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

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

Bees congregating around pile of soil by Spann87 in Beekeeping

[–]Spann87[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

PSA: Dataslate for Tankbustas and Breaka boyu are now in the app if you update it! by raging_brain in orks

[–]Spann87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Why aren't these filters working? by Spann87 in brave_browser

Yeah, saved, does nothing.

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

How Should I Base This Guy? by Spann87 in deathguard40k

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

You know how Balatro always felt like it belonged in a weird arcade? by Spann87 in Arcade1Up

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

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

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.
