What 2D printers do 3D printer people prefer?
  • I'm impressed. I've got a inkjet that Is about 18 years old. I have to occasionally wipe off the print head, but otherwise has never needed repairs. The ender 3 we have has needed replacement parts from heads to hot ends and feeders, and every print requires specific to it setting. I can print to my hp using generic drivers without a second thought. 3d printers are far from that level of ease of use/ reliability. I'm glad your stuff worked, but that's the minority.

    I’m not alone in wanting something more difficult than the pfitz 18/55 plan, but not 27% more mileage that the 18/55-70 plan is. So… I spent some time splitting the difference across the two plans, doing as little refactoring as … Continue reading →

    Details in the post. But I created the illusive, unofficial 18/63 full marathon training plan, which splits the difference between the 18/55 and the 18/55-70 plan. Feedback appreciated.

    Article: Data On Things Boston Qualifers Do Similarly
  • I've averaged just under 40 miles per week this year. I run typically 5/6x a week. I fit running in around life, so early before work, some times at night. If I'm dropping kids off to something I may park and run, instead of just going home. I have friend whom I regularly run with which helps with the winter dolldrums. Having races helps. I do take limited down weeks, only one single digit week all year. I manage to stay healthy by not over extending. I am leaving some gains out there, but I would rather be out there than on the sidelines.

    Specifically for the winter/summer timing is key. I go when it's warmest in winter (I work at home), and coolest in the summer (early), I have a dreadmill, and a good heat/cold tolerance. Oh, and good gear. Gloves and tights and hand warmers are your friend.

    I don't have real answers, this is my biggest milage running year ever by far, but also my best in terms of performance. Prs in 10k, and half by big margins.

    Good luck, and keep at it.

  • Not shocked at all. Running marathons fast, takes a fair amount of investment in running. While more miles is not the only answer to getting faster, one has to get a certain amount of miles in per week to be able to maintain fitness and be able to do workouts which will allow you to run the marathon fast.

    Once you get to a certain amount of miles per week, and fitness, it is then about making sure you are getting quality miles in, but that line is like 40-55 miles per week. Lower than that, and you have to have raw talent and other cardio fitness to maintain the effort.

    At least that's my experience, and I just barely bq'd at 55mpw the past two years, but I'm older with and 'easier' sub 3:20 bq time, sub 3:10 would be likely 63-70 mpw territory for me if I were under 45. (I'm aiming for 3:10 this spring)

  • How to Plan a Recovery Week?
  • When I'm training I do 3 up one down. Building three weeks, then the fourth week I drop back one week in duration. This is usually good for mid plan recovery, for just general recovery, I'd say do 75% of your normal work load. 2 shorter runs and a walk, 2 lighter lifts and a plyo session, in general recovery is doing less, not nothing at least for me.

    Good luck.

  • How often do you get new running shoes?
  • Depends on the shoe, but I rarely get more than 3-500 miles. Just tossed a pair with only 3:16 on them, but they were worn down on the heel, and had started to make me excessive fatigue after even short runs. I got 500 from a pair of Hoka bondi 7's. I'm pretty hard on shoes, I have an aggressive wear pattern due to a shorter leg. I try to compensate by buying shoes on sale and rotating them as much as possible. But your milage may totally vary. But replace em when you think you need to, many ultra runners get 1k +

  • why am I so bad at running?
  • Totally not judging. I was a new runner once too. Running is very specific activity, were the majority of improvements come simply from just running more. However, running more is a very slow process, you can't go from 0 miles, to 10 miles, and expect them to be fast. While you are fit, you aren't running fit, it's like being fit and not being lift heavy fit. Your plan is a get to the finish plan, which is good for ramping and getting to the finish line, but isn't really going to build speed, but that will come if you continue to work at it. Don't get discouraged, the improvement when you start are often the the biggest jumps you have. Good luck

  • Article: GPS Watch? No Thanks. Top Runners Are Ditching the Data.
  • Yes, people can work on it, if they want to put effort in on that. Some times all they have energy for is the interval they are in. Some people can resist temptation, some people are addicted. We aren't all given the same ability.

  • Article: GPS Watch? No Thanks. Top Runners Are Ditching the Data.
  • anyone got a archive copy, or gift pass to see it?

    Edit, thanks I came here from elsewhere, reading now. my bad

    -- its an interesting perspective. I don't have a coach who can check splits or plan my runs by time. I could plot and guess, and I'm sure I'd do well, might be interesting to see if I can produce results w/out a watch, but I do like it. Like earbuds / music u do you.

  • What earbuds do you run with?
  • I've managed to destroy every pair of earbuds I've owned in short time. Expensive shures, jaybirds, Amazon basics, Sony's, ankers, thauker, etc. You name it, give me 6 months, they will be dead. I also sleep with them, so that's I'm sure part of the problem, but they usually die on a long sweaty run. Currently trying shockz open run, light, good battery, not yet dead. We shall see.

  • Shokz Openrun Pro running issues
  • I don't have the pros but have not had the issue with regular run. Do you know if you might be a better fit for the small size? They suggest a measurement which can be taken. The design requires good contact with your bones I could see if they were slightly too large having issues.

  • What events have you got coming up?
  • Good luck on the 10k, the 24h sounds like fun. I need to get some of my buddies to do some more of these event things. 4 laps is 24m, 40k plenty of distance for a day's work.

    As for my races. I've got a 10k coming up, but not planning on putting in 100% into it, as I'm working on a 1/2 training plan this summer/fall, for BayState half marathon. I've run the full 3x, this is my first time doing the half. It's in mid October, and I've got a bail out half scheduled for Nov 12, which I may skip, if I run my target time for the 1/2 this fall. There is really nothing hanging on the race, other than trying to PR, and get sub 1:30. I ran a 1:31:xx this spring, and I've dropped some weight, and had a good training cycle, so I'm feeling positive about it.

  • What are things you wish you knew when you started running?
  • I wish I'd started running sooner in life for sure. I think it's important to understand that slow and steady progress is more productive that getting into an injury cycle. That balance, being core strong and doing things other than just running helps.

    Most of all, enjoy the spot in running that you are at. If you are just starting note how you are progressing, each milestone and pr is great. I've now been running for about 10 years, and have come a long way and only regret not starting sooner.

  • 2 questions alternate to pfitz 18 55, and Saturday tune up races

    I'm planning on a spring full. I've successfully done pfitz 18 55 for two pr's, and 12 55. I like the plan, have not had issues with it, but in the quest to keep my training novel, and. Not increase the volume too much (55/60) is really as much as I have time, commitment, and recovery for at 45 with a family, job, and home life. Are there 18 or so week plans I can look at that have similar distance / intensity as the 18/55?

    Also, if I do 18/55 again there are a number of tune up races which are always plotted for Saturdays.... Why? Almost no races are on Saturday. From a training plan perspective shouldn't they know this and design a plan with regular racing in mind? How do you all deal with these Saturday tune up races. In the past I've just done individual tt's with a target time on a known race course where it's more accurate that watch based 'gps' distance. This way I'm simulating the 6.3/13.3 that happens in real races and not the shortest distance that watch based tt's can do.
