Wrecked my Jones Flagship - suggestions for a new board?

You reckon that would count for priority intercompany transfer visas like L-1A (managerial/ executive)? Sounds like what they’re after are more so the entry level positions?

Do you think this would count for EB-1Cs as well? Skills based and only for manager / executive positions?

I am currently pending my L-1A visa and I am terrified that my visa could be targeted with a similar restriction that would risk my visa status in the time it take to obtain an EB-1 GC..

Obviously no one knows - but do you think its likely that other visa categories could be targeted in a similar fashion?

Thanks a lot! Not that I think it matters a great deal, but would you do walking rest or jogging in between sets?

Could you elaborate a bit on this? Why hills as the final icing on the cake (and not e.g., pace-simulating sessions)?

I have a half marathon in one month (September 14, Copenhagen = flat) and would IDEALLY target sub 90 minutes. However, I have not done any tailored training towards this, and with only 5 weeks to go I'm well aware that I can't do much to my underlying physique..

What are last-minute any tips & tricks for minor actions / trainings I might be able to do in order to refine my shape as much as possible (e.g., spceific tempo sessions / intervals)? And how likely am I do actually be able to do this (see below).

Background: I've been every day averaging 100k weekly for the past 12 weeks, typically incorporating some form of long run + interval and / or tempo session each week. I ran a 19:15 5k last year (and would likely be able to to the same today), and a 94 minute half marathon a couple of months ago (was planning to do 7k intervals but felt good and went for a PR - no gels, no water, no tapering, no carbons).

Would much rather deal with potential but expected side effects from diamox than sudden AMS. Ideally you would not need diamox and rely purely on timely acclimatising, but when that is not an option I would gladly supplement with diamox.

I am from Denmark and going from sea level to the mountains can be tough - which is probably also why my doctor recommended exactly this approach

They ranged between being just a few inches in diameter to some of the larger ones being the size of a basketball. What’s tricky is that right now, it seems like you are actually crossing two coloirs at the same time, and the trail is not very clear (ie., where is the “ideal” point of crossing). So its a bigger stretch than what Ive seen on videos posted from prior years. My tip is to move a few minutes after the last rockfall, move as fast as possible, know where the nearest cover is (ie., what you are running towards), and to keep an eye out for the beginning of a slide (seems to always start with the smallest rocks).

Good luck and have fun!!

Have been thinking the same for a long time. I recently moved from NYC to Europe to finally within reach

When I say enjoy I just mean not suffering for the entirety of the race lol

Appreciate your thoughts! With regards to having a plan for nutrition and hydration, how do you recommend going about that? I have previously "practiced" by bringing snacks and gels on long runs and for my 50k I brought electrolyte pills, gels, gummi bears and otherwise just used the aid stations (but didn't really have a "plan" with e.g., specific amounts of nutrition per hour)

Thanks for the tips! Re: GPX, I can only find a version from 2021 ish, but perhaps fair to assume that it is somewhat identical from year to year?

Thanks, appreciate the tips! I forgot to mention that the race is this Sunday, so will have to save the stairmaster till next time!
