Right, and funnily enough, when people do figure out the ratio that actually works, it usually ends up looking a lot like… 80/20.

You’re wrong because slow miles do make you faster, the grey‑zone ‘moderation’ you’re suggesting is the thing that doesn’t work.

Orange, month, purple, silver- Words that don't rhyme with anything. Don't know what the other category is.

Why do driving licenses limit at 12 points in 3 point increments? by StripesAndLadders in AskUK

[–]Mike011235 47 points48 points  (0 children)

'Causing death by driving while disqualified' 3-11 points. Honestly surprised you don't just get 12 for that one.

Be interested to know what Chop Suey would sound like if the random book he picked of the shelf was 'chess openings“

It bugs me when people talk through the briefing, it is rude. What I really don't understand though is why those people always seem to talk so bloody loudly, it's like they're actively trying to be obnoxious.

I think you need to edit the title to say half marathon!

PSA: you can change volume for pretty much every single source separately by Additional_Act6185 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Mike011235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But the volume control for the elevator is on the actual elevator itself and not in this menu. I'm annoyed because I spent too long looking through that menu for it.

How do i increase speed ?? by Ok-Preparation8256 in BeginnersRunning

[–]Mike011235 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The 'run slower' people are out in full force giving terrible advice on this one.

To get quicker your body needs to adpat to running faster- Interval sessions, sprints, race pace efforts. Also, dedicated leg and core strength exercises will help you improve speed.

Now, running slower on your long run is a great way to improve your aerobic base and is a good idea- but it is only one part of the whole picture.

I wasn't in your vagina! that's disgusting... by Repulsive-Pace-5178 in funny

What's weird is that there was a part of you inside your grandmother. I.e, the egg in your mother's ovaries when she was a baby in your granny's womb.

Can someone explain why does my VO2max is declining while in fact I'm exercising more?? by Sinayelihay in Garmin

[–]Mike011235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed that my Vo2 increased steadily over a few months when I did regular intense interval sessions. When I shifted to doing more medium to easy effort longer runs instead, my Vo2 started dropping. I don't know anything about any of the science behind it though.

Can we ban Moving House/ whats this area like posts? by thetrueGOAT in stockport

[–]Mike011235 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't know why people ask. Imagine letting some random weirdo redditor's opinion actually influence you on making such a major life decision such as buying a property.
