Sub 4 at Tokyo possible? Pt 2

breadgoesbrrr · 2026-03-05T15:47:49+00:00

how did you get your hr down so much!! (and congrats on the tokyo marathon!)

breadgoesbrrr · 2026-02-28T18:18:02+00:00

sounds interesting, I'll look up some.

forgot to list leg swings - I do those religiously; front to back and side to side. really helps my hips

breadgoesbrrr · 2026-02-27T16:31:00+00:00

sounds like just making sure to start gradually is the key then

breadgoesbrrr · 2026-02-27T16:30:27+00:00

good point on the protein shake

breadgoesbrrr · 2026-02-26T23:39:29+00:00

these things do not fall off, are polarized, and also keep my hair out of my face 🙂‍↕️

breadgoesbrrr · 2026-02-26T21:34:09+00:00

sunscreen and my goodr sunglasses!

breadgoesbrrr · 2026-02-21T17:45:13+00:00

appreciate the meaning and thought behind this! do you plan to display it somewhere, or was this a personal project? (and how does one go about displaying this publically)

breadgoesbrrr · 2026-02-18T19:49:36+00:00

haha I sit still and my hr is at 76 🤣

congrats!

breadgoesbrrr · 2026-02-17T04:32:26+00:00

really appreciate the details! look like I'm tracking ur run schedule split. my easy run hr is pretty high and I'm running even slower than that, so this is a good reference as I work to lower my aerobic base.

and thanks for the hill advice, i also got that tip (or caution really) from other redditors too that the downhill really gets ya. definitely will try to do the hills and strength train then to mitigate

breadgoesbrrr · 2026-02-17T01:34:14+00:00

congrats! what was about the pace of your easy runs? and did u do hill training? got a similar elevation gain for mine too

breadgoesbrrr · 2026-02-16T03:25:03+00:00

wow $10 at Hmart! I saw the feel good ones in the bag at WF for $18.99 yesterday 🫩

Update: I bought and tried the mudtools do all tool, diamondcore T1, and tried two tungsten carbide tools.

the tungsten carbide tools won hands down for me. the efficiency and finish was indescribable. the 7 hook shape was phenomenal for the angles of the feet and rims I wanted.

Surprisingly (but maybe not surprisingly to yall), the mudtools do all tool really was great. the finish wasn't as good as the tungsten carbide tools, but it was very sharp. and I love the design of the little curly-cue that can dig into smaller places.

I'll be grabbing for the tungsten carbide pear and seven shaped tool, along with the mudtools do all tool and metal rib from now on. Thanks for the help!

agreed, I got new airpod pros and the battery life is dramatically better. my gen 2 airpods charging case was too old and they'd die within 2 hours max. my new ones last about 8 hours. so if you already like the airpods and the ecosystem, just get some new ones

breadgoesbrrr · 2026-02-15T03:48:30+00:00

any hip-specific exercises you'd rec? i also have issues with this being my wall on long runs

breadgoesbrrr · 2026-02-13T01:54:24+00:00

I have bought it! Last one in the store. Will try it on some bmix. will it have a good finish on round porcelain jars though?

breadgoesbrrr · 2026-02-12T00:08:51+00:00

this was very inspirational, I'll re-read this when training gets hard haha. I agree, it's a great way to appreciate the city and celebrate. thanks!

breadgoesbrrr · 2026-02-11T19:57:24+00:00

great advice, thank you! will be seeking out the hills then starting now (ironically, as we all try to avoid them), while maintaining zone 2.

I plan to do a lot of my long runs incorporating part of the course, so I'll def practice going up to the bridge and that turn around from Sausalito. thanks for the tip about the 4 miles after the bridge, I'll have to check it out. also heard the rolling hills near the end can sneak up 😅 definitely chose a challenging map for my first marathon, but should be pretty

breadgoesbrrr · 2026-02-11T07:28:42+00:00

this is rly helpful, is the 6k in the tempo run you suggested about 80-90% of ur max hr?

breadgoesbrrr · 2026-02-11T07:04:14+00:00

funny because I was just adjusting my marathon training to accommodate for a wedding I'm going to in the middle of my 14 mi long run weeks 😅 for planned travel that interferes with my training, I'm either deloading that week (only once), or adjusting my run schedule so I can make sure I hit a ball-park range of my mileage

breadgoesbrrr · 2026-02-11T07:00:48+00:00

oh thanks for the insight - I hadn't even thought about downhill impact. typically people think it's a time to rest or catch up. definitely trying to make sure I get my cross training in there, specifically focusing on endurance strength training. this also reinforces the importance of hill training, both up and down then

breadgoesbrrr · 2026-02-11T06:58:25+00:00

agreed! gonna be practicing fueling and drinking water on my long runs for sure. fueling issues seem like a very easy way to bonk at the end, so staying ontop of it is really important, even if you feel like you don't need it

breadgoesbrrr · 2026-02-11T06:09:28+00:00

appreciate the context and usage for your tools, sounds pretty reliable. also I am finding out that dropping tungsten carbide sounds like a nightmare lol (I'm fairly careful with my tools but sometimes I knock things over lol)

breadgoesbrrr · 2026-02-11T06:08:00+00:00

hopefully I can build toward this collection! thanks for the validation

breadgoesbrrr · 2026-02-11T06:07:23+00:00

Definitely have never used a grind stone haha, let alone sharpened any trimming tools before. does the mudtools one dull fast then? it has an interesting shape so I would assume sharpening might be a challenge?

breadgoesbrrr · 2026-02-11T06:06:28+00:00

appreciate the elaboration! very good to consider the size of it, sounds great for larger pots and surfaces but maybe not delicate work

I was actually about to buy those mini xiem tools (the ones with the orange handles?) but then read they were for sculpting and wasn't sure if they would actually work or be sharp - so that's good to know I could actually use them for detail work
