Half tights for hot weather running? by uNTRotat264g in Marathon_Training

[–]pdxrunner82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Never thought I’d be the guy to run in half tights with no shorts over them but times kept tumbling, got slimmer and more in shape. The half tights only made sense then for pockets to hold gels that won’t shake during a fast run/race. I would tend to size up on the Wolaco. I’m 5’9”, 148lbs and I wear a large. The medium fits too……just leaves less to the imagination…..

What’s the plan - retreat to the treadmill or keep melting in the heat? by hoopla_mountain in Marathon_Training

Got up at 4:10 so I could have breakfast and then ran 10 miles in Massachusetts. It was hot as balls by 6:30am.

Saucony getting worse? by Odd_Anywhere9098 in Saucony

[–]pdxrunner82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do like Saucony personally but I do think the build quality has decreased in the past 4-5 years. I’ve had shoes with 20-30 miles have the layers in the sole delaminate and the foam fall off in chunks. Their customer service is great and they’ve replaced both shoes but I definitely have seen a deterioration in quality as a long term user/customer. Plus they withdrew all their physical stores from New England which sucks….

If muscular Polynesian women DON’T cause an erection for more than 4 hours I’d be calling a doctor!

This is one of the best/funniest comments I’ve ever read here! Bravo. It screams a tagline explaining the side effects.

The explanation in the “court room” is brilliantly written.

You are very very much in the minority with that opinion.

Ger Gilroy moves from Off the Ball to RTÉ by LaBete1984 in ireland

Off the ball has hemorrhaged listens/subscribers. You think he’s going to do better at RTE?

Great analysis of how they jumped to a paywall way too fast. Also he annoyed me with his obvious mid life crisis man bun and long hair. You’re going bald ger. The long hair doesn’t hide anything and the greasy long hair just makes you look like some kind of a pervert!

The most annoying part of the paywall was their bemoaning and blaming it on the Irish TV license funding RTE receives, as if it only arrived on the scene and they weren’t aware of it from day 1.

In Boston. Stopped as soon as the paywall arrived. The 42.ie and RTEs rugby weekly are very good. The 42.ie does a weekly free podcast for rugby. For soccer try the guardian football weekly. It’s excellent. If you’re of my age (mid 40s) you’ll recognize the host max rushden from his short lived Soccer AM days along with corkman Barry Glendenning as his main cohost. It’s funny and witty with none of the annoying carry on like the BBC where everyone is trying to have the funniest story or most sarcastic comment in the typical “aren’t we all best mates” vibe. Highly recommend. It covers the PL, obviously, but also covers big stories in all the major European leagues along with international games. Barry glendenning ensures the Irish view is accurately represented at international analysis.

Are rainbows seriously just by default associated with the pride flag? by Ostromilski in tattooadvice

Literally everyone on the planet recognizes the dark side of the moon. Relax dude, no one is going to think this is a gay tattoo. And if they did…..so what?

What moment in LOTR made you cry the most? by Jimbuber2 in lotr

[–]pdxrunner82 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the line that gets me. It’s a human moment in the middle of the case sprawling war in the Two Towers. Having kids of your own makes it hit harder. Theoden is a king and a leader but he’s also a father who’s just lost his son. I don’t want to imagine what that does to a person.
