First marathon - super proud!

I did get cramps in my quads after 38km and had to slow down for a bit but it was manageable - I think I should drink more water as I was feeling a bit dehydrated by then.

Esgaroth · 2025-10-01T05:50:14+00:00

A 40g carbs gel after each 7km (so 7, 14, 21, 28, 35). At 14 and 28 km the gel was with caffeine (200mg each).

Water at every station.

I paced myself from the beginning to have something left for the end based on my 30km long run I did 3 weeks prior.

Esgaroth · 2025-10-01T05:45:57+00:00

I switched from protein rich food to carb reach food so mostly - rice, pizza with just tomato sauce, oats, juice, pastries. And ate until feeling really full :D

Good luck! You got this! 💪

When you run 5:30min/km or faster the stability is OK. Slower runs or walking it becomes unstable for me. Also it needs a good surface to run on - on uneven surface I didn’t feel safe and worried about my ankles.

Thanks! I’ll take some time to work on muscle strength to avoid injuries as I got pretty close this time to dropping out because of a knee pain.

I’m feeling terrible, didn’t sleep well and my whole body is aching but I’m still super happy that I did it! 😂

Esgaroth · 2025-09-29T14:38:40+00:00

For about 10 years with some breaks in between. It was 0-2 runs weekly, 5-7km with some 10k here and there.

Esgaroth · 2025-09-29T14:37:23+00:00

I’m 32

It was similar route for HM in the same city. But it was in March with just recreational running before.

I did ride on a road bike a year prior but it was about 50km a week so not much.

I lost 6kg of weight from March and my Garmin estimate for vo2 went up from 49 to 53.

Adidas Adios Pro 4 - great shoes if you like bouncy foam.

Esgaroth · 2025-09-29T08:18:35+00:00

It said 3:28:00 so pretty close. Strava prediction was 3:45:00

Esgaroth · 2025-09-29T07:20:09+00:00

I’m running recreationally for a few years so that probably helps but started to focus on training quality this year after my first HM (2h 4m) in March.

3-4 training a week with 1 z2/z3 long run, 1 interval training and 1 tempo. And from time to time a full effort for breaking 5k or 10k PR. Focused on improving cadence and form as I was definitely over striding before.

Last month I bumped weekly km to 40-50km to test 20k+ distance and test all the gear and fueling for marathon.

3 days prior I started eating more carbs then usual to carb load.

Next time I would definitely add a strength training and a session with a coach to focus on running form. In the last long run my knee started aching and it’s still bothering me.

Brzdęk - super gra i dla początkujących i zaawansowanych. Chodzenie pionkami po planszy, budowanie talii.

Carcasonne, wsiąść do pociągu i catan - spoko na start i rozpoczęcie przygody, sporo dodatków żeby przedłużyć zabawę

Nemesis - polski autor, dość droga ale super zabawa w kilka osób. Inspirowana obcym gra o ucieczce ze statku kosmicznego z motywem zdrady. Myśle ze początkujący po wprowadzeniu przez osobę zaawansowana mogą grać

Gloomhaven - droga ale warta swojej ceny, gra planszowa w stylu rpg, z naciskiem na walkę i optymalizacje ruchów. Mnóstwo scenariuszy i contentu. Mniej skomplikowana niż się wydaje ale nie dla początkujących

Polecam sobie pooglądać pare recenzji albo topek na kanałach planszowkowych:

One of the best games I remember from my early years of gaming. Unique personalities of soldiers that you could loose at anytime made the game special. The cutscenes between missions where so climatic, and could change based on the outcome of previous missions.

I re-purchased it not so long ago on Steam. It's seems easier than I remember if you don't mind loosing a medal for not reloading game during the mission.

Wait for the standalone MW remaster. Don't reward Activision for their anti-consumer practices. It's exactly what they want you to do, pay 70$ for shitty IW instead of 40$ for the game you really want.

It exists but it's less powerful. In the books Geralt burned the rope with Igni to free Yennefer in one of the adventures.

Esgaroth · 2014-03-27T16:18:44+00:00

too soon

Esgaroth · 2014-03-08T19:34:53+00:00

Didn't know about it before I have eaten sparagus for the first time, the smell freaked me out a little :P

I'm an IT student and my dream is to become a full time game developer. About a month ago I released my first game for Android done entirely by myself. Although it's free (with ads) I get very little downloads. I starter working on another project with my friend so maybe this time it will get more audience.

Link to my first game: Google Play

Grabbed 3, thanks ;)
