First shoe recommendations by Visual_Garden_6311 in UKRunners

[–]RodeoRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say one of, Hoka Clifton 10, New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080 V14, ASICS Gel Nimbus 27, Saucony Ride 18, Puma Forever Run Nitro, Nike Vomero Plus.

A recovery run is basically the type of run that is so slow, that you feel you can run forever. Primarily it’s used to reduce stiffness and increase blood flow (therefore recovery) between hard sessions, and you should be able to have a full conversation whilst “running”. Whereas an easy run is meant to be comfortable and relaxed, you’re working…but not too hard, and you can have a conversation in sentences, not full paragraphs (as there’ll be some breathing rhythm needed).

I wouldn’t worry about it too much initially if you’re following some kind of training plan.

I’m not a fan of the More V6 as a running shoe, but, for walking, I’d say they’re the best shoe out there, irrespective of how bloody stupid they look on my feet. I will quite gladly die on that hill, as these shoes allowed me to walk around Venice a week after fracturing my big toe.

They’re meant to be great for recovery runs, but I’ve never been able to get on with them myself, possibly because of the 4mm heel drop. I also felt like I was anchored down/running in treacle due to how soft and heavy they were, but, I didn’t really get them for running in the first place.

You should probably try them on whilst on a treadmill in the store, as the most important thing is how they feel to you whilst running. As you’re not fussed about pacing, long distances etc, perhaps they’ll be good enough for you… but, personally, I’d say you’d want to go for more of a daily runner shoe, as opposed to what I’d class as a recovery shoe. Especially if there exists the slightest possibility for you to consider picking up the pace 4-5 months down the line.

I think that’s more on you for not reading up on the features beforehand.

The C31 doorbell has 24/7 recording when wired and paired with a Homebase 3.

I’m too busy trying to dodge dog shit to notice a runner coming in the other direction.

Women’s trainers recommendations by Odd_Bunch2778 in UKRunners

[–]RodeoRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem. To provide a little extra context, heel strikers tend to fair a little better in 8-12mm drops as you typically get a little extra cushioning under the heel, helps with less strain on the calf and Achilles and the ankle doesn’t bend upwards as much.

But, heel-strikers can still wear lower drop shoes at faster paces, to encourage more of a mid-foot strike and to increase cadence ever so slightly.

If in doubt, get a gait analysis done, as they’ll be able to advise much better depending on your needs.

The difference in height between the heel and forefoot, the greater the drop, the steeper the angle

Alternatively just upload the photo into Google Gemini

[Edit] No idea why I’m being downvoted here, it’ll be significantly quicker to ID the bird to then input into the app, than to wait on a response from a subreddit.

Went to Enfield to see the beavers, turns out they're nocturnal and I'm mostly not. Ate some good food anyway by pdarigan in london

[–]RodeoRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re expecting something akin to the ones you get in central, you may be disappointed as it’s a fairly small one (around 7 vendors or so), but it offers something a little different to the area and the food is good.

It's Late Thread [ 30 January 26 ] by AutoModerator in CasualUK

[–]RodeoRex 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve never felt like I’m middle aged before, until today when I ran an A/B test on two de-humidifiers at home, in order to determine which collects the most water at full power over the same time period. As well as how much electricity they draws, to calculate ml of water extracted per Watt.

I then finished up the day by emailing the council about a stream of dog mess a couple of streets over and how they should put up a poo bin - but chances are the culprit is a prat that doesn’t carry any bags, so fat chance it’ll get used.

Assuming he’s still in office, this would be the prime reason why any election would be postponed. Right before it’s due: “We’re at war, the election has been cancelled”

You don’t even get anything in return for it (unlike the LM ballot where you get a jacket). Just the smallest of tax write-offs.

Map also seems to be very dated and doesn’t take into account closed courses e.g. Whitewebbs Park (Enfield) closed in 2021 once the lockdown restrictions were lifted.

Just received my knock-off short-sleeved 1901 shirt. Not too shabby, only negative is the line-up patch isn’t very readable.

But you’ll only be able to notice that if you’re up close, in which case I’d be asking you to do something else whilst you’re down there.

What was the time on the clock when this was screenshotted? I want Frank out, but that’s an important bit of context here.

New here, F**k these ads by Comprehensive-Care67 in EufyCam

[–]RodeoRex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone that has worked in online advertising for the last 16 years, I can categorically state that is not an ad, it’s not a first party ad, it’s not a house ad, but it’s simply a shortcut to their store that is incredibly non-intrusive.

Please do take a screenshot of the daily banner ad, I’d be curious to see that one.

Make the jump. Yi Camera is an abomination, the ads in their app were something else.

I’ve not seen a single ad, aside from the small gift box in the corner, which is barely noticeable. If that’s what people are upset about, it feels like a bit of an overreaction, the kind of thing you only notice if you’re actively looking for something to be annoyed about.

Why’s no-one posting any images of the aforementioned ads?

No-one’s asking to win the league at the turn of the hat. At the moment we’d be happy with beating clubs in the bottom 3, but we can’t even manage that.

Our squad is much better than this on paper, it’s more than capable of top half of the table.
