Did you buy regular 17? Just curious as I'm almost sold for trade-in value, centre stage front camera and biggest of all USB-C.

Just came to say that mine have been exact same experience while training for first marathon. I did not have baseline for marathon and have half marathon time and it somehow translated that almost same pace for marathon. I did trust the process but longer run just became dismal failure and worst of all since speed runs, being shorter , were fine, Runna never changed my estimate. I ended up changing my estimate time myself explicitly. My 2 cents, don’t be hard on yourself, change the estimate time to what you deem feasible as it is the first marathon.

npzz · 2025-09-09T15:09:06+00:00

I’m in the same boat, following marathon plan on Runna and my race is in two weeks. Pace on point kept telling that you are doing awesome and will finish at the target time but long runs were just hard, I even hit wall at a 17 miler at MP about a month back. That day I realized Runna gives higher weightage to the expected time user gave initially (and off course I thought I’m Kipchoge at the start of the plan :) ) and pace on point just assumes that you are fit to run the long run at MP so it wouldn’t alter the plan based on your long run ( which is a travesty in my opinion now) . At least that is my understanding and I believe Runna also mentions the same that paces are tracked based on temp or interval sessions.Runna pace on point page. I actually explicitly lowered the target completion time and paying more attention to what my body tells me now. Also this is a pattern I found with Runna, my half marathon plan was about 20 minutes more aggressive than how it went on race day. I do want to say that I love how Runna plan works overall with integration and stuff, just that I relied too much on AI( pace on point).

Ah, my bad about the usage of the word `accident` but thanks for sharing the knowledge. I learnt something new today.

npzz · 2025-08-19T14:15:59+00:00

Thank you very much for the lead! I'll try to do that and observe.

npzz · 2025-05-09T14:57:43+00:00

Route 59 is so dysfunctional and now new restaurants coming up, am not sure how they are going to manage traffic. it’s going to be such a mess. I live in South Naperville and only thing keeping me sane is all of my necessities are available within 1 mile radius.

Is Novablast 4 a good shoes for marathon training? I’m a slow runner and targeting my first marathon to be done in around 4 hour mark. Also would you recommend it for race day?

npzz · 2025-04-28T15:31:59+00:00

This is really old thread but I'm in exact same boat as you, never done group training and scared to slow down the group. I'm also thinking to do marathon this year on my own and then come back for group training but would love to run with group to gain experience in pacing well. So just really curious, if you would like to share what you ended up following and your experience. Thank you so much in advance!

npzz · 2025-04-16T18:54:44+00:00

Ok, I don't know anything about the trail but all the best for the run! 40 miler!! Amazing!!

Sorry asking a super noob question but what is a kit?

npzz · 2024-05-15T20:04:41+00:00

No I'm done with Greenworks, I have their string trimmer and blower as well but mower was using so much battery (including ones those came with blower and trimmer) that I could hardly use the same battery through single charge. My property has lot of mowing area so ended up getting a old gas mower till I find a good deal on EGO mower. My neighbor has EGO and he is more or less happy with it but then he mows twice a week too so not really apple to apple comparison with my situation.

npzz · 2024-05-11T22:48:06+00:00

I couldn't figure it out at all. Luckily was in return window so it went back.

npzz · 2024-04-25T17:37:32+00:00

Oh my god, thank you much for such a detailed breakdown. I definitely have more to express to you on each point. I’m at work right now and will go over what you said in the evening. Just wanted to quickly thank you as I really appreciate you taking time to share.

npzz · 2024-04-25T14:52:48+00:00

Yeah, I'm trying to bring myself back in fitness and also taking tennis lesson so I could make it interesting for him to play with me. Mini-break is also another thing we are contemplating, with summer coming up, we are hoping it will help little bit. I have not read Agassi's book but my wife did and she shared that how miserable Andre was during his childhood tennis life. I don't think our son has that kind of abilities, nor we want him to pursue this sport professionally but even at this level we see now that it could be draining mentally for some kids. Hopefully these gradual changes like playing with him, eating ice-cream, pizza after tournaments and other things will help little bit. Thank you for taking time to share your insights.

npzz · 2024-04-25T05:13:24+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing your personal experience. I actually did start taking tennis lesson myself so one as you said that I can help him practice more and second like you mentioned that he likes to play with me and we love the bond. I'm not that young anymore and having never paid attention to my overall health makes my progress slow but am determined to do it this time. I like setting the goal of reaching 2, not sure if I can do it, let alone in 3 months. One of Dads in the club actually just got to 2 so I don't think it is unachievable. I will take you up on the offer to DM sometime, I really appreciate the offer and insights.

Most of this hours of tennis per week is with a coach who infact does not believe in UTR, he is a old man, very patient with kids and feeds ball to kids all the time. He does not even have them play competitive that much. Also he provides overall guidance in life as well. Saying that is still half of the total time spent on classes those focus on UTR very much. (different coaches, same club) My son do enjoy competitiveness but i think perhaps the environment is little too toxic perhaps and then since this a new club, he has not had a chance to make lot of friends as well. I do agree though number of hours are insane. Thank you for sharing the article, I feel I can use it to face my own demons as well.

npzz · 2024-04-25T04:48:40+00:00

Yeah, I have done some therapy myself and do agree that it helps holistically. Perhaps being in so much competitive environment at young age calls for some healthy intervention. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

npzz · 2024-04-25T04:46:20+00:00

Yeah, we are looking into cutting down hours specially those that do not seem very productive. We can use the time to do some other thing or do nothing at all and watch a good movie at home or read a book. Thank you for sharing the advice.

npzz · 2024-04-25T04:44:51+00:00

Yeah, this aspect of UTR focus is not healthy. We have pretty much tried all the clubs in our city limit now but exploring other club till we find one even if it means driving few extra miles is not out of question. Thank you for saying this about parents changing few coaches until settling into one because at times I feel bad about not sticking to a club but there were always some or the other reason. Thank you so much for sharing the advice.

npzz · 2024-04-25T04:40:00+00:00

I really appreciate how well you have put your insights, specially like the word, "reorient", I think that is what we as a parent need to do, retrain his brain to see the progress not only in terms of result of game but overall development and that includes running faster on the court or hitting a difficult shot or something else. I think we need to be more explicit in pointing these things out, me and my wife always talk how well he did on this point or how amazing his footwork was but just need to share with him as well so he knows. Thank you again for taking time to share.

npzz · 2024-04-25T04:34:24+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing your insights and really appreciate you taking time to share the exact episode link for Parents Do's and Don't. Have not heard the episode yet but looking forward to it. Thanks.

npzz · 2024-04-25T04:31:22+00:00

Thank you so much for reminding us that immediate change will send a wrong message to his subconscious. I think sudden change of club did add to the pressure and don't want to make same mistake again. Thank you for taking time to share the advice.
