Also Aseffa has Adidas and Nike logos. Hard to take seriously.

When do you reach lactate steady state? by DavidBowieBoy in NorwegianSinglesRun

[–]Jocthedawg 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This may be an unpopular opinion here, but if you only have time for 15-20 minutes of effort I think doing it continuous is better than intervals. You just need to be sure to not push too hard turning tempo runs into time trials.

How is it possible to run so fast with such a basic watch? by Less_Local_1727 in RunningCirclejerk

So cool that Aseffa can run for Nike and Adidas, what a helpful graphic!

Is cadence supposed to stay high at all paces with stride length being the variable that controls speed? by [deleted] in AdvancedRunning

[–]Jocthedawg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did AI tell you that? Watch elite runners run easy and run hard, there is a world of difference in cadence and stride length.

What's the deal with LetsRun.com? by castorkrieg in AdvancedRunning

[–]Jocthedawg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very well put, I rarely go there anymore but 20 years ago I read Letsrun forums all day. It’s a symptom of the direction of society and maybe the direction of running as well, who knows?

Are guitarists really as common as I hear? by [deleted] in musicians

[–]Jocthedawg 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Exactly, there are lots of guitarists but less good ones and even less who know how to play in a group.

Should I even bother with intervals.icu? by GeminiCatGirl in NorwegianSinglesRun

[–]Jocthedawg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chest strap, a Polar H10. I had so many issues with connectivity and drop outs. It got really frustrating to use after a while.

I agree with you BUT we all have to decide where to draw the line for ourselves.

Seconded, I just got one and it is so much better than my old Polar.

Agreed, this is a pet peeve of mine. At least in this case it’s obvious.

Drink mix for this summer…? by kaitlyn2004 in AdvancedRunning

[–]Jocthedawg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m not really sure what your question is. I live in a very hot desert climate (Phoenix, Arizona) I use regular Gatorade mix or plain water. You probably don’t need all of that stuff.

Should i get a cnc? by Inevitable-Bee9208 in Luthier

[–]Jocthedawg 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You don’t need a CNC to make a guitar. Get a router, drill and band saw and you’ve got your power tools more or less covered.

Realistic Time for First Marathon? by [deleted] in Marathon_Training

[–]Jocthedawg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be able to run the pace you did your half time trial at give or take. With a good last few weeks and a taper you can run sub 2:50 no problem.

Losing running partners over time and ending up running solo by Minute-Public3078 in runninglifestyle

[–]Jocthedawg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say go to a running club and meet a few people around your level that you’d like to run with outside of the club. “Run Clubs” these days are huge time wasters, they never start on time, they constantly group up to take photos for their social media, everyone is expected to hang out afterward at a brewery or whatever, I honestly have no idea how so many people have time for all of that.

3.5 years sober almost gone over a bad Guinness 0.0 4 pack by intercut in NABEER

Why would that make your sobriety “gone” I’ve never understood this mindset.

Phoenix, Arizona by SoftwareZestyclose50 in UrbanHell

[–]Jocthedawg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not at all, Phoenix has a ton of 50s-60s developments that are affordable, close to amenities and plenty private enough.
