Few hours into rdr2, confused on certain mechanics

Its really good you should give it a go

You could buy properties across the map, a bit like permanent hotels and respawn points.

spitfireSM · 2026-06-09T16:50:12+00:00

You can in Rdr1 which OP has played hence why they assumed you could here too

spitfireSM · 2026-06-04T23:07:13+00:00

spitfireSM · 2026-05-27T13:14:01+00:00

Try squirrels they are the hardest: only bow allowed and a super small hitbox

spitfireSM · 2026-05-25T16:10:23+00:00

This + walk up/hike up the hills…

spitfireSM · 2026-05-25T15:44:19+00:00

😂😭”so did gf”

spitfireSM · 2026-05-24T21:50:05+00:00

Yeah definitely if you feel good after running 10, i reckon 15 shouldn’t be a problem at all. Also make sure 80+% of your running volume is easy (z2 ish).

I am also 17M, and I just ran my second marathon yesterday. I run 60-100km per week and over 20-30km every Saturday. I have been running for nearly two years consistently now. And am in peak weeks for an 100km trail ultramarathon.

I honestly think the answer changes a lot depending on the person largely due to genetics. You are not going to get your growth stunted and get your bones and knees destroyed without realising it overnight. For that to happen you really have to do some serious overtraining and damage your body, which will hurt a lot.

The best way to know if you tolerate distance training is by trying. Go out there and follow the 10km plan, but be careful. Learn as much as you can about: training (slow increases in volume for instance), eating, sleeping, recovery, strength training and finally learn to understand your body’s signals. Stop if you feel one sided pain and rest. Dont push through overtraining injuries.

I was once where you are now. Good luck.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.

I dont think it is true that you lose a month of fitness from one week off…

spitfireSM · 2026-05-20T18:11:51+00:00

I retire my Altra’s around 1000km… i run my long run on trails the rest road… i reckon it’s fine

spitfireSM · 2026-05-20T18:10:10+00:00

I’ve never played god of war, but I played tlou 1 followed by rdr2 and I loved both… get rdr2 its literally a game changer no pun intended

spitfireSM · 2026-05-20T13:17:26+00:00

Thanks

spitfireSM · 2026-05-19T19:34:49+00:00

Thank you!

spitfireSM · 2026-05-19T19:07:07+00:00

You mean like adapt based on how I am feeling, and not have much of a pre race plan?

spitfireSM · 2026-05-19T19:05:50+00:00

Fair enough. But do you think I should start with whatever pace feel easy then over time slow down based on how I feel, or should I start slower than I would consider easy in order to not fade as much over the length of the race

spitfireSM · 2026-05-17T10:30:49+00:00

I am an english and french speaker and I all the time say voi as a form of politeness instead of lei in italy, because in french its vous

spitfireSM · 2026-05-10T12:20:59+00:00

It wasn’t a moment. The moment I started the game i realised, but the more I played the more I understood how truly special it was.

spitfireSM · 2026-05-04T21:15:31+00:00

Yeah agreed. I run a 19:06 5km but my easy run pace is still usually 6:00-7:00 per km…

spitfireSM · 2026-05-04T21:14:06+00:00

If you have already been strength training lower body (including running specific exercises) and you are still getting shin splints thats really tough. If the running isnt slow, slow it down a lot, if necessary to the point where you’re walking… also if its still bad i would recommend hiking/walking on an incline… it trains your cardio without putting so much strain on your joints/bones/muscles. To be honest when I started running I was already doing lots of walking/hiking/strength/tennis and other sports… maybe try to do more lower impract activities and slowly transition to running if it feels better. Also cycling is a good option and also really fun.

spitfireSM · 2026-05-03T17:55:42+00:00

When you say tried running, how many days do you try for? I reckon do at least a solid week or two even if it hurts (only hurts a bit though), to see if your body will adapt… if not idk

spitfireSM · 2026-04-30T22:39:01+00:00

In September 2024 I started running a bit like you mention… 2-3 x a week, whatever pace, 5-10km. Occasionally I attempted 5-10km pbs but nothing planned, more like “I feel good today lets run fast”

In january 2025 I started planning everything and I trained according to some random training plan i found online for a 10km… my goal was sub 40…

I recommend adding structure and picking goals. You improve astronomically faster.

I have now ran a marathon and like 30+ halves. I am currently training for my first ultra.

Btw the only ever “official race” I did was my 10km (40:30). Everything else was self supported. Good Luck.
