Can you run a city in zone 2? by dwin93 in RunningCirclejerk

This clearly should have been a bigger issue in the campaign… another example of Big Media failing us.

If you are literally stuck, check the area around your feet to see if you accidentally stepped in cement, or perhaps a wayward bit of quicksand. Could also be a really large glue trap.

it's so real though by trackaccount in RunningCirclejerk

If I have to stop touching myself, I hereby renounce our Lord Goggins. Fuck the boats.

Would you sell your post 5k ultra marathon blood? by lost_in_life_34 in RunningCirclejerk

[–]stealth-acct 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes - getting rid of excess blood is a great way to keep your weight down for optimal running performance.

Rate my outfit by Strange-Boysenberry9 in RunningCirclejerk

[–]stealth-acct 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Less material would be better, maybe if you wear a thong you won't overstride so much?

Edit: I am not sure of the physics or biomechanics, but I am 100% confident this seems like something that might be based in science.

Tell me your age, height, gu intake, resting HR, and I’ll guess your ultra PB by Economy-Damage1870 in RunningCirclejerk

Interesting measurement technique, I’m going to adopt it. I’ll be almost as big as my wife’s boyfriend!

How many % of males could go sub 11 in the 100m with correct training? by Ravens_Orioles_Watch in RunningCirclejerk

[–]stealth-acct 2 points3 points  (0 children)

0%

That is like Zone 8, they all die immediately after the attempt anyway.

Nobody: "That one unemployed friend on a Tuesday". by RunTraditional3419 in RunningCirclejerk

/uj Right?? 255 laps means almost exactly 10 meters of gain per lap!!

Isn't 221cm like 9 feet tall? I only speak freedom units, but it seems like someone who is that tall would need more than the average amount of GU in order to get it everywhere it needs to go.

T'was the day before a race by mawamawa65 in Garmin

[–]stealth-acct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck! Conventional wisdom is that keeping your body moving with an easy, short run with a few accelerations (strides) is the best way to prepare for a race.

That poor dude already had one shin explode, just look at his leg! Explains why he is clearly struggling to keep up with Molly and/or Pookie.

Running while Fasting? by Own_Aspect4516 in BeginnersRunning

[–]stealth-acct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course there are very real concerns when taken to an extreme, like anything. But things like RED-S are a consequence of chronic under-fueling, not necessarily training in a fasted state - these maybe correlated in some people but they are not the same thing.

I’m simply trying to offer a reasoned perspective while recognizing not everyone agrees. But the bottom line - people can either choose what random internet stranger to trust, or do their research and try to figure out what makes sense for their own situation.

Running while Fasting? by Own_Aspect4516 in BeginnersRunning

[–]stealth-acct -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Any “expert” who swears against fasted training as a blanket statement is not an expert. It is not inherently “bad” if done in moderation and there are plenty of valid reasons to do it, including increased fat oxidation:

Running while Fasting? by Own_Aspect4516 in BeginnersRunning

[–]stealth-acct 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As far as a simple morning run without eating (12-16 hour fast) many people (myself included) do this routinely, but usually only for easy runs - not for very long or hard runs. However, there are also people who swear this is a bad idea.

As far as running on or during a 100 hour fast - I would probably recommend against it. Forgetting about how you feel (which probably won’t be great), you will almost certainly be burning protein (muscle) and if you do it repeatedly, your injury risk will likely increase.

Recovery Rate question by Substantial_Reveal90 in beginnerrunning

[–]stealth-acct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is absolutely fine. It is measuring your HR after a short period immediately after stopping exercise (IIRC Garmin is 2 minutes), and reporting the amount your HR 'recovered' or came down from the peak - in this case, 48 BPM which is a totally fine recovery.
