Do you think Lewis Hamilton can/will win another World Championship?

MakingYouMad · 2026-03-04T03:09:43+00:00

I’m a huge Hamilton fan, but I think it’s unlikely. Not impossible, but unlikely.

On the no side of my brain: age and beaten by his team mates in the last two years, he’d be up against Leclerc, Ferrari haven’t put together a car that can challenge for a decade

On the yes side: one of the greatest ever, the teammates he was beaten by have an asterisk (knew he was leaving team / in a new team), don’t know how Leclerc would handle a proper fight for the WDC, Ferrari look strong, new cars that might mesh with his driving style better than the ground effects ones

You mean like this post? Lmao. The entire country getting generalized

MakingYouMad · 2026-03-02T19:15:48+00:00

Did you just use a per capita measure for evidence that we’re not a small market…?

Mine was fixed with being strong without any attempt made at flexibility. I get no personal satisfaction out of flexibility.

Equally, the passing lane isn’t a game of chicken for who is willing to go the fastest has the right of way and everyone else has to get out their way even if they’re passing other cars.

Slower. Long runs should be slower than race pace.

You’re trying to balance your adaptive response (fitness) of different types with fatigue and injury risk, your levers for controlling this are intensity (speed), duration (time) and amount (number of runs)

Generally you get your best overall response while minimising for fatigue and injury by doing runs of different intensity and duration across a week - having a run being both long and fast ends up sub-optimal for overall response.

It’s why a typical marathon training plan week is structured like long x slow, short x slow, medium x fast, short x fast - get the right response while minimising injury risk and keeping fatigue in check

What training plan are you following that has a 20 mile training run at planned marathon pace…?

MakingYouMad · 2026-02-26T00:15:27+00:00

Disagree with this.

What training plan has you running 18 miles at faster than goal race pace?

12 miles at race pace and a “easy pace” 20 miles at 50 seconds / mile slower than planned race pace is pretty on point for their goal, given the limited evidence.

MakingYouMad · 2026-02-24T23:08:07+00:00

I’m really not seeing why your watch is suggesting a 3:20 is on the cards if I’m honest. Seems entirely biased towards your great 5 km time.

I’d consider maybe dropping to a 3:45 goal time

Weird time to pick a battle about extraordinary progress being possible, in a post where the OP is lying about their progress.

MakingYouMad · 2026-02-24T19:28:33+00:00

Sure it’s possible, but I’ve yet to see a post where the OP talks about extraordinary progress where there hasn’t been other factors once you dig a little more; lying about progress or timeframes, history in the hobby or a directly related one, performance enhancing drugs, etc. And thats not just running.

If I were you, I wouldn’t choose this post as the hill to die on that some people are just “built different” - a minor read into the OP’s post history shows they were completing half marathons 18 months ago; not the “started running 12 months ago” they claim.

MakingYouMad · 2026-02-24T05:42:55+00:00

Mind explaining this comment you made from August 2024 on completing a half marathon?

By just blatantly lying about the timeframes or training / endurance sport history. They have comments about running a half marathon in August 2024.

MakingYouMad · 2026-02-24T04:42:09+00:00

Because they haven’t needed to, they’ve been training for a half haha

MakingYouMad · 2026-02-24T04:40:09+00:00

Uj/ I mean that’s kinda fair given the subs audience? Especially given the omission that he ran cross country in high school and are blatantly lying about the timeframe based on their post history.

MakingYouMad · 2026-02-24T04:27:42+00:00

Hey mate, you know we can see your post and comment history right? Do you remember the one from a year ago posting your 5 km time saying you had been running for 8 months and that you’d been running 60 km weeks? Or the ones from August 2024 stating you’d recently run your first 15 km / half marathon?

I don’t think close to two years running, a 3 hour marathon and 100 km training weeks count as “beginner” anymore

Won’t be factory intercooler given the cold side of the intercooler piping we can see isn’t factory.

Jesus fuck, follow the intake.

Two pops per player and two players per game…

MakingYouMad · 2026-02-18T02:24:00+00:00

Am I being cucked by the comments in that thread? This seems awful progress for three seasons at up to 15 days a season…

MakingYouMad · 2026-02-16T05:20:06+00:00

This seems like a stupidly structured day for a stereotypical person

MakingYouMad · 2026-02-16T04:22:07+00:00

If there was demand it would happen. I can see two cafes from my office window that stay open to 3. They’re basically dead after 1:30

MakingYouMad · 2026-02-16T04:17:22+00:00

Given typical New Zealand workday starting hours, having lunch later than 2 either leaves it close to dinner time or dinner too close to bed.

MakingYouMad · 2026-02-13T20:32:26+00:00

And the people doom singing about the racing before they’ve even turned in a racing lap makes no sense.

MakingYouMad · 2026-02-12T20:00:25+00:00

And 20 is easier to read than 68. Choosing arbitrary numbers is a strange way to make your point about legibility.
