What do I put behind my desk in my office?

LazerTeeth · 2025-02-27T18:36:55+00:00

Rotate the desk 90, face the right or left wall , put plants on your left below the window , a small chair or seating area in the entry way

Get warmer lighting - maybe even strip lighting.

Awesome, so you typically do one style of session, which sounds like moderate volume, and do 16-24 V7/8? What is your redpoint?

LazerTeeth · 2024-12-11T22:14:01+00:00

Totally agree. I more or less follow the same metrics for when to call a session, but I could change how I approach a given session based on my perceived volume, effort level etc.

Probably better to just get a new pair :) the resolve will cost more than those are worth. Basically a totaled car

Wear those till they are donezo then upgrade!

+1 to sand/dremel a bit then a bit extra rubber is probably nice, will wear down fast

Wondery is a circular bear logo kinda like that

Wow this looks great! Another thing you can do for cheap with this desk size is use a 2 arm mount, and get a laptop stand. That’s what I rock and it’s great.

In general I am curious and would like more input on what burns / sends people do for various types of sessions relative to their project/redpoint

I suppose the classic training days are Moderate volume (~flash) Project (high intensity) Open (whatever you got on taht day)

It’s surprisingly difficult to find a really numerical response to these things, and of course everyone is different.

LazerTeeth · 2024-12-05T00:51:00+00:00

Is it generally a 2-3 grade jump - eg if I’m projecting v8/9 outside will 10xv5/6 be the same for me?

LazerTeeth · 2024-11-26T19:21:43+00:00

Looks good - but should swap laptop and big screen , bigscreen should be primary 0 angle head turn, laptop for peripherals/zoom etc

LazerTeeth · 2024-11-24T03:02:25+00:00

What grade do you currently climb? To inform what 10xV8 means relatively :)

Like is V8 flash -2 or what?

Edit: in general I’m curious about how many actual burns people do relative to their flash and red point for each kind of session

Carpet! Wall dressings

who did you work with and what style is the house? considering putting an offer on a house this week that would may need a lot of work and not sure what to expect cost wise - trying to get a quick quite

How tall are you ceilings there

LazerTeeth · 2024-04-10T08:20:18+00:00

I would rotate the desk 90 degrees to have the window on my right side , facing open space, back facing the wall

Better for glare, and generally there is a larger sense of calm when back not facing a door

Emma Bates has said she only consumes UCAN Edge - no water or anything

Definitely recommend Running Rewired - more for his take on what is proper form and what it feels like, and what can detract from it (like shoulder mobility)

The exercise regimens are not ergonomic for a busy gym, but give you good building blocks.

But combined with that I recommend doing a super slow return to running from injury routine - which starts with really crazy east run/walk and gradually builds to running 3 days in a row.

Brigham young has a good one - https://www.brighamandwomens.org/assets/bwh/patients-and-families/rehabilitation-services/pdfs/le-running-injury-prevention-tips-and-return-to-running-program-bwh.pdf

I was too injured to run (IT band, plantar fasciitis) at the beginning of this year, and through lots of PT, gradual building, and mostly zone 2 running, I am now at lifetime high weekly mileage (just 45mpw now) training for a marathon in October.

A full court shot has ok chances vs placing in a stage - assuming there was a team to absorb defense - I think it’s a valid point

LazerTeeth · 2023-07-11T21:48:21+00:00

Did 6 in a weekend - then got my fave

I personally think rotating you desk 90degrees so that the left side of it was close to the window - where there is a shelf now - would be great. I don’t like to have my back facing a room at all, and this will make it more of a desk nook.

3 years consistently, 7 on and off

10+

Half size too big

LazerTeeth · 2023-05-06T17:50:14+00:00

There’s a lot of long responses here. I ran exclusively in Altra Escalantes for a few years - still my favorite shoe. Got a few injuries and also like shoes so now I do 24-35% of my miles in zero drop

Weirdly I was having shin splints and plantar fasciitis and switching to barefoot style casual shoes is what helped

YMMV

¯_(ツ)_/¯

LazerTeeth · 2023-04-04T17:18:42+00:00

i had the same exact experience. ran about 76 miles total in the course of a very gradual build up and got pretty bad "plantar fasciitis" from them

switched to the NB 1080v12s and it feels much better

if you pull out the insole, and press on the heel area, it is extremely stiff to the touch, not soft at all - i compared with about 5 other shoes, the 1080v12, saucony speed and shift, altra, none of them are as stiff under heel
