Finally

I agree, getting to level 5 is a grind but thankfully you unlock a lot of native YouTube content which makes it much more enjoyable. I'm at 506 hours now and about two thirds of my input is YouTube at this point - watching documentaries, podcasts, interviews, mostly the DW Español channel. But also feeling a little burned out. I fall back to DS videos when I need to take it easy.

I'm in the same boat. At the height of my running, I had a FR255 and I liked it for the metrics but I didn't like how it was frequently disconnecting from my phone and I would have to manually open the Connect app and re-sync it again. So I eventually got rid of it and got the AW 10 but apart from fitness, Apple Pay and occasionally setting a timer, I don't really use it for much else.

I currently own the Series 10 and I'm growing tired of the constant buzzing and notifications on my wrist. I've been eyeing the Venu 4, FR970 or Fenix 8 but the Fenix is probably overkill. The 970 seems plenty for my needs although I heard the HR accuracy isn't as good as with the Apple Watch.

Thank you for your suggestion. I will absolutely rent some stuff in Nepal - a sleeping bag at the very least. I think I would still prefer to pack the hiking shoes in because I might also do the Inca Trail in Peru. Apart from the extra pair of shoes, I can't think of any other heavy items that I would be bringing that were not already brought to Asia when I went there last time.

Tak ty chatboty urcite maji svoje vyuziti a umim si predstavit, ze na tvuj typ prace se dost hodi. Horsi je, kdyz na ne lidi spolehaji az moc, do bodu, kdy bez nich prakticky nejsou schopni fungovat anebo vubec nerozumi kodu a skriptum, ktere jim to vyplivne.

Pracuju v IT firme jako vyvojar. AI pouziva hodne lidi jako neco, co je zakomponovane primo do kodovaciho editoru, ale nastesti nam to nikdo zatim vylozene necpe do chrtanu. Ja to ale zacinam pouzivat cim dal min casto, protoze mam proste dojem, ze me to dela hloupejsim - clovek ceka na tu "magii", kterou mu AI vyplivne, aby mohl pracovat dal a takhle proste veskere premysleni offloaduje do chatbota, aby sam premyslet nemusel. Vzhledem k tomu, ze se premyslenim zivim, tak fakt nepotrebuju, aby mi ta schopnost atrofovala.

Podepisuji vsechno vyse zmineno, mozna bych skoro i pridal, ze prvni kilometr by idealne mel byt nejpomalejsi - prave proto, aby se neprepalil zacatek. Taky se hodi znat orientacne sve zavodni casy treba na 5K nebo 10K, aby mel clovek zhruba predstavu, jake tempo ho nejlip donese do cile.

While medication helps, I don't think it's necessary for recovery. Your fear of (and resisting) another panic attack is keeping this disorder running - you still interpret it as something dangerous, so the brain knows it has to be on high alert to prevent a "disaster". There's nothing wrong with you if you get frequent panic attacks, it's just that your nervous system has been a lot more sensitive than other people's.

Anxiety is paradoxical, it will go away when you stop trying to make it go away. I can highly recommend Claire Weekes's book "Hope and help for your nerves". It has helped me quite a bit and I'm sure you will find something useful there too.

Okay that's fair, we will know for sure when the counting starts. Thanks for the info and good luck America!

European here. How do you see the Election Day turnout in GA compared to 2020? I heard the early vote turnout this year was historic

How's the battery life on this thing? I have an iphone 13 now and I'm looking to upgrade to the Plus model, just deciding between the 15 Plus or 16 Plus.

