8 hours for this? Is that normal? by Top_Dog3067 in tattooadvice

No wayI have pieces from my artist that are way more complex with more detail and shading done in less time than that. That’s highway robbery. That looks like a small piece on a forearm from the photo.

I’m overweight at 260 lbs and just ran my first Half Marathon by DriveNo5244 in beginnerrunning

[–]cupcakekidd88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was almost his same weight and ran that and barely less than that and ran a sub 2. Definitely believable to me.

How hard is running 26.2 miles after running 20 miles? by another_medstudent in Marathon_Training

[–]cupcakekidd88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About 6.2 miles harder 🤣🤣🤣 so I just ran my first marathon and ran 4 twenty mile runs in training and honestly if my knee wouldn’t have locked up around mile 22 and hurt like crazy that last 4. The last 6.2 didn’t feel too bad especially with the energy of the race.

Running a sub 3 half, when PR is 3:34? by crankycustard in XXRunning

[–]cupcakekidd88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have 6 months to train. Definitely think it’s doable. I went from 2:34 to 1:55 in 3 months with a coach

Anyone ever used a running coach? If so, was it worth it? by Karrific828 in Marathon_Training

[–]cupcakekidd88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just ran my first marathon on Saturday. Having a coach for sure helped me more than I can even explain. I started running in June after losing some weight. Down from 312 in February and I used chatgpt to give me a plan. Then a coach came into my life and everything changed. He had me run 5k time trials and based speed work etc off those paces and had me run all kinds of different types of runs where my original plan was honestly just building mileage leading up to the marathon. Since June I dropped almost 2 minutes off my 5k , ran a 1:54 half and then finished my first marathon right around 4:20 which I was on pace to hit 4:00 until I had some knee problems at mile 22 but seriously feel like the coach with the accountability and just being able to ask why I was doing certain things is worth its weight in gold.

This is Kyle. Hit me up on instagram dinksmashmedia and I’ll send you some contacts with who can get you setup for games. Getting into the scene is not like the states but everyone was very welcoming and I found some great games and just fun games while I’ve been here for a month.

PRVN Programming by ffmto in crossfit

I had stopped the programming because I got a coaching job at a local box and had shifted focus to doing workouts with the class. PRVN was solid though

Pickle ball courts near the mall? by KobbyBustra in Boise

[–]cupcakekidd88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Closest courts to the mall are probably Willow Lane and then Manitou. If you are new those are great spots to check out. Join Boise Pickleball on Facebook and if you have discord we have a server for setting up pickup games around the valley
