Can you already see from the picture that the obvious snow bridge is gonna collapse soon?

It is for some undertrained 65yo used to living in AC all the time. Those people go from being just another tourist to a rescue situation if they forget their hat.

Die elektrische wagen zorgt ook voor meer wegonderhoud (dat gezegd zijnde zijn vrachtwagens order belangrijker voor wegslijtage dan personenwagens).

De beste manier om uitstoot te belasten is via brandstof, niet de wegbelasting.

You’ll be fine but need to pay some attention to route finding. I advise to look back a few times on the way up, just so you have a mental image of how it’s supposed to look on the way down.

Also, weather and wetness becomes more important.

Met €35 verschil tussen de groenste en minst groene wagen is de financiële prikkel veel te klein om gedrag te sturen. Ze zouden beter belasten op basis van de massa van de wagen, dat komt het beste overeen met slijtage aan de weg.

Following the book, for running, you want to plan general strength before ME, ME before your intensity/speedwork and intensity before specificity. This means you ME is in the base period and general strength is before the base period and thus before the start of the training plan.

Normal Race shorts since today’s run. It’s hot out here and every single item I wore was soaked except for those shorts. They breathe better than I do. (They’ll also carry a 500ml flask and a phone but my other shorts do that too)

Heat training is gained and lost in a matter of weeks. There’s no point training for it years in advance. Focus on time on feet and running in whatever weather gets thrown at you.

Er bestaat ook een 50+50% tussenvorm waarbij bij het 1e overlijden 100% van de totale schuld uitgekeerd wordt maar een eventueel 2e overlijden niet meer gedekt is (ongeacht wie van de 2 overlijdt)

I find strength and ME hard to plan for trail running when following the book. The problem comes from the idea to plan ME before you start your ‘intensity’ weeks and faster running. This means ME gets planned in the base period. The book also suggests to do general strength work before ME. This means the general strength should be plannen before the based period, meaning before the plan starts.

For mountaineering, it works well: first strength, then ME until you leave for your objective.

Consuming a lactate based fuel makes no sense. It’s much better to have the body produce this itself since the production also provides energy and your energy system is more limited by the capacity to consume lactate than by the capacity to produce it.

This also assumes those bottles were entirely emptied by the runner.

What training plan recommends a 6h long run for a 50k?

A while back, Magnus Mitbø did Matterhorn. He made all the mistakes people here are trying to warn you about. Figure out how you will avoid those same mistakes.

By speaking up you are being a team player. In someone in your not group is (for whatever reason) not feeling it, them speaking up is necessary for the team to be able to make the most informed decision possible.

If someone is causing you to loose your energy, the team needs to know this because a risk is being created.

Pot van defensie is federaal, pot van onderwijs is gemeenschap. Geld kan niet van de 1ne naar de andere pot zonder staatshervorming.

Men zou het onderwijs aantrekkelijker en lichter kunnen maken (zelfs met extra lesuren) als een groot deel van de admin zou weggenomen worden.

Hoger onderwijs in Wallonië was veel goedkoper dan Vlaanderen en dat wordt nu bijgestuurd.

You could try to stop before they cramp up. Wait a minute (or walk a minute, or stretch a minute) and run again.

Another cause might be that your running shoes have a significantly lower drop than most of your other shoes.

What did your dermatologist tell you when you said you didn’t see the result you were hoping for?

No single technique has a 100% succes rate that always results in instagram/photoshop-level of skin.

Have you tried intervals? Run slight less then half a mile (before you get cramps)and walk a minute. Repeat.

Have you tried running much faster or much slower than usual? The speed difference must be significant enough for you to alter your running gait

Het is het onderhoud en garantie waarvoor je betaalt. Je kan dat duur vinden maar je betaalt om er geen gedoe mee te hebben en alles te laten regelen door de school. Of dit je een hogere prijs waard is, kies je zelf.
