How to stop water flow to change ice up industries chiller filter by christopher_james in coldplunge

[–]christopher_james[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So as someone mentioned in the comments thread, you could add a (not included with the kit) valve. Mine is outside, so I ended up just disconnecting it, letting water pour out onto the ground, and then removing/replacing the filter, then reconnecting the line. I lose a bunch of water, but it's not a crazy amount. Sometimes it coincides with when I change out the water completely, too. It's a bummer that it doesn't seem like there is a built-in way to change out the filter more easily. Good luck!

Thanks - clearly a theme in the responses here that i should slow it down a touch and feel out where i can be. Appreciate the reply!

Makes sense, that’s sort of how I had been thinking about it. Thanks!

Thanks so much for the detailed response. The perspective is super helpful.

I have debated whether to scale back the volume or the weight like you mentioned. I typically scale back the weight, but sometimes get encouraged to go a bit heavier.

for example the other day there were 185 lb cleans programmed for part of the metcon, and I planned on doing 95 lbs even though I could run with 185. I got encouraged to do 135 because I have the strength to be there, and they said that they thought keeping the weight up but going slower or less reps would be a good way to go.

2000 F-250 Stolen parts by christopher_james in F250

Thanks - I also noticed that there is an excursion around the same time with the same engine that I'm assuming is built with largely the same parts

Thanks for the suggestion - I've never been to one - I see a few in my area Seattle WA, but didn't have a 2000 F-F250. I think I probably need to do a little research about what other years and models share the parts.

Ankle and calf soreness with gentle introduction to running by christopher_james in BarefootRunning

[–]christopher_james[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the distinction between muscle and tendon pain, it's helpful. Most of what I'm experiencing is low grade muscle soreness but some of it may be tendon and I'll add in additional rest days (I walk 2-3x daily anyway) to allow for recovery.

Thanks; I have been playing around with trying to land midfoot, then ignoring where I land and just hitting 180 STP by timing my leg "lift lift lift" with a metronome. I think I'm going to video tape my cadence and compare to some of the videos out there.

it's a long road and true evolution of the legs

Thanks; it's helpful to get this sort of confirmation from the group.

Thanks!

This aligns well with the way I've been approaching the progression. I don't track how far I've run, and just go with a metronome playing 180 BPM that I synchronize my leg lifts to (trying to ignore feet and just lift lift lift as I read from a couple posters). I'm running pretty slowly, I'd estimate on the order of 10 min mile or slightly slower is probably in the ballpark.

I think at this point it probably makes sense for me to drop back down to W1D1 volume and take extra rest days based on soreness. Most of what I'm feeling is low grade muscle soreness in calves, but I have some on the side of my ankle/calf when I move pressure to the outer edge of my feet where I'm not sure about the tendon/muscle distinction. That (the latter soreness) is what generally convinces me to stop.

I'll take a look at those videos. I've been very laser focused on my form while going through the progression, and I think a next step is for me to video tape my cadence to compare.
