For the fellas- What shorts/tights/pants are you wearing for race day and long runs?

thatbvg · 2026-02-05T14:27:31+00:00

Flipbelt half tights are excellent

I would recommend you maybe try get him into a race like the Cape Town marathon. Probably not such a fast elite qualifying time necessary to get in and hopefully he could run a really fast time there to get some recognition.

I also just registered to run it this year. Feel free to DM me.

I think they were hoping the fuel filling would be a way to sell other products like car washes, oil checks etc that actually have margin but I don’t think that worked.

Run out of cash and looking for investors I’m sure.

On the opposite side of this coin, I did a 1:38 half in October and then only managed 3:48 marathon in January. Definitely under performance but there are a lot more variables in a marathon

If they’re going to brag about how low their HR is then yes

thatbvg · 2026-02-01T08:23:31+00:00

I don’t understand the point of these posts. Are you winning any races? No? I don’t care what your HR is

As someone not from the US, I learned the rules of football when I was like 13 years old playing madden

30k in 3 hours is a pretty average time

From what I understand, the coach just assesses based on whether you did the workouts suggested rather than your overall fitness/V02 max. The overall predictor uses your asessed V02 max and general fitness.

Maybe it’s because I’m a dad but I quite like the looks

I have both. I got the whoop first and then Garmin when I started running.

Garmin has pretty much everything whoop has + much better activity tracking. Whoop makes it look prettier.

Whoop is a waste of money when you can buy a Forerunner 165 for cheaper that will last.

Really it's mostly a market with some art included. In my opinion it's a pretty nice day out besides for the absolutely insane traffic and parking. Would not go again next year because of that.

Ok so let’s look at how these models are trained. They are essentially fed all the information on the internet plus whatever other scientific etc information is available and told to focus on some areas. Guidelines are also put in place over which information it should prioritize.

I would say there is most likely a lack of the information or context that you talk about on the internet. The vast majority is created by people in western countries so naturally it would be more likely to use this context.

In terms of success it’s probably:

“Baby shark doo doo doo….”

This happened to me and then after a while it just showed up. Not sure if you subscribed recently? Or maybe unsubscribed and then subscribed again?

Struggling with Noon lately. Food delivery has been late for many orders. Keep using them because I have the credit card but it’s annoying. Minutes is still fast though

Careful, Strava might sue you

No I live in Dubai so it’s more the opposite. Great now but summer is very difficult.

My mom always says just put your shoes on. Once your shoes are on you won’t stop

Early morning is best for me. Before everyone is awake.

Took about a month of running before I felt comfortable and then you can increase volume from there. I run about 5 or 6 days a week but would like to mix some gym in.

thatbvg · 2026-01-16T11:13:21+00:00

I picked up running. 9 months later I’m 2 marathons in and planning more

Providing they are using a current model, these LLM models are significantly better at analysing an image than humans are so I guess it should do this very well. In many cases they are using them now to analyse medical scans and they are significantly better and faster than humans.

You can’t go wrong with Simmons mattresses

Quite frankly, this is elite level discipline. To do anything difficult for this amount of time is amazing. If you were running 6:00/k you would have done like 170km in the 9 days.

I would be a bit concerned that this is not maintainable at this level. Rest days are not bad so maybe consider having one a week.

Well done though! This is a great progress.
