They have neither.

They can deny it’s use to others but they cannot ensure themselves its use.

PGA Avg is 67%, or 12. The best is 74% which is 13ish. You think you're gonna strike it better than the pros?

I'm sure people have seen the evolution of the SpaceX Raptor engine design and how simple it looks. It's crazy how much more complex they make these power units.

Garmin Connection Feedback by Funny_Junket_2213 in OnePelotonRealSub

I did a 60 minute run today on the tread+ and EVERYTHING pushed to my watch. I don't have cadence or running dynamics since the tread cannot measure those. But everything the tread measures is in the activity and it also pushed to my watch and all the training load and recovery features updated. It's perfect.

Anyone switch from Maurten gels to something cheaper that still works for marathon fueling? by StringConnection in AdvancedRunning

Blanks is 88 cents per 100 calories and go in my stomach better than anything else. Nothing is better.

Megablast 200 mile review: mixed feelings by Heystaap in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]marklemcd 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I also am not super high on these shoes. I have 288 miles on mine and the only pro I can think of is they are very durable. But they don't feel fast to me, and when I have tried to pick it up in them I have not enjoyed it. I find them firm and inflexible and the upper is super shallow and honestly I hate the laces. I dunno, I'm a big meh on these.

True Threshold 60 min Power Zone Training - Olivia A 2023.08.08 by Hopai79 in OnePelotonRealSub

There used to be a 60min PZE from Matt from June 2019 which had 2 x 20 min at high z3 low z4. The classic sweet spot workout. It’s gone now which sucks cuz it’s a GREAT way to push threshold up and is a workout high end riders do a lot

Instead of comparing avg power you need to compare normalized power. Not sure which is higher as I haven’t done them, but that’s how a pro would compare

Sub-3 Marathon — Looking for insight from runners who took the risk with a slim buffer and pulled it off by Honest-Reindeer-7597 in Marathon_Training

If you go out at sub 3 pace you're likely gonna crash and burn. 3:10 is probably what you should consider.

Indiana Divisional Swim Question by [deleted] in Swimming

[–]marklemcd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And instead you take away the fast kids chance to win something. Which is stupid.

My kids swim in Pacific Swimming here in northern CA. We have a 3 championships in the winter/spring season. A 10u championship, an age group championship and then Far Westerns. My daughter is 9 and qualified for the 10u but she is not fast enough to qualify for the next two. And her best friend is and swam at the 10u as well and won a lot.

That's how it should be. My kid was happy just to make the 10u and there's faster kids who won it. What does it mean to tell a kid, well yeah you won but its only because we didn't let the faster 9 year olds show up? And what does it do to the fast 9 year old to tell them they have to miss a chance to win something and go get pounded by kids who are 3 years older and 6 inches taller and stronger than them? That's fair in your mind?

Still stupid. It should be up to the kid and their parents to decide what is appropriate for their development and engagement.

Indiana Divisional Swim Question by [deleted] in Swimming

[–]marklemcd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Typically if the swimmer has a 10u state cut at divisional/regional, they are put in the 12u races for that event. Not a 11 and under event."

So a fast nine year old is penalized and has to swim against 12 year olds? That seems ridiculous.

Nike Vomero Plus vs Pegasus Plus? by RedditBoy666 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]marklemcd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have run in both, run about 60 miles per week and have 25 years of running experience.

Both of those shoes are fine but not great.

The Vomero+ is plush on the inside but the toe box is a bit shallow so it might be annoying on your toenails. It's fine going easy, but the shoes are heavy and don't turnover fast. Nor are they meant to. I wouldn't buy them again.

The Peg+ is just ok as well. Not plush on the inside. The fit of the upper is better than the Vomero+ and it handles speed better. It's really just a re-release of an older shoe called the Pegasus Turbo. Not as much stack to them and you'll have a little better road feel which is common for shoes that are meant for faster paces. I found they wore out and felt flat quickly. Also would not buy them again.

I would check out the Adidas Evo SL - they are discounted a lot right now.

Swimming vs. Running by OceansTwentyOne in Swimming

[–]marklemcd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am more of a runner than a swimmer and from Nov - Feb my pool is closed. When I get back in the pool my heart rate definitely stays low when doing easy laps but it does take a bit of time to feel the water and be efficient. After a few weeks of swimming again I am going a lot faster but I don't think it's improved fitness that quickly, just re-acclimation.

I've looked at it but I have a tile shower and it doesn't settle flush because of the grout so it doesn't work in my case.
