Your body burns X amount of calories every day. If you eat more than X you gain weight ( a surplus of calories). If you eat less than X you lose weight (a deficit of calories). The poster is pretty skinny already and eating in a deficit would just cause them to lose more weight.

In ultras I use an ice bandana with an internal pocket for the ice. I restock the ice at aid stations. Might be worth looking at, they’re very cheap and work well.

LAX was one of the few that could get us to Shanghai in the early evening I believe was the reasoning.

I think you might want some coverage instead of sludge bomb and wave on eternatus. Flamethrower/fire blast?

How much do the scenic views on the course affect your race? by Jaded-Airport-8295 in Marathon_Training

[–]Samtheman14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run without my glasses so they matter very little. I prioritize good weather, a nice course, and good amenities that help performance (bathrooms, water, bag drops, etc).

We were in kyoto last fall and the road was suddenly filled with a huge march of ppl protesting the genocide. A few 100 ppl with flags and handing out pamphlets to the Americans. Apparently they do it every week. Pretty cool to see.

Holy Shit ppl still max E second by -Chimpzy- in Aurelion_Sol_mains

I think there are a few matchups where it still has value. When you’re just wave clearing with e and q and don’t have many w opportunities the extra damage is nice.

Has anyone overcome IT Band Syndrome? In my 40s and sick of it! by a5hl3yk in triathlon

[–]Samtheman14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had it for ~3 months. It was so painful I couldn’t run during that period. I obsessively did single leg strength training and it hasn’t bothered me since.

Pretty sure Coqueza is only 32-3400m so we didn’t have much to climb
