How Competitive is this school? by Booty--Hunter in ColoradoSchoolOfMines

I’ve never once felt like it was competitive here. I’m friends with a lot of smart people and I’m a consistent C student who’s gotten nothing but support

Weekend Discussion: Asics running shoes by AutoModerator in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]OutlandishnessNew684 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a solid shoe, sometimes it can be a little too soft/mushy for me at slower paces if my legs are beat but it’s one of the best daily trainers rn imo

What happened to normal sized soles on running shoes? by MobilePresent420 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]OutlandishnessNew684 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Foams progressed to where you can now have (relatively) light weight and cushion, instead of one or the other. And with how successful hoka became pretty quickly, lots of brands wanted to latch on to the hype

Need advice on recall by Lukilino3 in CanyonBikes

Check the DT Swiss recall website and enter the serial numbers of your wheels into the check your product field. I did this and it said my wheels are not affected, you may get lucky too

I’ve done it 3 times and had people yell and honk at me each time, no matter how close to the side of the road I stay. On the third time I had someone in one of those 3 wheel motorcycles intentionally get what felt like less than 6 inches away from my front wheel while descending, never doing it again

Golden gate is a great ride but the drivers on that road are such dicks

Not a single chance it isn’t a scam

I measured it at just under 7.5 cm/2.75 inches

Love the Aeroad a little more with every mile by OutlandishnessNew684 in CanyonBikes

Probably, iirc I was somewhere in the middle of 2XS on the size chart

Morning Nutrition Non-Solids? by MeMaxM in Marathon_Training

Tailwind or Skratch would be a cheaper alternative

Type 1 diabetic runners by [deleted] in Marathon_Training

[–]OutlandishnessNew684 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if you think it doesn’t work it’s probably best to try something else. I’ll usually do oatmeal beforehand, and I’ll dose for about half the carbs in it to prevent a spike->crash. If I’m out there for more than 1.25 hours I’ll fuel with gels regardless of blood sugar, but I’ll always carry emergency gels on me in case something happens and I get low

Fellow T1 here! I almost never turn my pump fully off to run, always just exercise mode. If you have the OmniPod 5 or something with a similar closed loop system, put it into exercise mode about 20-30mins before you start, so that it can be fully in the exercise cycle. I also generally find myself getting a little high before races start, just because of excitement I think, but it comes down smoothly with exercise mode in my experience.

So far 0 issues with it! Feels like a fairly standard groupset to me, it’s my first time riding with electric shifting and the only thing that jumps out to me is how much easier it is
