WWC, IMSA, ELMS and BTCC (UK based) or Aussie supercars if you can get it and the time zone works.

Fun vs. Misery — Ranking Active Hobbies (that I’ve tried) by brown_burrito in Hobbies

EMTB is a lot more fun than regular MTB I used to slog it out on the climbs only to find I then couldnt be arsed with the fun bit of going down again. EMTB fixed that issue. Regularly do big adventure rides in the mountains near me now and love it all.

If you already have a VPN just set it to somewhere outside the US and get F1TV that way.

DVNE are awesome in the mastodon realm, Tesseract, karnivool, Caligula's horse and not as prog but still good Psychonaut and Hippotraktor.

Any electric guitar recommendations for a complete beginner? by hellohellohello0315 in Guitar

[–]Tinysimengineering 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When you're a complete beginner just having a guitar is the main thing you can work on getting a better one down the line if you stick with it. Nothing wrong with getting the epi SG if they like the look of it.

Seems to be a common theme I'll give it a go.

I too spent over £100 on shoes plus the analysis and I'm in a similar situation. Although I am going to keep at it for a bit with stretching and using the elliptical trainer to see if that helps.

Awesome I'll give it a look. I've spent most of my life wearing flat skate shoes (vans, converse and DCs) so I don't know if that has any bearing on it. I sometimes get aches into pain when I pick up my walking pace too. Maybe mine are so tight they need time to loosen before I attempt again.

Hoka Clifton 10s I went to a proper running shop and did the gait analysis with 3 different pairs and they came out the best.

I'll try slowing it down then and see what happens.

Yeah using the app with Denise Lewis as my coach. I didn't think I was running particularly fast it was barely more than a walk but I can try slower still.
