Agreed. Knowing for sure that they carried out the physical act should be the bare minimum to even consider the death penalty (assuming we can’t just get rid of it).

The nice thing about being a beginner at lifting is you’ll see pretty good progress for at least the first 3 or 4 months even with the worst programming. I’d say this is a good way to start, but I would add pull ups and core work (leg lifts, planks, etc). If you’re a runner, you’ll probably also want more lower body (calf raises, squats). Adding a yoga day and cardio would also be beneficial as you get older. In 3 or 4 months, I’d re-assess and look at getting on a more efficient program (something like push/pull/legs on successive days).

Wow, that’s a lot of mileage for a marathon to me. Maybe not enough recovery? I’m used to a max of 80k a week for a 50k race

I’ve fallen into that trap. Maybe I’ll look into the time based approach

Sounds like a good place to be with a race in the distance before you hit a training block

The burnout at the end of a long training block is real. How are you feeling about 100 on that mileage? My longest has been 50 miles and did that on about 50 a week.

Recovery mode! You doing any strength training?

Sounds like the perfect setup. Kid drop-offs and pickups are what really make the logistics challenging for me. I’m glad you’re making it work!

Run commuting sounds like the dream. Do you have a shower at work or just stay as-is?

Today I learned, thanks! I guess if you’re the guy who leads American forces to victory over a white supremacist insurgency, I can forgive you for riding your horse too fast.

The study this comes from calls out body fat and skin tone as factors they controlled for, but I’m not seeing gender mentioned

This is why I don’t bother counting any exercise in my daily calorie input/output. Interesting that the estimates get less accurate for higher body fat, wonder why.

That’s interesting. I don’t have any kind of engineering background and not sure what to Google. Are there examples of this?

That has nothing to do with the shape of the casing, which never travels through the barrel. The bullet itself is still round in this picture.

But better or worse than with the algae?

Highly dependent on the people involved. My oldest friend I’ve known since high school. We’ll occasionally send a meme back and forth but he’d never even met my kids until they were in their teens. We live far apart. But when my dad passed and I needed his help with something, he dropped everything and drove 6 hours round trip to be there. I probably see him or have a substantive conversation with him once or twice a year.

Very interested in your thoughts

Love to see that positivity and not the patronizing attitude I’ve seen from some people about women starting out who can only lift “light” weights. Let’s encourage progress instead of perfection.

I was a runner, got injured, gained about 30lbs, and started running again. A couple of thoughts:

• you’ll be slower, and that’s OK. My pace dropped by about 30 to 45 seconds per mile, but I realized I’d rather be running slowly than trying to push harder and re-injure myself
• injury is a real possibility. Carrying the extra weight was definitely noticeable in my joints and muscles, so I had to be mindful of increasing mileage slowly and being better about stretching post-run, taking rest days and doing strength training
• if you’re hoping to lose weight by running, be careful. I don’t know what your running goals are, but ramping up mileage and staying in a caloric deficit for extended periods aren’t compatible. Your muscles, tendons, everything, need nutrients to recover and get stronger. Watch your macros carefully and don’t starve yourself

Ultimately, I went on a GLP-1 for about 5 months while maintaining a pretty conservative (for me) weekly mileage and doing more weight training instead, watched my protein intake like a hawk, and that helped me drop the weight and begin increasing mileage. It was amazing how much my speed correlated to my weight and how much easier it is to run and be injury free now that I’ve dropped the pounds.

Did you read the article? It specifically says they will be ending that practice.
