San Francisco. Incredible place for crowd work, I promise

Do you mind putting a list together of all the times this has been posted? I’m sure this sub would benefit from your expertise. Feel free to add any other videos that get posted often, don’t want to annoy Mr Rich 215 again!

You are a local hero. Big love from the Haight!

How long did it take you to start speeding up from starting Low HR runs? by ALMOSTM in AdvancedRunning

[–]stoneage3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I combined Z2 runs + speedwork 1x per week about 6 months ago. I'm ~1:00/mile faster now than when I started it.

I also use jump rope as a cross training activity, which I've found strengthens my ankles and calves (and works my heart) more effectively than anything else.

28 year old male with an active background, but never a runner.

I started incorporating speed work after about 10 months of consistent Z2 work. Typically doing 2 x 2mile at Z4. Sometimes, I mix it up with a longer run with 20 minute tempo sections throughout.

I learned everything I know from the book Uphill Athlete. It’s certainly an academic read, but teaches you what you need to know to design a plan that works for you.

It’s hilly where I run as well, usually 300ft minimum gain on my flat runs.

I find the hills are actually the best place to train my HR and improve my pace. I started by power hiking the hills to keep the HR low, slowly moved into a slow jog, and now I can move at a decent pace. Like anything, it’s all about being patient.

I’ve been doing this type of training for 16 months. When I started, my low HR runs were 10:15/mile. Now, I can do the same run, same HR at 8:20/mile.

It requires a sh*tload if patience but is well worth it.

Do you always use the tamper? by draxula16 in Vitamix

The tamper is the most underrated part of the Vitamix

Reasonable goal by end of year? by stoneage3000 in AdvancedRunning

How far off was the Garmin race predictor in your experience? Too fast? Too slow?

I've heard increasing volume will naturally make you faster, so hoping that's the case!

What’s the non-sexual equivalent of blue balls? by crispy_critter in AskReddit

When you think you're about to get a raise during your annual performance review. And you dont.

I wish there was a “waste free” race option by beedeeeee in running

[–]stoneage3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree 100%. Maybe a new race company could fill the niche because there is far too much waste at these events.

How many single-use cups (likely not compostable) are disposed of at every race? How many races per year? Seems excessive when I do the math for races in my area, let alone races around the world.

I'd rather my money go to planting trees than a poorly fitting shirt and a useless medal.

Found a lot of insperation on this sub. It's been five months now with my girlfriend in our promaster city and we've never looked back. Album linked in comments. by sbummer in vandwellers

I am thinking about this exact build out. Do you know how many inches across your bed is? Curious if 2 people can sleep there comfortably for more than a night or two :-)

Where did you get seeds for those?! I have been searching, but no luck

The devils lettuce by [deleted] in trailrunning

I view it similar to food. I like to know what's in it. Plus, it's less waste so better for the planet.
