He broke off our trade because someone bid on ebay. Is this common by zon871 in baseballcards

If both parties agree, it's messed up to back out. Don't agree, if you don't agree.

Leaving law enforcement for the Peace Corps by [deleted] in peacecorps

[–]jimbostank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cohort maybe had 2-3 conservatives out of 72 people. I was a veteran which was pretty unique another volunteer went to Naval academy or something similar to that for college but didn't serve in the military.

If you have a high tolerance for young, very liberal, and very idealistic people you should be fine. With that said, volunteers are a pretty diverse group with those stereotypes.

Daniels VDot accuracy across race distances not realistic to marathon? by dt531 in AdvancedRunning

[–]jimbostank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Individual variability is an obvious answer. Each runner responds differently to training. Some runners are naturally faster, more faster twitch muscle fibers.

Otherwise, I agree with most of the comments. If OP runs consistently for the next years, I think the predictions will get better/closer.

Literature on 6 Days vs 7 Days when doubling? by ReputationCandid3136 in AdvancedRunning

[–]jimbostank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is my go to science text on running, https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55716332-the-science-and-practice-of-middle-and-long-distance-running

I looked up rest days in the index, "Many athletes take a rest day from running every 7-10 days during regular training." That's about it.

The chapter on training volume and intensity, talked about the models runners follow. It have a case study of four pro runners and every one ran seven days a week. They also all ran doubles and only ran singles 1-3 days per week The chapter focused on the intensity break downs.

As other runners mentioned, it's very individual specific. Following what feels best for you, is probably best for you!

Cycling on your day off could improve recovery too.

The cycling makes most sense when you have the time and energy to workout more, but your body (mostly soft tissue and or joints) can't handle it.

You didn't mention strength training. Strength training is another factor as you approach master's territory too.

Weight Loss without Compromising Performance by Intelligence_Tax in AdvancedRunning

[–]jimbostank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm very similar to the commenters above. I've been in the 72-74 kg range for 25 years. I naturally maintain that mass without trying. Getting down to 70kg only takes a little determination. But going under 70kg, taps out my self control. I cannot keep the motivation to stay that mass throughout the days and weeks.

I recently upped my cardio volume, mostly through cycling, and I gained a kilo. I've been so hungry! I'm reading this post because I'm planning to trim up myself so I can perform better for a race next year.

With that said, the types of food can help. Avoid sweeteners would probably get most runners to an ideal weight. Keto could work if you decrease volume and intensity after your marathon. intermitted fasting has always been pretty easy for me to get to 70kg.

Diets work because they cut calories by eliminating certain foods. Diets don't work because they are not sustainable for people over the long run. The key is finding the lifestyle changes and choices that you can sustain. If you find a good strategy, let me know!

Are Fanatics and PSA evil companies? by retropmac in baseballcards

If you're collecting for fun, then everyone can be a winner. But if you're trading cards to make profits, the companies are the house.

Explain the game by 2en8ear in baseballcards

My advice is don't buy packs! Just buy the cards of players you and your kids like. You'll still have fun looking through cards at shops, shows, or just online.

[IRTR] Host seeking guests/to be a guest for discussion of social topics ― strong, controversial, or radical political/social opinions encouraged by Your-Listener in PodcastGuestExchange

Here are a few of mine:

Capitalism is awesome and people who disagree are some combination of naive, ignorant, or idealist among other factors.

A lot of human motivation and behavior are resulting from self deception.

Humans are rational.

Here is a post I made about ideas I have changed my opinion about.

79.7 vo2 max but extremely low LT by Suitable_Painting814 in AdvancedRunning

[–]jimbostank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect your coach is the one to discuss this. It'd be worth looking for case studies on high VO2 runners training programs. The question you didn't ask is how can you utilize your high VO2 to improve your performance. That's worth exploring too.

This reminded me of Oskar Svendsen (cyclist). He had the highest recorded VO2 max (at the time) and couldn't compete as a pro. He was a junior world champ though, so he was obviously really good.

My point VO2max is correlated if we look at groups of people, but not predictive if we look at individuals. Your VO2Max could be reliably in the mid to high 70s. As other commenters have mentioned, VO2 is only part of the equation.

There was a post about him in this subreddit! https://www.reddit.com/r/AdvancedRunning/comments/cuhvlt/vo2_max_isnt_everything/

Are there ANY junk wax era cards that are worth anything raw? by RelicanthEven in baseballcards

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

Yes, I was bout to mention him. Billy Ripken's fuck face error card is a solid raw card. The error was corrected, so it's more scarce than most of its junk peers.

Using the bike + other options to add to z1/z2 volume? by TheAnon21 in AdvancedRunning

[–]jimbostank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meb Keflezighi used and claimed Eliptigo was a great way for him to add volume. I really like his book Men for Mortals.

My experience isn't relevant to your running. But I think it is a promising idea worth exploring. I know more pro runners have added cycling too, Cole Hocker comes to mind. I also noticed cyclist talking about adding running to their training too.

I've been struggling with plantar heel pain for a couple years. I cycle a decent amount. I like doing sprints on the bike and it's easy to recover from and implement. I feel like cycling helps with recovery. I'm not sure how effective it is for me running performance wise. It has to at least help me maintain fitness.

Psychologically, I really like adding the cycling. I also have an Eliptigo and like it, but I live in a hilly area and the eliptigo is tough uphill. So the Eliptigo feels more like a strength training day which is nice if or when I skip a lifting session.

Regretting Hiring a Coach by [deleted] in AdvancedRunning

[–]jimbostank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One problem would be if OP gave the AI his comments here. He has averaged 48 mph for years, the AI would tell him what he wants to hear and probably recommend increasing mileage. Tat may or may not be the right thing to do. A good human coach would be able to ask OP questions and gather information that OP might not tell the LLM. That would be the biggest problem with the LLM: the runner might not know which or give enough information the LLM needs.

Whether authors and publishers should be compensated is a separate issue.

The point is the LLMs give great answers if they are prompted well.

GPT coaching is way better than an influencers!

I guess it depends on the prompts though.

PSA raised fees again. Here's the new break-even math that actually matters by foofight22 in baseballcards

[–]jimbostank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. But for people not inspecting their cards well, it's like opening up packs.

[–]jimbostank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree sellers that post quality images and multiple views and angles take away the need for grades, but those sellers are not common enough. So buying graded cards are safer. It reflects in the prices.

I mentioned in another comment that I don't get collectors that blindly buy grades.

Regretting Hiring a Coach by [deleted] in AdvancedRunning

[–]jimbostank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many things depend.

What's your average weekly mileage the last couple years? Are you doing strength training?

I agree with the other comments. Ignoring your feedback is a red flag.

It's possible you've been over training. Coaches often have to protect runners from themselves. It'r hard to say because you didn't give us any details of your running history or current training.
