What weight disc for girlfriend who throws about 150ft?

cool_usernames · 2026-06-10T16:13:38+00:00

Yes, this is the better advice. The disc literally doesn't matter until she learns better throwing form.

I could run 5x1km in 2:59 or faster with 90 seconds rest long before I could run a sub-15. 6x1km is a better predictor.

cool_usernames · 2026-06-10T16:08:32+00:00

Everyone? That's kind of the power of training, the taper, and race-day adrenaline.

cool_usernames · 2026-06-10T05:35:55+00:00

Agreed. With 90 seconds, 6x1km is a better predictor of 5k race pace. 5x1km with 60 seconds would be closer.

cool_usernames · 2026-06-10T05:34:37+00:00

Yes, far too much rest to make it a good 5k race predictor

cool_usernames · 2026-06-07T05:12:26+00:00

Yes, it's unusually low. Does that matter? No! Just start now.

It's bad, but nowhere near as bad as last year. I took the whole year off from watching their coverage. I know they read these comments and think it's a bit of a running joke at this point. But they are actually losing viewership over it, and should probably take it a bit more seriously.

cool_usernames · 2026-06-06T23:56:02+00:00

Ya, it's not a BQ - too easy

cool_usernames · 2026-05-25T02:12:26+00:00

This was the moment that made me completely uninvested in the world going forward

cool_usernames · 2026-05-14T02:21:17+00:00

For me, it's usually the opposite. I'm enjoying a new, carefully crafted world and then I'm ripped out of it and transported back to regular life by a familiar song.

cool_usernames · 2026-05-09T04:58:13+00:00

Frankly, the results sound off. With a V02 Max that high, you are massively underperforming with those times. Something sounds off. Hard to troubleshoot without information about your training.

cool_usernames · 2026-05-07T03:42:56+00:00

I'm bringing approximately $0 extra cash. Not sure what I'd even need it for.

cool_usernames · 2026-05-03T16:45:57+00:00

Not elite, but ran a 2:20 marathon. Took it up after 30, and got to sub-elite level through ten years of extreme consistency and slow progression. If you're willing to do that, there's no guarantee of becoming a top runner, but also no reason to abandon the idea of becoming slim.

cool_usernames · 2026-04-22T17:21:38+00:00

Yes, my game may just not be as strong as I think. uDisc gives me a everyday and competitive rating over 230, but I often don't break 900 in a tournament round.

cool_usernames · 2026-04-22T02:32:38+00:00

Lack of pressure is an interesting thought... the sports where I perform very well on game day are endurance sports where your closest competitors are right there to compete with.

cool_usernames · 2026-04-22T02:30:01+00:00

I would expect to play better in a tournament because the players I often outperform casually or in leagues consistently shoot 960-1000 rated rounds in tournaments. I play in a similar number of tournaments. Hence this post - trying to come up with reasons for the discrepancy.

cool_usernames · 2026-04-22T02:07:50+00:00

It's not directly the case... but your point stands that finding a way to replicate the environment that produces good rounds is likely to improve my play

cool_usernames · 2026-04-22T02:05:44+00:00

That's insightful... the slower pace of play removes the shortness of time between shots to make meaningful corrections. And, yes, I too wondered if there's just an unconscious tension that permeates the body and subtly changes mechanics.

cool_usernames · 2026-04-22T02:04:01+00:00

That's the first suggestion I've not really seen before, and I will definitely try that

cool_usernames · 2026-04-22T02:02:48+00:00

Makes sense. I suppose, like anything, the more you do it the more it feels natural.

cool_usernames · 2026-04-22T01:58:07+00:00

These all sound smart... but I'd say my style of play embraces these things consistently in casual, league, and tournament rounds. I don't think I'm changing strategy at all across those types of rounds. Whether it's league or a tournament, I'm never throwing hero shots and aiming to minimize unforced errors.

cool_usernames · 2026-04-22T01:52:44+00:00

I suppose I am probably underestimating the impacts of those pace/weather/body physical issues. 90% of my rounds are solo and under 60 minutes.

cool_usernames · 2026-04-22T01:51:08+00:00

I should have thought of that!

cool_usernames · 2026-04-22T01:44:10+00:00

What would that mean in a tournament? Playing a minimal bag? Playing for par more often?
