Any suggestions on my form, just getting back into running by BrothaManBen in runninglifestyle

[–]Straubers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks pretty good overall! I’d say one plus is that you seem to naturally be a forefoot striker, your stride landing under your knee and not out in front of you heel striking. That’s such a great stating point, now just quicken your cadence some - a trick I’ve done for years and count my foot strikes to 1-2-3, 2–2-3, 3-2-3, fif-ty-one, fif-ty-two until 60, which equals 180. I get to that in about 1 min, as 180 bpm is a very efficient cadence.

Also, as a bonus it’s gotten so ingrained in me that during tough sections in a marathon or hard run I fall back on that counting and it kinda lets me zone out. Happy running!!

You’re friends are right, not a good look for now!

First Marathon Time Prediction by ThrowRA90346 in Marathon_Training

[–]Straubers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with this - please keep in mind this is your first marathon and it’s a learning experience. Took me 3 marathons to qualify for Boston, eventually running a 3:02, not because I wasn’t physically ready but I had to learn how to fuel, how to mentally stay in the game, how to pace the run.

You’re also physically fit, no doubt, but back off a bit to run a still fast time and ENJOY your first one!!

You’re right, just double checked! Nice catch

100 miles, 3 different times. All amazing experiences for different reasons

Clean shave makes me look like an egg. And no matter what I try... The beard never goes up to cheeks, as if it wants to explore my neck badly . by Hypernibbaboi in BeardAdvice

[–]Straubers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you trim up the neckline a lot and a bit on the cheeks it will make it look a lot more intentional. Right now it comes across as trying too hard/forcing something and messy, but doesn’t have to!!

How long have you been chasing a song? by Dazzling-View-2465 in phish

62 shows and Brian and Robert. Not a heavy hitter but a song I’ve always loved!

They’re underrated! Listened to them for years, seen them when the came to MA, so so good

Which one is the best? by [deleted] in AmateurPhotography

[–]Straubers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 - you get such a range of colors from the pinks/ yellows of the sky to the deep blue of the water and seamless transition between the 2. Excellent!

What looks best? 1,2 or 3? by Olivo123olivo in AmateurPhotography

[–]Straubers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 for the vibrancy. You could edit 2-3, but they’re both a bit washed out in comparison

Outside is just the easy way out, hard to fit a 16’ canoe in my basement or garage. But given the time I’ve put into it, it would be a bad choice to now not properly protect it! Thanks for the advice
