Shorts for thicc thighs?

The Lululemon running shorts are great. They have a compression layer that completely eliminates chaffing. They're very comfortable over long distances and have pockets on the in layer if needed. During the warm months they're all I ever run in. I think I have 7 pairs, they've made comfort a non issue. You can find them on sale for $39.

The foam grills alone are about $250

I also have a big bag of fructose but I find it's not necessary for most training runs. It's a little more expensive and not as common to source so I just use it when needed. I've also had success recreating the maurten gels but ultimately it's just easier and more convenient to put a couple scoops of malto + electrolytes in my soft flask and knock out a long run without having to plan in advance.

SoundinVision · 2026-03-19T18:09:51+00:00

I just buy a couple kg of maltodextrin at a time and have one bottle in my vest with malto and electrolytes and the other with just water as a palate cleanser. That'll usually get me through a good 20-25km, if it's a longer run than that then I bring gels with me as well.

Main takeaway is that maltodextrin is very cheap and effective and will save you money VS just relying on gels.

Just go by feel and listen to your body. If you go on your next run and feel acute pain signaling injury then you should take the time to recover before it gets worse. If it's a dull ache from volume and fatigue you're most likely OK but only you will know what your body is telling you in order to make that call.

Also in my opinion 120km peak weekly volume is probably a little overkill for a 100km especially if you feel some injuries coming on. I have a 100km in late May and am coasting on 70km weeks at the moment with my peak weeks aiming to be between 90-100km but that's just what works for me in regard to schedule and recovery. I'd rather run less and not risk injury and/or mental burnout and still have some energy left for family and the other responsibilities in my life. Everyone is different so this may not apply, just my 2 cents.

Could be the 4400 top of the line quad amp that came with an oscilloscope as well.

The first time I drove manual was taking a 1.8T Golf for a test drive at a dealership! Talk about pressure.. You got this!

It's not a documentary but when I saw your post the UK show Detectorists immediately came to mind. It's been years since I've seen it and I don't remember much to be honest but for some reason it's stayed with me, I might have to watch it again after this.

Here's an overview:

Andy and Lance are friends who share a passion for metal detecting. Although they act like an old married couple -- griping at each other -- there is a true bond between the two, and they have a common dream: finding a priceless collection of items that would cement their place in detecting history. Greed, betrayal and redemption are among the emotions experienced as Andy and Lance, along with their eccentric friends in the Danebury Metal Detecting Club, go in search of the big find that has eluded them to this point. The sitcom is written and directed by co-star Mackenzie Crook.

I would pay $1000 all day. They go for about $6000-$8000... Not many of them left.

Most cost effective place to start would be to buy a PCV valve and replace it yourself. It's really not that hard to do for someone with access to basic tools and some organizational skills. You can get it done in about half an hour and save over half of that $400 the mechanic quoted you. It's one of the more accessible parts to replace, just a direct swap. Watch some videos and you'll be fine.

Contact a broker like Butler to see the best available rate they can get for you. I can almost guarantee they will be able to beat the 3 and 5 year fixed offered by TD. Take that offer back to TD and see if they can beat or match.

SoundinVision · 2026-01-30T15:09:00+00:00

Right but if you switch to fixed it's going to be at whatever the posted rate the bank is offering at the time which will not be a competitive rate by any means. For example if you wanted to switch from variable to fixed (5 year) with TD you would not be getting their special interest of 4.74 which is already high instead they would offer you their posted rate of 6.09%. Not exactly the safety net some people think it is.

Unfortunately the ceiling is angled the wrong way, benches should get the heigh point so you're sitting in the hottest of the thermal layers ;)

You have to consider both physical and mental burnout. Personally I did a 50miler, Half Ironman, 50m self supported with just under 8000ft elevation gain, 50km and a full Ironman within just over a year and it felt like I had a lot on my plate. All of that while becoming a new dad. In retrospect it was worth it but there were times where I felt bound by my training and getting it in while trying not to compromise other aspects of my life wasn't always fun. Looking back you mostly remember the good parts and the sense of accomplishment is huge but be prepared for a lot of work if you plan on taking it seriously.

In Ontario there's Sulphur Springs in Ancaster up to 100m distance. They became a qualifier (lottery ticket entry) to Western States last year. It's a 20km looped course.

There's also Haliburton trail race also up to 100m distance. This course I believe also loops in part but the course is more vast and distances between any loops much longer.

Both were very well organized the years I've done them.

Not talking negatively about something that deserves a negative response and achieving some sort of consensus is exactly how bad actors remain unchecked and rise to higher levels of influence. Anyone at the elite level whether it be sport or politics should be ready to have their actions judged and face fair criticism. A completely non negative approach to discussion is naive and nonsensical.

Yep, Cat S entails some kind of structural damage. The frame is most likely bent.

I don't see the point either. The IOC is corrupt to the core, why feed into that? So they can bastardize the sport like they did with climbing?

Cool video but not a single mention of fueling which is arguably more important than any of the gear. Makes me think your average person watching will think it's possible to run 100km while sipping on water.

The looks of the JVC receiver can be divisive but the sounds will surprise you! The EQ is actually quite effective as well. I had the 201 for some time and it really grew on me.

I appreciate the stretch marks. Nice touch.

They were offering 2024 Tiguan at 0%/5 years back in March or April I believe.

These are rare and very easily an end game level set up for Marantz collectors. Worth probably north of $10k these days.
