I won tickets to a 50k. Am I ready?

Hello. I won tickets for a 50k run that is next weekend. I ran a trailmarathon 3 months ago and trained very well for it (with a good training plan) and things went great. But after the trailmarathon I ran about between 10k and 20k per week (3 months ago untill now)

I wonder if I will be ready for the 50k next week?

Hello. I'm looking to buy a used mtb and I'm not sure what to get. I have an orbea wild (emtb) at home and I woud like to have a more nimble bike as well. I was thinking of a hardtail like the canyon stoic or the commencal meta ht but then I was thinking. Sometimes these bike cost the same amount as a full suspension (more or less) yet i think the hardtail might be more funnat street and such.

What do you guys think?

Hello, i'm new to singing (took 3 lessons and me and my teacher realised i can reach higher notes like in this song by Tamino). But when I practice this, I notice that sometimes there is a scratch in my throat which sounds louder inside my head but it is noticeable. Do any of you people have tips on how to avoid this? It's like some sort of flem that starts making scratchy sound...

Hello, i followed some vocal lessons because I always wanted to sing and got in contact with a vocal teacher through my piano teacher. She is a classical singer (really amazing singer).

I had my 3rd lesson now. In the first lessons we tried to find my vocal range and she was completely amazed that I have 3 octaves of range. My range is from F2 to F5. I couldnt really believe it to be something special because I always feel really shy about singing but she said she has perfect pitch and i'm hitting all the notes she plays on her piano and that three octaves of range is something people train hard for or even never achieve.

Whilst that felt really cool, it also showed me the painful side of my singing insecurities. I grew up in a household where there was constant teasing and ridicule, especially when expressing yourself artisticly through any way. (Mostly from my brothers)

Now everytime i have a lesson, the first 10 to 15 minutes are spend with my finding the confidence to sing and I can feel really vulnerable and bad.

Anybody of you guys/girls have this amount of insecurity and overcame it?
