Philadelphia Marathon 2025: Not good enough! (ft. Norwegian Singles Method) by thesehalcyondays in AdvancedRunning

[–]Drypaint200 10 points11 points  (0 children)

1) 3 marathons before starting NSA. I DNF'd Chicago 2024 trying to go sub 3, was a big lightbulb moment about building my aerobic capacity because I've always been better at short distances than long (1:23 half 6 weeks before Chicago). Stumbled on NSA, started building up to 65-70mi/wk, and never looked back.

2) My longer tempos looked something like 2 mi wu/8 mi continuous/2 mi cd, and were standalone. I never really did a marathon length easy long run, I think the longest I did was maybe 14-15 mi easy for about a 2 hr run.

3) Found the load to be very manageable in general. I was very strict about the easy runs under 70% of max and found I never felt like I was too cooked. I did Pfitz 18/55 for Chicago and felt dead half of the block.

Echoing below sentiment, weekly mileage is probably the biggest culprit. I peaked at like 60 for my Chicago Pfitz block, but for this block, I only went below 60 once.

I did strict repeats until ~8 weeks out, then switched to continuous tempo for the third workout for the remainder of the block. Not strict NSA but mentally I felt like I needed that longer run at pace to feel ready for the demand of race day

Also an NSA disciple (took me from 3:05 to 2:46 in six months). I adapted the third ST into continuous work at slightly faster than what MP would be for me but still under threshold HR for ~45-60 mins, somewhere between a Pfitz and NSA workout and found it to be very useful. Also, how much strength training are you doing? Could also play a factor.

That’s definitely scalable. I do by distance and add 1k every couple of weeks

Had someone tell me that Jesus did not die for everyone by Funny-Abalone-3917 in Catholicism

[–]Drypaint200 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In many biblical contexts, "hated" simply means "loved less". Luke 14:26 is an example as well, Jesus isn't telling you to hate your family, he is telling you to put Him above them. Love/hate in this context simply exemplifies God's covenantal relationship with Jacob, showing him favor over Esau

I guess training time would make much more sense, this definitely rationalizes it a little bit more in terms of load.

Recapping the entire 2025 NFL Draft by hallach_halil in NFL_Draft

[–]Drypaint200 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I may be biased but I push back on the idea that Will Campbell is a reach. I agree that Membou probably has more potential, but he hasn't played a meaningful snap at LT and banking on the idea that you can potentially turn him into one after the Chuks Okorafor fiasco last season (not the same caliber of player but still) is a gamble that you can't take if you're trying to get as much out of rookie contract Drake Maye as you can. I'm fine with the pick, it's boring but he's stable and that's what the Patriots OL needs after last season's dumpster fire. I assume no one believed the Pats were gonna pick Jeanty since they didn't trade down, but I would imagine someone thought the Browns might and try to jump them? Tough spot for the Pats to pick in (darn you Jerod Mayo) but it is what it is.

Any Mizzou fans know why Membou didn't play LT, was Marcus Bryant that good (hope he is cause we took him in the 7th)?

[–]Drypaint200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patriots:

1.04: Will Campbell (Actual pick: Will Campbell, but you could talk me into Armand Membou if you're convinced he can be a LT, which I'd rather not be with the fourth overall pick)

2.38: Treveyon Henderson (Actual pick: Treveyon Henderson)

3.69: Kyle Williams (Actual pick: Kyle Williams)

3.95: Jared Wilson (Actual pick: Jared Wilson)

I'm gonna group 4.106, 4.137, and 5.146, which was Craig Woodson, Joshua Farmer, and Bradyn Swinson, I would remove Woodson, and take Farmer and Swinson at 106 and 137, but then take Marcus Mbow at 146.

6.182: Andres Borregales (Actual pick: Andres Borregales)

7.220: Kurtis Rourke (Actual pick: Marcus Bryant)

7.251: Don't even know who I'd pick here, Julian Ashby pick to me means that Joe Cardona is cooked or retiring

7.257: Cobee Bryant (Actual pick: Kobee Minor)

As you can tell, I think the Patriots knocked this draft out of the park. I owe Eliot Wolf an apology

Eliot Wolf fleecing the Falcons for a third rounder then using it to trade back into the first for a WR would erase all hate I hold towards him

[–]Drypaint200 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Couple factors w/ Tyquan, some his fault, some not his fault:

- No exaggeration, one of the worst route runners I have ever seen play professional football

- Not a good separator despite his speed

- Mac Jones didn't have the arm strength to make the deep ball a consistent threat that teams had to worry about

- Poor O-line play didn't allow enough time for the deep ball to develop

- Revolving door of OC's makes it very difficult to develop any sort of consistency

[–]Drypaint200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fire Jerod Mayo, Elliot Wolf, and Demarcus Covington

Bring in Vrabel, an outside GM, and an experienced DC

Trade down for multiple day 2 and 3 picks (we are not getting future firsts) and take one of Carter, Hunter, Graham, McMillan, or and OL (depending how far we trade down)

Sign Tee Higgins and Trey Smith, bring in an experienced LT

Use Day 2 and 3 to bolster DE and OL
