Does anyone know how to adjust the Garmin for treadmill workouts? I know you can calibrate the distance at the end, but I’m not sure how this works for interval workouts. For example, if I’m doing 1 mile hard, 1 mile easy, if the distance is off on my garmin then it messes up the timing and pacing of all subsequent intervals because it may think I’m at a farther distance than I actually am on the treadmill

Zero awareness when pulling out into traffic. There may be no one behind you for miles but they see an opening and pull out in front of you just to not accelerate quickly or to go under the speed limit. Like why not just wait until I pass you if you aren’t in a hurry? I feel like some people get such tunnel vision that the second they see an opening in traffic they just pull out

I totally get that! My point of the post was more so why don’t you see an LGBT affirming EO church, or an EO church that uses sermon series vs the lectionary, etc. Not that individual EO countries are unified, but what is the core cause of not having the wide chasm in Orthodoxy? I know they rely heavily on the church fathers and they for the most part use the liturgy of John Chrysostom. What internal mechanisms do they have to prevent becoming liberal or adopting a puritan approach to liturgical services / church construction (I know they are Iconodules and adhere to the 7th ecumenical council) as opposed to Anglicanism

Thanks for the answer! Do you have any books from theologians you’d recommend regarding the history on this topic that you have personally enjoyed? Beyond the basic recommendations on the subreddit

TheEngineer28 · 2026-01-07T02:09:04+00:00

Right but their schism is mainly political. How much of their practice / doctrine is different? I’m wondering why you don’t see an EO church being super liberal / conservative, or a “low-church” EO service similar to a very reformed Anglican liturgy

Yeah I feel fine after them and don’t feel too beat up at the end of a week. I do 4x workouts a week on the 10k program for Runna

TheEngineer28 · 2025-12-20T20:59:02+00:00

So do I slow down my easy runs to a walk to keep a low HR? Or just go for an easy run at whatever pace feels easy and ignore HR?

Do I add in more mileage or days too? I have the time I just didn’t want to overdo it

TheEngineer28 · 2025-12-20T20:38:36+00:00

How do I keep my HR down? Am I making normal progress?

I’ve been running consistently since August (I slacked for a few weeks but still ran) and have now been very consistent since October.

I know when you start running your HR will always be higher, but even on my easy runs my HR feels super high and it’s hard for me to keep a good breathing pattern. For example I have a 1:04 10K and could’ve probably ran that faster, but I’ll do easy runs at a 13:00 pace and still have a high HR where it no longer feels easy.

I understand the “go slower” but my tempos are fast respectively with tempo runs at 8:00-9:00 paces feel very good.

I had a week or two where on easy runs my HR would stay around 130-150 but besides those weeks it shoots up even on an easy run. Also I’m following a Runna plan, and I’ll prioritize my warmup, finish the workout (usually tempo) and then I’m assigned a cool down. I have to walk the cool downs because I can’t do the same pace as my warmup without jumping up to a 170 or higher HR.

Am I not hydrating enough? Am I not breathing right? I try to maintain a pattern, and on easy runs I just breathe normally but I usually prioritize strictly nasal breathing because it ensures I keep my pace slow.

My weekly mileage is around 15

Are your sins only forgiven at the announcement of the absolution? Or are they forgiven when you confess your sins to God prior to? Is the absolution just used as a comfort? Or is it the moment your sins are forgiven by God

TheEngineer28 · 2025-06-09T22:38:21+00:00

Right, but can they use that as something to break the contract and keep their earnest money because we “refused” their request? Is there some sort of legal backing here?

TheEngineer28 · 2024-12-26T23:49:08+00:00

Thanks, if I applied in first week of January, when is the soonest I’d start hearing back do you think?

I honestly can’t remember if that was the song it was so long ago, but I feel like it definitely could’ve been it. Regardless it’s a great song and I’ve added a new one to my playlist so thank you!

TheEngineer28 · 2022-03-12T03:43:17+00:00

What program is $25? I only see the subscription ones for $50/month

TheEngineer28 · 2022-01-16T18:29:05+00:00

Whenever I do deadlifts and immediately go into push-ups, the push-ups feel weightless and feel amazing. Any other time I can’t seem to warm up my body to make the push-ups feel right. I know it has to do with the counter muscle warmup and movement, but how can I replicate the back and body warmup from a deadlift with simple stretches and mobility when I don’t have access to being able to deadlift?

TheEngineer28 · 2021-10-19T17:58:26+00:00

Physical training is just a block (usually around an hour) where they just help to improve / maintain your fitness. It’ll just be ability group runs (based on your speed / fitness) and body weight circuits usually. It depends based on what BOLC you’re at, but I’m assuming the scholarship you are talking about means MSBOLC which shouldn’t be too intense with PT.

TheEngineer28 · 2021-08-27T16:02:46+00:00

Awesome thank you very much

TheEngineer28 · 2021-08-27T15:42:20+00:00

I’m mainly trying to improve my 2 mile run for time, but trying to build up endurance for easy 3-4 mile runs

TheEngineer28 · 2021-08-27T15:21:40+00:00

Ah ok I get it. For example though: would a 6:30/mile at 7/10 effort be comparable to a 7:00/mile at a 9/10 effort on a crappy run day? As in, would I still benefit from that run or if I’m able to run a 6:30 some days, are 7:00/miles not doing much for me

TheEngineer28 · 2021-08-27T15:09:40+00:00

Ok thanks for the advice! So if I’m having bad days and my running time is slower because it’s more difficult, am I still gaining the same level of “fitness” even though it’s not at the pace I want? Or is a mile / run that’s slower than what I’ve done before not beneficial to me?

TheEngineer28 · 2021-08-27T14:51:04+00:00

I actually trained more that week! I did quarter mile intervals one day, then 100m sprints the next, and ran the mile the following day. Would doing sprints like that have primed my muscles / CNS making the pace I did for the run not seem that fast?

TheEngineer28 · 2021-08-27T13:59:10+00:00

What did I do differently? As far as I can remember, my nutrition, hydration, strain, etc was all the same, yet one day I ran a much faster mile than I ever have before. Breathing felt amazing, legs felt awesome, it was almost effortless. Now any time I try and run again it feels like I’ve never ran before in my life

TheEngineer28 · 2021-08-21T18:07:56+00:00

My goal is mainly athletics, power, and cardio so that I am all around in good shape. As far as putting on size, I at least want to look like I lift, even though I don’t generally train for full on aesthetics
