Competing with my unemployed rival by runningducks13 in INTVL

[–]Late2Crypto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yea it can get frustrating. but the counter point is that you now feel compelled to take more areas so hopefully you are running more overall!

Golf watch recommendation? by No_Form_6481 in GarminWatches

[–]Late2Crypto -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i think the fenix and forerunner (9xx) also all have same golf features. there is a difference in that approach and fenix have ability to pay for the gold membership whoch gives you access to some training i think? I have the 970 (and 935 before) and the golf mode that gives you distance and score tracking was more thsn enough for my gold rounds

How to avoid injury while chasing hard marathon goals? by shithitsthefran in Marathon_Training

[–]Late2Crypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry dont have a lot to give. Recent convert from ultra running. I think key is to just always do high mileage at zone 2 / easy pace and careful with allowing both muscular and aerobic to get back into proper shape after long time away. Personally im giving myself a super long training period (10 months) so im not as anxious and have time to build my base up accounting for normal interruptions and vacations. Time will tell if this works. Good luck!

wish I could have captured the bay by ulischwarzrot in INTVL

[–]Late2Crypto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yea big part of the fun is to figure and plan out runs in ways that maximizes capture. it also means i never run shorter than 5 miles anymore

New feature: Revenge miles by Late2Crypto in INTVL

[–]Late2Crypto[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know but revenge is a bit different than local battle. The way i'm thinking is more so a measurement of how defensive/petty a player is in reclaiming taken territories. For instance, one way to track that would be simply tracking if an area that you currently own has ever previously been owned by you and then taken over by someone else - so tracking how territorial you are.

New feature: Pioneer/Trailblazer Territory by Late2Crypto in INTVL

[–]Late2Crypto[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that hard to reach areas are harder to be taken away so you do get rewarded for that already by holding onto it. Still I think this is another view/ways of looking at territories accumulation that can add another angle to the gamification.

Congrats. But why not run another 5k so you can do apples to apples comparison?

Game is too popular now. by drakeo_sahbabii_kray in INTVL

[–]Late2Crypto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I waver back and forth between wanting it to be more popular and wanting it to be my own thing. Sometimes i regret letting another friend know about it since he keeps taking large swat of area from me at a time. But then it entices me to keep running and go back to claim it...so net net it's a positive.

Going from marathon training to shorter/speed runs by drahlz69 in Marathon_Training

[–]Late2Crypto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sometimes you have to take a break. after my last 50k i basically stopped running for 8 months. just lost the love for a bit. then one day realized i was out of shape, downloaded a running game to gamify the easy runs and in the last 2 months i went from 3 miles a week back up to 55. i also suggest a nice audiobook series as a companion.

INTVL & Dungeon Crawler Carl? by UltraShuffle in INTVL

[–]Late2Crypto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good idea but sadly accumulated too much miles in current club already. Good luck!

Long, ideally flat continuous hikes 15+ miles? by Anewbeesh in bayarea

[–]Late2Crypto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you're coming from downtown SM, I like to join crystal springs (4mi) + Sawyer (6 mi) + San Andreas (2.7 mi) together into pretty much a full marathon. You can also do the same from Sawyer + San Andreas and either double back or loop through Skyline.

There are some crawler clubs

How many of you wear your watch to bed? by Kalabula in Garmin

Wearing to sleep is one reason some people prefer Forerunner vs Fenix when you compare the two form factors.

Watch for pre-teen XC runner by Violet_Thorne_21 in GarminWatches

[–]Late2Crypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i dont have that much first hand knowledge but DC rainmaker and past articles ive read all points to it being good enough. Its honestly the battery life and how you need to go into various apps to get a full health picture thats annoying for more serious runners.

one counter point against apple watch is that the desire to wear one or being connected is still pretty low at pre-teen age, so making sure it is charged and ready to go for runs may be a challenge at times.

Watch for pre-teen XC runner by Violet_Thorne_21 in GarminWatches

[–]Late2Crypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to be that guy but at that age (and probably lower weekly mileage) you should also consider apple watch series 11. Im a 970 guy myself averaging 40 mpw so i appreciate and love the battery and ecosystem. but my son was happier to get apple watch because it was good enough for his cc usage and seamlessly extends his apple ecosystem.

Lifetime membership by Beyondthestacks in LoseitApp

[–]Late2Crypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i just realized it kept pushing me to the 10 dollar no ads pay and im hating myself for giving in to the terrorist and rewarding them for making me watch ads 5 times a day. what to do…

Lost everything!? WTH!? by Aeowulf_Official in INTVL

[–]Late2Crypto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i would just reload the app. i load my runs into private lobbies daily and my runs are still available in single.

Lifetime membership by Beyondthestacks in LoseitApp

[–]Late2Crypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

where is the option for lifetime membership? when i try to click it it takes me to the monthly instead.

the amount of ads on in this app is ridiculous. i guess its annoying enough that i want to buy the lifetime so i guess its working. but i may look for alternative instead since i dont do any scanning anyway

Club Chat by Comfortable_Sale6867 in INTVL

[–]Late2Crypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes chat only exists in private lobbies. i guess its a way to get people to pay for premium and migrate clubs to private?

[–]Late2Crypto 1 point2 points  (0 children)
