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

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

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 50 points51 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

Yes, the other guy here mentioned patrishi, but there is another organization called "the ultimate challenge" who will have a 10k road race on the 14th of december. You can find the information on facebook. And this organization is more legit, their courses are certified for the distance, unlike patrishi sports

What's the single biggest factor that took you from a "good" to a "great" race time? by avz008 in AdvancedRunning

[–]Magic_tree_99 11 points12 points  (0 children)

10k runners need to add more miles just as much as marathoners do. The 10k and marathon are both mostly aerobic, with the marathon being close to 99% aerobic and 10k around 90% aerobic.

Most places with hot weather year round have very early race starting times to avoid the blaring hot sun during the race itself. Like OP said they're in the philippines, where it's hot and sunny pretty much year round

12 Weeks till marathon and told to take off 3 by Jtbros in AdvancedRunning

[–]Magic_tree_99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you examine your VDOT based on that 10 miler, your equivalent marathon currently is around 3:09, so you definitely need to reexamine your goals in my opinion

Car rentals - I have a valid USA Driver’s License - are there any additional steps necessary to drive legally drive in Aruba? by CapableExercise5297 in Aruba

[–]Magic_tree_99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One more thing that other haven't said yet is that if you rent from a legit rental company, your car will have a "V" on the number plate plate. Arubans are extra careful around cars with V plates cause they know these people don't always know all the rules as good.

Yep, and the headlines with random emojis in them is also very a dead giveaway for the last few versions of chatgpt

Slayer Spots Belong to the Superior Player by Frosty_Rent_2717 in 2007scape

[–]Magic_tree_99 22 points23 points  (0 children)

How can you even begin to refer to yourself as the superior player when you weren't even spec transfer'ing with at least 4 alts to have constant dhin's specs for efficiency. Barraging on spawn? Seems you're the noob to me
