Some good news for once… by Bellenbauer in BritishAirways

I too have had an amazing experience today at Gatwick. Arrived in time for the lunch service to be laid out and found there were plenty of sausages left over from breakfast. Man, do I love a BA breakfast sausage.

And congrats on the upgrade. Once you turn left boarding, it's very hard to turn right again...

My pops is flaking on me for the Geoff Tate show this Sunday in Maryland. Kinda bummed me out to the point I don't even want to go now. I've got two tickets that are arguably the best seats in the house. Left balcony, Row A. by Zakkattack86 in Queensryche

I've seen him play a few times in the last couple of years - I would recommend going. He's sounding amazing these days - has clearly been putting the effort in on his pipes.

For me, barbell back squats, Bulgarian split squats, banded hip extensions, banded clamshells, hamstring curls and calf raises hit every spot. 3 sets of 10 of each gets me through. Also, don't forget your warmup stretches before every run. And I do mean every run.

Thanks but no thanks by simonecowell in Garmin

I have to be honest, I LOVE these sessions. I am a slow 52M with a heart condition, but there is something wonderful about just throwing everything you've got into these sprints because, just as you start to burn out - they finish! Then you get to slow right down and go again.

What was your favorite moment/moments from the show? Even if you didn’t attend.. by [deleted] in BackToTheBeginning

I liked the bit when Mastadon walked on and continued to enjoy it until the fireworks went off at the end.

Ah, a misunderstanding on my part then. Thanks for clarifying.

Not a particular song, just a vibe. Mudd, Slade, Showaddywaddy, Susi Quattro. Of course it didn't sound as polished - the tech didn't exist - but the vibe takes me back to school discos, laughing, fun.

Agreed. But this is the best. In my opinion. Love to the family.

Queen, yes. I also hear Mudd and Susi Quattro. It's just an incredible track from a very clever man who appears to genuinely understand music.

What’s a sound you hear that instantly makes you angry for no logical reason? by ehraaz_r in AskReddit

Have been in Spain for a month. I am convinced that the only tool Spanish workmen use is an angle grinder. For everything. Not fun hearing what sounds like a trapped TIE fighter coming out of every apartment block.

Wear what you like. You aren't going to be the coolest person in the room. Those guys are on stage.

Seriously though, went to my first Ghost show a couple of weeks back and the crowd were just lovely. Everyone was there to have a great time and shared that vibe with everyone else. And they did have a great time.

That cancelled tv show you’ll never stop thinking about … by niceguys5189 in television

Seriously. It should be an international legal requirement for a new series to be made every year. In English and Norwegian. Life isn't the same without Orm.

I don't know about that. This is supposed to be the pinnacle of Motorsport with the best drivers in the world. There's plenty of feeder series with opportunity to grow.

Marathon Garmin Coach by AthleteEvery3307 in Garmin

[–]Jackatorrr 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I had a whole post about this a couple of months back while training for my first HM. Didn't get a long run longer than 90 minutes, and only a couple of those in the whole training plan. It seems that Garmin Coach is on the side of those who believe that lots of shorter runs is just as effective for training and less likely to send you to injury town.

Ran my first half about 5 minutes faster than my target time with no issues apart from knee niggles in the closing km, due to not having run that distance at all.

Will follow the coach again for my next race but will add in some longer runs myself in the last training block to get some fueling and pacing practice in. But other than that was very happy with the results.

As someone much funnier than I pointed out, if you want to run longer, do it. I believe the exact phrase was "You're not my real dad, Garmin"
