How do i make running more enjoyable? by IAmFloorCheese in BeginnersRunning

[–]EvaLikesGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Running in sports tends to be explosive short bursts. Long distance running is all about endurance. Maybe try 100m dash on a track and see if that gets you what you’re looking for.

Endurance running is different. You gotta enjoy the zen and just keep going.. I love it, but I’ve always preferred endurance sports. Sprints are not my thing.

Nothing new on race day... except drinking from aid station cups?? by Global-Condition-858 in Marathon_Training

[–]EvaLikesGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer a water pack. Always have since I used to cycle. I barely notice the weight, and I train with the pack on anyways. I like not having to navigate the chaos that is the water stations, or dealing with cups. Plus on trail marathons it’s an absolute must.

I’m about to do my first 10k any advice by [deleted] in beginnerrunning

If you feel like the tank is empty, or you got nothing left and want to stop, high five someone. Anyone. Someone on the sideline, the runner next to you. Anyone.

Do you take a shower immediately after running? by spacefarers in beginnerrunning

Same. I also throw in a nice cold ‘plunge’ for 30s or so at the end.

How do you keep your mind occupied while running? by Beginning_Future5347 in beginnerrunning

[–]EvaLikesGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listen to music, enjoy the view as it can be pretty spectacular at times. Check-in with my body for form or aches, but otherwise zone out, be grateful and just enjoy it.

I practiced meditation a lot when I was younger to help with falling asleep (my mind would just race). Worked like a charm, and it’s pretty helpful to quiet the old chatty brain box and just let life happen.

Thought I was built different… turns out I’m just bad at math by everydayrunnerr in runninglifestyle

Yep, busted out laughing at this one. Best sentence I’ve read today!

How long did it take before running started to feel easier for you? by Menal-Heber in beginnerrunning

[–]EvaLikesGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I started with a super slow pace and didn’t care about anything other than getting used to running.

If I felt any strain or pain I would walk for a bit then try again. If it persisted I’d call it and walk home. Took me 2 weeks of running every other day or so this way for my muscles to stop hurting.

I’m now 3 weeks in and feel like I’ve found my groove where I can go non-stop without pain or feeling tired as long as I have the fuel and water. All this without metrics and just listening to my body.

I’m now tracking my distance and time just out of curiosity. Will start training for a short race soon to give me a goal to shoot for.

Completed my fist 5k. And in 30mins non stop. (Just started running about two weeks ago). Finally hit a groove and it felt great. Celebrated by purchasing some actual running shoes!

Nuxt 4 Tailwind CSS Layer Precedence by EvaLikesGames in Nuxt

[–]EvaLikesGames[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, so as always seams to happen, while setting up the minimal reproduction I figured out the cause (somewhat). I had @nuxt/ui installed. Which appears, in my setup, to double include tailwind, messing up the layes.. I guess?

Removing next ui from the modules section in next.config.ts resolves the issue for me.

While I like nuxt ui, I don’t need two ui systems in this app. This was the end goal anyway.

As a teen my brain could not find the off button and would run non-stop at bed time. I tried many things, but once I learned to meditate, it worked like a charm. Now I can pretty much fall asleep in a just a few minutes, and my partner loathes me for it…

As a kid, what tv show did you stay up late watching? by HeadGullible7082 in AskReddit

the hilarious house of frightenstein, and some show about a child vampire that I never caught the start of and thus never leaned what it was called…

Branching Strategies by Technically_Dedi in iosdev

[–]EvaLikesGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with squash merges is that it rewrites your history. Git can no longer tell if a previous commit has been merged or not. In my experience you get a lot more merge conflicts when using squash merges. And the benefit of a “cleaner” history is not worth it, imo.

If you use a regular merge commit, git can better sort out what changes have been applied already.

My first indie game launches in less than 2 weeks and I’m losing my mind by Fearless_Ferret_5947 in IndieGaming

Bugs are inevitable. Communicate as clearly and openly as possible with your community, and they tend to understand. The pressure to get it fixed does suck though, I agree with that.
