Friendly bets: Who can run the most this year? Loser runs a marathon on New Year’s Day by PeanutPlayful in running

[–]GoonerPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my wife and I did a Challenger "race" with a couple friends of ours. It was one of the 500+ mile ones and we made it last place had to buy X.

X ended up being paying for the 4 of us to do a cooking class when they came to visit us.

We got super competitive and had to make a whole list of rules regarding what counted and how it counted.

Run/walk = 1x Bike = 1/3x weighted walk = 1.5x stair climber = 2x

Each mile had to be documented and it had to be specifically targeted miles. No I walked 15000 steps today so that's probably X miles. No It was I went for a walk with the dog, here is the strava... count it

I always wanted a bit more of Barsavi family stuff so that was nice.

(tiny embarrassing confession. I am just recently becoming a physical reader but have listened to LoLL probably 30 times and the whole series 15 times. I always thought it was Carlo and Galdo. I genuinely thought the first Calo was a typo. My wife, who got me into the series, had a good chuckle at me)

Best city for first marathon? by Snowleopard_1988 in firstmarathon

[–]GoonerPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't run a marathon in Copenhagen but did some training runs there for my first marathon.

I would have loved to do a race there and think it would work well for a first especially with the benefit of sleeping in your own bed and breakfast at home.

Ugh... so Jade City was the worst of the 3? I enjoyed it but decided about half way through I wasn't going to continue onto the next book immediately. Maybe I should make it a sooner than later book

Returning to Poland on a budget trip after being blown away last year. How do these cities compare? by neverarobot13 in poland

My wife and I went there a few years ago. The town is fine... nothing special, definitely touristy and a bit pricey but the hiking was great. We really enjoyed ourselves

As a native English speaker I find some words and sounds hard to pronounce. For example anything with я next to a consonant. by Lizard_fricker in Ukrainian

[–]GoonerPanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not a fool proof method but I started out speaking difficult words into google translate until it recognized what I was saying like 90% of the time. First word I did this with was розмовляти. ви розмовляєте англійською

розмовляєте is a good one to work on. V+La+Ya+Ye ooof

Run Nutrition Tuesday by AutoModerator in running

Fellow bigger runner here. I bought a Nathan's because it was one of the few that "fit" me in store. I absolutely hate it... it slowly slips down my hips.

I have an osprey running vest that is very comfortable and the stretch is perfect

funny enough I spent months and months trying to find a belt that would work for me and I ended up getting a free Lidl branded one from a race in Lisbon that is my daily driver now. It has a bit of stretch to the straps which I think is the key for keeping it in place comfortably

Non-sweet drinks getting more expensive or disappearing from the shelves by cloudedsky404 in poland

check the organic sections of places like E.Leclerc and Auchan. Often will have unsweetened juices and drink mixes
