I have a pretty easy going day today so I have a lot of time on my hands. I love talking to strangers on the internet and I can talk about pretty much anything and keep the conversation interesting!
Come and say hey!
For reference I am training for my marathon using the Hal Higdon Novice 2 plan.
I have never carb loaded before so that’s something I want to practice before race week. I’ll be doing a 3 day carb load starting Thursday for a Sunday race day.
My question: At what distance long runs should I start practicing the carb loading? My 29km, 31km and 33km long runs? Those will be my longest 3 runs.
I have had my forerunner music 245 since the beginning of time, I have started prepping for an ultra marathon and I am wondering is there much perks to upgrading to something else?
I must admit I haven’t really dived into the capabilities of this Garmin watch other than recording runs, walks, strength training and uploading a few run workouts.
Do I just save my money and keep this watch or is the upgrade going to be worth it?
My partner and I are going to be starting the pre approval process shortly to move out of my 2 bedroom unit and into something bigger now we have a little one running around.
Future plans sound like a second child is to come and my partner is wanting to go to part time work until both kids are off to primary school.
My question is around planning for the future, buying a property that we can afford once we go from two full time incomes to one and half.
- How can I find out what we can afford when that scenario comes into play?
- Ideally I’d love to keep the unit and rent it out if affordable, are these things doable with one income?
Apologies if this is the wrong chat to ask these sorts of questions!
Am I bent over enough to be hitting my back efficiently? Limited to squat rack, barbells and adjustable dumbbells so bent over rows seem like a good choice for a back exercise.
