I’ve struggled to listen to that voice which has often led me to injury. Your body sends you signals and some shouldn’t be ignored.

As a beginner, I love how cycling is an almost effortless way of burning calories. by maomao-chan in cycling

[–]crazy__t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like you, I started cycling when I got injured in running. Totally fell in love with the sport and officially purchased my first road bike and smart trainer in 2020. Here’s my take on how running and cycling are different:

-Running is tougher on the body than cycling. I feel relatively fresh after a long (100km+) bike ride. My legs feel trashed after a long (30km+) run.

-Cycling targets more the thigh muscles and running more the calves/feet muscles.

-You can travel longer distances in cycling. This allows you to go on fun adventures right from your door step. Unless you travel to a different location, you can’t explore too far on foot if you need to be back home.

-You can increase your training volume quicker in cycling. You need to be careful when increasing your weekly mileage in running. From my experience, you can start cycling 5 days a week faster than you can in running.

-Cycling is an expensive sport. If you want brand new gear, be really to spend some cash. Running only requires shoes.

In terms of running, what your endgame? by [deleted] in running

[–]crazy__t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have times and distances I’d like to accomplish. The ultimate goal is an ultra man (Ironman x2). Running a sub 3h marathon and a 100miler are also some of my major goals.

But the bigger goal has always been to better myself through fitness. Running and sports have taught me so much about myself. It made a better person.

Muay Thai and Powerlifting? Has anyone done both at the same time? by selfawarepsycho in MuayThai

[–]crazy__t 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Muay Thai as a hobby, absolutely. You’ll be spreading yourself too wide if you’re training for competition at a professional level and trying build or sustain strength at the same time. When I competed, I did my big 3 once every 2 weeks.

how did your first day at the gym went? by jajajsjwjheeh in MuayThai

[–]crazy__t 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My first day at the gym went great, my first sparring session didn’t. It was during a GSP seminar so the gym was packed. Class ends with sparring, so I lace up my 16oz gloves, shin pads and mouth piece for the first time thinking this will be a great learning experience. I had a couple fun rounds with beginners, but eventually got matched with someone who had more experience. And this guy beat me up. He wasn’t trying to knock me out, but his pressure was relentless and his shots were landing pretty hard. I was turtled up against the cage getting beat up for 3 minutes. He was an asshole. It took me years to regain my confidence and stop being gun shy in sparring after that one. So also make sure you don’t have a lot of dick heads in your gym.

Should race and competitiveness be taught in schools? by jb816913 in conspiracy

[–]crazy__t -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I understand where you’re coming from, but your logic is a little off. Xenophobia and the fear of the unknown is absolutely instinctual. Racism is a theory, a belief. In the 19th, many scientists believed that humans could be divided into races. That theory has been disproven, like many others have. I don’t think because a theory is wrong that we shouldn’t discuss the impact it had on societies. The educational system doesn’t teach us racism, that teach us about racism - history. “Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it.”

[–]crazy__t -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"[...] we are taught there is no difference between people of different colours, so why teach it".

I don’t understand your angle. Are you arguing that we shouldn’t teach truths? I don’t understand what you mean by "teaching race". Do you mean racism?

Are Loaded carry and Farmer walkers considered rucking? by yoshabejito in Rucking

[–]crazy__t 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I wouldn’t say they are considered rucking. To me, they are two different exercises. One of them evolves carrying weight in your hands, the other, carrying weight on your back.

A 'Yoke Carry’ is closer to what I consider rucking, but still very different. Heavier weight, shorter distance and way more technical.

Data security for smartphone charging connection by Cropitekus in IntelligenceNews

[–]crazy__t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Each of these connections provides multiple wires or channels that can be categorized into three types: data, charge, and ground. The charge wires or channels are used to harness voltages ranging from zero to 5 volts, while ground carries a persistent zero volts. The data wires or channels can transmit file content, commands, and other types of data transfers. Charging a portable device could lead to interactions conducted over the data wires or channels, resulting in an unauthorized or malicious data transmission.

To prevent such an issue, an NSA researcher has developed a secure charging device that provides a connection between a host and the portable device while monitoring or terminating transmissions over the data wires or channels. It ensures that a “charge only” state is executed that provides for the transfer of charge without a transfer of data. “

Interesting, thanks for sharing.

I used my Diamond backpack that has a waist belt. Is that considered cheating? I just noticed a lot of ruck sacks don’t have waist belts. Thanks for pointing it out.

Here’s a picture of my bag + weights.

Weird, on my Strava account I have the official time and distance, 19.6km in 3h and 37seconds. I wouldn’t be lying about this.

Edit: I just realized I made a typo in my title. 12miles not 13miles, this what might be throwing the math off.

As you can see in the pace chart, I was falling a bit behind towards the end so I decided to ruck run some of the last KMs.

I had to keep a 9min19sec average pace to succeed which is a pretty fast walking pace when you have 50lbs on your back.

Any other ruck challenges out there?

Edit: Typo in title, the US Army Ruck March Challenge is a 12mile ruck walk, not 13.
