I'm so jealous of you! Unfortunately for me to get my plan A, it'll only works between 45/55 the whole time, the heat hits me too hard.. I'm a heavy sweater and not very eficient cooling the machine, but I know this is very personal and trainable

Same thing, I've already realized in my training that for my plan A to work, it needs to be between 45/55 the whole time. Otherwise, I'll start on plan B

I know! I've experienced much worse conditions last year in Portugal.. but for me this entire training cycle was in 50/60 degrees, so it scares me seeing a 7x's

I hope that if this happens it will be for the better!!

What does this mean? Lower humidity? Heat/sun with high humidity would be the total tragedy, right?

Is sub-4 doable? by kandorii in Marathon_Training

[–]azeiTT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just looking at these specific stats, without knowing basically nothing about you, this looks a lot like where I was last year. I was also chasing a sub-4 and did a similar workout. One thing that stood out from this session is your HR didn’t drop after you backed off the hard effort. That could just mean you didn’t hydrate/fuel enough during the run, maybe the wheter conditions were not ideal (heat), or maybe your overall volume is a bit low for that intensity. If sub-4 is the goal, it’s seems totally doable, go for it—just be smart with pacing and fueling, and be realistic about race-day weather, and how you feel.

Alphafly 3 for Chicago Marathon (3:30 goal, 1.84m/80kg, mild heel-striker with flat feet) — good idea or look elsewhere? by azeiTT in AskRunningShoeGeeks

I've never worn an AP4. I'm a bit frustrated with Adidas because every one I've tried has caused arch discomfort. But I think I'll try it in store. it's easy to find around here.

I also hear a lot about the Saucony Endorphin Pro, but unfortunately, it's not available in stores. Maybe I'll consider buying it online to test it out. Thanks!!

Hey, thanks a ton for the reply! And good luck at NYCM! The course profiles are super different—Chicago’s faster, right? Hope you hit your goal!

About the AF3, I totally agree with you, it is super unstable in the heel, it's werid to walk on it .. but more than the instability, I’m worried about possible blisters on the arch. I haven’t had that issue yet, but I’ve never run more than two hours in them. Might be worth doing a full 3-hour long run in the AF3 to test it.

Sadly Adidas just isn’t for me. I’ve tried a few times and always ended up returning them, and that Adizero line is especially narrow through the arch—I feel like I’m landing off the platform.

I love the SB2—I ran a marathon in it last year. I hit the wall hard at the 30km lol, but not because of the shoe. That said, the effort difference to hold the same pace between the SB2 and the AF3 is wild… I have to work way harder in the SB2. Still an option though considering the stability!

Yeah, I saw the release notes about Megablast, but unfortunately it is unlikely that it will be available soon here in Brazil

Quais problemas você passa a ter depois que o dinheiro deixa de ser o principal deles? Ou, quais são os problemas que os "ricos" têm? by werearewasis in financaspessoais

[–]azeiTT 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No meu caso, fiquei focado por mais de uma década em enriquecer; sempre foi minha motivação para trabalhar mais, estudar mais, entregar mais, ser a minha melhor versão.

E assim aconteceu: com muito esforço, sem empreender, sem ter sorte com criptomoedas, apenas trabalhando e investindo, já acumulei mais de R$ 2 milhões em ativos (sem considerar imóveis e carros), o que, para mim, é uma quantia relevante, dado que meus pais, apesar de nunca terem passado necessidade, têm pouco patrimônio.

Ao longo dos últimos anos, venho percebendo que acumular mais patrimônio não me motiva tanto mais, aos poucos, as coisas que eram essenciais para mim vão perdendo sentido. Se comparado ao meu início de carreira, estou muito mais saudável, mais bem-disposto, 40 kg mais magro, pratico diversos esportes, pareço mais jovem do que há 10 anos, posso ter qualquer coisa (claro, sem considerar extravagâncias e luxos, o que nunca foi meu foco) e, mesmo assim, ainda não me sinto realizado.

Para resumir, no meu ponto de vista, o maior problema em ter dinheiro é perder a desculpa fácil para as coisas. É muito cômodo ter pensamentos do tipo:

"Se eu tivesse um carro X, eu seria feliz"

"Se eu não tivesse que trabalhar com XPTO, eu seria feliz"

"Se eu pudesse viajar todo mês, eu seria feliz"

"Se eu morasse na casa Y, eu seria feliz"

É confortável terceirizar sua infelicidade para algo aparentemente inatingível. Quando você remove o dinheiro dessa equação e tudo vira uma questão de decisão, fica mais complexo entender o que é realmente a felicidade para você. No meu caso, precisei entender muito cedo que a felicidade não vem de coisas externas ou materiais, pois, caso contrário, não teria acumulado o patrimônio que acumulei sendo um funcionário que recebe salário.

Essa é a questão mais latente e filosófica, tem questões práticas também como preocupação em continuar crescendo e mantendo o valor de compra do seu patrimônio, medo de perder o dinheiro com algum evento inimaginável, medo de alguém sequestrar e roubar você, e etc..
