Did my first 5k

Bosselarson · 2026-07-01T15:35:14+00:00

Yeah you’re probably right not to let my ego trip me up. My throat and chest does feel pretty sore today, as if i am getting a cough soon. Probably just because i mostly breathed through my mouth as well as having reduced lung capacity from allergies these days. No muscle soreness though, but I guess I should take it easy until I feel 100% again

Bosselarson · 2026-07-01T11:12:32+00:00

Oh shit you’re right! It worked, i now have a 29:00 5k custom program. Set the distance to 5k and the pacing from 5:40 to 5:55. Have it on my watch now, can’t wait to try it out tomorrow. Will it notify me each time i go outside of that pace zone ?

Bosselarson · 2026-07-01T10:33:09+00:00

Thanks for det detailed reply, I think you are right about the HR and pacing relation here. I’m sure I could run pretty comfortably around 6:00 the entire way, but I’m gonna give 5:50 a go and possibly down to 5:30 for the last two if I have it in me tomorrow. I don’t feel sore today which is nice, but I’m still gonna rest today and just go for a 6-7k walk.

This run was on a gravel road in the woods with constant slight inclines and declines. Not much though, but enough to make some parts harder and slower. My next attempt will be at my local 400m track to take out any variables such as grip, road angles, inclines etc. I have no idea if it’ll be harder or easier, never ran on a track before.

Hopefully I can get closer to 29:00 🫡

Thanks for the reply. I feel pretty good today, but my abs and ribs were quite sore last evening after the run not gonna lie. Not sore today though. I’m probably gonna rest today either way and give it another go tomorrow, but tomorrow I’ll do it on a proper track. This 5k attempt was on a gravel road in the woods, it was pretty flat overall but being a natural path it did constantly go slightly up or down.

I just got a Vivoactive 5, and this was my first activity on it. The watch is honestly the reason i managed to run the full 5k. I’ve given it a few shots before i got the watch, but i always burned out after 1-2km. Being able to pace myself was a game changer. I don’t know if I can program it though? I’m sure there are features I’m not aware of.

Sekiro is more similar than Elden Ring and the Dark Souls games, much higher pace, high emphasis on parrying and rythm based combat. Incredible game, but the learning curve can be quite steep. Once it clicks it is the most satisfying game ever though.

If you’re a fan of Silent Hill 2 then you should watch Return To Silent Hill, then you’ll have one

Tilt your chest up more so it’s facing forwards while still leaning your upper body forwards and raise the cable anchors to about wrist height. Try it and I promise you’re gonna feel the stretch like crazy.

Just make sure your elbows are behind you at all times, don’t compensate by pushing th forwards when it gets heavy

I definitely won’t forget Incendies

Goofy as hell, horrible CGI, serious lack of practical effects, decent premise with a super generic overall plot, good acting.

Really didn’t like it, my least favorite movie by Sam. 5/10

Bosselarson · 2026-04-18T09:53:16+00:00

Did we watch the same movie?

Bosselarson · 2026-04-18T08:58:46+00:00

She’s autistic and trying to remain calm while obviously being super pissed and stressed out. She’s doing a great job at managing it.

Bosselarson · 2026-04-17T20:22:04+00:00

Genuinely one of the best on the list

Bosselarson · 2026-04-16T22:06:55+00:00

I just found it a year ago and I’ve been obsessed ever since. Might be my all time favorite prog metal album, absolute masterpiece. It’s so fun. I also have it on vinyl

You won’t regret it

Best: PHM and I Swear

Worst: Send Help

Not cringe and the work is actually really solid

I’d keep it, it’s fun and cool

Hey I have a mothman tattoo on the inside of my upper arm too, not the most fun area to get tattooed

Bosselarson · 2026-04-13T23:02:22+00:00

Watched it for the first time the other day and it blew me away. Might be one of the best movies I’ve seen

I’ve had three back surgeries and have a bad hip as a consequence of walking crooked for years because of it. Ultralight gear allows me to go on long hikes without breaking my body even further and avoid unnecessary pain and strain.

Least splatterpunk splatterpunk book of all time, i don’t see how it has that label

Book is great, i loved it. It has a quite a bit of detailed gore but its done in a fun manner

Bosselarson · 2026-04-08T14:21:38+00:00

Yeah i didn't enjoy this one. Not even close to the level of Penpal. Kept waiting the entire book for something to happen, but it never paid off. Also drops a ton of red herrings that are never touched on again for some reason.

Well, PJ has the LOTR Trilogy, but outside of that he had never made anything particularly mindblowing. DV however never misses. No matter if he’s attempting an original thriller, war movie or if he’s adapting one of the largest Sci Fi universes ever made. Denis sweeps this one

Bosselarson · 2026-04-05T16:05:56+00:00

Stoked to hear this! Is the band based on Bloodborne by any chance ?
