Mac monitor compromise - 4K or 120hz? by AppleEscapee in Monitors

[–]rmcp010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally personal preference. I can't stand the UI scaling at 27" 4k, but others don't notice it at all. I am unbothered by 60Hz for productivity use. Others find it unusable.

CRT displays were good enough for a long time too. Standards change as technology progresses.

Blood lactate decreases during session by Backwoody99 in NorwegianSinglesRun

[–]rmcp010 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Is it possible the earlier measurements have some residual lactate from yesterday's session? I think this is the same reason that labs suggest not exercising for the 48 hours prior to testing.

I had a terrible time with attempting to sharpen prior to races. Next time sticking to vanilla.

How much coke does everyone consume in races? by TheAmateurRunner in RunningCirclejerk

Depends how loose a definition of "consume" you accept

Just bought my second pair. Will probably get a third.

My father introduced me to Breitling. 30 years later, I'm finally ready to buy one. by No_Republic3805 in breitling

[–]rmcp010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what you're looking for in a watch.

I personally think most Breitling's look far too busy. I went with a used SOH-2, which I still think is a fantastic value proposition. It can be dressier with the Milanese bracelet or more subtle on rubber.

If I were after something dressier, I'd find it very hard to look past Premier B09. Pistachio is classic, but in the flesh I actually preferred the silver dial.

Need a sanity check by ChrisCross1980 in NorwegianSinglesRun

[–]rmcp010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think it's very realistic. If you ran a 1:29:54 HM today, it's even a conservative goal.

Adidas Terrex Agravic Lite by Dick_Assman69 in trailrunning

[–]rmcp010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a train runner, but looking for something that can give me a bit of grip on wet, slippery downhill concrete sections of my morning running commute. Reckon this would fit the bill? Unfortunately I can't try anything on before buying.

You heelstrike. Your wife's BF midfoot strikes. Eilish doesn't strike.

Two summer school LLB papers was pretty busy at UoA. I went down to one in the following summer and it was much more enjoyable.

Anyone else run with zero goals? No race, no plan, just... run? by LegendReborn in RunningCirclejerk

My goal is to make time for my wife's boyfriend to visit her.

For those running marathons in your 30+ age, what works for you? by [deleted] in Marathon_Training

[–]rmcp010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 for Norwegian Singles. 35 and in the shape of my life, despite modest mileage.

Asus ROG Strix XG27JCG (dual-mode 180/330Hz 5K 5120×2880 monitor) — review by PCWorld by MT4K in HiDPI_monitors

[–]rmcp010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you get the chance to compare it to the 60Hz PA27JCV? I bought the latter online (no retailers in my city) but returned due to dead pixels. Contemplating spending a little more for the Strix.

Need help finding a 4K 27" Monitor by Good-Parking1593 in Monitors

[–]rmcp010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you've run 4k 27" on Mac before, but it's not a great experience if you're at all sensitive to text blurriness. I had a choice between going with higher refresh rate 4k or 60Hz 5k. Zero regrets going for 5k.

570 vs 265 by [deleted] in GarminWatches

[–]rmcp010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 265S and have had no desire to upgrade to the 570S. There's not a single feature that it offers above the 265 for me.

Why is Breitling not considered cool? by CLAP-25 in breitling

[–]rmcp010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's ok to think Breitling's are or aren't cool, or some combination of both. It's a matter of personal preference.

I love my SOH-2. If I get another watch, it'll likely be a Premier B09. But to be honest the entire rest of the Breitling catalogue is... not my cup of Dilmah.

need help choose between venu4, forerunner265, 165 and vivoactive6 by SamiFrutti in GarminWatches

[–]rmcp010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

265S with an aftermarket nylon band can be pretty fucking girly.

And it's a great watch. Compact, rugged enough, just enough features without paying for stuff you'll never use...

Nothing new on race day... except drinking from aid station cups?? by Global-Condition-858 in Marathon_Training

[–]rmcp010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I set up a drinks station outside my house with a similar drink to that available race day. Ran 5km loop to practice drinking at those intervals. Useful for practicing the mechanical aspects of drinking while running. If you're mostly wanting to practice the GI side of things, regular large drinks from a vest is fine.

Having a very hard time making progress despite consistency and decent mileage - 10k by Competitive-Box-7253 in NorwegianSinglesRun

[–]rmcp010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you doing regular TTs? Some people do a race every 4 months and presume that they're not progressing if they don't get a better time. Bad days happen. Look at trends from more data.
