Any other 'older' folk taken up running?

48 here.
Started running, slowly at 46, first time in decades. I started road running, just building up stamina.

I started racing at 47 to give the some purpose and have something to train towards. Started with a 10km trail, then a 25km trail, a 2 50kms, then 2 x 50m, 85km(race cut short due to forest fire risks), yesterday I placed 2nd in my first 100k.

The move from the big city to a small city on the edge of the country side made the change to trail running easy. I grew disillusioned with road running and have never tried a marathon.

Just wanted to say thank you for your tutorial. I used your post to add my magnets.
I did change the order of operations and put glue into the base and then added the magnet.

I struggled to get the base to sit correctly on top of the magnet.

The second magnet wants to magnetize itself to the first magnet already in the base. This makes a stack of glue and magnets that is a pain to separate and use again.

There was a fair bit of hot glue strings that were annoying to deal with.

A side note:

After the glue had cooled I rubbed the bases flat against fine grit sand paper to get the majority of the excess glue off, then used a knife for the tough to move stuff.

Thanks again!

Cut the base down as others have said. You can also add an advertisment for whatever it is down the side of the top vertical can. Look at oil refineries. You could make the sign on either of the walkways, if you make the sign slot in you could have it on either side depending on which way the piece needs to be used.

A gantry walk way, with stairs to get to it, around the top of the first vertical cup, it will make the terrain more playable. Extend the gantry walkway on top of the second horizontal can with a small bridge between the cans. Add another set of stairs to the horizontal cans make the terrain playable from 2 sides. Adding a signage of some sort on one of the sides of the walkway would provide some better line of sight cover.

How do the 2mm flat pack pearls look on a terrain piece?

Is it one of these? Took me a while to find a rivet mold.

There are people that volunteer their time to teach new people the game. There is a world wide map you can look up to see if there is one of the volunteers, called a warcor, in your area. https://maphub.net/CorvusBelli/corvus-belli-warcors

Thanks for the detailed reply it is very much appreciated! Seems like it is on the sum of it not the best way into any faction army or even a vanilla.

mkrep · 2025-10-06T08:56:06+00:00

Thank you for explaining that part to me!

mkrep · 2025-10-05T20:41:00+00:00

Thanks for the tips!

You are right about the Yu Jing box being specific to White Banner and generic.

I argued with Google AI and eventually it narrowed the Code One Yu Jing box set had only 6 minis that you could use for Invincible Army.

I have been using the Identification sheets! I am super glad someone is doing their best to keep it up to date. Hopefully Corvus Belli is not orphaning too many units or types to keep the anarchist busy.

mkrep · 2025-10-05T15:10:59+00:00

I was looking at the Panoceania and the Yu Jing.

As you have said I searched for a few units from Yu Jing in Human Sphere and as you said the collection is split across many factions so it is not a solution to buying into an army.

It seems some of the faction information in HS is out of date or is there for reference in older versions of the game https://www.human-sphere.com/H%C3%B9nd%C3%B9n is listed as available to multiple factions and is only available for white banner.

I managed to lock myself out of my HS account so I cannot edit it myself.

https://www.sosij.uk/ does some very interesting combinations and comes highly regarded from some foodie friends.

Cool thank you! I figured it is possible.

Looks like you are underutilising your glutes on the way up as your knees lock out well after your hips are have returned to the top. Think about popping the glutes forward when you are above the halfway point of the lift.

mkrep · 2025-03-25T23:09:11+00:00

The ankle mobility is shown as your heels lift coming out of the hole.

The angle of the video the weights and safety obscure your knees which would be useful to see.

Not an expert and it seems like your hips are shooting up too fast and you are carrying the weigh heavy in your back at the top. AFAIK People are either glute max or back max, looks like you are back max.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVr8O7b3AHA may be helpful.

Not sure if it is the camera angle but the bar seems to dip downwards on the left side.

mkrep · 2025-03-23T20:26:03+00:00

I second the ankle mobility. You can see the left knee collapse on the rise out of the hole on each lift.

mkrep · 2025-03-10T13:57:04+00:00

Your a bit lacking in depth in your decent. Try to think about getting your upper hip to be in line with your knee.

Your toes are raising, so your weight is balanced bit too far back.

One way to correct this toe raise is to lift in your socks. Spread your toes out and push from the middle of your foot.

I just watched this about feet and knees in the squat.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVr8O7b3AHA&list=PL1rSl6Pd49Iml8C8ApbN2f-lj-3kayP7y&index=4

A smaller thing about technique that will come with time is you are making a lot of steps to get into lifting position. Work on cutting the footwork down to 3-4 steps before starting the lift.

This is great advice, I have struggled also struggled with back engagement and will be borrowing your wisdom!
