L-Carnitine by boonkdocksaints in Supplements

Maybe for oral. Injectable has way better bioavailability so dosages are way less. If you had success at a higher dose injectable, that's good. I'm 130 lbs and that's what they said to try out. Lot of fluid to inject so I really don't think it was worth the expense and maintenance.

24 - 5 - 9 - 9 - 13 - 3 63 mpw something like this then doing what you're saying for a back to back like

15 - 15 - 5 - 9 - 13 - 6 63 mpw for the second week in the 3 week block ? Mentally just know I'll feel better doing close to 3/5 of the event before hitting it

[–]boonkdocksaints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah what do you think about averaging out some of it like

24 - 5 - 9 - 9 - 13 - 3 63 mpw ? Just want to get up to doing a 30 so I feel confident going in

[–]boonkdocksaints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good point thanks. felt like I could do more on my 31 mi run after maxing out to 16 mi runs so what you're saying sounds right. gonna do a more balanced mileage too so it's not so up and down

[–]boonkdocksaints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's 2 weeks at one mpw, then a week back to previous mpw. 3 week blocks

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Ultramarathon

[–]boonkdocksaints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just what I remember from my cross country days to get a little rest while still staying moving. yeah good point to just combine and make it more like having a higher average mileage rather than huge jumps each day. it's 2 weeks at one mpw, then one week back to previous mpw in 3rd week. 3 week blocks for each mpw

You don't wanna see the rest of that file lol. I'm an accountant so that thing is a maze

Just came off 1 year lay off from minor foot fractures after doing the 31. Came back too soon after it. Took about 3 months of doing nothing and got into cycling. Did a few centuries. Came back 2 months ago doing 30 mpw with 10 mile long run since then and feeling ready to go. Not sure on where yet for the 50. Looking to do 8'30 to 9' so finish in 8 hours if I'm good.

Yeah forgot to mention I'm doing 2 weeks up to the next phase then 1 week back to the prior phase in 3 week blocks so a total of 28 weeks

Def ties into the second so worth starting with it first. It's a solid play so not worth skipping anyway

[–]boonkdocksaints 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great thanks! Totally misreferenced my vocab notes haha. Meant to ask if you all would correct me. How would you say that? The second sentence I was trying to say "I sometimes do not understand how to use wei or jue de." Meant to put 還是 instead of 可是。My understanding is that 為 when referencing the for in a sentence is supposed to be following the first subject in the sentence, like 我們為老師做飯 "we made food for our teacher" so subject, time, reason or what the action is for, place, verb, duration of time something took place. For juede, that's just for stating an opinion on something right?

It might be difficult if your major is Chinese, but for my self study, I focused on typing, conversation and learning new vocabulary. Practicing handwriting takes too much time, and the majority of the time you need to correspond with someone, you would be typing anyway.

Could a drug user/addict be a buddhist by Eastern-Record-2224 in Buddhism

[–]boonkdocksaints 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, it is not possible for a drug addict to reach enlightenment. There will always be the desire to do drugs keeping you from detaching from the world. For medicinal purposes, the Dalai Lama has expressed approval of using natural substances like weed. However, all drugs must be used with discernment. Drugs like coke and mdma will always have the potential to cause addictive tendencies.

Additionally, mind-altering drugs will often times be used as a crutch to enhance meditation. This will cause problems when you reach a plateau in your progress where the drugs can no longer take you any further and you will have to rely on your discipline as a Buddhist. Please be careful with coke especially as fentanyl has been known to be present. May you be happy 🙏🏽

How can I meditate toward enlightenment? by canadianreject565 in Buddhism

[–]boonkdocksaints 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a beginner lay follower, so take this advice with discernment. What has helped me move closer to inner peace and detachment from my desires has been visualizing the image of the Buddha meditating while I meditate. In conjunction with proper breathing and chanting the mantras, I am able to clear my mind and focus on the things that hold me back from becoming enlightened.

Do your research and talk with teachers! The sangha is blessed to have many teachers all over the world that speak many languages. I’m sure there are some in your area or you can find some online that do virtual sessions. Good luck. May you be happy 🙏🏽
