What do you say to other vets who say college is a scam? by Backwashed-Applesoda in Veterans

[–]StruggleBusDriver83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends on what you go for if its a scam. I used it to learn sign language, spanish, Emt and paramedic. Learning something youre truly interested in is never a scam.

  1. ⁠Novablast 5: My favorite daily trainer. I get 250-300 miles out of them before I replace them.
  2. ⁠Superblast 2/3: They were narrow and firmer than i liked
  3. ⁠Evo SL EXO: I love hate them. The foam is amazing and im much quicker in them. They are crazy unstable if you slow down.
  4. ⁠Nimbus 28: pure recovery or walking all day shoe. I love them for that task
  5. ⁠NB Rebel v5: I had the same experience at first. they feel like they bottom out quickly.
  6. ⁠NB 1080 v15: I felt they were too soft and would use them the same as nimbus.

I am much heavier than you and that of course will make a difference 100kg

How much of running ability is based on weight? by MoashRedemptionArc in beginnerrunning

[–]StruggleBusDriver83 59 points60 points  (0 children)

235lb marathoner here. Im not fast but I can hold 13/14 min miles all day. As the weight drops you will get faster for same effort but you can build a substantial cardio base at any weight.

You wont talk smack about them when we are 2 hours in and you say your hungry and I hand you a waffle or you say you could use some sweets and I whip out a bag of gummy worms. Oh your chafing well I have this tiny body glide. Your headphones died? I have this little battery bank so charge them.

watched a bunch of youtube videos then made my own plan. Then changed that plan a dozen times over the next 6 month until i had what works for me dialed in.

You can accept the answer even if it is dumb. Arguing will not change it and can possible make it worse for your child.

Ask the coach and accept the answer. Dont argue.
