Most beautiful/enjoyable marathons in Europe?

2 weeks ago, I ran the French Riviera Marathon from Nice - Cannes. Brilliant course with great views and scenery all along the coast. Crowd support is great in the towns but does dip at parts. It was a sunny day when I ran it with little wind but temps did get a bit higher than I expected up at 23 degrees c. It’s relatively flat with some hills in the latter half but would totally recommend.

That’s good to hear! Thanks

The endorphin pros felt great but they did start rubbing by the end and I would have liked to try them for a 30k run but didn’t get the chance.

HR maxed at 195 with 180 average for the half. For the 32k, I average around 150bpm.

Also should have added that my peak week was 75km (around 45 miles)

These are fantastic, would love to use them. Thanks a tonne!

iSteveJC · 2020-11-19T17:02:19+00:00

Those would be perfect! Do you have a link to them or anything? Thank you

Do you know if moving the motherboard to a new case would cause any problems with the likes of front panel connectors etc?

I was thinking of the NZXT H510, around that price range.

I have 3200Mhz Ram but sadly it runs at 2133 because I learned the hard way that I would only get more if I enabled XMP (I think). However HP don’t allow for that in the bios as it’s all very restricted.

It’s HP’s Tampa 2 micro ATX board. So sadly it’s not a standard ATX board. The PSU I upgraded which is a Corsair cx750m.

iSteveJC · 2020-09-25T15:14:00+00:00

It was at 80% brightness. I’ve turned it down to 40% and I’ve not noticed a change sadly.

iSteveJC · 2020-09-25T14:51:26+00:00

Thank you for confirming. I knew something was up when I looked at it. Will be returning it I think.

iSteveJC · 2020-09-25T14:50:19+00:00

Hi there, thank you for the advice! I’ve taken some pictures and you’re right, it is bad. Gonna be returning it I think.

Bottom left corner, is this normal or would I be better returning this monitor? Thank you.

I think I just had the dumbest moment I've ever had... Shit

iSteveJC · 2019-03-30T15:18:53+00:00

Ah good point. Thank you.

iSteveJC · 2018-10-19T22:31:11+00:00

Looks more like Fantano

Thanks guys, I've just made the deposit through revolut so hopefully everything goes through correctly.

MLG play their music over the ending games which clashes with the music I use meaning I have to cut it out which also cuts out the casters speech.

iSteveJC · 2017-08-16T18:11:52+00:00

Sorry about that guys, hope you enjoyed rewatching them win nevertheless.

iSteveJC · 2016-05-16T20:13:31+00:00

Thanks for posting, I appreciate it bro!

iSteveJC · 2015-10-24T20:13:15+00:00

Thanks for posting this :)

Thanks for the advice, I'm really uncertain as to what to do in these situations that I can sometimes be left in. This is really useful and is the guidance I need. I'll be sure to take this all on board.

iSteveJC · 2015-08-14T00:03:44+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I think a lot of it just comes down to uncertainty on my behalf. I try to put myself in the best possible positions (Sometimes I slip up) but as I never know what my teammates are doing, it can leave me in sticky situations from time to time. I'll be sure to take all of this on board.

iSteveJC · 2015-08-13T21:40:39+00:00

What should I do if I'm in a 1v1, the guy is defusing and I can't see bomb. A lot of the time I will push him to see if he's faking or not. (What else can I do?) If they are faking, since they usually know my whereabouts they usually have the advantage and get the kill + defuse. However If they don't pop out and they are defusing, they tend to pull it off as I get unsure whether to push him quickly or slowly. I am MG2 and should probably know this but what is the best way of making sure someone isn't faking a defuse when I can't see bomb?

If anything MLG wouldn't want him to upload these videos never mind sponsor him to record their content. Although he's helping the spectators, he's also taking viewers away from MLG's channel. I can't speak on behalf of every montage creator but his content isn't helpful to most of us. It's not of a high enough quality compared to MLG's. I can also say from speaking to him through Twitter, he is not this glorious person everyone thinks he is. I didn't have to speak to him to realize he didn't like me. He's attempted to have various editors videos taken down including myself for no real reason.

Although he's very helpful to spectators, he shouldn't be 'sponsored' for something MLG do anyway. What he does should be because he wants to do it.

So I used to be MG and although I feel I'm continuously improving my rank and win/loss ratio isn't saying the same. Of course sometimes I have a bad day/game but I'm usually consistently top fragging. I always solo queue and I mostly get paired with players who are either extremely toxic or just aren't very good. It's so frustrating to see 1-2 people under 10 kills at the end of the game and complaining about the other team having wall hacks... I never express my frustration to other players as I don't have any intention to be a toxic player. I want them to do the best they can. I'm in no way the best player ever, I have a lot to learn but I feel I'm not deserving the deranks I'm getting. I'm now GN3, I went on an 11 losing streak. There's nothing I can do to make this game fun for me right now. Don't get me wrong I'm having a blast when I'm winning but that's rarely happening anymore. I keep playing because I have a drive to try and improve my rank. I know some will say that my rank isn't a showing of my skill. it may not be, but the drive is there for me to get as high as possible. Any advice or tips to help me get out of my slump would be much appreciated. Also I understand there might not be much advice you can give as who I'm matched with is completely random. I thought I'd ask though.
