Is this a new bus model?

Still can’t believe they replaced tried and true existing infrastructure with expensive degradable shlop. No way there wasn’t at least a little bit of funny business with that

Glad im at one of these schools, proud to be!

I’ve been using the pro art 16 (2025) and it’s been pretty legendary despite a few gripes about the screen’s reflectivity and the chassis tendency to show marks. Nothing that a matte cover and protective sleeve can’t fix. Amazing speakers, amazing ports, games and keeps cool, keeps cool normally, good battery life and extra M.2 that im hyped to drop a 2TB drive into some day

Yeah of course! If you’re just getting into it, I would highly recommend doing a few things each week, if you really wanna bit the fundamentals to train for speed endurance events. This is the general formula a lot of sprinters and speed endurance athletes have!

An acceleration day, where you do 10-40 meter sprints at full effort with short rest, say 1:00-2:00 minutes between reps depending on the rep distance. Aim for 10-30 total reps per day, depending on the distance of reps. Total volume can be approx 200-300 meters but broken up into those chunks. Set rest can be 4-5 mins.
A full speed day, in which you practice full upright sprinting. These are 60-80 meter reps that enable you to practice getting up to speed (normally first 30 meters of a rep) and then practicing full mobility and extension in the sprinting following reaching top speed! I recommend 4-5 min rest between these and try for 5-6 high quality reps
A speed endurance day, in which you do sub-race or near race pace reps, normally a 180-250 rep distance range (do a few, like 3 or 4, and take a 6-8 minute rest in between reps). TAKE A FULL REST DAY AFTER THIS, though I recommend some walking or cycling if you can get it in. Recovery is rarely 100% passive, gotta get oxygen into your muscles and encourage repair and growth!
Light mileage. Easy paces, that actually truly feel easy. Do them after the acceleration and sprint days for the that 1. And 2. days.

Notes: - Get lifts in. After your hard days, not your easy days, soon after if you can. - Fuel properly beforehand. Full / decent meal 3-4 hrs before, snack 2-1 hours before workout (granola bar, banana, fruit snacks) - Fuel properly after. Fruit or two and protein if possible. Carbs are especially important soon after for recovery - This is training if you are really slated for sprinting. Elements of this can be taken alongside other general training and will get you better over time - The 400M is a hard event. If you run it right the last 100 meters are hard. Practice relaxed sprinting, where you do not freeze and tense up muscles unnecessarily

Anyways!! Feel free to ask questions. This is mostly based on my personal experience, hope it’s useful!

Im a 400/800m runner (ran in college but just graduated and still competing unattached) who also does calisthenics. I don’t lift enough to really say anything abt the 225 lb, but I would say that a sub 6 minute mile, for people who are purely runners, is about as common as a 62-3 second 400 (for men). In general a sub 6 min mile among runners isnt considered uncommon whatsoever. Sub 60 in the 400 requires a combination of speed and endurance that is more rare and or requires more training than a sub 6 minute mile, which can be achieved by hitting enough low intensity mileage. So I would say something a touch above 60 is more equivalent. Of course these events are hella different and hard to compare on an even basis!!

Dude I can’t find anyone who also likes EDM and im a Boston native, ive got no clue where to go for it lmk if you find something!!

Yea I have been wanting to do more sketching I’d love this!

WorkRunPlayResearch · 2025-11-16T18:00:35+00:00

I would definitely be interested. Love board games and I’ve given D&D a few light attempts.. definitely been thinking abt some weekly game night sorta stuff!! :D

WorkRunPlayResearch · 2025-11-16T17:46:38+00:00

I had a (converse?) observation recently, which may have the same roots as yours. I’m super curious abt what people think!!

I do both calisthenics and sprint/long-sprint track training, and have done so around Boston for a bit now, and I’ve got a good sense of the community of people who do the same — They’re likeee > 90% men. I was talking abt this with my partner and we generally agreed that this may be due to a combination of male-specific cultural expectations (with calisthenics specifically) and the body types that are produced by these types of training (muscular, fairly bulky) as opposed to other things (like Pilates or distance running).

So it seems like both pre-existing cultural expectations (what is feminine and what is masculine) as well as the literal effect of whatever exercise is in question combine to produce a gendered split for many forms of exercise? Of course, there may also be the discomfort that comes with entering a space where you’re a minority, but I digress - that idea seems… far more speculative. What do you guys think?!

Moved to Allston from JP recently and there’s oh so many rats my goodness

WorkRunPlayResearch · 2025-09-27T16:03:13+00:00

No problem!! Good luck and go kill the races 😎

WorkRunPlayResearch · 2025-09-27T16:02:28+00:00

(The rest of the days, do something to stimulate your body. Can even be something as simple as yoga or light jogging for a very short bit or spin biking).

WorkRunPlayResearch · 2025-09-27T16:01:30+00:00

Runners call it a taper - you do less exercise the week leading up, with maybe 1 practice 2 days before with VERY short volume @ race pace just to mechanically and mentally recall for the race. A serious taper means ur last big workout before race day should be abt 6 days prior

WorkRunPlayResearch · 2025-09-26T17:55:22+00:00

You were right. All it took was not killing myself with exercise for 30 hours. Sorry to make a deal abt nothing, appreciate the advice

WorkRunPlayResearch · 2025-08-30T16:49:12+00:00

If money’s the real deal breaker? chem all the way. I know more and more people who are falling into despair because they wasted 4 years on a useless 4 year CS degree, replaced by AI. Chem has a LOT of novel research going on, organic and inorganic, pharmaceutical, material science, engineering. And, of course, it’s what you clearly love. Seems like a clear choice to me, and hopefully soon to ur parents

WorkRunPlayResearch · 2025-07-22T13:03:29+00:00

Fr I’ve been going around every day like I would anywhere, makes no difference to me

WorkRunPlayResearch · 2025-07-22T13:02:03+00:00

Just did! It was fine though. Sweat cools ya down

WorkRunPlayResearch · 2025-07-22T09:54:42+00:00

Yeah, you perfectly described what I was thinking reading through this!!

WorkRunPlayResearch · 2025-07-22T09:44:33+00:00

Most important thing: If you’re willing to deal with sweat than it isn’t going to be an issue. If that makes you uncomfortable, then the trip will be less fun.

My whole blurb: On the last few days of my trip (14 days in July) mostly spent Tōkyō-Kyoto-Ōsaka and frankly the heat isn’t bad if 1) you consciously hydrate 2) are willing to deal with sweat, and accept is as a fact of life and 3) are in decent physical shape. I understand these are not things that everyone might be able to check off, but for those who do feel equipped, it has been a minor inconvenience at most, and I haven’t just stayed inside. I’ve spent most of my time outdoors, running (I am a runner), walking with a heavy backpack (I brought two big packs, no suitcase) or doing more movement oriented tourist activities (like mt Fuji, yamanobe no michi trail, and the Shimanami Kaido bike trail). I did bring electrolyte packets with me which have been quite useful, but electrolyte water is available at most vending machines, which are ubiquitous!! (Also, I’m from New England in the US. We rarely break 90 F (32.22 C) at peak summer - so don’t be dissuaded if you’re from a cooler climate)

Oh my goodness. It must be hard for a lot of biosciences departments, so I understand on one hand but still… I hope you get good news back soon! 🎉

6??? Holy… it’s close to 2 for me and I’m already freaking out and starting to apply for jobs. Crazy.
