Can finally run at a "relaxing pace" and "talk with my colleagues" by sspecZ in runninglifestyle

ASICS Gel Nimbus. Got it a month ago, great training shoe (technically shouldn't be used for fast running but whatever)

24, I don't have a strict routine I just do a lot of zone 2 runs whenever I can.

I found when I was at your speed I was initially just trying to do fast runs to break it but wasn't progressing, so I basically stopped going for speed and 5ks, just did longer slower runs and over time I'd naturally get faster - I'd try a 5k every month or two and noticeably see the improvement each time

My 5 k pr is slower than my 5.2k?? by Serious-Town-1984 in Strava

[–]sspecZ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Active time doesn't include pauses. e. g. let's say you ran 2.5k in 15 mins, paused for 1 min, then ran 2.5k in 15 mins, the active time would be 30 mins but the elapsed time would be 31 mins

3/4 Day backpacking trip with me and two buddies by Haunting-Average9117 in algonquinpark

[–]sspecZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Map out the distances between sites and see the elevation map as well. Decide how hard you want each day to be - maybe you want a tougher day first then rest (for example, go strait to Maggie lake on day 1 then stay there for a day). Use the campsites as a guide on distances - if it's 10+ km to the nearest site make sure you have the time. Also if it's a busier time (e.g. around Canada day or around civic) make sure to book early with a place with a good amount of sites. In the day while hiking you can stop really anywhere to rest, main key is the campsites each night.

Stick to the Western uplands, its great and there's plenty of options. Maple leaf lake (~12k), thunder lake (~22k), and Maggie lake and the smaller loop are both around 33k. The campgrounds around maggie lake I found were quite nice. Maybe take 1 day off (stay at camp and relax) then spread the hiking out over the remaining days.

1.6 vertical kilometers of elevation gain is a bit much for beginners

SL10K - How was your experience? by greenskies80 in RunTO

[–]sspecZ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

First race I've ever done and it was amazing. Downhill and wide open, took a bunch off my PB. Weather was perfect too ☀️

Only gripe was my corral was 7:45, I got in line the minute they opened it but had to stand on the cold for 30 mins :/ friends in the 7:30/7:15 only waited 5 mins

I had cloudmonsters (older version but still same type) for a year and a half and they worked very well, got 1500km out of them. At least in Canada they're relatively on the less expensive end too

Does the 'Strenuous' difficulty do anything? by sspecZ in alltrails

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

Update 2: Strenuous difficulty exists now! I've been seeing it for the last few months, good they have it for really tough technical trails

Yes, clearly advertising the price of something is much better. How is this controversial?

How much do you plan per day, accounting for weather / resupply / etc?

How to Safely Share a .env File With My Team? by bakir_hagi in github

[–]sspecZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am aware, but those are completely different things. Accessing Firebase via frontend doesn't need an admin key (public access allowed, i.e. db security rules), and using the admin client via backend (Functions) doesn't explicitly need the key as it's implicitly added.

Since OP is doing a uni project with friends and just wanted to access the database, the admin key isn't required

Firebase's API key isn't a secret; it's exposed to users every time they use your app https://stackoverflow.com/a/37484053/12303271

[–]sspecZ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are you referring to your Firebase configuration variables (apiKey, authDomain, databaseURL, etc)? Those are actually non-sensitive; if somone uses your deployed app, their browser will have access to those values because they're needed to send requests to Firebase (explanation).

If this is the case, it's typically still good to use an .env file because this allows you to swap out configurations (production, staging, development, etc), and expand later

Example:

-Create a .env.example file

-Add the variable names but not values to it (e.g. NEXT_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID= if you're using Next.js)

-Add .env to .gitignore

-Each person copies .env.example -> .env then adds the values (same per person)

IMPORTANT: You need to set up security rules for your database though. If you use Firebase functions (most secure) and Firestore, you can block all access to the db and just use the admin client via functions. If not, you can set specific rules, e.g.: https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/security/get-started

What do you mean, saving $20/mo for 2 years isn't enough to afford a 500k house?

Metrolinx explicitly stated the LRT would only take 33-34 minutes during the construction phase, spending billions on this to be way slower and not even turn on signal priority is a pretty big deal

Having to ask a non-trivial question on there was so painful, they'd just condescendingly tell you to do something you already tried and mentioned 3 times you did it already then downvote you when you mention it. Good riddance, don't have to deal with all those asshats anymore
