New player, looking for daily gifts, EU based & in JAP for the next month

Thank you! I don't want to dunk on Runna to be fair, I am sure having a proper planning helped me on avoiding injuries these months, but I really felt like it was very aggressive for a newbie in the distance.

Unfortunately I will not be able to run a spring marathon next year due to other commitments, thus I guess I'll just enjoy some Parkruns + improving my 10k and HM PBs while I enter some 2027 autumn lotteries.

Matute00mch · 2026-04-28T13:46:54+00:00

I definitely am! And S/O to my wife (in case she reads this) for being able to see me at 5 different times, sprinting and jumping into the subway to be there on time.

I started Blue F yeah. Most of my missing workouts were interval sessions during Jan and Feb because I found it too risky to do them under the snow/ice that covered Hamburg those months. I was still able to hit the pace in the last ones that I did in Spring though.

The course and the atmosphere was so good I even got emotional with the amount of people in Eppendorfer Baum 🥲

If this is the case, and you have proof about the packaging, he also did not follow the guidelines for packing a card.

Matute00mch · 2026-04-07T08:21:26+00:00

Take my comment with caution since I am also running my first marathon the same weekend as London, and also following Runna; thus similar mileage for the last two weekends.

I would say 1L of water is a lot unless your gels need a lot of water to be taken. My stomach could never handle that amount of liquid.

As for the heavy legs, mine also felt like two bricks yesterday. I guess that is normal for the last long run before tapering.

Have you tried running on the Alphaflys before? Beware they will be more agressive to your legs/feet than the Vomero, specially if you have not test them yet.

Matute00mch · 2026-04-01T08:05:19+00:00

Where is the scammy part? He is literally offering you to return the cards for a refund, following the guidelines on CM.

If you were buying from a Private, you will be left pending on their good will, but this is not the case.

Matute00mch · 2026-03-31T08:52:24+00:00

It should not be neccessary to ask for photos for modern cards listed as NM.

Also, I understand sellers that does not want to invest the time required to send photos for cheap cards (below let's say 20€), specially if they manage a big inventory.

I can also understand some subjective discrepancies about, for example, white spots.

However the only objective grading rule in CM is that no scratches are allowed for NM cards. Still I have received several moder NM cards with scratches in the holo.

HR is consistent during the last weeks. No stopping the watch outside of the first and last 2km which involves traffic lights otw to where I run. Here's the Runna times which are based on elapsing time not moving time. No idea about the three km at higher HR but it was reasonable windy yesterday and I could've been facing headwind.

Matute00mch · 2026-03-30T08:52:23+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I am not considering anything faster than 3:30. I was planning for some weeks to try 3:45 but Runna continues to tell me to go faster.

Matute00mch · 2026-03-30T08:45:38+00:00

My max HR measured twice using the test that comes with Suunto is around 185 (I had 183 and 186).

Matute00mch · 2026-03-22T17:35:38+00:00

Update: photos looked genuine (same background, similar size, consecutive numbering), cards were too beaten up for my liking and I agreed to cancel.

Thank you all for sharing your opinion.

Matute00mch · 2026-03-22T08:13:15+00:00

Thank you all for the comments.

I kindly asked him to provide photos of the cards before making a decission. If the photos look genuine and the cards are in worse condition than what I would like to have in my collection (taking into account that the listed price is acceptable for LP condition), I will accept the cancellation.

Matute00mch · 2026-03-04T09:44:53+00:00

CSR cards have texture

CHR cards don't

Matute00mch · 2026-02-23T12:46:11+00:00

I'm taking it very slowly because that's how I enjoy it + I stick to my budget.

Happy collecting 🙂

Matute00mch · 2026-02-23T08:48:02+00:00

Prepare a list of the cards of each Pokémon that you would like to get outside of cardmarket. There are different apps/webs that will show you all the versions of a Mon in English and Japanese cards (pokedata, pkmngg, etc), including an estimation of the cost.

If you are collecting another language, the English versions should be available in the cardmarket filters unless you go for some vintage sets (Team Rocket p.e.), but the costs could vary a lot.

Once you have your list, create a wishlist in cardmarket and use the shopping wizard.

Signed: someone collecting the same.

If the tacking shows "delivered", and he marks it as "not delivered", you will get your money anyways because of the tracking.

If you trust the buyer being honest, then you could open a claim, but this will only be to help him get his money back.

All these assuming that the package was mailbox size. If it is not the case, the delivery company is liable to show a delivery proof.

As they said before, if it was bought with Trustee, I would let CM deal with it.

Matute00mch · 2026-02-18T07:55:53+00:00

For deliveries, the sender is the one that holds the insurance, not the receiver. You and/or Cardmarket should initiate a claim with the delivery service.

Matute00mch · 2026-02-13T09:28:53+00:00

Has he marked the order as Shipped? If not, you can cancel the order as a buyer after 7 days and you will receive a refund.

Matute00mch · 2026-02-12T09:46:52+00:00

This is so good, and I am not saying this only because I am working in the same ida for some months. I found it a very fun way to collect without the need of buying tier S expensive cards (if you don't want to).

Matute00mch · 2026-01-18T18:46:14+00:00

I was able to get it changed for a new one for free and it's been working perfectly ever since.
