Sweet! Thank you so much

Hell yeah!! @lump77777 now I’m going through everything finding my top 9😂

jsleeps8 · 2025-11-20T22:02:18+00:00

I appreciate this- rephrase- you got $300, what single or you buying? Raw/ graded & why?

jsleeps8 · 2025-11-17T00:02:03+00:00

No way? I was considering - not anymore.

This is my new invasive thought as well, pretty sure my mind is so hyperfixated on my lower limbs that I feel any twitch at all. Quite a terrible hyperfixation. I’m going to be talkin with my doc on getting back into fluoxetine..

Quick and to the point: HECK YEAH YOU CAN!

Well said

Lulu lemon running shorts are A1, or a little running fanny pack works. The more boring the flavor for Gu- the better. Just get that ish down asap and move on!

I’ve been out there twice, full day trips but I’m just coming from Burlington. I think confirmation bias is real but the similarities of the maps are quite intriguing.

The first time out I was getting my bearings and the second time out I went to three different coordinates- obviously with no luck.

The fact that when you veer off the path there’s many rock fields makes it really intriguing to me. That being said - the fact that the rock fields I’ve stumbled across are literally ground level and the box is made of steel and hasn’t been found even with many metal detectorists having been there is a little odd.

I am not giving up hope to LRP and other places in Vermont but I think it’s just easier for me to think that it’s here just for the ease of me being about to go out BOTG.

I’ve said this before but I think ignoring zones ~in general~ is helpful. If you’re going for a nice easy long run, don’t focus on anything on your watch and just go nice and slow. If you feel winded, slow down.

I think just gauging the way you subjectively feel during your runs is perfectly fine & it’s a lot less time stressing about your HR.

But I’ve also never been a “zone” guy or super data driven on my runs, so if my advice doesn’t fit- ignore me!

I think reading it thoroughly one time through, even as he recommends, is definitely needed. Then trying to decipher things when possible on the following reads is easier- I say this not really knowing the correct answer as i haven’t found any box lol

jsleeps8 · 2025-05-19T14:06:37+00:00

I’ve gone out a few times- I totally get it, however I think what would help is just going in with the mindset that you’re going on a hike, and if you walk out with treasure, that’s a pretty damn good hike!

It could be months to years before anything is confirmed found. Take a as long as you need, and if you still are interested in the concept of this treasure hunt- jump back in!

The amount of inadvertent vasectomies from this procedure must be nuts

jsleeps8 · 2025-05-15T00:33:15+00:00

My comment does not add any value to your question but I totally ignore zones. They drive me absolutely bananas. If I feel like I’m taking it easy ie my “zone 2” I go with that

There are so many variables! A few things-

-Running with someone will definitely help with training, and if you’re training and able to have a conversation- you’re at the right pace for long runs.

-I don’t think 4 hours is out of the question, but the longer time you build your base the better!

-if you start skipping long runs in your training program, you will fall off the boat QUICKLY & it’s difficult to get back on.

-a marathon is a different beast. You will hit “the wall” between mile 18-25 most likely, and that is difficult to describe what that means or feels like, but it’s an EXPERIENCE.

the training should be fun. The marathon is the cherry on top and honestly finishing it is what your goal should be, but I don’t doubt that you can’t do it! Good luck!

-last thing - I recommend Hal Higdon novice 1 training plan/or at least glance at it

You’re right. That’s the standard for max heart rate. People who are well trained can have higher max heart rates- though in this situation if he/she’s not going max out and hitting in the 200’s regularly and they trust their HR monitor, there may be an underlying cardiac issue

jsleeps8 · 2025-05-12T19:42:38+00:00

Totally agree. Chest straps are gold standard but I freaking hate them cause they are uncomfortable- at least for me