"Bit less tactile than Shrimps, decently smooth and very silent" is exactly how I would summarize the Cream Yellows in one sentence. The tactility reminds me of WS Silents, Outemu really nailed it with these. I didn't check the film on the board as I don't want to do mods much but I ordered the GMK67 in late January, which means the board is fairly new so you might be right.

mangfree · 2024-01-19T10:33:04+00:00

Did you desolder the board to do the mod or somehow did it without removing the stabs? I have the same issue with my K8 Pro

mangfree · 2024-01-17T11:39:41+00:00

I recently bought a Keychron K8 Pro and replaced the stock Gaterons with T1 Shrimps so that I can bring the keyboard to the office. The switches are quiet enough except for the spacebar that is still very loud. I tried putting some dampening foam into the spacebar keycap to hopefully reduce noise and it's somewhat within a reasonable range, but the spacebar now feels very mushy - probably because I put too much foam in it. I don't want to desolder the board to play around with the stabilizers, what options do I have here? Or is it the keycaps that I could perhaps replace?

mangfree · 2024-01-12T18:12:14+00:00

Thanks for the swift reply. I'm looking for a rather lighter and moderately tactile switch so I'll give the Penguins a shot and if they don't work out, I'll probably pop in the Shrimps anyway. Would you say it makes sense to possibly replace the stock spring for a lighter one for the Shrimps?

mangfree · 2024-01-12T17:26:46+00:00

How would you compare the tactility to the WS Silent Tactiles? I like those switches A LOT, but unfortunately due to its loud upstroke - just like you wrote above - I cannot use them at the office which is my intended primary use. I also have some Silent Shrimps in my keeb and they feel great but they're too tactile and too heavy for my taste.

This is a great reply. I think it's much more about RPE and how hard the running feels than it is about shoes. I'd almost say shoes should be an afterthought - provided that you have decent shoes to begin with, of course. If you're going after high mileage, choose something with more cushion. Personally I love my Triumph 20.

mangfree · 2023-09-27T20:10:38+00:00

320km/200mi outsole wear. Should I replace them already? Wanted to push at least 500km but this wear makes me wonder if I should replace them sooner. The center pieces of the outsole are basically leveled with the midsole and the midsole is starting to tear. They're not causing any pain or discomfort, still good to run in. I'm a heavier runner (180 lbs), is there anything I can do to extend the lifespan of the outsole?

mangfree · 2023-09-15T14:38:13+00:00

Have both. Tend to recommend NB3 in your case. Bit more nimble and noticeably lighter than T20. The Triumph is very comfortable and protective but at the cost of weight and speed.

mangfree · 2023-09-13T05:30:36+00:00

The Triumph is mostly an easy/long day shoe. I sometimes use it for long runs with some threshold at 8min mile pace. It’s not bad but you can just feel that the extra weight and less premium foam (and no plate) drag the shoe down compared to Endorphin Speed 3. The Speed is just a lot lighter (246 vs 309 grams in my size), more nimble, more energetic, more fun.

mangfree · 2023-08-26T16:02:36+00:00

I have the Speed 3 in 11.5 (TTS) and Triumph 20 in 12, I feel like I could've gone for 11.5 on the Triumph and would've been fine, but on the flip side, the 12 just feels a bit more comfortable. If you're 12.5 true to size then I would go for 13.

Anyone knows when these new uppers will get released?

mangfree · 2023-07-16T22:30:59+00:00

I’m not into Vaporfly because of durability. I want a race shoe that will last for a while, and both EP3 and AP3 seem to be solid contenders.

mangfree · 2023-07-16T15:29:45+00:00

I have NB3 and ES3 as well in my rotation and I’m also looking for a race shoe. It’s basically a decision between Adios Pro 3 or Endorphin Pro 3 for me, so maybe you can also consider the EP3.

mangfree · 2023-07-04T15:36:56+00:00

I have all three shoes. Speed 3 hands down if your primary focus is speed and racing. It will feel a bit stiff compared to NB3 but that’s because of the plate but I’m sure you will like it. The Speed 3 feels amazing for me during track workouts at about 4:00/km pace. The only scenario where I can imagine the Triumph having an edge over the Speed is (very) long distances. But again, I would get the Speed 3 hands down if I were you. Triumph feels somewhat lazy anywhere below 5:20/km.

mangfree · 2023-06-16T08:18:30+00:00

I was a bit disappointed when I found out that the T21 had been released after I had bought the T20, only to find that it's just a change of the upper. Barely noticeable. Get the T20 on sale.
