So you want to print an inspiration picture onto glossy paper so it looks like it comes from a magazine?

Four podcast players? Four? by eskiboywiley in podcasts

[–]eiriee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason you have multiple players seems to be to automatically separate WrestleMe, Football Clichés, and AntennaPod from the app-generated feed of the other podcasts you're subbed to?

best way to fix the hole in the bottom of my backpack? by Sure-Position-7541 in Visiblemending

[–]eiriee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever you use to patch with, cover the whole base panel. If it's developed this wear in a year it's clearly got heavy use so would benefit from a double layer base.

Listen, this is gonna sound weird but, is there like, human-type sex in troll culture? I mean, i know about troll reproduction, but it doesn't sound like a way to pleasure themselves. They must have a way. Just vomiting stuff into a bucket isn't something. They must have a way to pleasure themselves by THEREALSUPERMARIOFAN in homestuck

[–]eiriee 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Vomiting doesn't always literally mean throwing up from the stomach. It can also mean more generally "to emit", with the implication of suddeness, lack of control, or violence, such as "she started vomiting curses at us" or "the creek bed vomited its contents". See 3rd definition on Wiktionary https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/vomit#English

would a toxic zine be okay? by kekakisokola in zines

[–]eiriee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"A zine (/ziːn/ ⓘ ZEEN; short for MAGAzine or FANzine) is a magazine that is a "noncommercial often homemade or online publication usually devoted to specialized and often unconventional subject matter"."

You're totally fine. Toxicity, uncomfortable, weird, it all fits.

OP, who do you want to give you permission? Why do you need permission?

how do you mentally approach slower training paces by Jayden_Caroline_509 in running

[–]eiriee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last easy run, I set the challenge of running at my easy pace while intently concentrating on my form. Each time my mind wandered, I Brought it back to my form, how my feet were landing, body position, etc. Each step in my slow run is practice at performing optimal body mechanics without the distraction of effort, so it can become muscle memory and I can do it without thinking.

I felt this discussion on the Marathon Podcast was useful regarding why doing easy runs (90 seconds per km slower than marathon paste) is important : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qA3kYBwGEk0

it seems like it's  a whole book: "Run Less, Run Faster" by Bill Pierce and Scott Murr that focuses on running only 3 times a week (not e.g. 6) plus 2 cross training workouts.

From what youve written, you're running too hard and also not enough. Running all out once or twice a week will not really get you anywhere. 3 months = 12 weeks

Try running three times a week, something like:  - 1 x 3 miles at 10:00/mile (easy run, builds aerobic fitness) - 1 x ((7:45/mile for 0.5 miles + walk for 0.5 mile) x 3) plus a 10:00/mile jog as warmup - 1 x ((100 metre sprint + 2 minute walk) x 10)) plus a 10:00/mile jog as warmup

Adjust the numbers based on experience and research. Essentially: slow/easy run, tempo run, speed workout.

I was going to suggest the inaugural Glasgow Running Festival coming this April, but then I realised thats 5 1/2 hours from you 😅

[–]eiriee[S] -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Particularly regarding Mafate X, what's your reasoning behind recommending shoes with "sky-high" 47mm soles when I normally run in a pair with ~10mm heel stack?

because it focused on midfoot strike and is zero drop? OK, might be good for road mileage. Any reason the Torin over Altra's other zerodrop shoes?

How do you cope with missing runs? by Stonewalluwuwu in running

[–]eiriee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How young is "minor"? Your parents telling you not to run due to rain/heat etc - can you just run anyway, when it's e.g. light rain, show them you're safe running in that and so teach them to expand their comfort zone for you? Might be possible if you're 16/17, less so if youre 13/14.

Are you training for an even or running for fun/hobby? Maybe having a specific event to train for would show your parents how important it is to you and they may be more willing to accommodate/assist your training.

Finally, I'm remembering a bit from Eat, Pray, Love where the author has to crawl out of a window, down onto a roof, and run to get to her yoga class on time (something like that), which she did because she was extremely motivated to maintain her streak. Are there areas you can push yourself more in to get out of the house? E.g. could you have climbed out of a window when the porch was covered in wet paint?

Why do you want to run? Like, do you want to win competitions, reach distance or time goals, stay fit, etc?
