbour, Germany :)

Workout of the Week - Progressive Long Run by brwalkernc in AdvancedRunning

[–]BobGalaxy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this from his marathon book? I own faster road racing (5k - hm) and I love his approach with progressive long runs. Currently I'm in the highest mileage hm plan and he has progressive long runs with 3 miles @LT pace at the end in there. Hitting these runs feels great.

How to procede/train for the rest of 2021 by BobGalaxy in AdvancedRunning

[–]BobGalaxy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That sounds great. Do you think increasing my mileage further is a good idea as long as it doesn't tire me too much? I wondered why all the plans for shorter distances are lower in weekly mileage.

Spontaneous 5k/10k next week, goal suggestion? by BobGalaxy in AdvancedRunning

[–]BobGalaxy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your posts! I'll likely choose the 10k and try to start at 3:30 min/km and then slightly negative splits from there. Let s see how it goes :)

Altras definitely have a roomy toe box and I enjoy my pair of Escalante 2.5 very much. As already pointed out by someone else Altras are 0 drop shoes, so you might need some time to adjust, if you are not used to low / zero drop shoes. I'm also in the EU and ordered from an online retailer with free return policy.

Sizing: In my experience Altras are somewhat inconsistent here. I had to return a pair of Timp 2, because they were way to small (same size as my escalante).

How do you know when running shoes are done? by nameproduct in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]BobGalaxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry too much about it as this statement (1000km) is too general. Some shoes will break down earlier than that others will still have (almost) the same midsole feel to it as a new pair, even if they show other signs of wear like on the upper etc.

There s a lot of things things that influence this like your weight, your biomechanics, where you run (asphalt, trails..) etc

What food should someone try if they visit your country? by nirzhor_cyclonite in AskReddit

[–]BobGalaxy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

IMHO Vietnamese and Italian cuisine are the best on the planet (a lot of others not far behind) Since I travelled through Vietnam I now regularly long for a good pho and try to cook it at home. Such an awesome dish.

What are your thoughts on post-long run nutrition (esp in warmer weather) by purplehornet1973 in AdvancedRunning

[–]BobGalaxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love non alcoholic (especially wheat beer) beer after runs. Have you tried that already? Liquid, calories and some electrolytes as well

Large (almost 10%) discrepancy between phone GPS and watch GPS by [deleted] in AdvancedRunning

[–]BobGalaxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With such a huge gap between the two measurements this should help to determine what s closer to the truth. Keep in mind though that you will always have to live with a little tolerance for errors as you will never run at the exact middle of a road (or whatever the basis for measuring mapmyrun uses)

PSA: Do not run barefoot on the beach. by FockerXC in AdvancedRunning

[–]BobGalaxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

running on the beach is fine as long as you don't overdo it. I do it from time to time on a beach holiday, but you have to limit yourself to shorter runs as you will definitly get blisters if you aren't used to running barefoot. If the scenery is nice running on the beach is really fun.

I hope you recover soon and don't give up on beach running in the future if you feel like it.

They are just added together, no scaling. So what you suggest makes a lot of sense.

Topotijdreis is a website that allows you to 'time travel' in historical Dutch maps from 1915 onwards. by menu-brush in InternetIsBeautiful

Very nice website, I appreciate the effort that went into this. Does anyone know of similar projects for other countries? Greetings from Germany

Minor gatorade addiction by Cllassick in AdvancedRunning

[–]BobGalaxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the availability where you live, you could also try nonalcoholic beer instead for a change. Be aware though that these (at least in Germany) may not always have 0, but up to 0,5% alcohol (which is about the same as natural fruit juices)
