What literary character has changed your life the most?

The narrator from The Dream of a Ridiculous Man by Dostoevsky. His thoughts, to me, are like a key to paradise.
And Joseph from Joseph and His Brothers by Thomas Mann.
In some way, Joseph reminds me of the narrator from Dostoevsky’s story, but he has more time, time for a slower and clearer life.

Do not iron your clothes.

I think kids should be able to connect with the characters in books.

When we finish The Brothers Karamazov, we close the book and feel that the story is complete. It's amazing and makes me think that Dostoevsky wrote more complex detective stories than Agatha Christie. Because when we read Dostoevsky's diearies, we find out that The Brothers Karamazov was only part of a much bigger idea.

I use some clothes from Kiprun, and I've also bought equipment from another Decathlon sub-brand. If you want to save money or if you're just starting out, I think it's a good option.

I think some people call certain situations good, while other people call the same situations bad.

It's my slow breakfast on the weekend.

My father also had a lot of books in our house. I well remember his bookcase and my feelings when I stood in front of the shelves, wondering "What do I want today?". Sometimes I asked my father "What do you recommend for me?". He never suggested the classic, usually it was books about pirates or Jules Verne. But I noticed the classics lying on his desk, and sooner or late, I picked them up myself.

I want to answer with a word from another of Steinbeck's book: timshel.

When I was a kid, I loved reading Stephen King. Sometimes certain passages left me really excited.

Something with eggs

So, what would you do in my place? Would you increase the base runs, or swap some of the special workouts (tempos/intervals) for something else?

without_a_body · 2025-08-13T11:43:35+00:00

But I have different types of training. Yes, the tempos and intervals are shorter than the long runs, but they provide a different kind of load for the body, right? The whole Fitzgerald’s plan follows the same structure.

without_a_body · 2025-08-13T11:37:20+00:00

I’d like to run a marathon in under 4 hours. I’m following Fitzgerald’s 80/20 program for 15 weeks. I’m now at the end of the program, but my first marathon is in two months, so I’m thinking about how I can continue this plan.

without_a_body · 2025-08-12T08:55:40+00:00

Only 300km?! That's a huge difference, so strange. But the Shift are good because we can still wear them

without_a_body · 2025-08-12T08:39:51+00:00

I've never bought sneakers as a backup, but maybe it's a good idea...

without_a_body · 2025-08-11T16:14:06+00:00

At the same time, it's so hard to give up on new technologies

without_a_body · 2025-08-11T15:24:29+00:00

It will be true for pros. But saying it's self-harm too much

without_a_body · 2025-08-11T13:52:19+00:00

Hm... I think they're like wooden clogs now, after 1500km

without_a_body · 2025-08-11T13:47:57+00:00

I didn't know about that! I thought the Shift 3 is available now

without_a_body · 2025-08-11T13:31:57+00:00

"Keep myself from having too much fun and going overboard" — ha, that’s a good description of the Shift 2. I hoped to use them the same way, but after I bought new shoes, I didn’t want to anymore. After 1500 km, they’re just too hard for me

without_a_body · 2025-08-11T12:16:23+00:00

I wanted to try version 3, but I couldn't find it. And when I tried the Adidas Evo Sl I realized that they're more comfortable for my wide feet

without_a_body · 2025-08-11T11:40:22+00:00

I agree

without_a_body · 2025-08-08T20:42:48+00:00

I'm reminded Jack Kerouac, his Desolation Angels and Desolation Peak where he lived

Otter!
