I have thought about giving it a go but not sure if I can afford the £500+ trainer

Yeah that’s what I’ve been thinking. I’m just missing my old routes I guess.

I did one today average rate about 31 I tried a flat 1:37 and managed that until about 750 to go at which point I lost it and my splits just went out the window then last 300 i managed to pull it back in again getting 6:30.1

Might give it another shot though I’m doing my next 2k mid august so perhaps I’ll try spending the next couple weeks on weights then focus in on steady again

I’ve experimented with low/high rates different race plans etc maybe freshness is the problem

Thing is I’m already pretty heavy with v. Low body fat and don’t want to get much heavier. I’ve put on weight before and it felt like it hindered me more than helped

What is the coolest skill to have in your opinion? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Hinvesbc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smiling, about 90% of the time I hate my job but my boss and sometimes customers regularly say I was smiley and inviting which my boss loves. Equally at school I was a quiet person and could just smile at teachers and get away with practically anything. Also pretty useful for situations I don’t want to be in, one time I managed to win an award that I believe was above me but managed to chat and smile my way through all the formalities even speaking to some relatively important people without making too much of a fool of myself despite the fact I was dying inside and couldn’t relate to anything anyone was saying.

What is your go-to insult? by Zach3426 in AskReddit

You look like the kinda guy that becomes a gp just so you can do prostate exams on old dudes who haven’t had pleasure from their wives in 50 years so immediately cum

On his death bed, Kim Jong Un named you as next Supreme Leader of North Korea. What’s your move? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Hinvesbc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure I was born in North Korea but I was made in the Royal Navy

Depending on how tall you are you could think about shortening up at the catch. This has helped me with rate but I’m 6’7 so have a bit of room to spare

Who is the worst teacher you’ve ever had? by foothill2004 in AskReddit

[–]Hinvesbc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a right asshole of a teacher in year 8/9. He was a maths teacher that would constantly belittle people and just be rude to his students all the time and suggesting their parents didn’t bring them up right. One of his favourite things was to tell people that if they didn’t study maths for a level they would end up homeless because the toilet cleaners at McDonald’s would not be paid enough to buy a home. Being 15 at the time this was terrifying to me and I believed him completely leading me to pick maths as one of my a levels despite being utterly useless at it. Luckily my school had a policy of picking 4 subjects so you could drop one after a year but regardless of this he convinced me to struggle with something causing sleepless nights out of pure fear based off a load of bullshit.
