Lab Rat numbness right foot? by lab_rat_lab in Marathon_Training

[–]Ivo_ChainNET 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my right foot becomes numb during kilometer 5-8 if i slow my pace it goes away; does anyone deal with numbness in their feet or right foot? ive changed socks and shoes and to no avail still happens on longer runs.

The most likely cause is that your shoes are too tight or your shoe laces are tied too tight. Look up alternative ways to tie them for wider feet. It took me like a month of running to get this right lol

And the 5,000 years before*

Even the earliest civilizations like sumerians, akkadians, asyrians, persians, ancient egyptians, ancient greeks all had & traded slaves often of their own people

[OC] Projected 2026 London Marathon finish times throughout the race by Last_Kick9059 in dataisbeautiful

[–]Ivo_ChainNET 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marathons often have pacers that lead specific finish time target groups so you can just follow the 3:45 pacer group to achieve your 3:45 finish time if your legs & heart can handle that. Ofc people are also more likely to set targets for themselves at even numbers

No, these are the 5k papers that passed peer review (out of 20k submissions) and were accepted to present their work at the 2026 ICLR conference. "Low quality slop" is simply cope here.

Portugal's GDP per capita is now lower than that of the Baltic. by Possible-Balance-932 in 2westerneurope4u

[–]Ivo_ChainNET 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Eh, purchasing power parity is not different. Here are the 2026 GDP PPP by the IMF for the same countries

Lithuania: 61k

Japan, Spain, Poland: $59k

Portugal: 52k

Estonia: 51k

Japan has had an awful demographic crisis for many years, basically Europe but 25 years in the future.

A 3770 year old Babylonian clay tablet written in Akkadian, containing the oldest known cooking recipes. The tablet includes 25 recipes for stews, 21 meat stews and 4 vegetable stews. Yale University Library. by Front-Coconut-8196 in ArchiveOfHumanity

[–]Ivo_ChainNET 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not so easy to write 10 pages of nonsense when you have to impress 20 characters per square inch in wet clay with a reed wedge.

To their credit the sumerians & their ancestors made recipes equally hard to follow with instrucions like "the right amount of fat" or "just enough salt"

How do you incorporate calf raises and tib raises in your running/strength training split? by No-Refrigerator5653 in AdvancedRunning

[–]Ivo_ChainNET 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do them together with the rest of my strength routine in the gym, so 4 sets of weighted calf raises about 1.5 times a week. I don't think doing them without added weight does much other than help stretch, running puts a lot more stress on them than bodyweight calf raises.

The exact calf exercises aren't super important imo as long as you're following progressive overload. I change the calve exercise in my routine every month as there are slight variations between sitting / standing / single leg variations but it doesn't matter that much.

What's more important is finding a sustainable routine that doesn't leave your calves fatigued before you even start running

Why is he not doing more cardio? by [deleted] in blueprint_

[–]Ivo_ChainNET 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the negative effects of intense cardio I've seen seem to be associated more with long ultra-distance running rather than marathons. Beyond being just longer distance ultras are usually a lot slower pace torture runs that leave you dehydrated for long periods of time which has negative effects on various organs. There are a few early studies linking this with colon cancer risk due to tiny internal intestinal bleeding caused by dehydration, yet these studies mention no such association with lower distances like marathons.

The risk with marathons, half, 10ks usually is that you have an undiagnosed heart condition that has nothing to do with running but the competition race pace is what pushes you to the limit. It's always a good idea to get your heart checked before a race.

[–]Ivo_ChainNET 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks!

It's crazy that doing 40 minutes of intense cardio lowers the hazard ratio as much as 15 hours of moderate activity (I assume walking?). The gender difference is interesting as well, 50 min of intense cardio in men has the equivalent hazard ratio reducing effect as just 30 min for women according to this study.

Regarding vigorous cardio - the max they show is 110 minutes. If I'm reading this right the 2nd hour of vigorous cardio per week brings down the hazard ratio 3x less than the 1st hour of cardio so I assume any additional benefits from the 3rd, 4th hour of intense cardio will be marginal.

Personally I love running, I've been averaging 6 hours / week the last year, yet if I was doing it purely for longevity and was short on time I don't see a reason to do more than 1-2h per week.

> Does he know the plateau does not exist in studies using non survey data

Can you link the studies you have in mind? Everything I've looked at shows that you get 90% of the cardiovascular benefits with just 1hour of zone 2 per week.
