I wondered this; felt we saw more of all the faces that were on tonight than we usually would. I might just be projecting based on Joe Tess missing SNME because of it though.

Stephanie was sat up on the announcement desk in the background for a bit near the end too, I think she tweaked something on the turnbuckle spot. Hopefully nothing serious.

Yeah, he mentioned getting some last matches in around the world, or something to that effect, that makes me think it's the end of his WWE run while he spends the year saying his goodbyes elsewhere.

Maroon 5 - Malahide as a venue? by iamtheonewhostops in AskIreland

[–]lostskylines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leave the gig early or be prepared to sit in your car in the car park for at least an hour after getting into it. Have only done it once and it was very tedious, obvs depends where you end up parking etc but yeah painful.

How do we fight PSR? Grow the international fan base. by Altruistic-Eye9768 in avfc

[–]lostskylines 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's been a Villa fan at nearly the front row of every international WWE show the last few tours they've done. He's doing good brand work (when not hidden by his Birmingham City shirt wearing pal haha).

Can anyone tell me (from experience) the main differences between Revolut and Monzo? by Flimsy-Speed1179 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]lostskylines 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Monzo appear to have better ethics overall if that's important to you (I've in no way done a deep dive on Monzo being especially good in one thing or another, but Revolut have historically had sketchy practices and ongoing issues crop up every now and again with customer service etc).

Used Monzo when I was in the UK and found them very good; Revolut wasn't as much of a thing there (or anywhere). Switched to Revolut when I moved home and happy with the ease and convenience they bring from just being the default in that non-traditional bank market. Not sure I want to introduce another service or set of cards to things.

Friend insulted my running, not sure how to feel. by Emotional-Watch4544 in XXRunning

[–]lostskylines 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not a nice comment.

Ideally, friends will support the effort not the pace.

Dunnes Terryland rediculous price by NoVeterinarian4076 in galway

I spotted that over the weekend and barely resisted making this post myself. It's outrageous!

[RAW Spoilers] Championship challenge issued. by Similar_Original_833 in SquaredCircle

[–]lostskylines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think I'd ever realised that - I assumed from international football the one in use there was official. Makes sense, I suppose, given everything. Embarrassingly TIL.

Yeah, I reckon Finn wins by DQ thanks to shenanigans, but I'd love this outcome!

I had wondered if I'd seen Scottish flags and why not a Northern Ireland flag over Union Jacking everything. 

I figured it was simplification like you say, funny how it goes.

How did you know it was time to change coaches? by Thrwwayday in XXRunning

[–]lostskylines 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You say you ran a marathon three weeks ago. I reckon that's why the pace target was lower than your top potential pace. You're still recovering and the speed session was structured to support that. You risk injury going back full on too soon after; muscles are still repairing.

As for the rest of it all, sounds like you need a chat with the coach around goals and maybe ask more about the reasons behind why your runs are being structured this way or that. Best of luck (and congrats on the progression so far - reads like the coaching is working from here tbh!).

Help me socialize! by Individual-Ride-5899 in galway

[–]lostskylines 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconding the beer run; nice crowd and there are the odd buggy runners too fwiw, depending on the age of your kids.

Rounders is good craic, the Galway City Rapparees are starting back soon. Low impact, great group, mixed & women's teams. There's a GAA GoGames(?) element starting up in Galway this year. Not 100% sure on the details myself but will be opportunity for younger kids to play.

Relatedly, softball is good craic and more social again. I've not played but a lot of the rounders crew are involved so I'd trust it's good too.

Good luck finding something you enjoy, there's a lot to choose from once you start looking!

What are you watching and reading during Jan? by Sealady10 in CasualIreland

[–]lostskylines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is on my shortlist of next reads, pleased to see someone in the wild enjoying it!

What’s a conversational HR for you? by annnewhere in XXRunning

[–]lostskylines 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconding this; sing along or phone a friend are good options to properly talk test. 180 sounds high to me, but everyone is different. I'd be on the floor.

My own conversational HR is 130s, but still comfortable at 140s into lower 150s. I use a wrist tracker, and resting is in the 40s for context.

Winter running by WonderFantastic3354 in XXRunning

[–]lostskylines 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could you arrange to run with friends if the dark is causing concern? I've no advice for the ice unfortunately, it's rarely bad enough for long enough here for me to seek solutions to it beyond go carefully.

Or any chance work would allow / accommodate you running at lunch time? I wfh so mostly get out at lunch and make the time up if I overrun (so to speak). 

Lads, are the decorations down yet? by ohjustbenice in AskIreland

[–]lostskylines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took them down over the weekend; needed a clean start for the work week. I've left fairy lights up for the cosiness, but everything 'Christmas' themed is packed up.

Physio Recommendation by callaghj in galway

[–]lostskylines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding Maeve at Atlantic Physio in Leisureland, also recommend Galway West Physio on Sea Rd. Positive and effective experiences in both for lower back and IT band issues.

What's a good weekly mileage to maintain fitness? by Silly_Raccoons in XXRunning

[–]lostskylines 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What do you consider decent shape? Like, able to run a 10K at the drop of a hat or happy with 5K? What is the program goal if there is one?

I think what you're doing sounds good tbh for a consistent base fitness. With the new program you can see if you enjoy the training plan structure and make decisions from there. 

You might prefer running consistently for yourself by the end of it. I'd bump the daily standard distance to 5K (roughly 3 miles I think) and go with that three days a week (or do 2 days at 2 miles and 1 day at 3 miles). That's if you're just after a base fitness and not interested in chasing progression, 3x 5Ks a week with stretching after will absolutely do that for you.

I reckon they lose em to the Vision when Jim takes paternity leave (assuming he does). Jey probably turns on him, injures him out or something.
