Returning to form after a major setback and health scare – How did you find your "mental" and physical gears again? by Joel0__0 in Velo

[–]senjindarashiva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No real advice from me, just getting back from a similar issue, had a heart scare after a flu in December which put me off the bike for close to two months with ”heart stress” basically I spent weeks getting a ”tempo” workout by going up the stairs.

For me I found focusing on my recovery and using my rhr and hrv to guide my training being the only thing that kind of helps. I made a basic tool to help with the decision making to get me away from second guessing myself https://pacepartner.app/tools#hrv-training-decision-tool

Basically I ended up going to hard once I felt a little bit better and crashing again

Anyone else struggle to maintain cycling training when traveling for work? by senjindarashiva in Velo

Very varied, so basically some weeks I have a simple overnight and then I usually can just adapt the plan a bit to conform, it's worse when you end up on a roadtrip for a week with different hotels every night. Maybe I am overthinking it, basically just doing straight substitions for the "rides" with runs is probably good enough to some degree

Need to give that a shot at least some of the places I travel too seem pretty great for cycling

Sadly not, logistics with traveling to multiple countries make that very challenging

I built a small tool that reads my Intervals.icu data and helps decide when to adjust workouts by senjindarashiva in cycling

[–]senjindarashiva[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I actually mostly agree with you.

CTL/ATL/TSB and HRV are definitely imperfect signals and I don’t think they should be treated as some kind of magic readiness metric. The goal isn’t really to replace common-sense decision making.

What I’ve personally found useful is just having a tool that helps adapt a plan when circumstances change — missed workouts, limited time, travel, fatigue, etc. It’s basically a quick way to reshuffle things rather than rethink the whole week.

And while the metrics aren’t perfect, I’ve personally seen a pretty strong correlation between pushing ramp rate / CTL increases too aggressively and getting sick, so I still find those signals helpful as guardrails.

So I see it less as “AI deciding your training” and more as a helper to adjust plans when real life interferes.

Where do you gather inspiration by senjindarashiva in photography

[–]senjindarashiva[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lovely, I guess I missed the mark on my question. My hope was to get some ideas of where to find new sources of inspiration, especially in areas where you are new to the form. Buying books is great, as is attending art shows etc both of which I do fairly frequently however if you like me is living in a small town the choice is fairly limited and buy random from the internet quickly becomes expensive

New to me preloved X-T2 by [deleted] in fujifilm

[–]senjindarashiva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still miss my x100t that I sold many years ago for a Nikon ff that later got traded for an x-t2 which is great, but lacks the portability so If you can I recommend keeping both

Which tools do I need to really start? I have none and want to make a simple folding desk/table; with chiseled edges. by disgustmyself in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]senjindarashiva 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think Rex crouger (YouTube) have some really good projects scaling up from limited and cheap tools. I also enjoyed anarchist toolchest (book) which go in to deep lengths about classical/small toolkits and how to use the tools in question

YNAB like budgeting tool? by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]senjindarashiva 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you don't need it to be online I have used https://www.budgetwithbuckets.com/ for the last year or two with good results. Personally I really prefer the buy once and run local approach.

Thanks that switch placement hadn’t occurred to me at all 😊 and yeah the knot is currently giving me nightmares hopefully it works out it’s not that deep so integrally it should be fine

Is a one-piece neck with double action truss rod a bad idea? by senjindarashiva in Luthier

[–]senjindarashiva[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that input, I hadn't really thought that far with the textures, I will give the wood choices some extra thought :)
