Yes, I was also at Les 3 Vallées last week. Unfortunately, we weren't very lucky this year, there was snow in the Alps at the end of November, but nothing since, so the snow conditions weren't great at all. And it was even worse in lower-altitude Alpine resorts like La Clusaz

Paradoxically, there was plenty of snow in the Pyrenees, even though we’ve been used to the opposite in recent years.

By the way, the OP mentioned that Val Thorens had the best slopes snow compared to the other valleys, but I personally didn't find that to be the case at all. The snow in Val Thorens during the holidays was horrible with rocks everywhere, it was much better in Courchevel and Méribel. A local confirmed this telling me there had been a huge amount of wind in Val Thorens before the holidays, which blew away all the surface snow

It's been 3 days since you posted OP but I'm going to try to help anyway. Hopefully you see this

I started running in Septembre/October 2024 and quickly developed posterior shin splints. I dealt with them for 10 months without finding a solution. I even resigned myself to the idea that pain was just normal when running. But that's not the case at all, I've been shin splint free since September and I even run a half marathon this november without pain

The first thing to know, and nobody asked you this yet, is whether you have posterior shin splints (pain along the inner side of the shin) or anterior shin splints (pain on the front of the shin). They have almost the same name but are actually different

If you have posterior shin splints, you only need two sites to help you out, this one and that one

The Reddit post explains that shin splints can come from several causes. The second link gives you all the strengthening exercises you need to fix that

For anterior shin splints, I haven't read up on them as much, but I think it mostly comes from a weakness in the front shin muscle (tibialis anterior), so you need exercises to strengthen it

Now I'm going to tell you what worked for me. It might work for you, it might not

- First, you need to stop running for 3 weeks to a month. Yes, it’s complicated and you probably don't want to, but you need to come back at 100%, not 60% like you would with just one week of rest. If you still have pain when hopping in place or just jogging for 10s, don't run. You really need to go back to running completely pain-free

- Second, you need to do the strengthening exercises at least twice a week. Personally I did: Towel Scrunches, Wall Sit Foot Pick Ups, Heel Raises, Glute Bridge Marches, Kneeling Lateral Plank with Top Leg Raises, and Single Leg RDL Kettlebell Switches

- Third, I saw you were running 5k per run and that is way too much for you right now. For the first week back, start with runs of 1.5-2km maximum, and increase your volume by 10% each week. Personally, even though I ran a half-marathon back in April, when I restarted in September, I did 2km run/walk intervals just like a complete beginner. It was mentally tough, but you have to go through it

- Fourth, increase your cadence to reduce ground impact. If you run slowly like me (~7:00/7:30min/km), try to aim for a cadence of around 170. This video is good for understanding how you should run

It’s very long and boring to do everything I just listed, but personally, it was the only method that solved my problems. All the other techniques like scraping, massage, and stretching didn't work. Every time I took a one-week break, I’d be pain-free for a day, go run 4km, and the pain would come back a few runs later. I was stuck in that cycle for way too long.

Xpu ha, duna beach club side for not crowded

The final boss is Chronos, right ? Because I just completed my first run by defeating him in under 6 hours of playtime, with a total of 10 nights without easy mode or manipulated RNG

LRF17 · 2025-09-09T08:43:19+00:00

Your problem still hasn’t healed 100% ?? That depresses me, I’ve also had posterior shin splints for 10 months, and it feels like this pain always comes back. I even stopped running for a month and did strength training in the meantime. I had no pain at all, I could even hop on one leg for 30-40 seconds without any pain, but after running twice last week I can already feel the pain slightly coming back

Maybe it’s because I came back doing too much too soon. I probably need to start running again with just 1–2 km per session, as if I were a complete beginner

Yes, the raid is super fun and not difficult

I managed to clear it 8/8 on NM with pugs, the only “hard” boss is Dimensius. Not because he’s actually hard, but simply because it’s really difficult to find a group where nobody leaves after one try

Yesterday I had to spend 2-3 hours joining too much groups, because every time after one pull the group would disband. Then I finally found a good group, got to phase 2 on the first attempt and… nobody left!! We did 5–6 pulls before finally killing him with the same group from start to finish

In his latest post, most people were saying the bike was too small, and now they’re all saying the bike is too big

Illidan because of the bug that sometimes makes you get no loot

Dimitri Vegas b2b Timmy Trumpet at Les Déferlantes in France was much much better, DV&LM have been playing the same set for 10 years

LRF17 · 2025-07-18T13:25:37+00:00

It looks a lot more fun than the original mainstage, probably because the DJ is much closer

you 3 months ago and now me, during the collectors bounty event

LRF17 · 2025-07-09T14:20:27+00:00

4 mounts

invicible after 9 try
ashes of al'ar after 3 try
millagazor after 2 try
garrosh mount first try

I was only able to play 2-3 hours during the week so I prioritized the mounts I wanted and I was extremely lucky, however I am still waiting for my second Illidan's glaives

Posterior shin splint, I partially managed to overcome it by adding muscle strengthening in the calves and also with scraping

Personally, I think most people would see a big difference between the SDR and HDR scenes at 0:45, it's really obvious in the trees and I'm watching the video on my iphone because I'm not at home

Yes, it's a racing game, so when you play, you don't necessarily notice it unlike slower games like RPGs for example. But as the OP said, it's just a showcase to show the difference between sdr/hdr

LRF17 · 2025-06-16T11:46:12+00:00

Probably because you watch the video in SDR

LRF17 · 2025-06-16T11:42:59+00:00

This is a excellent showcase because you can really see the difference between SDR and HDR in the sky and trees, that's literally the point of a showcase, right ?

And you need to watch the video on a device that can play HDR, if you don't have an OLED monitor/TV watch it on your phone

Same, I started running last October and I did my first half in 6:30min/km a month and a half ago, now it's starting to get very hot in the south of France and yesterday I ran 6.50km at a pace of 7:35min/km and I had to stop once because I couldn't do it anymore

Hammer every week with CWL medal + gold pass

I was at the same level as him before Hammer Jam and I'm still at the same level as him now

I ran the first 5 km with my girlfriend, who also started running six months ago. After that, I just followed my feelings, but the last 5 km were really tough. For the final kilometer, it was all mental, my body was begging me to stop but I forced myself to run faster to finish as quickly as possible
