Hello, I recently got into running and I am hooked. I only run 5k's and 10k's, but I am out 6 days a week and enjoying it.

We are moving towards autumn/winter, I live in a big city in Scandinavia where it's mostly rainy and somewhat muddy on my routes (wet gravel, mostly) and I would like to maintain my momentum.

I've got a pair of Adizero Evo SL's and On Cloudmonster 3 Hyper, and I don't feel like these shoes would be good in those conditions.

I am looking for a new pair of (budget friendly) shoes for these conditions. Don't have to be super fast or super advanced (but I would like "fun" shoes like the ones I've got) but more durable than the Adizeros and suitable for wet conditions. Not trail shoes either.

Does anybody have good advice? I've found some Saucony Peregrine 16's heavily discounted and I am considering getting them, even though they are trail shoes and maybe overkill?

Thanks.

Hello, I am looking for a fall/early winter running jacket that will keep me a little bit warmer, shield me from the wind, but also allowing me to sweat like a pig.

I've had good experience with North Face hiking gear before, and I found this jacket on a good sale in the running section of a sports goods shop.

Is it any good for flat-out running at a high pace, or is it more of a hiking or trailrunning type jacket? Can it be rinsed / washed very often without degrading it significantly?

Hej, ved ik' lige, om det her er rette sted, men jeg kan se, at der også har været nogle spørgsmål om DHL Stafetten i denne sub sidste år.

Jeg har aldrig deltaget før, men jeg er blevet gruppepresset af kollegaer på ny arbejdsplads, så jeg vil gerne gøre en god figur, selvom det er et hyggeløb. Jeg har løbet en del det sidste års tid, men aldrig et organiseret løb.

Jeg har ladet mig fortælle, at underlaget er et eller andet mærkeligt kunsttæppe, og jeg vil gerne høre hvilke sko, jeg bør bruge?

Jeg havde tænkt mig at bruge mine Adizero Evo SL, da jeg er vild med skoene på korte distancer, hvor jeg ikke får ondt i ankler og skinneben af den ringe støtte, men skoene har jo nærmest intet mønster under dem. Kommer man til at skøjte rundt på kunstunderlaget? De har været fine for mig på asfalt og grus.

Hello, I got a Lexar NM790 2tb M.2 SSD in a laptop. 70 degrees Celsius is it's listed maximum temperature, and these are the readings I am getting in HWINFO when downloading a bunch of games on Steam:

When I mouse-over, it says the 70 degree reading is the ASIC controller. I don't know what that means, nor if it is fine?

I am considering buying a copper plate heatsink that fits in a laptop (basically just a strip of metal 0,5mm thick), but since there's no air movement in that area of the laptop, I am unsure if it will just encapsulate the heat and make the problem worse.

Any advice is appreciated.

44M, 176 cm. I did my first ever 5K back in March and I have since gotten really hooked on running. I go out 3-4 times a week, just doing 5K's and the occasional 10K's.

I can feel I am improving a lot, got new shoes and my times are getting better, but I would like to improve my technique.

I did a tempo run yesterday, and if I understand these stats correctly, I should take more/smaller steps and move my upper body a lot less when running?

Hello, I just got myself a Logitech keyboard, and would like to be able to change power modes. FN+Q on my new keyboard doesn't work though - is there a way to remap FN+Q to another combo I can replicate on the Logitech keyboard?

Thanks.

Hello, I've got this laptop and it is running super hot. When on battery power it drains super fast even just doing light tasks on the on-board Intel UHD Graphics.

I've read that undervolting will help with heat / power consumption. I don't mind losing a few frames, I tend to lock everything to 60 fps anyway in an attempt to keep temps down.

I've watched some videos, but they tend to just be people waffling on for 20+ minutes - are there any clear and concise guides out there, preferably in writing?

What are the risks of undervolting, other than instability and crashes?

Thanks.

Hej, dumt spørgsmål her fra en livslang lejer:

Hvad består "huslejen" i en ejerlejlighed af?

Er det korrekt forstået, at der ud over forbrug blot betales månedligt til:

- Ejerudgifter

- Afdrag på realkreditlån og evt. banklån

- Renter

Er der andre udgifter indeholdt i "huslejen"? Afgifter og skatter, som ikke indgår i det, som boligmægleren kalder "ejerudgifter"?

Hello, I am about to buy a Lenovo LOQ 2025 15,6" i7 laptop with a single 12gb DDR-5 4800 stick but room for another one.

So I want to get another stick right away, and I found a reasonably priced (all things considered) stick of 12gb DDR-5 PC5-44800, 262-pin SO-DIMM.

Is this the right type of RAM for a Lenovo LOQ laptop? And will I be able to dual channel the two sticks (I read something about the slowest stick will set the pace)? I am not looking for a recommendation for a specific product, just if it's the right type of RAM?

Hello, I was about to buy a Forerunner 265 when I saw I can get a Fenix 7 Pro Solar for about $50 more. Is it worth it?

I initially wanted to upgrade from my Vivoactive 5 to the Forerunner to take advantage of better running stats and more storage for music plus general stats/HR/VO2 max and such. If my activities are really limited to running, a bit of cycling and swimming, is the Fenix worth it over the 265? Ìs it equally good at running activities?

Is it annoying to wear in sleep? It's a bit chunky and heavy.

What are people's experiences and opinions?

I had my eyes set on the Forerunner, but the price difference is so small (the Fenix offer really is great) and I know the Fenix is a more "premium" watch. I've read a few posts with people recommending one watch over the other, but that was with a larger price difference in mind. Is it just a no-brainer to get the Fenix when it's only $50 more?

EDIT: I went ahead and grabbed that bad boy! Thanks for the advice!

Hello, I have a Vivoactive 5, less than a year old, got offered a decent price for it. At the same time there's a really good deal on Forerunner 265 here, so the upgrade will only set me back around $200.

I recently started running, and I guess the added running features as well as the increased storage for music (8gb vs 4gb) will prove useful, and I like the design better (although I am a bit worried I will find it uncomfortable to sleep with the bulkier 265 on my arm).

Is the upgrade worth it?

EDIT: I can get a Fenix 7 Pro Solar for about $50 more than the Forerunner 265. Should I go for that?

Hello I am tired of carrying around a giant phone and miss the days of being able to just slide my phone into my pockets and go for a run without a lot of issues.

I've been looking at my options for a small factor phone, either Android or iPhone, and 13 mini still seems the best choice.

My usage is quite limited. I use my phone to listen to youtube videos via Brave, Garmin software, NFC payment, Tidal, banking and a map/gps app.

Will I get locked out of updates for those apps any time soon? I had the original iPhone SE from 2016 to 2024, so I got incredible mileage out of that. How many years into the future can I expect a 13 mini to still be able to run updated apps?

Hello, I find phones to be the most useless expense on the planet, and I don't care about cameras, screen refresh rates, wireless charging and all that BS people get hyped about.

I do however like the practicality of being able to use various "must-have" apps, listen to music and such. Currently I got an enormous brick (OnePlus CE 4 Lite Nord or whatever it's called), but I would like something that will easily slip into a pocket, that I can take with me for a run without having to carry around more gadgets to be able to carry my phone gadget. Those plastic cases people strap to their arms look so dumb.

USB-C, NFZ, GPS, 5G, somewhat decent battery life, aptX lossless or LDAC bluetooth codecs, and not being too close to the edge of forced obsolescence are my priorities.

What are my options? I was very fond of the 2016 iPhone SE that I had until 2024, but I would rather have a (cheap) Android phone.
