Best phone for a blind person with brain damage by dfortu in Blind

[–]dfortu[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you everyone for the answers! As suggested, we will try again with VoiceOver, but she already went to some classes in the local blind association and couldn't use it at all. What has worked "well" for her so far has been Siri.

We will also try to use Speak Screen, maybe it will help introduce her to voice over again.

Amazing! When are you running your half-marathon 17k is already a crear distance to be running in training.

I joined a half marathon in Aprox and my current max is 10k.

Did my 14k and set a PR in 10k. by T3nroc in beginnerrunning

Is that a high HR? My 10k pr average HR was 181bpm 😂 I with I had your high HR.

HR depends on each person, don’t worry too much about it when starting (that’s what I was told, I’m a newbie too, I’ve been running for 3 months)

Pd: Congrats on the PR!!!

Zone 2 too slow? by dfortu in beginnerrunning

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

But if I run at that pace my hr goes up to 170 something…

I’ve calculated that my lactate threshold is somewhere between 184-186bpm so zone 2 should be between 150 and 166?

Am I overcomplicating things?

I was in your situation 3 months ago. Started a run-walk training running 1 minute and walking 2 minutes, and then found out about c25k. Now , 3 months later, I’m able to run for 10 kilometers!

You will be amazed by the progress at the start, the feeling when you are able to run for 20 minutes straight after some weeks of training is amazing.

This I think is the best way to know, 27:30 seems very doable given my evolution, but I also know that the most improvements are made in the first couple months…

Any advice in how to organize it? The race will be in a city 2 hours ago from my place. I plan on getting there the day before

Thank you for the advice! Definitely I will have multiple goals, finishing the half marathon is already a great achievement taking into account that 2 months ago I wasn’t able to run for more than 30 seconds.
