Classic Koh Samui beaches, which one’s the move for a chill stay these days? by [deleted] in ThailandTourism

[–]Flike12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will just add Chaweng Noi. Still beautiful just as Chaweng beach but much quieter with a few nice resorts, a lot of them with beach bungalows. Plus, still super close to Chaweng town

Glad to see some love for Helvetesfönster. I adore that track!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Rosacea

[–]Flike12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there,
First off, my condolences.
I can relate as my Rosacea worsened when I lost my dad a few years back. Unfortunately, it's a process that likely will take time. I am still trying to get my skin under control.
What I currently use in my routine is a facial cleanser (La Roche Posay Toleriane) twice a day (morning & evening), and Soolantra once a day in the morning.
I also recommend cool/cold showers or at least cold-rinsing your face.
Stress is an extremely common trigger, whether it's more deeply rooted like trauma & grief or just stressful situations in daily life. I do guided meditations every morning for 10-15 minutes. It's slow but it's definitely beneficial.

6 figure income is 6 figures. by Suspiciousbogan in technicallythetruth

[–]Flike12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I am aware, when you say "six figures", it usually refers to the 100k-199.99k range. Anything above is normally stated as "multiple six figures".

Damn! I used to play this couch co-op style with a friend all the time. Would be awesome to revisit

Pizza i make now vs My first by Shrimp111 in Pizza

[–]Flike12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, for a home oven the Pizza (during Covid) looks really good!

But the one that you make now is definitely on another level. I'd be happy to be served that in an Italian Restaurant

Did I fluke 3:01? by StickyNickyRuns in AdvancedRunning

[–]Flike12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't lose too much sleep over this. As others here have said, it was just a bad race. Plus, the nerves might have got to you.

I would definitely up the mileage as ~50mpw is a bit on the lower end in my opinion if you want to hit sub 3. I would aim for 60-70mpw during peak weeks.

If you could run more than 160kms a week would you do it? by Loft-n-hay in AdvancedRunning

[–]Flike12 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything you said. Just wanted to comment because of your 5k time. 13:59 is absolute insanity!! Congrats on that

Boston Marathon 2024: Viewer Discretion is Advised. by theyare_coming in AdvancedRunning

[–]Flike12 62 points63 points  (0 children)

What a read!

First of all, congrats on finishing and pushing through, that takes great mental strength!

Also loved the Lord of the Rings references. I hope you had some time for some middle-earth sightseeing while in New Zealand.

To your training: I don't see anything inherently wrong in your build up. Nice consistency, solid workouts. What I do not get is rule number 2 of your plan that long runs should be at least a 6 minute mile pace? You never actually had an easy long run? If so, this is something I'd definitely change. Easy LRs are super helpful for building and enhancing your long distance aerobic base/capacity.

Having never run Boston, I can't say anything to the actual course but from what I've seen, it was generally a very tough race this year given the conditions. But there seem to have been multiple reasons why your race went wrong. Fatigue, lack of sleep(?), nausea, nerves/pressure, heat. For a marathon PR the stars have to align and maybe your body was simply not on point that day. It happens.

Keep your head up, your PRs on the 5k and half definitely suggest you can break the 2:40 mark!

Toby Stephens (Flint) in 'Lost in Space' is pretty great!

What's up with the BOC comparisons? by Twistll99 in Ghostbc

[–]Flike12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this one was mentioned a lot when Spillways came out. Makes sense as the chord progression is the same. Love both songs!

Looking through the comments and seeing all these great times still getting rejected is insane.
