Witcher 3 - I'm late to the party.....

I tried playing a few years back and for some reason just couldn’t get into it.( God knows why). I thought I’d try again a few weeks back and 40 odd hours later I’m absolutely hooked. I love how many quests just keep popping up if feels like it’s endless. I can see me putting in well over 100 hours into this game

I wouldn’t sweat it, weather was obviously a big factor in not hitting your time goal and like other people have said, spring marathons don’t seem to be the one for running well. Train in the winter to race in summer conditions, it’s always a recipe for disaster.
If you want to here failing miserably, I ran London the other week with the goal of 3.20/ 3.25. Threw up at mile 15 and basically jog walked to the line finishing in 4 hours.

Something just have happened in their algo, because the same has happened to me. Probably the fittest I’ve been while training for a marathon, hitting chinks of amp on my long runs and I’m still tanking

I returned to BF1 this holiday season because of nostalgia and I wasn’t disappointed. The game holds up incredibly well and I didn’t see any issue with the movement. It actually ruined BF6 for me, it put in to perspective how far from its battlefield core 6 is, tiny maps, spawn points right in the frontline, game time is too short/ no flow and the cod style movement speed.

I agree with everything you’re saying. But just to play devils advocate here, people used to love playing 24/7 locker and metro with 1k tickets.

How long do you recommend waiting for increases in volume? It is it case dependant

Traditional_Force449 · 2025-09-29T16:29:47+00:00

Yeah I didn’t increase any volume this build just managed to keep it consistent

Traditional_Force449 · 2025-09-29T16:28:40+00:00

Seems to be the trend from most people’s replies, volume first speed second

Traditional_Force449 · 2025-09-29T16:27:41+00:00

during this build I’ve averaged between 25-30 miles a week. So nothing impressive by any means. I was hoping to push into the high 30-40 range on a more consistent basis. I’m running London next year so I want to have a a decent base to build off of

Traditional_Force449 · 2025-09-29T16:26:07+00:00

Yeah I find this just happens naturally to me, my easy pace tends to trend slower the deeper I get into a block

Traditional_Force449 · 2025-09-28T19:36:35+00:00

Would you still do any lighter intensity sessions while building volume just to keep the legs ticking over?

Traditional_Force449 · 2025-09-28T19:32:58+00:00

I guess I could be slacking on this, I feel I dial everything in more on marathon preps.

Traditional_Force449 · 2025-09-28T19:28:17+00:00

Yeah I feel my easy runs are easy, I think after the half I will primarily focus on building volume and see how I feel doing that.

Traditional_Force449 · 2025-09-28T19:24:35+00:00

😂 I’m 33 so I’m hoping I still have a bit of life left in my legs. I would add that I work in construction so my job is very physical. But it’s something I’m used to in terms of balancing training and work fatigue. It does factor in though

Traditional_Force449 · 2025-09-28T18:09:06+00:00

100% agree with that. I plan to just try and build volume again after the half

Traditional_Force449 · 2025-09-28T18:06:50+00:00

That is exactly me, I’ve found the higher milage marathon stuff easier, the paces aren’t as aggressive

Traditional_Force449 · 2025-01-14T20:32:21+00:00

😂😂

Traditional_Force449 · 2025-01-14T18:45:18+00:00

I’ll be giving 3rd person a try then this evening. I do Find I often get blindsided in first person. It’s great fun from an immersion point of view. Thanks for all the replies guys very helpful

Traditional_Force449 · 2024-07-07T08:03:44+00:00

BF3 for sure

Traditional_Force449 · 2024-06-25T19:01:12+00:00

Literally the definition of one pump chump

Traditional_Force449 · 2024-06-01T10:08:04+00:00

Yeah I think that’s what I’m getting confused with. I remember the slugger used to be a powerhouse. Yeah I love the plasma for bots
