It's kind of hilarious to watch running influencers try to talk their way out of the "Norwegian Singles Method".

It turns out, a simple, sustainable, low-risk, low-fatigue, highly effective 5K to half marathon training framework doesn't need influencers or coaches trying to sell you their latest training plan or book.

And that's a problem.

@boynux I didn't just hide my pace on Strava, I deleted my account there. ๐Ÿคฃ

At some point in my #running ๐Ÿƒ journey I realized there is something off with my 80/20 plan. I was 100% compliant ๐Ÿ’ฏ with Garmin's (and other most popular) HR zone calculations. But I was not progressing towards my goals and experiencing knee and shin injuries โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน which I could not explain ๐Ÿค”

Then I switched to RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) for my easy runs and then BOOM! ๐Ÿ’ฅ Everything changed. No more injuries, and VO2Max started to increase!

Any similar experiences? How's your easy runs?

in reply to Moha

Congratulations! Being injured is bad and so is being worried about getting injured. Glad you found something, RPE, that works for you.

I have the same trouble with RPE that I have when a medical person asks me to put my pain on a ten-point scale. I really have no idea, no firm reference points.

I'd like to know whether you are using empirical things, e.g. can I talk, or going solely on feeling.

I do know that nearly whatever measure I use, my easy/recovery runs require walking!

in reply to MarvinFreeman

@MarvinFreeman
Thanks mate!

Yes, it took me 2-3 months to figure out how exactly the 2-3 RPE feels. It's also indeed very personal. I don't use RPE for quality runs because as you go higher the scale it's harder to assess.

in reply to Moha

@MarvinFreeman

For me 2-3 RPE for easy runs means I genuinely feel relaxed, not breathing heavily at all and I can sing along to a song for example without too much effort. Interestingly that puts me on avg at 6:10 /km pace and avg 130-135 BPM HR. That means there are days that 6:45-7:00 /km feels easy and some days this might be 5:45 /km I really don't care.

I also changed my easy runs watch screen to show only distance or time (depending on the training) and I don't look at pace or HR until I finish the run.

#running

in reply to Moha

This makes a great deal of sense. It really is the harder runs where RPE is just impossible for me.

Looking forward to your successes!

@MarvinFreeman
Thank you so much! Same to you, whatever goals you may be chasing in 2026

Found a nest of one of my favorites! A true oddball. Leptomyrmex erythrocephalus, the red-headed spider ant.

New house came with a SolarEdge inverter already installed. โ˜€๏ธ

Plot twist: I can't actually access the thing. SetApp login fails, and the WiFi credentials printed on the side? Totally useless.

Anyone dealt with taking over one of these as a new homeowner? Is there a reset procedure I'm missing, or am I just stuck pointing at it hoping it magically works?

LOOK AT THIS AND DON'T LOOK AWAY! This is what #palmoil and #gold #mining #greed looks like in #Indonesia right now. All three species of #Orangutan are critically endangered due to palm oil and it is the main reason for the #floods. The #greenwashing continues, use your wallet as a weapon #BoycottPalmOil #Boycott4Wildlife


#Researchers have identified a species of #frog Limnonectes phyllofolia completely new to #science. The tiny #Indonesian #amphibians have unusual fangs in their jaws thought to be used to defend territory #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetect palmoildetectives.com/2024/07/โ€ฆ

why does googling "gtk whatever" bring up the GTK3 docs for GtkWhatever half the time! GTK4 released five years ago!!!

and the only way to tell which one it is before clicking is that one little grey digit ๐Ÿ™



Somehow #Tidal has failed to inform me that the new #Avkrvst album came out June this year. Catching up now.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

Happens a lot, release notifications still miss niche or algorithm-edge artists. At least AVKRVST rewards late discovery. How many releases slip by because Tidal optimizes alerts for engagement, not completeness?




linuxrocks.online/@Linux/11573โ€ฆ Linux@linuxrocks.online - a statement from Waterfox team:

"... browsers are operating systems of their own, and a browserโ€™s job is to be a good steward of that environment. AI, in its current form and in my opinion does not match that responsibility.

... The core browsing experience should be one that fully puts the user in control, not one where youโ€™re constantly monitoring an inscrutable system that claims to be helping you.

Waterfox will not include LLMs. Full stop."

Muse reshared this.

in reply to Susan โœถโœถโœถโœถ

It seems to only be available as source code, a tarball or on Flathub. That means I'll either manually need to keep it up to date or set up Flatpak for you, which I can do if you want.


My cats bring me these sorts of gifts, only they are ALIVE. Fortunately, they are also unharmed except lingering problems with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I'm the one who has to re-catch these gifts and put them back outside!
in reply to Muse

When I graduated high school, my mom threw a party. We had around 100 people in the house and on the deck. Our cat, Tami, figured out that there were a lot of mouths to feed and started bringing (dead) meadow voles from the empty field across the street. Guess who got to remove them. Tami brought 47 voles that day. I seriously wondered if she didn't empty that field of voles.





I wonder how many local news publishers have no idea that their websites have an RSS feed.
in reply to Nathan Schneider

Recently set a relative up with an RSS newsreader that includes a feed from (what's left of) their local newspaper, which is very clearly accidental - the website is based on Wordpress. It's good to be sneaky


This lil' one watched us eat lunch for a while. Definitely no ulterior motives! #california #urbannature


It's weird how much my writing practice has started to be what happens while waiting for AI to write code. It is a new species of multitasking. And no multitasking is good, to be clear.

Day 21: Today marks the third week into Decadv, and the shortest day of the year, it has been fantastic to follow everyone's daily devlogs. It provided me the extra push I sometimes need to allow myself to just play, and I feel like this month has been nothing but marvelous pursuits.

As for today, I've kept on researching logic gates emulation in #Orca and figured I probably had all the pieces to implement Rule 90 at this point. Behold Sierpiล„ski's triangle in Orca!

I had a dream that I bought the new Commodore 64 Ultimate, and was severely disappointed when I woke up and it wasn't here.
