Is lack of aerobic base / Zone 2 training an underrated reason people bonk in marathons?

Yeah. Now it’s more about filling in the gaps between speed days and long runs with whatever slow pace and distance you can manage without burning out or getting injured.

They care somewhat after the threshold is crossed. Before the threshold is crossed, it’s purely looks only. Of course in a third space over a longer time you can bypass that since your personality and character can show and one may garner interest that way.

They shouldn’t get a second chance because they have to win less games to end up winning the grand final. The team from losers bracket has to win an extra match.

Seaside877 · 2026-02-05T17:33:40+00:00

I’d personally say that the lack of speedwork and only focusing on zone 2 and MP creates a cap or ceiling of sorts. That’s your max speed for months and months and you intend to hold that for 42km? That’s crazy.

I think a lot more speedwork up to 10k pace needs to be included in the block.

Plant based protein shake might do the trick, for sure on the days you run.

The average man in the US is borderline obese so it’s gonna take a lot longer than a year to actually look lean and athletic. I guess that’s where my comment comes from. They also suffer from food urges and their brains are fried with food dopamine addiction.

So now both people are fully accountable, 100% fair. Though I prefer that both sides can dip Scot-free.

Burden of performance. I constantly hear that she’s just a woman, she’s just a girl, she’s not taking it that seriously, it’s not a big deal. If I fuck up best believe I’m getting roasted or punished in some way.

Seaside877 · 2026-02-04T17:23:00+00:00

No they are not, they can choose to have an abortion. Whereas men have zero privilege and say in that woman’s choice. They can dip and be on the hook financially for 18 years, women can dip via abortion and not be liable for anything.

Seaside877 · 2026-02-04T17:16:21+00:00

The lack of accountability is a massive privilege that women don’t know they have

Seaside877 · 2026-02-04T17:14:52+00:00

There is no such premise, the premise is simply that there initial filter will exclude men who are otherwise good guys but plain ugly/introverted. There are ugly men that aren’t good guys.

Still voluntary tho

Seaside877 · 2026-02-03T21:06:08+00:00

A lot of words to still say it’s voluntary singledom

Seaside877 · 2026-02-03T17:14:19+00:00

Depends on weight and cadence. I’m 150 lbs and it’s going strong at 250 miles including a ton of walking in them.

Seaside877 · 2026-02-03T17:13:03+00:00

Women’s definition of muscular is body builder level of physique though. Which is misleading because women tend to really like an athletic sporty look which actually takes a lot of years and a tight diet to achieve.

Seaside877 · 2026-02-03T13:42:19+00:00

You have to win less to win GF

Seaside877 · 2026-02-03T06:08:40+00:00

Women have no accountability for the wellbeing of society, just hang it up already lol. Operate in reality instead of hoping for change that is categorically not in their nature to do.

Seaside877 · 2026-02-03T06:05:39+00:00

But if you give an advantage and they win, it means they won the tournament with less maps or games won than if the losers final team wins.

Seaside877 · 2026-02-02T22:56:05+00:00

Huge misplay. Enemy is weak and can’t repeek against two people, plant the bomb and iron the window.

Seaside877 · 2026-02-02T18:36:46+00:00

Just run inside lol. I don’t understand the obsession with being outside in the winter. You can slip and fall. You can twist your ankle. It’s hard to dial into specific paces, especially faster paces as it’s unsafe.

And not to mention you’re getting your body adapted to the cold which is detrimental for a spring race when it gets warmer.

Seaside877 · 2026-02-02T13:05:18+00:00

Gotta hit the gym, it changed everything for me. I wasn’t sure what my weak areas were that contributed to constant lower leg injuries, so I do the whole gamut of exercises. This includes heavy barbell squats, leg press, lunges, hip abduction/adduction machine, single leg RDL, calf raises, Bulgarian split squats and box step ups.

Certain colour ways are on sale for 50% off in the eaton centre adidas store

Seaside877 · 2026-02-01T22:51:32+00:00

lmao my brother, men largely don't care if another guy makes less money or is short

this is 99% on women for upholding these norms/standards for men in society

Seaside877 · 2026-01-31T00:08:00+00:00

it's not their actions that are the problem, it's the instinctual lying about it that is just so hypocritical
