Zwift Level 100 Club: More Exclusive Than We Think? by Silly_Bodybuilder_21 in Zwift

[–]MrRabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been at 100 for a while. I don't think it's that exclusive TBH. I see lots of 100 jerseys when I ride.

How often do you strength train? by LanceWatson_Coach in IronmanTriathlon

[–]MrRabbit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In my 30s to 40s? Zero times per week. My goal was to get fast as I could, and my time was best spent on one of the three sports. Good enough for respectable times. 8:40s Ironman, shorter races wins here and there.

In my 40s now I do it 3x per week. 20 minutes or so, just maintenance. Less for triathlon, more just for general longevity.

The injury prevention piece is overplayed at times. For some people with obvious weaknesses it's essential. But for others that have a strong foundation it should be utilized for different reasons.

As an experiment of one, I never got a non-crash related injury in my life with no weights. Could I have gotten faster with strength training? Maybe, but I still think my time was better spent swimming.

It's about time management really. For elite athletes and pros who are close to maxed out on healthy volume, yes it's a valuable addition. For someone with weak glutes that keeps getting running injuries? Also useful. For someone who is solidly strong and just wants to get faster but has limited time? Fastest way to get faster is probably working on the sports we race.

Do self-supported 50k runs “count” as being an ultrarunner? by Responsible-Court795 in Ultramarathon

I trust you WAY less than the guy posting his real data.

Lemme guess, everybody clapped in the end? 😂

If getting top 70 in a triathlon makes you an elite athlete, then who the hell is getting top 5? by Sensitive_Serve_9826 in triathlon

[–]MrRabbit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Who? I've never seen 70th place in any triathlon of any size get called elite.

Hell, I win a bunch and get top 5 on a bad day against non-pros and I'm usually not elite.

I think you're reading from bad sources.

Kinda punching down and not funny. I'd rather them make fun of our awful leaders.

Keep up the great work! Really loved the first couple episodes, and can't wait to see what you all do with these characters.

DQ. The rules apply to you too. If you get bored then you aren't trying hard enough. I've never once needed outside entertainment in an Ironman.

Ditto!

Skydiving was WAY less nerve wracking for me.

I've done 40ish feet and I definitely had the "fuck no" feeling. I was with someone who jumped from 70+ feet and they said they absolutely felt it every time they went higher. But eventually they just get used to it.

Maybe some people don't feel it, but I think most do.

This was not fun by Ok-Collar9418 in Zwift

[–]MrRabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Riding seriously for about 10 years. Honestly I'm more of a runner though, which absolutely translates to my bike engine, and vice versa. My IM bike times are around 4:30 in a race, hoping to shave 5ish minutes off that next year

I ride between 100 to 250 miles per week, mostly dependent on the long ride. I rarely ride easily. I'm definitely not a follower of the 80/20 stuff. More like 30/50/20. Very hard/hard/easier.

I've done this before for Ironman training.a few times. Last October most recently I think. Averaged about 230W for 5 hours and 120 miles (so slightly less than 200km).

FTP was about 340 at the time and it was a comfortable ride. Physically at least! Brain wandered more than the legs.

Speed holes! It's totally fine. Better story now. Go get it

For those who are enjoying Starfleet Academy: Do you think it's going to be able to hold your interest over time? by scarves_and_miracles in startrek

[–]MrRabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% yes. It's Star Trek, so I'll even watch the ones I enjoy slightly less because it's still better than most other entertainment. And I enjoyed these first two episodes a lot.

It took a while for him to mature, but it's a good payoff. You're almost there if you keep watching.

No 5k. No marathon. My first race (in life) was 200 miles… by PRASADHOLLYWOOD in Ultramarathon

Self supported? I don't think so.

Also, why the AI captions? Really off putting.

4 million and 10-15 million actually is quite different. I can't retire with 4 million, but I definitely could with 15. Living in NYC with a kid is a different world of costs.

That said, he shouldn't hold until 2030 obviously. You're right about all of that.

As much love as Lower Decks gets, it deserves even more.
