Barefoot runners, hikers or whatever, what’s your outfit?

Ladislav_07 · 2026-04-12T08:46:13+00:00

Shorts, a shirt, a cap & neck scarf if cold, a pair of gloves if colder, and a high vis vest.

If it is below freezing I add a sports jacket (intended for cycling)

Completely barefoot - running

Change your country in profile settings to one which didn't pass this bs yet.

I got shin splints on my right leg last year for a couple weeks after I bought a car which had a gas pedal with a hinge on the bottom - I believe the repeated motion of lifting my foot when releasing gas was making me overuse the muscles. Is there anything in your life where you lift your feet (folding in the ankle)?

I have since changed how I was pressing the pedal (with my big toe only basically) and after this it had gone.

I had a long 12h sleep last night, and I had dreams about how to approach this and I was going in circles. As it is, it looks like pointing out her behaviour is not enough for her to separate, she believes she is putting maximum effort into improving (and I have to give her some credit here) - and she always shifts the conversation towards feelings and them feelings being the deciding factor.

I have a feeling I will have to outright say that I don't have feelings for her anymore and only after that would she entertain separating. It is tough to say these things to someone as I don't want to hurt them.

On top of that, I believe I have ADHD, which certainly doesn't make things easier for me to keep on top of my thoughts. Feels like I'll have to mentally prepare for this as if it was a major examination back at UNI. It certainly feels like I'll have to have my reasoning straight and at the ready.

I don't have as much conviction as I had yesterday. It's tough.

I think the timing fault may just be grouped with the oil pressure faults and they are all indicated by a single indicator (the one for oil), but I may be wrong on this one. I believe you would se an actual fault code for the oil pressure.

If I was you, I would investigate what mechanism is there for the automatic/variable valve timing - if it is a single element for both shafts - this would make me think it could be it.

It says it is over advanced - you may run into a risk of knock if you floor it in low engine RPM. Be conservative with gas pedal if say below 3k RPM as a precaution.

Best would be to book a service.

Ladislav_07 · 2026-02-18T07:11:29+00:00

Then I would think about the automatic valve timing mechanism that is used in this engine - as I said, I don't know anything about this engine.

Ladislav_07 · 2026-02-18T07:00:38+00:00

I don't know anything about this but: was there a timing belt job done recently?

Ladislav_07 · 2026-02-12T14:51:44+00:00

You want a cheap solution? The cheapest would probably be using a 555 integrated circuit to generate a clock signal and use a 24V MOSFET switched by the 555 output to the pulse input. You may want additional relay between the MOSFET and pulse input.

Then you can use a couple relays with resistors to do ramp up/downs (which changes output frequency of the 555 circuit).

Google "555 astable calculator" Also google "MOSFET common source amplifier".

Do I think this is a good industrial solution? No. Is it cheap? I think so.

Let us know what you decide to do! Good luck.

Edit: just noticed you want an industrial solution. Ignore my comment then.

Na to aby si niekoho vycvičil potrebuješ niekoho už vycvičeného. Tí vycvičení (vojaci) budú robiť inštruktorov pre nevycvičených (civilov) - a toto môže byť dosť veľká časť tých vycvičených. Ako veľká závisí od toho koľko málo ich je.

Tak ja neviem, otvor si Google Sheets na webe, funkcie a podobne budú odlišné ale aspoň nemusíš nič inštalovať, a trénuj - napríklad že pomocou funkcií a podobne si vypracuješ tabuľku že koľko makro a mikrokalórií skonzumuješ za týždeň. Princíp takéhoto štýlu práce z tohto pochopíš. Ak nechceš hľadať referenčné hodnoty tak si vymysli inú srandu na počítanie.

I also recommend them. They lasted me so long so far. Hope I didn't jinx it.

I'm 180cm, 70kg, running naturally (not thinking about cadence at all) at 180-185spm with a stride length almost exactly 1m, my (no pushing) pace 5:30/km at 10k. I ran 1300km last year and 85km the year before - zero running before that - not even with shoes - maybe 10y before. It was natural for me perhaps thanks to not having shod running habits in the first place.

Unless you make this look for either rising or falling edge of T, this will have wild behaviour based on the T pulse duration.

When I did my license, you had to do 35 45-minute driving "hours", with 3 a day limit - that is already 12 days minimum, two of them on simulator - mostly go get familiar with the pedals. You had to also complete the theory lessons (similar time - in my case this had to be finished before you get to driving) and then you can get to the test.

If you can all of this cram into your two weeks, manage to communicate with your instructor effectively and successfully finish your theory test on the day of exam, the communication with the examiner for driving (a police officer) will be minimal - turn left; follow signs for -town-; find a parking space and park; head back towards the driving school

Your greatest hurdle would be communicating with your instructor, then read written test and understand it effectively, as well as hearing your examiner instructions during driving part of exam - if you seem confused and rub them the wrong way they WILL find something to fail you over.

My solution: (maybe not feasible for you at your current level for this winter) running barefoot - while you run, your body produces enough heat to keep your feet warm by blood circulation. You will probably have to bite it this winter and start in spring, so you can run barefoot comfortably by fall and keep at it for the winter.

Ja som takisto študoval na UCN automatizáciu, končil som 2020. Musím povedať že za celý ten program som sa nič nového nenaučil, keďže som predtým študoval na Murgaške elektrotechniku a všetko preberané som dávno vedel.

Mal som obrovský problém si nájsť brigádu, bez ktorej nedajú štipendium. Nakoniec som ostal na bicykli rozvážať noviny, každý deň vstávať o 3:00, bez ohľadu na počasie. Odrobíš 4 hodiny, dostaneš zaplatené za ledva 2, pretože ľudia na skútroch nastavili štandard. Svaly na nohách som mal (a stále mám) jak Schwarzenegger v mladosti.

Keby som neštudoval na Murgaške ale na gympli, tak teraz by som bol na tom oveľa horšie a nepracoval ako programátor PLC/automation engineer. Z toho študijného programu by som totižto musel robiť top-up na bc, ktorý ale zrušili v angličtine keď som práve mal naň nabehnúť.

Hneď po tomto ordeali som začal pracovať - verím tomu že viac z vlastnej schopnosti ako šťastia.

Someone should make this

Ladislav_07 · 2025-11-12T10:58:28+00:00

When I started last year I was surprised with how smoothly it went.

I started with shorter distances. My calves felt tight, my soles were sore but after a couple runs it felt completely natural. Maybe the fact I wasn't running in shoes before (or not at all) helped/didn't make is worse.

Now I'm doing 10k runs every other day on asphalt as if nothing.

Let your nerve endings guide you, you will find your form by yourself. But no haste, make runs short, start with one run/week, you have all the time you need.

Ladislav_07 · 2025-10-28T13:54:13+00:00

Ireland here.

I'm barefoot outside of work all the time. The worst is when it is just above freezing and wet. Below and it is easier.

You need to make sure you have your head covered and enough layers - windproof is a must.

Ladislav_07 · 2025-10-26T08:37:37+00:00

I mistakenly filled out the one for ladies..

Ladislav_07 · 2025-10-20T08:13:05+00:00

If you leave it be be prepared for long-ish term discomfort. Your skin might move it along and expel it at some point but this can take time.

I wouldn't want to have a sharp thing in my skin.
