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 guess people either hate affirm or newegg. But this whole Lemmy is otherwise dead just try to share a deal. Way to encourage engagement.

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)

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.

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 +

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

Some of this is intentional by design. Shedding head count through willing attrition.
