Discussion Comfy Café #14

LMAOOO

 

Are you watching the WC

 

Been into running for a while now, I hit 5km runs nearly everyday and 10km on the weekends. Learning about breathing and stuff made me realize how insane this sport is.

42km marathons being run in 2 hours while I do 10k in 1 hour is absolute insanity. my tempo is twice as bad. I run comportably 5'12 on 5km. 5'12 is also not measured on a running track, which means I have some ups and downs so, I should get better results on a running track.

******* pro runners run 2'51 on marathons. It's absolute insanity what a human body can do. I hope I'll sometimes be in that reach. Also it's also interesting how different shoe gives you different results which means shoes also play a big part in the running sport.

 

Lmao I clock 40+ km a week without even trying

 

You'll reach your goal one day, bro. Keep at it.

PS:
Not a runner myself, because of a knee injury wrecking my right knee's patellar tendon.
I am a fast walker though. I can walk 7 to 8 km in one hour.

I also clock that much per week. But that's just fast walking, not running. I've been advised not to run until my knee fully recovers.

 

walk? sure gj kek

 

It's so funny how German songs are so stupid but people here listen to it unironically everyday and sing to it

My favorite lyrcs from the song are, "Go and bring some beer because you are becoming ugly again, 1, 2 beers and you are beautiful again" is as whole genre made just for one island in Spain because they go on holiday there

Songs are bangers but the lyrics are so bloody stupid and funny LMAO



makes me LOL so much LMAO

 

Both actually, I have a friend which runs often in marathons and stuff but I never manage to be home when the marathon's taking place. Though for the past few months I've been running more and more.

I need to invest now in shoes because my old ones are worn out.

I am obsessed with beating my records, though I don't really have a good place to run here in Germany, too many hills so the 19 minute 5k runs are so out of my reach atm because I get so tired going up...I do it in 26 minutes instead, which is not bad for the start but it irks me because I feel like I could do much better.

I blame it on the shoes atm, my heel hurts af after like 2k so I struggle for the rest of 3k. I'd like to take a place in a real marathon in their conditions to see my real pace. But maaan...just can't find one which suits me time wise

 

@Gobb

I might have found the culprit to my shit laptop.

I've put it on manual and racked up the fans to 80% as soon as it hits 70 degrees.

All fine untill I realized I forgot to turn on discord and I wanted to listen to spotify.

>turns it on
>game lags

??????????????? so it's either Discord overlay or spotify kek

Which is beyond me how.

EDIT: I've turned off agressive boost on the CPU so I'll try and see if that helps as well tomorrow.

I have PTSD of CPU running on 4000+ mhz, I like it in 3200's to not have thermal throttling.

 

Goodnight, pussy vector.

You do You, mate. Keep yourself fit.

Okay
But don't go for the normal running shoes that companies have been trying to shove down our throats for the past half century. Try flat ones with decent grip. I myself have found canvas shoes to be great for my forefoot strike style of fast walking. Similar shoes should be good for running as well.

Hilly region where you be currently, eh? Then forget about my shoe advice. You find a pair that suits you all on your own.

I, on the other hand, would love to live in a hilly region. They are excellent for walkers.

Meanwhile, my sister and bro-in-law live in Frankfurt, which is great for cyclers and runners.

Oof
Good luck on the shoe search, mate.

I had similar issues in my laptop. I had frame rates drops to sub 30 in one game when my laptop should manage 100-120 in that particular title. Turns out it was some overlay bullshit.

I have had no issues with Firefox running in the background and playing music though. Are you using the Spotify app? It's a fukking cancer. Try running it in browser and see what difference it makes. Can't comment on Discord though.

 

Flat shoes are a no-no for me, I am a heel striker and my current Adidas Ultraboost give me so much pain in my soleus(is that the name in english?) due to worn out cussion on the heel.

I've been googling and every single review and article praises the brand new Nike Pegasus 41's. I'll get those.

I mean it's up and down region or place at least. Tires me to no end. Can't improve my pace here >_>

Mate my laptop is DOGSHIT. I think it's the discord. I'll check tomorrow. I also use the spotify app yeah.
