Cool study and application for crow-treat exchanges. But the image is AI. That is some gibberish Swedish text.

Sorry I missed this earlier, I'm often browsing on other lemmy instances since I find world to be so slow. Thanks for sharing your experience though!

The training plan fell apart pretty hard for me not long after making this post. I'd been dealing with a bit of knee pain that just got worse and worse (and consequently I got slower and slower). Over the last three-ish weeks I reduced my mileage quite a bit, including one week of just 3 miles and lots of stretching. Thankfully my knee is better now and I don't have much pain anymore. But I'm a bit hesitant to dive back into the advanced plan, and in particular the speed sessions.

I'm slowly getting back into the beginner plan but I'll see how well I stick to it. I think at this point trying to keep up a relatively high but slow weekly mileage to maintain an aerobic base will be the way to go, but it will depend on pain. I might just have to suck up another mediocre marathon compared to my goal, and try again next time. I definitely won't be rushing into such an advanced plan again without gradually increasing my weekly mileage more carefully.

Yeah I'm a little bit hesitant to change the plan on my own whims, especially as it's my first time using a plan. Reading into it a bit more, compared to other plans it seems like Hansons really emphasizes the constant fatigue vs. hitting extremely high weekly mileage. So maybe I'll try and stick with the prescribed taper plan, although I may skip or slow down one of the speed workouts in the last week depending on how I feel. I don't want to mess it up and miss my "peak".

Ideally eating properly and slowing down my easy runs will do the trick before then anyway. I've been sleeping 7-8 hours pretty consistently.

 

Hey everyone,

I've been running somewhat seriously since about 2021, logging minimum 20 km/week year-round, and ramping up/down according to races. Last year I ran my first marathon and ended up bonking pretty hard at 30 km in. A tale as old as time itself. I wasn't following a training plan so I definitely didn't put in enough weekly kilometers to have a good aerobic base etc.

Anyway, this year I'm following the Hanson advanced marathon training plan. I'm 9 weeks in (out of 18) and I feel like the cumulative fatigue is already starting to slap pretty hard. I'm working on slowing down the easy runs which is helping, and the last few weeks have also been quite hot and humid which isn't helping. I am also trying to ramp up my carb intake which has probably been a bit low.

Anyway, my question - seeing as the advanced plan was probably a bit much to chew for my running level (going from 20-30km/week - 70-80 for the last 2 months), and I'm already feeling the fatigue, should I stick to the prescribed one week taper, or make it a two week taper? It seems like most plans generally have a two week taper.

I was thinking about maybe doing one tempo run about two weeks before the race, then hitting 40-50 km that week, and the suggested ~30 km on race week. According to the training plan, the week before race week should be 86 km.

I can't remember which episode it is, but there's an episode of one of Anthony Bourdain's shows where he visits a restaurant run by his friend.

This chef is serving a massive multi-course meal, something like 10+ courses, and knows that Bourdain is a heavy smoker. So at one point he brings out the next course and tells Bourdain something along the lines of "And this one is made with tobacco, so you won't try and get up in the middle of my dinner and go smoke".

I guess if the dose is low enough and the tobacco is mixed with the right foods, it could possibly make for an interesting flavour combination.

What kind of pills?

My thoughts too, I'm not seeing much of an Adam's apple. I doubt you look like that just from avoiding the sun.

It's British slang for a pedophile that stands for "Not on normal courtyard exercise". Meaning if they are in prison, they are not sent to exercise with the others as they are at high risk of being beat up.

And it's located at Bloor and Sherborne no less, lol. Great area.

MPs are guaranteed a pension after spending 6 years in service as an elected MP.

He entered the parliament at age 25, ensuring him a pension since the age of 31. Although he still has to be 55 to actually start collecting it. Considering how long he has been an MP, he's probably looking at pulling in at least 100K/yr from age 55 onward.

This is what baffles me about these papers. Assuming the authors are actually real people, these AI-generated mistakes in publications should be pretty easy to catch and edit.

It does make you wonder how many people are successfully putting AI-generated garbage out there if they're careful enough to remove obviously AI-generated sentences.

Pareidolia is the tendency to see faces in random patterns. Our brains are just kind of wired to recognize facial patterns. It doesn't mean you have schizophrenia, necessarily.

 

Since I can't seem to post on the drug gardening community I'll drop this here. Really digging the petal shapes on this one.

Hey,

So I've been working on recording a song and I am trying to get a solo tone similar to the kind of long, sustained, gain-y yet clean sound that The War on Drugs tends to use.

Any suggestions? I'm mostly recording direct input through my pedal board into a tascam sound card. I've fiddled around with my overdrive pedal (Soul Food) but the tone gets too distorted and muddy to give that clean sustain.

Is it time to get a sustain pedal? Apologies in advance if what I'm asking about gear doesn't make much sense..

 

Currently just some cannabis and nicotine for me, nothing wild.
