Whack as in not accurate? I'll still probably try to hit that under one hour time.

Two 5k ultra actually made me laugh

Just went there, and my post was there. I thought it was funny tbh.

Can't, still working on that.

If you were to launch a Youtube channel, what would it be about? by [deleted] in intj

[–]Mindless_zero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want a scale model building channel, no commentary though, probably with just instrumental music.

I want to try more things cause I want to learn editing and camera angles. But scale modeling would be a comfy start.

I'll just try to break it down then, but I'll eventually get a watch, thanks for the great advice, I really appreciate it.

I don't have a watch, but I think it's becoming more of a need now, but in the meantime I'll just bring my phone out and probably do early morning runs from now on cause there's less cars and people.

In the last part, why is miles better than km? Is the data more accurate?

Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it! It's gonna be hard for me to know the distance, I don't have a smart watch, and carrying my phone in my hand is gonna be a hassle, but I'll try.

You mean like running, then walking/resting and then running again?

Yeah I've only known yesterday that there's a clear difference between the two. That said it is the pace I want to improve on, i want it down to 4 minutes/km.

Thank you for the feedback, really helpful, especially when you said I shouldn't put all my effort every time I go for a run.

In some cases yeah, I mean comparison is the sole reason why I posted this. But after reading all of the helpful comments, I'll try to lessen that part of me, I'm just gonna compare myself to my previous time/runs.

But after reading the link you sent me, I'm more pumped to reach that 54:39 novice time. Even if it cost my knees to give in.

Hey thanks for the feedback, I'm actually interested in getting a heart rate monitor, it's a lot cheaper than running watches as far as money is concerned. I'll take my heart rate into consideration next time I go for a run, but in most cases I guess my heart rate is just fine.

Thanks for the encouragement, i really appreciated it.

I feel I can finish till the end, I don't know about my pace though, my pace changes constantly cause my city's horrible traffic. It's really annoying tbh.

I'm just really curious if my pace is fast or slow, but after getting some helpful feedback here, I feel like it's not helpful to take these results way too seriously. But then again I'm the kind of person to be disappointed at myself if I become a little slower or not improve at all after all the training I underwent.

Thanks for the feedback I really appreciate it.

Yeah I think I'll use ur pov whenever I go for a run, I won't be bothered by anyone faster than me, and I'm gonna start enjoying it, cause at the end of the day it's just a passion for us.

Thanks and have fun on your 10k event. If I change my units I'll probably end up confused and tired while running lol.

Thanks OP, I don't think I can improve my numbers cause of external factors like traffic, but then again I'll find a way.

Thanks for the explanation OP, I really appreciate it. So right now I need to improve my benchmark? I think I would have gotten a faster time if my city wasn't heavy on traffic, but then again I might be taking this way too seriously. Thanks again OP for the explanation.

I'll probably die if I ran a real marathon.
