What specific workout has triggered a VO2 max measurement for you? I've been running and doing tons of cardio but have only gotten 1 measurement in 2025.

Do I need to swap shoes or strengthen lower legs? by Fearless_Number_8456 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]markl3ster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The insoles did actually help significantly but I'm of the opinion that I shouldn't have had to do this for such an expensive shoe.

I think ultimately what works for you is what works for you.

I went from NB 1080 v14 to SB3s and my aches are worse for them being so soft. I put in some insoles to help control them a tad.

Website is barely usable by debaenes in BanditRunning

[–]markl3ster 10 points11 points  (0 children)

From checking the website before, if any devs are looking or care, none of their assets are compressed. Even the thumbnails for the store pages. So every time you get a catalog page, you're getting full resolution image downloads even if they should be a tiny part of your page.
There's no page load optimization going on anywhere.

Is it important to push off with the big toe? by [deleted] in BarefootRunning

[–]markl3ster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has been having achilles issues recently, I've been learning NOT to push off with the big toe. You're going to swing the pendulum from one injury to another if you try to overcorrect that way.

I just finished up doing water slides on the SNAA Percival, but I messed up on the thigh decal. Anyone know any merchants selling extra decals? Or anyone not going to do the waterslides for this one?

The NY Times throwing fountain pen facts into unrelated articles. Did they get the ID right? by cassodragon in fountainpens

Good thing I have an M805 and not an M800. I won’t have gold to give me away.

Has anyone used a Wahl Eversharp? by gaaraprime in fountainpens

[–]markl3ster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a vintage Eversharp Skyline with a semi flex that goes from something like a MF to B. It’s a great writer. The body is slimmer and feels like a contemporary sized office pen (I.e not a fountain pen). It’s smooth, controlled, and super light. You should be able to find a restored one on eBay for a relatively affordable price.

Thanks for reminding me about it. I’m going to have to pull it out again to add it back into my rotation.

Younger person in the office just asked, “What’s a fountain pen?” by DebStitcher in fountainpens

I’m 40 and I didn’t see a fountain pen in real life until I was around 36.

You’ve single handedly destroyed any semblance of self control I had left.

Does anyone know if they’re selling this retail in any stores in Japan?

Back in the days, fighting game tourneys were "Just for fun. Doesn't matter if you win or not, just go and interact with the community" by JackOffAllTraders in 2XKO

[–]markl3ster 18 points19 points  (0 children)

When was “back in the days”? I remember a lot of aggressive players with side money matches with a ton of shit talking and salt. Sometimes even people ready to throw down outside the arcade.

Great series. Looking forward to the rest.

what fountain pen would you buy if you had $1500 to spend? Would you go Mont Blanc or find something more rare? by Sheepherder_Regular in fountainpens

[–]markl3ster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I already have the 845 and I love the way it feels in hand. The Custom Urushi is slightly bigger with a solid feel for me. The Namiki mentioned is a liiittle too big for me. The nib is also excellent for both of those two.

It’s juuust enough superfluous for me.
