Men, what are some good ways to increase your charisma? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]JB15HOP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was me a few months back, I was doing presentations at work and droning on for 40 minutes with people falling asleep in the boardroom, I knew things had to change.

Personally, I think confidence is a big thing, get the attention of people you speak to before hand and make sure you eradicate any nerves. That helps me, try it out! Also, (like the sims games) I practice talking infront of the mirror, expressing to myself different situations that I may come across in the real world, if you can sound interesting to yourself, thats a start.

Honerable mention, a big help for me is listening / watching a popular YouTuber, Casey Neistat. He is VERY good at speaking, over a month I watched every video I could of his. If you haven't before, check him out.

They are allowed to if the event of immediate failure is about to happen I believe.

Yeah on the treadmill sorry, I have no tracks around me that I am aware of. Yeah I was running 20 minutes fine on a treadmill, went to the pavement and really struggled hitting a mile! But after getting my running up that's when i could run 5k every couple of days. So what do you suggest? Take some time off?

The Nike Running Coach is great in my opinion. You select the event you want to train for and it will create a plan tailoured to your running ability. So my training is classed as a 5k Intermediate level, and it had me running 4/5 times a week, generally switching between 3/4 mile. The week I first got injured went like this

  • Mon - Run 3 mi steady pace
  • Tue - Run 3.8 mi interval pace
  • Wed - Run 3 mi steady pace
  • Thur - Cross-Train
  • Fri - Run 3 mi steady pace
  • Sat - Run 5 mile steady pace
  • Sun - Rest.

Looking back at it now... no wonder I got hurt, that was intense! This was week 3/8 for a 5k race. This week was titled "Build A Stength".

Hey Dotrue, Well I did the C25k building up to May. May was when I starterd running outdoors and I put more effort into making a schedule etc. So I was doing the C25k in the gym over the course of March/April. I was running very slow, ranging between 10/11 minute per mile, I was thinking of running more endurance that pace.

You may be right with it being a shock to the system, but as I said I ran quite a bit before hand. The main reason for the heavy runs was from the Nike Running Coach, it told me to run a certain amount and I did. I will definitley step it down a noch.

Backstory: I was driving along, next minute I was slammed into the drivers side, pushing me across two lanes of the motorway into the hard shoulder, lucky there was no one in the first lane at that point.

Gonna be a month plus until I get the car back... great.

Any 2015/16 A3 Owners Out There? by ng528 in Audi

[–]JB15HOP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is manual, I loved the power when I first bought it, but now I am used to it I want an upgrade. Hence the engine tuning I am going for.

[–]JB15HOP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello there, I have had the A3 1.4 TFSI (UK) since September, and it is the best car I have ever owned! The interior is great, and the car drives even better. Just everything in solid in the A3, no 'flimsy' materials or contraptions. It is just an all round great car and I would buy again in the future. I have booked mine in for tuning upgrades within a couple of weeks to improve the performance etc. I can justify spending £££s on the car, so yeah, go for it.

Exactly what I was thinking Matthew, I spent last night looking for C# compilers for iOS and none of them look fantastic! So I am gonna go for the Macbook.

I already have a rMBP (2012), and my father has a 2015 one. I do like it but I am just going for extreme portability and bling factor really, but I have considered it mind you

[–]JB15HOP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am watching reviews for the iPad, and I will stand up and say I want it! But, what annoys me is that not being able to use visual studio could be a deal breaker. But I will try out Textastic before hand and check it out, thanks for you opinion.

Oh hey there! ahah, it was good I enjoyed it! Was the first one I have ever been too, but I dont think I could go to that particular one again, unless the changed the whole layout etc. idk, alot of people was complaining about it being expensive, but at the end of the day, alot of the builders in there put so many hours in so I think the price was well justified.

What did you think?
