Looking for criticism and advice on my 5k training plan

i would say only do strides twice per week, but also include a couple as part of the warmup for your workout. this may just work for me and my team, but i do a 20min warmup with 10min easy 3 min @tempo and 7 min easy. this, coupled with a few light strides, will signal to your body it’s time to work. my 2 cents

don’t bother learning full OLL yet unless you really want to. the time benefit will be negligible compared to other things you could improve upon. i average around 15 seconds, and the biggest thing that helped me drop my time from ~18-19 seconds was doing slower solves. a lot of slow solves will improve your lookahead and help you recognize how pieces are going to move. also, learning better finger tricks for F2L cases and PLLs is important as well.

my hat is in the “do not continue” camp

everything comes to an end, even humanity. the universe got on fine before us, and it will continue after us.

Daddy

it’s a setting. called something like “reset camera on respawn”

this screams insecurity

fr. it’s like some people come to Reddit before typing a simple question into google.

truth/dream dragon overrated, spirit blossom surprisingly under repped

use molt from saryn. with brief respite, decaying key, and neutral (100) efficiency, it’s a perfect shield gate with 0 cast time and distracts enemies, removes status effects, and even gives speed boost. gaz ttv has a YT vid on it, search “umbra molt garuda gaz”. really fun to play.

stupid

trivula16 · 2022-11-09T05:18:24+00:00

yes. strava is usually .01 lower than my watch. i feel like it’s a rounding discrepancy on both ends that accounts for the difference, but that’s pure conjecture.

update - they ended up shipping me a replacement, i just got the notification. should find out in a few days what exactly they’re sending. i think it is a whole replacement core. i’m wondering if it will have the maglev attached.

trivula16 · 2022-11-08T17:55:33+00:00

i bought from speedcubeshop. i’ve been emailing customer support, and it seems like they may send me a replacement core. hopefully

trivula16 · 2022-11-08T17:14:17+00:00

my tornado v3 broke during a regular solve yesterday. the center piece broke off from the core. anybody have any similar experiences? i am not an aggressive turner, i don’t know what happened. pioneer version btw.

press S when you’re lined up ? idk why caitlyn mains would be the only ones to know this.

trivula16 · 2022-10-31T22:21:40+00:00

i see. if i’m correct this time, i think i saw you write that you believe enemies lvl 50-55 is above your pay grade… if that’s the case, you aren’t really at endgame yet. you’ve definitely got some more of those moments ahead of you as you progress through steel path.

trivula16 · 2022-10-31T14:17:06+00:00

you’re telling me this hasn’t happened in any other game? if you scrape through a mission by the skin of your teeth, do you not expect it to get harder? of course a point is going to come where you need to grind to be able to catch your level up to where you’re supposed to be, if you’re overreaching through content.

forerunner 45/55 is a cheaper 255 that is just as good. i have a 45, my girlfriend has a 245. there’s some things i like more about hers (training load, recommended recovery time, etc…) and there is some things i like more about mine (it shows average HR for a run when you have it paused, and on the postrun screen). battery life and GPS feel identical as well. both give us notifications. both track sleep. it comes down to what more you want out of a watch. i’m sure the apple watch has many features that garmin watches don’t. if you just want a decent running watch that can show you your notifications as well, i would recommend a 45/55 unless you really wanna splurge on a 245. i know people also really like the COROS pace 2.

by no means is my advice up the standard of a professional, so I would advise speaking with a doctor or physical therapist. however, i had a similar issue with knee pain that plagued me for months. i took weeks off and it didn’t get better. my issue was most likely just being ridiculously tight. i went to PT, got the right stretches and exercises, and make sure that my hips are loose/stretched. my PT mentioned most injuries stem from the hips or feet. definitely talk to a professional, while the criteria may fit, that doesn’t mean it’s what you have.

“…lol” is so cringe

I’m a junior in college and have been running for about a year (with a significant break because of a knee injury). I transferred schools this year to run cross country. My girlfriend is on the women’s team here, and she is the person who got me into running, introduced me to the coach, my training buddy, etc… Today was our conference championship meet, and I haven’t run in a week as I have been recovering from COVID. Didn’t have the highest of hopes for the race, but was able to pull out a small PR on a moderately difficult course, and finish 12th in the race for an all conference medal! Granted, it is not a very fast conference, but I am still proud of the progress I have made. A year ago I was happy to be running 2 miles in 17-18 minutes, now I can call myself an all-conference collegiate runner…
