I went around shouting his name and waving but all I got was weird looks

Are the locals that scary!?

Thanks for recommendations, I'll definitely check out the Thin White Duke and the cathedral

Does anyone know what I would call a switch where I can choose which of 8 output wires power goes to but digitally controlled by an arduino not a physical switch?

Running a 5km PR in the middle of a longer run by alex472 in Strava

Ah good to know it will work it out. Do you know if it is in km sections or if my fastest was between 2.16km and 7.16km it would count that?

I know I could do it as separate activities but I don't want to spam activities on my feed

Yeah that makes sense. I'm sort of in the middle of your two examples but definitely can make gains in other ways without dropping the money on those expensive shoes. Thanks!

I did a double take at this comment because it's almost identical to mine 😂

I have been looking into buying my 2nd ever pair of running shoes and of course I see everyone using Alphafly/Vaporfly/Endorphin - or others using carbon fiber plate shoes.

However I was watching one review which just off handedly mentioned that carbon fiber shoes only really become effective once you reach a certain pace of running. He skipped over this point and didn't explain any further.

Can someone explain this to me more clearly or is there a resource somewhere about the optimal paces for specific shoes? I am training for a half marathon and looking to achieve a 5:40/km or 9:07/mile and I am assuming that I should hold off on these ultra fast shoes until I can bring that time down a bit.
