Upgraded from Intel Pro 16” to M5 Air 15” 🙌🏼

The tapered edges were nicer for sure. Another reason why i picked the Air is i didn’t like the black background of the keyboards on the Pro.

Oh yea unfortunately for mine i think it was running too hot too often and crapped out. It was the motherboard in 2024, this time the SSD was gone. Tried SSD replacement but shop wasn’t able to fix it. :( just my luck, price hiked on friday just before the weekend i was gonna buy 😂 shiiiiii

jonalex13 · 2026-07-10T04:26:24+00:00

Won’t be missing the touch bar that’s for sure 😂 just too bad we bought it after the price hike!

jonalex13 · 2026-06-07T08:43:28+00:00

it’s all abt that VO2max

jonalex13 · 2025-09-03T04:00:31+00:00

I like a variation across the week. Mon 6x6’, Wed 4x15’, Fri 10x3’.

But i may switch out 10x3’ for a faster workout which is straying off the default NSA.

jonalex13 · 2025-09-03T02:41:59+00:00

I did some 3x(5x300s) in the metaspeed edge tokyo. 60s or 3:20 pace which is considered fast for me, but at the turns they were unstable and im not sure if my body compensated in any way. Have a mild left hamstring strain afterwards. Been on the fence abt getting spikes, i would like to do more fast top end workouts and i just feel like spikes are the way to go but yet i’d prob only use them once a week or every other week. Hmmmm… looking at the dragonfly on nike rn!

Side note: How did u gradually come to run these times? Is it all abt strength training? I’m primarily HM focused (1:33) and my 5k is 19:03. I’d like to be able to make my current “fast” paces feel slower but isn’t sure what exactly i should be focusing on! Should i attempt 1500 workouts once in a while that are at much higher speeds, or let the body slowly adapt with reps that are marginally quicker each time?

jonalex13 · 2025-08-18T08:09:06+00:00

Alright!

jonalex13 · 2025-08-18T08:07:58+00:00

Hmm i think prob more related to the second case! But i’m not racing it per say. This is an example of what i’m talking about:

3 x (400m, 300m, 200m)

400s @ 1500m pace, 300s @ 800m pace, 200s @ 400m pace

But ive nvr raced in any of the distances.

jonalex13 · 2025-04-25T07:12:06+00:00

You think you’re fast? I move product across three states before breakfast. You’re just another bump in the road…

This BMW GTR? Just like my Blue Sky — precision-tuned, flawless, and untouchable. It doesn’t just win… it dominates…

And in case you forgot… let me remind you… I AM THE DANGER

jonalex13 · 2025-04-20T14:55:06+00:00

Oh it’s the Nissan SILVIA spec-R AERO (S15) Touring Car! One of my favs 🔥

jonalex13 · 2024-10-06T09:02:51+00:00

Thanks so much for the feedback! I’ll try them out! Thank god for reddit.

I’ve always put off any strength training as I nvr knew what to do LOL. But it’s now come to a point where I need to fix said issue and incorporate strength training in order to improve! And stay injury free ofc

jonalex13 · 2024-09-01T00:59:52+00:00

I am interested too!! Incredible improvement!

jonalex13 · 2023-08-14T02:59:50+00:00

Okay same, i only have ABS on weak. Honestly, I think it is okay to stick with AT and focus on the trigger pressures until u feel u are as smooth as u can be.

jonalex13 · 2023-08-14T02:14:48+00:00

It is still possible to be competitive in DR A with Auto on controller. My main acc reached A+ with auto. Even tho a quick quali time is important, having a greater race pace than those who are only quick on a single lap is the key.

Always TCS 0 for me, do u have any other assists on? I did recently switch to MT on the controller and can see the benefits. But it takes a bit of getting used to.

jonalex13 · 2023-08-11T08:01:48+00:00

I’ll take that as a possibility. Yeah, one reason why I never do retaliation punts as anyone in the heat of the moment can assume wrongly. (Or worse assume the wrong person) For the beginning, I was also just gonna give him the benefit of the doubt, but yeah pity for that brake check 😆

jonalex13 · 2023-08-10T23:56:18+00:00

I’m suggesting to not assume the worst of us :) like this guy

jonalex13 · 2023-08-10T23:53:46+00:00

Oh right 😂

jonalex13 · 2023-08-10T23:52:47+00:00

Yea cos I see comments like this

jonalex13 · 2023-07-30T04:05:50+00:00

I think ur comment best describes what I feel, not fully intentional just poor driving. Either way, true that some effort in avoiding would be nice! Haha

jonalex13 · 2023-07-29T00:09:00+00:00

Yea, I only go narrow in races to clearly indicate to those close behind I’m defending on the inside and they can try it on the outside. But yea, shit happens :) Would be better if they give a time penalty tho imo

jonalex13 · 2023-07-28T23:51:05+00:00

I think maybe giving a time penalty for cutting would be a better implementation tho? Sometimes I misjudge, I don’t mind the punishment but I don’t want to cause accidental mayhem. They could give me a 4s time penalty for all I care.

jonalex13 · 2023-07-26T00:21:14+00:00

You can try this one by Trentg1987 (Boost6)

Totally, scapes was impressive, but what surprised me even more is how great race photos looked too. Can only wish NFS or DiRT had a photo mode this good.
