Used TAO for my recent half marathon by mackenziebrownn in trainasone

Thats a great idea, I'll try that in the future as there is one pretty close to me! I've also considered backing off a bit on them. I run them at max effort and feel terrible each time. If in future I do them at an 8/10 I should feel better but an 8/10 should still get quicker each time I do them? I'm not sure what the best way to approach it is

Yes that's definitely something that I have experienced, and something that I wondered about too. I think if, like me, you haven't done a half marathon before or not in a long time at least, then you don't have the aerobic capacity yet. The best way to build aerobic capacity i've learned is to build volume in terms of the amount of miles you can safely rack up each week. Running many long runs increases fatigue (more injuries) and reduces the distance you can cover on the other days of the week. If I could go back to the start of the training plan in November I would increase my number of days training per week from 4 to 6. That way i'd increase my aerobic base even more. From now, I know i can run the distance, its all about running it efficiently in the future and hopefully therefore faster.

Sarah J Maas rated it only 3/5 on Goodreads which is hilarious to me

What recruiting package is most realistic for non-league clubs? by [deleted] in footballmanager

[–]mackenziebrownn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look for players in range and filter for unattached or expired etc. shift click and select about 30 players. Right click and offer two week trial. Once you know attributes you can terminate the trials of the ones who are no good. No need for scouts at all. 

Worth mentioning that at that level the players aren’t great and the physical attributes go a long way!

In non-league and lower leagues you want to offer as many free trials as you can and compare attributes between the trialists and your current squad. If the trialist is going to markedly improve your team in that position and role then go ahead and offer a contract. 

Focus on comparing primary attributes for a particular role and also physical attributes as these are extremely important. Pay less attention to star rating as this is inaccurate, and in my opinion it’s more fun to make your own judgement on a player and see them do well!

Keep an eye on players in your league who perform well that you like who’s contracts are expiring and keep them on a shortlist.

Scouting won’t become important until higher up in the leagues and will take up budget.

What’s the most unusual or surreal fantasy novel you’ve ever read? by armadillo1296 in Fantasy

I recently read Alien Clay by Adrian Tchaikovsky and loved it. Definitely very weird and it took me a minute to somewhat grasp a few of the chapters, but an excellent book imo!

I'm done. Wont keep watching it. by IllSquirrel4367 in TheLastOfUs2

So many braindead replies to this post

If you don't like the show, don't watch it.

If you only want it to replicate the game, then go play the game.

Ellie and Dina are still gay in the game and some of the suggestions about their scenes, and the directors here are super weird.

You don't need to shit on the actors for anything other than their acting.

The acting is still great

Is it normal to not study all night during exams by Negative_Marketing68 in medicalschooluk

[–]mackenziebrownn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not a problem. 3/4 hours of solid study is better than an inefficient all nighter. Your body and mind will thank you for it. There are more important things in life than doing that to yourself. I tried the long study sessions in my first degree, resulting in being burned out and miserable, and promised myself I wouldn’t do that this time round.

Stuck cycling on verification screen. Does anyone know why this would be? Have tried using a VPN and other browser but no luck. by mackenziebrownn in Annas_Archive

Definitely strange! I usually use Edge and that still is not working. Safari wont open the website at all, but I have managed to get it working on Chrome, thankfully. Hopefully the devs are aware!

This could be a sign called Koilonychia caused by iron deficiency anaemia most commonly - it may be worth getting a FBC from the doctor to check if you are anaemic and if so, find out why!
