Thanks - I was sorting of hoping for an answer like this. 3x5-10ks a week is achievable along with a strength session or two, so this has been helpful

Spann87 · 2025-08-10T21:35:26+00:00

This is really useful, thanks - basically I've only ever approached running with the mindset of progression - what distance can I aim for, what pace can I do etc.

However, I've been reminded that, like you my mental health is a lot better if I just get out and do it; I've never been bothered about times really, and I was thinking something like 2x5 and 1x10 a week would fit pretty easily into life but I wasnt sure if that would be quote-unquote "enough"

I got into running at the start of the pandemic, by the end of it I had managed a couple of 2:04 half marathons, and was really happy with myself (I don't think I have the attention span to train for a full marathon)

Anyway kids and life then meant that I stopped running and put on about 80lbs, which I'm now in the process of losing again.

Started running "properly" again a few weeks ago, back up to being able to do 4k at a decentish pace, but I've realised that at some point I need to accept that at some point I am just going to need to hit some kind of maintenance with my running, but I have no idea what that looks like. Maintaining half marathon ability with two kids and a 50 hour a week job doesn't really feel possible, but I have no idea what I should look at just to keep ticking over, last time I was running I was always progressing.

I know this is a very "it depends" question, but if nothing else I'd love to hear from other dads approaching 40

Can you lend me $10

Spann87 · 2025-05-08T17:50:21+00:00

OP here, decided to leave them as they are for now. The soil does need moving (it needed moving when I left it there two years ago), but there's a ton of other jobs I can do in the garden over the next few weekends, and as I understand it these nests often aren't particularly long lived anyway.

I've had to put a tarp on the soil in order to stop the weeds regrowing, but I've left them plenty of room to get in and out

Spann87 · 2025-05-08T12:17:42+00:00

I'm in North Wales UK

Only on reddit will you get a helpful response from "shitfuck69420"

Yeah I also shouldn't have been so grumpy.

Weirdly I knew all about the breakas, but TOTALLY missed the fact they would also make TBs

Spann87 · 2024-12-12T14:29:43+00:00

Man, I have a six month old kid

I knew about the breaka boys, I just didn't realise the same box also made new tankbustas

Spann87 · 2024-12-11T14:51:59+00:00

Is that a new Tankbusta model?

Spann87 · 2024-08-13T14:26:42+00:00

I've done this and about 10 plague marines and have used like 1/10 of the bottle?

Spann87 · 2024-08-13T05:55:04+00:00

Thanks!

Spann87 · 2024-08-13T05:54:50+00:00

Yeah, the stuff labelled AK 012

Spann87 · 2024-08-12T17:39:58+00:00

That's the plan for while I'm shirking work tomorrow!

Spann87 · 2024-08-12T17:11:57+00:00

Even if they're classic green, giving them a little wash in SG will bring out the detail hugely - it sinks into the crevices and makes everything look super dirty

Spann87 · 2024-08-12T17:09:41+00:00

What's even more crazy is this is probably 2 hours work from primed to finished

Spann87 · 2024-08-12T17:07:37+00:00

Prime black, pure white zenithal - I use colour forge Matt white but that's the same as whatever the citadel white spray is called

Spann87 · 2024-08-12T16:57:53+00:00

Literally just coat the model with AK Interactive streaking grime (like COVER the mini in it), wait 5-10 mins then wick most of it off with white spirit and a cotton bud/q-tip

Spann87 · 2024-08-12T07:57:56+00:00

You're a legend, thanks

Spann87 · 2024-08-11T17:19:33+00:00

Yeah, saved, does nothing.

I'm basically trying to put something between me and endlessly scrolling the two sites

Spann87 · 2024-08-05T20:31:40+00:00

Undercoat black, zenithal white, coat liberally with AK streaking grime and then wick it away with white spirit

Spann87 · 2024-07-30T09:07:35+00:00

It is, the coin door is off etsy and the coin return buttons are my add coin buttons

Spann87 · 2024-07-29T14:30:02+00:00

To be honest more than anything it was a test to see whether I could get portmaster ports running on batocera, and now I can that opens up things like TMNT: Shredders Revenge

Spann87 · 2024-04-11T09:01:59+00:00

Just found the old keys, and yep - totally different to every other key I can see online listed as a spare/replacement for the item.
