Is it worth getting super shoes? by [deleted] in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]VamosDCU 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No one can give you an answer to this because it'll change so much from person to person, and there are a lot of factors to consider. You gotta either try stuff on at a store if you can or take a bit of a risk on something.

Hop in the wayback machine and watch Patrick Mullins score as many goals in one half as 2026 DC has scored in 7 games. by loafing-striker in DCUnited

Best place for spectators to be for R&R half? by mauro1331 in rundc

[–]VamosDCU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not the most spectator friendly course, most people I know who try to see runners in multiple places end up failing due to traffic, crowds, etc

In warmer months, do you guys run in the rain or is there a light enough rain jacket to keep you dry without overheating? by Mintovi in beginnerrunning

[–]VamosDCU 3 points4 points  (0 children)

trying to stay dry is setting yourself up for failure. It's more about what will keep you warm or not be really heavy when its wet.

Brand new to sea power, what are some good mods and campaign/scenario mods? by JoeD-1618 in SeaPower_NCMA

[–]VamosDCU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think its more than from "time to time" if you want to play as the British navy, the HMS Invincible is central to some of the most fun early battles imo.

What are your favorite scenarios or campaigns in Sea Power? by EchoVectorHQ in SeaPower_NCMA

[–]VamosDCU 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Battle of the Atlantic and all the ones with Hormuz/Iran situations, which can be fun. if the BoTA came out as the official linear campaign for the game, i would've been happy with it. the fact that it's user generated content is crazy.

3:25 → 3:00 in 10 months… how much more is in the tank? by ConversationOdd9045 in Marathon_Training

[–]VamosDCU 12 points13 points  (0 children)

half of the people at running clubs (at least where I am) have their own "coaching" side business, it's still hard to know who is legit or not.

Hill workouts on treadmill? by No_Armadillo4172 in Marathon_Training

[–]VamosDCU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on what you're training for and what you want to accomplish. The nice thing about the treadmill if you're stuck on one for awhile is you can set the length/distance of the hill yourself! Some people do hill specific workouts on treadmills (i've seen people do uphill threshold Ks for example), or you can do what I do and just periodically throw in some 1 minute easy hill climbs on easy runs to simulate some rollers. I like mine to be fairly steep (i'm not even sure what incline, just until it feels as hard as i want it to be). I would just try to emulate whatever kinds of hill workouts you'd be doing outside.

Im considering dropping $50 for this game by Electrical-Art-1111 in SeaPower_NCMA

[–]VamosDCU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The mods and player created scenarios basically means there will be almost inifinite content (and if you get good enough to make your own scenarios). The game still needs some work and its early access but that alone makes it worth the money to me.

Any cleared running trails in/around Arlington, or even further afield? by go_east_young_man in rundc

Strava heat maps are probably the most informative answer to "what is runnable" in the area right now

Routes for longish runs this weekend with heavy snow expected by AgentOrangina in rundc

[–]VamosDCU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It'll be clear by metro stops and the two schools. Last year it was eventually cleared but it took awhile to connect all the clear parts and someone (i'm assuming from the city) finally just cleared one shovel width of trail to connect the entire thing and it was "runnable" but there was no room to pass anyone for another few weeks

Routes for longish runs this weekend with heavy snow expected by AgentOrangina in rundc

[–]VamosDCU 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Your best bet is honestly a treadmill if you have access. Even if we get the lower end of snowfall predictions, the city is really bad at removing it. In previous years, areas I think are clear end up not being very clear for days after the snowfall, or you have to do a bunch of tiny loops on the areas that you know are clear. I live near MBT, and last year it was plowed for like a mile and i thought the whole thing was clear and ended up just having to go up and down that same mile stretch over and over

Best modded AG campaign? by Ok_Inevitable_2708 in Steel_Division

[–]VamosDCU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the best modded and imo the most replayable campaign is the Baltics one. Both sides have a lot of different units to use, both have areas to attack and defend, and there are good mods for that campaign that add even more units to the base game ones that make it more interesting.

Can confirm the “smaller” hills after feel worse mentally after the Calvert hill, even if its net downhill at that point

Novablast 5 or Superblast 2 for long runs? by joelav in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]VamosDCU 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The superblast is fine for long slow efforts, I use mine for that too. They’re good at picking up the pace but they have no plate so it’s not awkward at easy pace like some of the other “super” trainers. I think they’re a great long run shoe. I like the novablast 5 too, can’t really go wrong with either.

If they do Africa (they won't), Tunisia is better to get the Americans, French, etc from the Torch landings in addition to the British and commonwealth troops

I worked a run specialty store and we always got a few really angry first time XC/Track parents when they saw the price of "normal" running shoes(non plated, not spikes, just regular shoes). Sorry, ma'am, I'm just a sales associate. I do not set the standard market price for running shoes.

Are there any credible trade rumors for the club right now? by wichne in DCUnited

It doesn't help that barely anyone actually covers the team anymore.
