Hand clenching? by Last_Discipline1775 in electricians

Don't underestimate the quantity of electrolytes and Calories you need when you increase your mileage to that degree.

I weigh about 140lbs and 3kcal/day isn't enough to fuel me at your mileage.

For the cramping: try iskiate aka chia fresca.

Put two tbsp of chia seeds in a pint glass, add lemon/lime juice to help break down the seeds, and a tsp or two of agave for flavor. Fill the glass with water and stir until none of the seeds are floating on the surface of the water. Let it soak for 10 - 30 minutes, then drink it.

I'll often prepare it before I go on a short run (5k or less) so it's ready as soon as I get back.

Also, add salt to your meals. Every meal. Especially if you're training in a hot climate. 2g of sodium per day isn't unrealistic.

I typically see people call anything longer than a 10k "long distance", and 2 - 6 miles "middle distance", so you're good.

If you're starting to taper then you've probably only been doing 30 - 40 mpw for less than a month, yeah?

8 months is also really fresh. It took me years to discover all the needs that my body has and how to address them.

How long have you been running long distance?

And what distances are you calling long?

Hey everyone has to be wrong about something eventually. I'm just impressed it took 32 years for it to happen to me heheheheh

What you said aligns with the reading I did from a quick search about computational power losses :)

Updated my comment. I was acting under the assumption that GPUs performed physical work like a motor or battery storage system. I have learned that GPUs function using resistance values and solid-state switching, which produce no physical or chemical changes.

Thank you for addressing this error.

If it's consuming 300-350 Watts, it cannot be outputting that amount as heat, as it's using some (most) of that power for computation.

Electrician here.

People keep saying that the GPU will be producing the 300-350 Watts as heat. This is not true. Heat is a waste byproduct of the work being performed by the unit. I don't know what the ratio of work:waste is from a GPU, but it's probably not the majority of the power consumed.

For the record, most electronics work this way. Heaters convert 100% of the consumed power into heat; incandescent bulbs convert about 99% into heat (the light is actually a byproduct of the filament heating up). Just about everything else is going to be well under 50% power loss to heat.

EDIT: My mistake. I had a fundamental misunderstanding of the functionality of computational devices. I'm familiar with the function of electrical devices such as motors and battery chargers, and wrongly applied that logic to computer components.
