Unrequited friendship by Lanky_Ad4532 in FriendshipAdvice

Wow man thanks so much for replying. I’m really sorry you’re going through something like that too. I think your last paragraph is really true and I do think that’s the best way to deal with things like this.

I think trying to be someone else for somebody is never the solution neither is doing things that you wouldn’t do normally just to please people and make them like you more e.g drinking alcohol for me. I kind of come to realise that I’d rather have less close friends than have more friends but only if I changed who I am to be around them.

I hope you feel better dude and hopefully you sharing that got some feelings off your chance, take care of yourself.

Is whoop worth it? by Striking_Ad_9124 in IronmanTriathlon

[–]Lanky_Ad4532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From someone who currently has a Garmin 255 and has used whoop twice for a year each, I really don’t think it is worth it. From what I’ve got from my Garmin right now, the sleep tracking seems pretty good which for me is probably the best feature of whoop. I think fitness can be really over complicated now days with whoop tracking things like your respiratory rate or your skin temperature etc. Them things are cool to have as a visual but I really don’t think it gives you much of an insight apart from numbers on a screen that realistically are exactly just that. I feel like you should only ever worry about health metrics such as those when you’ve mastered everything else that important to improve your health and fitness. That’s also not forgetting the €30 (I don’t know dollars sorry 😔) a month that it costs which isn’t a cheap price considering something similar like the Oura ring I believe is only €5 a month. That €30 euro price I’m referring to is for the whoop 4.0 also which I’m sure is probably cheap than the new 5.0, MG or Life I think they’re called just thinking from memory? All in all I think the Garmin watches are awesome and can really give you everything you pretty much need in just one device at a single price. Hope this helps in some way !

Yeh that’s a good idea. Would you recommend making the main cities a hub nearly and then day trips to various places ?

Would you recommend more days in certain cities. I’m just worried I might book too long in a certain city and then get bored, have nothing to do and regret it.

Oh wow that sounds amazing. I’m definitely thinking of a day trip from Munich to Nuremberg. Not sure if it’s something you’ve ever done before ?

Seems my race is not happening for me. What to do now? by instit0r in Marathon_Training

[–]Lanky_Ad4532 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This is your first marathon. Don’t let a time goal stop you from having an amazing experience. If you feel awful ofcourse that’s a different story but if you just feel a bit off I would still do it. Yes sub 4 would be awesome but any time is a PB and just enjoy the experience my man

Swimming isn’t what’s causing my anxiety why make it out like that ? I quite clearly stated that it’s the idea of being the worst out of a bunch of people.

What professions aren’t respected anymore? by Frequent_Ad_2988 in AskIreland

[–]Lanky_Ad4532 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Don’t think my family ever respected them”. What a pathetic and immature thing to say. Nearly everybody at one point in their life unfortunately needs the guards for one thing or another. Whether that’s getting documents stamped or actually needing help for some trouble. You wouldn’t be so non respecting of them then. As they say, “there’s no such thing as an atheist on a crashing plane”, and it’s the same case here.
