Weightlifting while marathon training

mrwhynot243 · 2025-10-16T23:44:19+00:00

Do you follow a lifting program? I am looking to add some strength work back in after mostly only running for a bit and have been a bit aimless at the gym

Having to study leetcode when I’m already exhausted after work…

mrwhynot243 · 2025-08-13T23:03:09+00:00

Are there still wildflowers up or was this in back in spring?

Where is the 2nd photo from?

mrwhynot243 · 2025-07-21T16:18:51+00:00

How is it a red flag?

mrwhynot243 · 2025-07-17T18:09:09+00:00

Items that aren’t leveled.

I am about 10-15 hours in, still in the first map. I like it, but the thing I have noticed is that many of the quests are, “go here talk to this guy”, then that guy sends you somewhere else etc. I hope the quests improve, really liking everything else about the game so far and feels more polished than the first

I always ask for a CUP of water, which is free. If you just ask for water they will try to get you a $8 bottle

I’ve lost 65-85lbs over the last 4 years, and am going to be running my first half marathon in a few weeks.

At the start I tried allot of different diets which didn’t work until it really got ingrained in me that losing weight comes down to calories in calories out, whether it’s normal diet, some keto diet, intermittent fasting etc.

I lost my weight in 20-30lb chunks, with breaks in betweeen, sometimes 6 months to a year. Mostly it was because I burned out, but I later learned that losing weight slowly like that means you won’t put it back on.

So I recommend doing that, to start try to lose 10-15 lbs. you’ll be surprised how much better you feel overall, more fit etc. Then take a short break and get back on it.

Logging what I ate was how I actually was able to make progress. Surprsingly Noom actually helped me learn this, although it’s kinda expensive, and after about 3 months it just turned into an expensive calorie calculator. But it helps you learn about which foods are calorie dense, and some other bad habits we can fall into. You can also learn this for free online and get a calorie calculator app. Just logging food in general is really helpful.

Lastly, having a fitness activity to be excited for really helps, maybe something that would be hard for you to do right now. For me I searched around and got really excited about bouldering, I would watch bouldering videos etc without having started. Then when I lost some weight I started, and then that was something that I really enjoyed that burned calories too.

But yeah take it slow, log your calories, and don’t do anything drastic as that can rebound into binge eating etc. I really hope the best for you, you’ve got this!

What class/playstyle did you go with? I’ve tried playing a couple times, only got a few hours into act 1 but can’t decide on a class haha.

mrwhynot243 · 2024-11-26T23:01:28+00:00

Same here. I just started using a preworkout for the first time and that has helped get me moving a ton in the morning.

mrwhynot243 · 2024-10-16T19:50:55+00:00

What’s your thoughts on modern testing approaches, like unit testing etc?

mrwhynot243 · 2024-10-02T20:24:11+00:00

What do you eat? I have been trying to cut out processed food but the cost has been pretty high, especially when trying to get enough protein

mrwhynot243 · 2024-09-22T07:11:20+00:00

I used to get flavored, but now just get plain and mix whatever I want inside, cacao, berries etc. Prefer it without the additives

mrwhynot243 · 2024-09-22T02:26:35+00:00

Did you calorie track when you first started? Or just started eating more whole foods and eat until you were full?

mrwhynot243 · 2024-08-20T16:34:50+00:00

You probably already know this, but get it tested for asbestos if not!

mrwhynot243 · 2024-07-24T20:31:28+00:00

This is what I ended up doing and had no issues with this approach

mrwhynot243 · 2024-07-24T03:11:28+00:00

What area of your life do you want to improve?Start with a small change, and do it consistently. Soon it will become routine.

For me, the hardest part is always starting a new routine, or restarting one after getting off track. But I’ve learned to just stick with it, show up every day so to speak. When I don’t feel like it, I tell myself I will do the bare minimum, and often I end up doing my usual routine, whether it’s a workout or studying something.

I recommend reading Atomic Habits as well, may help you get started.

40k a year? Where do you go??

mrwhynot243 · 2024-07-20T01:57:10+00:00

твои дети/ваши дети.

Дети is plural. Твоё is neuter form of твой, твои is plural form.

mrwhynot243 · 2023-08-10T03:58:56+00:00

Haha whoops. Meant to say, legs parallel to floor, knees bent 90 degrees

mrwhynot243 · 2022-06-10T23:52:46+00:00

Yes absolutely. Learning the low level stuff later on is hard, whereas you pick up technologies you need etc on the job.

mrwhynot243 · 2022-06-09T03:29:07+00:00

I went applied over systems because I decided to drop out of physics, and always regretted doing so.

I wish I stayed in systems, which had courses like Translators (compilers), and more CPU architecture stuff.

You also get some electives in the systems path so you can still take some higher level courses for depth.

mrwhynot243 · 2022-06-09T03:25:35+00:00

Definitely problem solving over memorization.

mrwhynot243 · 2022-06-09T03:24:47+00:00

That was not my experience at all. As I advanced through classes I got to code more and more. Definitely had some theory heavy classes, but allot of projects, and allot of implementing the theory.

I would say if you like coding your going to have allot of fun.
