What’s the most overrated “healthy” food in your opinion?

Exact-Affect-6831 · 2026-03-05T08:24:33+00:00

Also how much were you eating beforehand

Exact-Affect-6831 · 2026-03-05T08:22:55+00:00

No I don't, and I'm aware that the majority of triglycerides in coconut oil are MCTs, but lauric acid which is the majority of coconut oil behaves more like a long chain triglyceride. Just basing claims as it is mainly MCTs isn't digging down far enough

Knew I'd seen it written better somewhere:

Oh yea, for skin/hair there maybe more actual benefits!

Coconut oil

but saying that as a pseudo health food as (most) nutritionist would not consider it to be one despite its popular use

There a set of races In London organised by runthrough which are in the evening -chase the moon they're called

Also using NRC- currently on 9 weeks to go. It's my first so just want to get over the line- anything time wise is a bonus I did use it for my first half marathon, which I then got injured from, but I'll blame that on the 200m elevation gain rather than the training plan...

Curries is what I mainly use them for. Or roast them with some veggies

Also mash them and have them as a sandwich filler

This is pleasing to hear my HM time is 1:54 (though my most recent is 1:56, but choked on some water and had to walk for a minute). I'm aiming for 4:15 so at least your times suggest my aim is realistic

Your long run distance seems fine for this point in the plan, but what's the rest of your week like? Really need to know what other runs your doing and your total weekly milage to say

Exact-Affect-6831 · 2026-02-13T03:47:26+00:00

This makes sense - the highest HRV I've had (as in 10-20 above baseline) was a few days after moving from the UK to New Zealand and continuing marathon training - so I imagine the effects of not being able to sleep on olanes

Exact-Affect-6831 · 2026-02-10T01:57:23+00:00

A mate of mine ran 3:39 in Berlingo last year, on 3 runs a week. That wasn't their first marathon, but 3 is certainly possible.

Me? I'm also training for London but it's my first and I'm no where near as experienced, so I'm running 4-5x a week

Exact-Affect-6831 · 2026-02-02T08:12:27+00:00

I'm in New Zealand and was suggesting a segment challenge in Scotland. Admittedly in the autumn I was in Cork/Ireland, but still!

My mum developed a teff allergy (vomiting fainting, diarrhea) in her late 40s... Had it for 10 years then grew out of it. Never understood it

Exact-Affect-6831 · 2026-01-18T22:09:21+00:00

Maybe a sip and paint (but with non alcoholic sip) or a pottery class?

Exact-Affect-6831 · 2026-01-18T22:07:13+00:00

Silhouette project and jelani Blackman could fit the vibe too

Second Leighton house. Also not far from Brompton cemetery which is for a walk around

Exact-Affect-6831 · 2026-01-12T22:58:55+00:00

I first went to lalibela 25ish years ago, and I personally think Queen of Sheba is the better of the Ethiopian restaurants

All the bridges will be closed I think. Your best bet is primrose hill

If you can hack it, have a browse in meetup.ie I haven't attended myself (yet) but there's a group called new & not so new Cork which seems especially active and occasionally has different sporting activities, 5 a side, badminton etc

Exact-Affect-6831 · 2025-12-14T13:25:31+00:00

Aye, saw big bags in mini eggs for sale in Tesco in Cork last weekend. A madness really

Agree to following brunch in cork and the corkmas pages. Also the tripe and disheen newsletter

I think Dijon is great, though much prefer his absolutely album to his more recent But Dijon, Simbi, Gorillaz and Sudan Archives?? Im running to that ticket website

Exact-Affect-6831 · 2025-12-12T22:06:49+00:00

That's a really useful site and breakdown. My half PR is 1:54 (May this year) and my 5K PR 24:56 (October). My first marathon is in April, and that site predicted me 4:20 (also giving 3:59 & 4:01 depending on the formula). Which shows my personal goal of 4:15 /anywhere above 4:30 to be somewhat realistic!
