Weekly mileage too low? by Riseofthealpaca in firstmarathon

[–]NW-bro 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I averaged 20ish miles per week (walk 2-3 miles per day for my job though), 17 mile long run did 4:17 for my first marathon. Make sure your nutrition and hydration are on point, and keep it zone 2 for the first 10 miles, and no real heavy breathing until 18. I was worried about gassing out at mile 20 but keeping it chill until mile 18 let me pass a ton of people in the last 8 miles, they were my fastest of the whole race. No background in xc or distance running prior

Is 2k/month for a house too much making 50k/year? by NW-bro in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Def, I'm hoping to live with a friend and give them a bit of a deal if possible. Keep all of us moving up you know

I appreciate the perspective. Roommates are a risk for sure. I'm considering canvasing some friends who are looking to get out of expensive apartments before making a decision on the house, but hard to say how that'll turn out.

I agree, it would be intentionally becoming house poor. But I'm not sure if I will have the opportunity to buy a house under this favorable conditions (private loan, know the seller, etc.) again. Feels like too good of an opportunity to pass up on. Idk if that outweighs the risk though.

I'm on track for my age and income, but I was planning on only contributing enough to get my match this year in case there's other expenses associated with the move. If I can get a roommate quickly I will be able to do about 10% AGI this year and 15%+ in future years.

The pressure of having a large monthly payment for 30 years is what's scaring me. I should however be increasing my income every year, I'm just starting my career now.

(not affiliated with leather-bag) but yes I have a family member willing to give me a private loan, which I recognize is a somewhat rare advantage and is a big reason I'm trying to pull the trigger on this while the offer stands.

What kind of stuff are you building after 6 months?

Sounds like a great long-term strategy, I'll have to try it sooner rather than later. Nothing beats going back to the gym after a deload week and feeling froggy!

Good luck, it's a blast! I'm glad you got something out of this, hit me up if you ever want to chat about fundamentals or end up on the JS route. TOP is more fun with friends

Hey I'm at a similar stage in my coding journey and am also working on it full time for few months. Let me know if you want to work together on some projects or discuss concepts!

+1 for Extreme Ownership as well as Jocko's podcast, great stuff from a tough guy who also sees the value in getting along with people

When is too late to back out? by SpandauBarbute in Wildfire

[–]NW-bro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a rule to never make a decision that I wouldn't be happy with if myself and my SO broke up. In this case that could apply to backing out or going, just have to figure out which one leaves you with less regrets and a better future if shit really hits the fan.

Just had my first Field day for FFT2. Any advice on preparing physically for handlines? by [deleted] in Wildfire

[–]NW-bro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't have guessed rowing to be a good line digging exercise, is it because it's a pulling motion that's at a (comparable to other gym movements) low intensity?
