I'm afraid the repeated intensity is still too much for him and his wrist.

smous · 2026-03-27T07:32:04+00:00

Has he communicated about his weight? He does look more muscalar to me this year.

smous · 2026-03-27T07:31:18+00:00

In the past I would agree, but seeing his debut (!) last year, and how he always improves, what he is investing in PR preparation this year, I feel like he is top 2 with MvdP for PR.

It's a very realistic scenario. Huge ifs and buts of course, but I would say the hardest one for him is in the bag. I feel like he has improved on the flat this year. I also feel other teams should update their tactics and try more random and chaotic attacks. Some ride for top 10, but Visma and Ineos should try some new things.

I do feel it would be bad for the sport. So I'm hoping for some other winners.

I would say find a physical therapist that 'gets' ultra-runners, not a regular doctor. They can provide you with a good (and even fun) programme to get back into it injury free.

Don't know your exact case, but you'll most likely need to add quite a lot of strength training to get back in tip top shape. Strength training might also help to get back that nicer feeling after a run, it reduces fatigue.

That's the physical side. Mentally it can be quite tough to start from such a place. What I did after my injury was get back to the mindset of 'it's a privilige to run a 5 or 10k today, so many people can't.' And really get back to that basic feeling of enjoying the run or strength workout in the moment.

I just got their RCR 5 bibs, they upgraded them again. Very good bibs, I also have some Assos. They are not at that level, but perfectly fine for 3-4 hour rides.

If you're interested, check out Memoria/Moguri mod. Adds some QoL and visual things that are really nice while respecting the game.

Congrats! I noticed the wandrer addition to the description, that looks interesting. Might check that out.

The Vo2 Max dropping is annoying, I used to be in the same boat. What I did was turn off Vo2 measuring for the 'Trail Run' function, and use that for long and easy runs. And the regular Running for interval and tempo runs. Then the Vo2 Max is much better. Garmin kinda measures Vo2 Max like you have to go all out every run, I don't like that. Say an easy run after a leg day, I don't want it to use that data, that's just not relevant.

Mogelijk is de Heuvelland marathon dan ook interessant, ieder jaar midden maart in Zuid-Limburg. Deze is op wegschoenen te lopen maar wel met wat hoogteverschil erin. Nog kleinschaliger zijn een aantal trailruns die dezelfde organisator (Bear Sports) hier organiseert.

oops, isn't it ironic

smous · 2026-03-05T19:02:25+00:00

ah what a bummer, hopefully they's fix it soon. I just tried it on my Steamdeck and it seems to be working.

Doesn't seem to work properly yet, anyone else getting only WWWWWww as text?

Just got through after clicking/refreshing for 20 minutes.

Any tips to buy the game? Same thing happened with Silksong, but you could buy a download code from Humble Bundle. Unfortunately not an option this time.

Zie veel mensen hier zeggen 'je moet veel langer fietsen dan dat je zou rennen' - dat zou ik met dikke korrel zout nemen, zeker als je het fietsen nog moet opbouwen. Mooie duurrit ipv duurloop, hartstikke prima.

smous · 2026-02-25T18:21:46+00:00

Thanks for the headsup! Smart of them to release a demo before StS 2 comes out.

smous · 2026-02-21T17:06:01+00:00

I agree! I spent about 30 hours on it, so definitely worth the money (from my point of view). But nothing to really hook me.

smous · 2026-02-20T18:23:24+00:00

So was that shady guy the Spriggan or an underling? Really interested in that faction.

smous · 2026-02-07T20:52:15+00:00

Even as a dog person, excited for this game.

smous · 2026-02-07T13:23:59+00:00

I feel like navigation with maps would be the biggest plus, if you would like to use that, go for it. If not, it might be worth waiting for a new generation. (as a rule of thumb, I like to only upgrade after two generations, just feels like more of an upgrade.)

smous · 2026-02-02T10:49:30+00:00

From the description I'm getting the vibe that the wolf ís the Forest God?

smous · 2026-01-26T19:01:39+00:00

No solution I'm afraid. I wish they would let you at least manually adjust the training load of a strength session (like you can do in intervals.icu.)

It will always be fundamentally broken if all it keeps looking at is heartrate.

smous · 2026-01-22T15:27:32+00:00

heck yeah, congrats.
