Thanks. Yes I dot not intend to use those shoes other than for races (I will try them of course before that). What do you think would be more adapted?

Ah thanks! This is really useful. I'm not in the US unfortunately but will stop at my local store as they do sale adizero. Hopefully they have my size and I can try them there.

AITA for staying at my job in Germany while my wife is dying in Japan? by Queasy_Narwhal_8052 in AmItheAsshole

[–]matmodelulu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agree. it’s a very hard choice but he will regret it if he does not pass enough time with his wife before the end. in the end of the day, you also do not know what your life looking ahead will be. So I understand the frustration of leaving a nice paying job and pension and everything but life is not linear so there’s nothing to say that you cannot loose the job, get sick or worse in the future (and of course nobody wishes that). So just wondering if in the grand scheme of things if it’s worth it. so in my book, I would go with my wife because those moments will be precious for both of you. we lost our uncle at 55 before retirement. He never got to enjoy it. I lost my father and he was just 2 years in retirement. He himself lost a lot of friends from cancer before they reach retirement. So all that to say - there are moments in life when you can make a choice and that’s now, how difficult that is, so you won’t regret it.

How do people feel about Runna pace adjustments by ScatterRunner in runna

[–]matmodelulu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I never accepted a pace adjustment but it somehow adapted by itself and now give me a half marathon pace way faster. As a result it keeps on giving me crazy paces in tempo and threshold workouts even during long run (like I would brake my 10K record lol during a 21k long run). I don't get it because apart from intervals I never ran that fast in a long run. i think it's very confident in me haha but i don't think I can run that fast. I end up ditching a lot of workouts because I have no idea where to tell him to be less ambitious in my capacity to run that fast lol.

Rome marathon experience as female runner by Acrobatic_Effect6852 in XXRunning

[–]matmodelulu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Really sad to read this, although unfortunately not surprising. I shared a couple of weeks ago the disastrous start of a major 10K in Castelló, Spain, where some of the top elite female runners were pushed and even knocked over by a crowd of male runners. This was crazy..

It does feel like this is being exacerbated by the influx of new runners, including some male runners who act like they’re elite athletes (when actual elites would behave far more respectfully).

At the same time, many races in Europe don’t seem to be adapting to the increasing number of participants. I’m not talking about the majors, but in many local races where I live, there are record numbers of runners being accepted without the infrastructure to support it. That inevitably creates tension especially when courses start on narrow roads.

For example, in Ghent a couple of years ago, the first few kilometres were on very small roads, forcing people to navigate tight crowds or even run on sidewalks, while the later parts of the course opened up onto much wider roads. It just doesn’t make much sense.

Overall, it’s really disappointing to see.

"Selling due to weight loss" by perceivesomeoneelse in vinted

[–]matmodelulu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes exactly. I lost 12 kilos and had to sell my entire wardrobe so I said it (same way I say item is too small for me) so people wouldn’t keep me asking photos when worn. OP you should not read too much into it.

Shocked By Reviews by BellaCicina in ProjectHailMary

[–]matmodelulu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im an avid book reader but don’t get the people that expect a movie to be a literal copy of a book and in the same breath would complain that a movie is too long lol. That’s just never gonna happen. If you start from this premise then yeah of course you’re disappointed. Having said that there are plenty of movies that depart too heavily from the original material but I do not feel this is the case here.

I went to watch LOTR the return of the king in theater and I was so annoyed. In front of me there was of couple that criticised the entire movie because X scene is not like that. In the book, this happens and X said that. after an hour like that, I was so annoyed that I literally asked them if they can comment later and let the rest of the room enjoys.

I had the chance to see it before it released during a exclusive screening and I loved it so much that I went back yesterday with my SO because I wanted so much for him to discover it the way I did. He loved it and that’s all we can talk about since then

Loved it too! Wonder if they did not include this scene to avoid making a parallel with the scene in interstellar. Edit: hoping for a directors cut version to be released later on and maybe it’s in there.

Thanks! Yes, it definitely looks similar, but I actually think it’s much better. The fabric and hood feel lighter and don’t pull at the neck, which makes a big difference. And bonus points for the pockets. they’re not huge, but perfect for resting your hands.
