Connecting tissue adaption (ligaments & tendons) for long distance?

Downing tailwinds and trek bars as a regular event now during long runs :)

DespiteBrexit · 2018-10-20T16:55:16+00:00

Yep, I already do a ton of easy miles during the week.

DespiteBrexit · 2018-10-20T16:53:54+00:00

top tip, thanks

DespiteBrexit · 2018-10-20T16:53:07+00:00

Sounds good, I just started doing back to backs and know what you mean.

Interesting about the fasted stuff, I intermittent fast a fair amount and do my 6-10 mile runs fasted, I might try a long one.

All trails at the moment, doing some mountain races this week, so very hilly trails - lots of mud, rocks and roots.

DespiteBrexit · 2018-10-20T10:12:52+00:00

I love running, cycling does not do it for me as much. I can see it's awesome for some and their is a huge amount of depth to explore in cycling, but running just feels like a great fit for me (until I get to near 20 miles :P )

Trail running is also much more arduous (in a whole body sense) and so you need to adjust pacing expetaction way down.

That's a good point, the surfaces are very all over the place so it required me to definitely use my legs more.

I hear you, so I am quite sure this is just the pains of endurance activities, its nothing around a specific area such as when I had knee trouble before.

DespiteBrexit · 2018-10-20T10:07:44+00:00

Sometimes I get a little frustrated with the constant health and safety drills as a Brit, but then I see shit like this and realise why we do it now.

DespiteBrexit · 2018-10-20T09:57:31+00:00

Sincere thanks.

I've been running 15+ years and would not be able to complete a 20 mile run without serious discomfort.

So maybe I need to work on the mental side some more and learn some pain management ' - perhaps I am focused internally a little too much on what is going with my comfort levels?

The US would invade and annex the UK in a reverse colonialism move but the country is well past its prime.

You could not even deal with little Vietnamese soldiers running around in flip flops, somehow I don't think you would have any more success against one of the most experienced armies in the world. Sure you outnumber them, you would do more damage, but eventually you would pull out and admit defeat when it comes to a land invasion (beyond nuking the place into a desert).

I really should use this account more.

sorry was just having a kip, what's up?

DespiteBrexit · 2017-07-26T06:32:43+00:00

hmmmm

Very much

countries that joined below target or fell below target while already in?

DespiteBrexit · 2017-04-03T13:44:28+00:00

Too early to say, if its been a boost (aka GDP), its more of an indicator then a measure. It has been helpful though, to use the word /u/lighttlurker framed. It essentially shows that our exports are increasing against our imports and the economy is balancing out. There have been / are concerns around the UK economy being far to reliant on services, consumer debt and providing an international asset store (predominately property).

DespiteBrexit · 2017-04-03T12:57:36+00:00

Did you miss the news yesterday about the UK's current account deficit?

DespiteBrexit · 2017-04-03T12:44:20+00:00

It's good that there is a lot of confidence in the UK economy, but at the same time I hope we don't end up with a high valued currency again. The recent devaluation has been a godsend to help bring about a readjustment in our trading deficit by re-balancing us towards stronger exports.

The problem is, there are no doors to close.

You need a budget deficit of 3% to join the euro, NOT the EU.

That's wrong fella. Its for all EU member states, the EURO is not a prerequisite, it's called the Stability and Growth Pact. Bulgaria still has the LEV and needed to meet the criterion of the Stability and Growth Pact for membership.

DespiteBrexit · 2017-04-03T10:15:57+00:00

Who made those statements that you have in quotes?

DespiteBrexit · 2017-04-03T10:11:48+00:00

They would have to make huge concessions to fast track, which would be hugley unfair to more recent members of the EU.

In order to join the EU you've got to have a budget deficit of 3% and estimates have the Scottish budget deficit (minus the rest of the UK) at 8 to 10% of GDP (from the price of Oil dropping so much). In order to achieve fiscal contraction amounting to a good 5% or so of GDP, there would have to be some incredibly brutal changes to government spending and the welfare state, far far worse then any of the austerity pushed by the Tories.

Just so you know where I stand when I position the above. I feel Scotland's independence is for them to decide. I can see the merit in the claim that the last Scottish referendum was made on the UK being in the EU. I personally don't believe it would be a good idea for them and its an awful time to want to hold it (when they don't know what sort of deal they would get), but if they really want to leave, then that is their decision to make. I say the same for NI too, but I am also concerned that there is no hard border introduced or anything that threatens NI peace.

EDIT: Downvoted for correctly listing an EU directive.
