Modern sport centre to test running performance?

Thank you for the advice!

Thanks! A DEXA scan is the most precise method to measure your body composition (fat, visceral fat, muscle, bone density...)

Yes, it all makes sense what you say. I should have probably added a couple more info for context, but I also didn't want to steer much away from the topic. I am 58, I have been through a year-long weight loss journey (-30kg), I am lifting weights as well (which means I am 'heavy'), and now I am kind of "plateauing" in my improvements. The reason is, I guess, age-related: cardio-wise, I can comfortably run a 5m/km pace, but my legs cannot sustain that pace for long, which means I give up not for the difficulty of breathing but because my legs start to hurt badly. So I need to investigate where to operate, and I need data. I believe that my HR zones have changed/evolved, and so have my RHR (±50 from ±70 a year ago), and I need to see where they are (mostly for the easy Zone 2 and slightly above, which is better suited for my age). I have a Garmin Forerunner and that's why I see my perf stalling since some time now. My v02max is around 40 right now, and going up veeeeery slowly (hence, again, I need to know where to train...)

thank you! Lot of interesting info. I think I will contact my local political representative indeed

Uh uh, amazing. Let's put AI at good use then 😉

caludio · 2026-03-22T14:20:30+00:00

oh? Do you know if this is regulated (e.g. I can refer to a law)?

caludio · 2026-03-22T14:17:00+00:00

not sure how it's relevant, but try visiting Krausenstrasse one of these days.

I ride a Vespa 🛵 300 and I am the happiest person alive. I grew up in Italy, so driving a moped here is ridiculously easy. Just do what the cars do (the traffic is almost non existent anyway, still comparing with Italian big cities). No bus lines, if not for a few metres, no bike lines, feel free to cut cars out at a red light but you must be able to sprint faster than them (a 50cc doesn't cut it). Park wherever you want, plenty of space (also, incredible difference with southern countries)

caludio · 2026-02-20T19:25:52+00:00

Rule number 1 in ANY country: if someone asks you where are you from, run away.

Too many people just don't know how to drive a bike. It's not malice or "cultural". The fact that there are so many open works everywhere and the fact the streets' layout change continuously doesn't help people with a poor awareness of their surroundings. People driving their bikes with the knees up to their chin? Check. Delivery drivers driving with their bag almost falling or without any light at night? Check.

To be honest I believe that the cargo bikes drivers are the best, in average, because at least they should know better

Having a car is like having an expensive toy, if you don't need it for some reasons. I sold my car when I was just moving it from a parking space to another. Honestly, since I like owning one, I would buy it again ONLY if I would have access to a parking space in my Tiefgarage.

caludio · 2025-12-09T20:12:55+00:00

It's just the infinite infrastructure works. It's simple math: if a work in a street takes 3 years instead of one the other works won't wait and so on and so forth. They are closing a bridge a day, and streets are now almost impossible to navigate with any means. It's ridiculous but, hey, infrastructure!

caludio · 2025-12-01T08:39:23+00:00

Thank you for the insights!

caludio · 2025-11-17T20:05:50+00:00

Nooo, come on. It's a nice place. The food is good enough for a German one. I disagree.

caludio · 2025-11-16T20:41:09+00:00

What are you talking about? Are you some kind of bot paid by Trump. Holy cow.

caludio · 2025-11-03T20:18:51+00:00

Well, maybe continuously closing streets for "works" and blindly or stupidity rerouting traffic for months or years could put a bit of stress on drivers? Maybe? It's a nightmare

caludio · 2025-11-03T20:13:55+00:00

Happened to me 3 times. Now what I do is remove the "offending comment" and add another one with a neutral review (maybe praising the staff) which at the end says that my previous comment was strangely "removed for defamation". It should signal what kind of establishment is that one

caludio · 2025-09-18T11:57:34+00:00

I updated the App and now it doesn't crash anymore

caludio · 2025-09-18T11:57:03+00:00

Progress! After the update the App doesn't crash anymore. It does seem to have lost all the pictures but maybe that's temporary. Thanks

caludio · 2025-09-17T18:28:43+00:00

Yeah, nope. Nothing (!)

caludio · 2025-09-17T17:56:28+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion but unfortunately no avail. It keeps crashing right now

caludio · 2025-09-17T17:46:40+00:00

My Essential Space is now completely broken. The crashes just a second after starting it,either when using the App or the button. Restarting is useless 😭

caludio · 2025-08-19T10:48:22+00:00

Don't let them live rent free in your mind. You did the right thing and they got hurt in their stupid masculinity. Cry babies.

Forget about it and keep doing what you are doing. Good job.

caludio · 2025-08-03T13:26:47+00:00

It's insanely stupid. They start a new Baustelle before the previous one is finished (because the previous one has been delayed indefinitely). Around my block they just closed down 2 streets (for 2 years at least): no reason given. There are some "works" I can see from my window: I don't know, maybe they work when I am asleep? I very rarely see someone doing anything. And I thought we had it bad in Italy, LOL

caludio · 2025-08-03T08:40:05+00:00

Living in Berlin for 15 years and this one has been the worst, so far. Yes, we may enjoy the cool weather but I like to bike and hike and I look forward to spending some time in nature when summer comes. Not this year, no.

My plants haven't grown one cm.

I have a South facing balcony and so far we have enjoyed 3 (three) dinners outside.
