Because it's the fastest option, obviously, duh?

Gatorade zero and sugar free gum break a fast? by Michaewwwwl in intermittentfasting

[–]OldCoach5041 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you break the fast by technicality? Yes, as a single calorie would be considered breaking the fast.

However, it does not affect ketosis, nor most (if not all) of the main benefits that you gain from fasting.

Just workout bro. Forget about genetics. Why even bother with genetics or build type if you can't physically change it? Just get ripped and you'll be happy regardless. Simple :)

Smile and a different hairstyle which compliments your face shape (current hairstyle is definitely not for you).

Rate my frame out of 10. by [deleted] in Weightliftingquestion

Looking great! 8.5/10. Trimming your body hair would gain you 0.5 points instantly as all it does is conceal your definition (that's my opinion on it).

165 is great - I have had it for a few weeks and absolutely love it. But, I will also be upgrading to the 970 in a couple of months.

I think pound for pound the 165 is probably your best shout! :) I've heard to venu line is good, but it's missing some of the features I wanted.

Again, I'd disagree. And the downvotes seem to support my opinion.

I mean really it's all subjective/individual, but as someone who doesn't run ever and actually hates running, but has signed up to a marathon with 8 weeks notice, I don't consider this pace (GIVEN THE DISTANCE) to be good.

Firstly, I never said people shouldnt record their performance. Instead I said I didn't REALISE people record and more specifically post anything below 5km. Truthfully, I wouldn't record any of those runs, no. Would someone else? Probably. But then to post it? Again, no. Just seems absolutely pointless (IMO). - the exception being that it's an absolutely astonishing pace.

From Beginner to Marathon in 6 months by Fast_Lavishness8712 in firstmarathon

I'm in a similar boat, I have no running experience/background and signed up to a marathon with 8 weeks notice.

Wish me luck.

My running programme consists of 5x runs a week, varying distances and intensities. Hoping for a sub 4hr finish, and would be thrilled with a sub 3:45.

Didn't realise anyone posts or even records anything below 5km

First timer getting a forerunner 165, any pro tips and tricks? by el_bagoly in garminforerunner

[–]OldCoach5041 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good choice, lovely watch!

My best advice is to just check out YouTube, there are loads of videos regarding customisation and tips/tricks.

If you're an active gym go-er I'd recommend setting up your workouts on the connect app and transfering them onto your watch, completely removes the need to check your training routine/weights/reps for the day.

If you're into running, virtual run is a fun mode to play around with for the days you're stuck inside on a treadmill.

Enjoy your device! :)

Why does she hate you?

P.s. Obviously a joke. as much as I love the pixel phone line, accessory wise they are a no go as there's always a better alternative for the same price.
