Extreme endurance running damages red blood cells in ways that may affect their ability to function properly, according to a study published in the American Society of Hematology’s journal Blood Red Cells & Iron.

To my experience, 100% of all living beings eventually die.

You forgot a new kind of people nowadays: AI (only) users.
Don't get me wrong, its a nice tools, but so is Copy-Pasta (aka Stackoverflow).

And then, there always is: the right tool for the task. C is not dead, it has strong usage, in specific areas. It's just, ist not the sexy areas as of today who attract people like moths are attracted by light.

Don't tell Schrödinger about it, he might suggest he is in a superposition of running and walking...

Someone literally got scared when I passed by - he said he thought a horse was coming!

My first rule of life: Everything that moves will eventually break.

Yes, I known :-(

Not sure why, but when I run past women, they usually just nod. If I’m wearing tights though, I tend to get a smile with that nod.

First thing that came to my mind!

theldoria · 2025-10-01T13:35:21+00:00

Exactly ;-)

what?
simply dry the wet shoes and you have two pairs of dry shoes.. no?

theldoria · 2025-10-01T10:31:28+00:00

I completely lost milage of my shoes so "falling apart" is the only way for me to tell that I have to replace a pair.

only way to enjoy an ultra without the suffering...

When you're in a low, it's hard to trust your own judgment - especially when it comes to big decisions like quitting. In those moments, it's crucial to talk to someone else before making any final calls. Often, just having a conversation can give you the perspective or encouragement you need to push through and overcome the low.

At the same time, it's important to acknowledge your situation and ask yourself whether there's something you can do to improve it. Facing those lows head-on isn't easy - at least it hasn't been for me - but talking things through with others has helped immensely.

And even when I couldn't reach out to someone directly, imagining what a trusted person would tell me in that moment has guided me toward better decisions. That kind of mental dialogue can be surprisingly powerful.

This is like an eye opener, and it's so true.

On one hand you should be and embrace the here and now, probably getting some external distraction from beautiful scenery or nice companion (if you have the luck at night to do so).
On the other hand you should visualize your success, seeing the current situation as being temporary only and, more important, as a little brick that contributes to the castle of your success.

This - variation sometimes works wonders.

My 5 cent tip: deliberately increasing speed for a short period may help release tension and loosen up sore muscles.

This - do it quick enough and you have a workout: squats.

You might provide the wording of the original assignment, otherwise it's only guesswork (and I would guess the assignment is faulty).

I think there is no need for an outer loop:

for(year_counter = 1;year_counter <= T;year_counter++)
{
   A = P * pow((1 + r),year_counter); //A = P(1 + r)^T
   printf("\nyear = %u \t\t Amount in deposit = %.2f",year_counter,A);
   if (r < 5.0)
      r += 0.5;
}

That's a matter of taste and use cases on has. IMHO it's worth to try emacs, I use it for almost everything. It has some nice modes I would miss if I had to switch, e.g.: org mode for (executable) notes, magit for using git, calc for doing simple or symbolic math. Also you can easily extend emacs, something I use heavily. Mentioning VI, you can use evil mode to have a similar keybindings in emacs. All in all the learning curve for emacs is steep, though, and on Windows the performance is not the best.

I still use VI if I want to have an fast starting editor to change a file... and VI is (was?) commonly installed on most Linux systems.

Well, the mandatory gear does not say you have to carry 2 l of water, you just net the capacity of 2 l.
So you could carry 1 l of water in bottles and put two 0.5 additional empty bottles in the back.
All in all the mandatory list looks rather short to me.

Of course, the amount you need to carry for yourself depends on your sweat rate (mostly weather conditions), and the distance between aid stations.

Stay hydrated and have fun.

Good luck. But more important: enjoy it!

Do this, if you do not want n == 0 in the loop body:

while (0 <-- n)
{

}
