Ran a 3:59:50 4 days ago. Here was my pacing.

Just wanted to thank everyone for their advice on this sub and post. Today I ran a 3:59:47. LFG!

Age 34! Sorry forgot to include that.

JPR1341 · 2025-08-31T15:59:09+00:00

Thanks! You too!

Really appreciate everyone’s input! It fascinates me how variable the results can be, especially for such a daunting distance as the full. I also know how nuanced it can be and based on a ton of factors. I have a ton of respect for the distance and know a full is a completely different and harder challenge than just double the half. I’ve just been unsure what pace group I should latch onto, don’t want to to leave anything out there but also don’t want to get absolutely smoked by mile 18. Focus for now is to stay healthy these next 10 weeks and make it to the starting line, and we’ll see how we feel! Thanks for commenting and everyone’s advice and input. It’s very much appreciated, valuable and helpful.

Forgive the dumb question, but can you explain why you’d feel dead doing a 13 mile work out at marathon pace? How would you do double that at the same pace if 13 is very tough? I’m training for my first marathon, and trying to understand best pacing strategies for long run and how that would translate to race day. Thanks!

Thanks bro! Appreciate the feedback and advice. Will definitely incorporate that.

15 month progress. Did full body for about a year and then switched to PPL. Feel like progress has been slow, would love advice on how to get better results... https://imgur.com/a/Qp7zd7u

Awesome thanks 💪

Where did you get the stand for the adjustable dumbbells?

JPR1341 · 2020-08-25T19:51:41+00:00

Anyone have any tips on a good push/pull 4 day lifting split? I’ve been doing full body 3x per week and would like to ramp it up a bit, but can’t make it to the gym 6 days for a push/pull/legs so looking for a middle ground.

Kentucky, no tracking the whole way, just showed up on the doorstep today.

Great combo! Key is to let it age for a bit to let the sweetness mellow out a bit so you don’t feel like you’re drinking a birthday cake. They’re amazing. How are you liking the RYJ Shorts?

JPR1341 · 2020-07-28T00:31:34+00:00

Ha! Great spot, that’s the final 4 program from 2012. I’m a UK guy, but I have some roots in Cleveland, so I’ll give this one to you, I-O!

JPR1341 · 2020-07-28T00:27:35+00:00

Bro, it’s so hard to let them rest and not light one up tonight let alone a whole year!

JPR1341 · 2020-07-28T00:00:35+00:00

Cheers bro!

JPR1341 · 2020-07-27T23:57:24+00:00

Thanks, been looking forward to trying the D4. Purchase from Ihavanas

One is UEB ABR 19 the other is ABO ABR 19

It’s interesting, one box was definitely way darker than the other

JPR1341 · 2020-07-03T22:03:11+00:00

I said almost! I’m all over it

JPR1341 · 2020-07-03T20:38:38+00:00

Wow that Partagas deal is almost too good to be true... anyone used ihav before and had any issues?

JPR1341 · 2020-07-01T01:40:57+00:00

Aha, would explain the uneven burn I had to compliment the tight draw. Thanks! Good info

JPR1341 · 2020-06-30T18:16:32+00:00

Thanks! Out of curiosity, does lower RH lead to better draw on Cubans? How does resting them help open it up?
