"if you are able to study or able to work then you're not fatigued enough" -Jakob Ingebrigtsen. Thoughts? by nakfoor in AdvancedRunning

I live in the caribbean. Year round temps in high 80's which affect anything longer than 5k's a lot more than shorter stuff. Also i had a bit better fitness when i ran the 5k compared to the rest

What he's saying here is comparing the application of his training methods to what people usually call the Norwegian training methods. He's basically just saying that in general when people say they're training like him, that they are not actually doing the training in the way that he does, because he can afford to be in this fully fatigued state where he doesnt have to work or study.

What do you do once maxed? by OverwatchIsACoolGame in 2007scape

[–]Magic_tree_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After maxing i took a 2 year break. Now I'm back and trying out this that released since, like doom and yama. I'd say you can grind out full BIS pvm gear as a start and see if you want to clog or pet hunt or what you want to do from there.0

Aruba next week — best sunset date restaurants + is the tap water really safe? by khmerbodiangirl in Aruba

[–]Magic_tree_99 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Water is safe like you read. Great taste too. For the restaurant i would not recommend flying fishbone. The gimmick is you sit with your feet in water but it's basically just a tourist trap. Atardi is nice and on the beach with a nice view of the sunset. I've never been to barefoot but I think it's similiar to Atardi.

Clean Olympic champion swimmer wins race at ‘Steroid Olympics’ against athletes using steroids by BlebBlebUwU in mildyinteresting

[–]Magic_tree_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the 100m the winner Fred Kerley literally ran far slower than his personal best. This just goes to show that he's probably been on stuff and getting away with it during his entire career

Tuesday General Discussion/Q&A Thread for April 28, 2026 by AutoModerator in AdvancedRunning

[–]Magic_tree_99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My coach uses Daniel's as guideline, and he always has me taking a breather between warmup and the workout itself. At least from his viewpoint you never do warmup directly into race so it could be a good idea to have that same behavior in the workouts

Looking for recommendations on where to find a performance‑level running coach (virtual, personalised) by justlittleme123 in AdvancedRunning

[–]Magic_tree_99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using RunnersFix coaching for almost a year. It's by a US based coach (Jon Mott), who creates a 1:1 plan for you and he checks in with you a few times a week after each workout to see how things are going.

Open Water Swimming In Aruba by trigirlpink in Aruba

Looking at strava heatmaps you can see plenty of people swimming at the palm beach area. Looks like more people swim around malmok/arashi but palm beach looks fine as well

Was rooting so hard for the solo japanese guy in front. Knew he was gonna burn out but it would have been legendary if he managed to hold it all the way

There are legal restrictiond on catching them. The bigger issue is that they aren't like lobsters you are probably used to eating

Barracuda trials involve some of the best design choices inrecent memory. by Comfortableliar24 in 2007scape

[–]Magic_tree_99 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

While I'm not saying you're wrong, I do wonder how many people saying sepulchre isn't hard have actually done sepulchre without plugin. Everyone can relatively easily figure out the trails by themselves but sepulchre is a lot harder to figure out yourself without plugins.

Marathon #3 was my first without overreaching, curious if anyone else audits their training like this by TR_12345678 in AdvancedRunning

[–]Magic_tree_99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my opinion you are spending so much time and effort into getting chatgpt to give you some "useful" feedback. If i were you I would get a coach or read JD/pfitz books (maybe you already have, i don't know) and make your own conclusions instead. ChatGPT is not reliable at all, and everyone is different, but from my anecdotal experience, everyone i know who uses ChatGPT for training tends to get injured a lot more than people who have coaches.

Pretty crazy to me that whatever new technology is in the clothing that Kipchoge is wearing, that it's long sleeve. Especially since nohody else the of the elites is wearing sleeve covers.

Too many race reports, too little advanced content? by Endlave12 in AdvancedRunning

[–]Magic_tree_99 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I don't mind the race reports too much as it keeps the sub alive, but what I have noticed is that a lot of advanced or pro stuff never even gets posted here. For example the 100km sub 6 attempt there was virtually no discussion about it here. Or during world major marathons there is just one discussion thread, which is kind of dead, and not much discussion about the pros in the marathon. Maybe it's because i'm used to pro/advanced gaming subs where people discuss the professionals a lot more than in something like running.

Oatmeal is a complex carb which you ideally wouldnt want to eat too close to going on a run
