Early Retirement Extreme Forums

There's always this event: http://ephemerisle.org/index.php/Ephemerisle "Dressing up"? take a look at those photos: I see more houses than boats! ok, but to be mildly useful, I do have an associate who goes regularly (I have associates in low places) and if you buy his stories, nevermind ...

@Scott 2 : A lot of sympathy for the conclusions of your podiatrist follow-up. Transitioning from running to rowing/elliptical actually seems to have a number of advantages and particular appeals I'm just awakening to but I appreciate that forced choices are hardly cheery times. I find myself hoping...

2024 Theme: Devotion With luck and well-wishing, and for any rare cloudy days of 2024: To be sure, if one were as secure in one's work as one should be, that would not disconcert one, even in conjunction with a cold: one would simply see and make things out of this state of mind... But one is still...

thank you @shaz, as your list includes what I know I should be doing but conveniently overlook. I was hoping to get away with using hill sprints exclusively for strength training since they are fun but I have no excuse not to also start proper strength-training exercises this year. fine. I might use...

@mF much thanks - although now I'm already starting to think maybe what I really want to do is a 50km... @shaz brings up a point and here is a Public Service Announcement that I would not recommend biking to endurance events, at least if you care primarily about your time. You will run faster than I...

Race Report: Weekly Mileage: 32mi Long Run: 26.2mi I should say this is a small regional race with the order of hundreds of participants. That matters. You can take I-95 or the Appalachian Trail from a little north of Manhattan to Portland, Maine, where on one you'll get to recognize the fellow trav...

okay okay, I'll get to it! I was holding off so as not to interrupt the discussion (as sometimes I get distracted) of foot health which I am keenly following, right now mostly complaint-free so from a contingency planning and monitoring stance, but it seems so important for all runners here and I wa...

Weekly Mileage: 48mi Long Run: 18mi Quick last update: Happy to be back on track, making up for my two week lapse. The day after my long 23mi run last week I immediately logged 2.4 hrs on the bike making deliveries which felt reassuring at the time as a bit of a corrective or fallback to my missed m...

I'm predominantly an achiever / explorer. I'm not looking to beat anyone. I don't much care if someone else sees my experience or a stranger cheers for me. I agree with this for myself. I'm not looking to beat anyone (except my brother) and would prefer not being cheered for as well. Especially as ...

Weekly Mileage: 32mi (!) (Scheduled: 52mi) Long Run: 23mi I guess the thing I like about logging these sorts of things in public is that amidst all that sounds well and good and achievable in theory, once you start, you can't hide the trainwrecks. What was last week's patient tolerance of occasional...

Jacob: I like the bow wave analogy, although if I sense through it I have to acknowledge the bit of queasiness I get at the crest and the insistent preference I have for climbing, not planing afterward. at any rate think I have noticed that transition you describe, most recently in squats where what...

First, congrats to Scott on achieving a long run goal. A lot of up and down in that and I somehow never can run quite as fast on that sort of gravelly stuff. My long runs meanwhile have been coming in a little short. But this coming week will be my max mileage week and am finalizing my thinking on t...

Please bring back some wabi-sabi. I'm not sure if they'll let you take it on the plane but maybe if it's in a sealed container.

(Also: chisels.)

A renovation sister-in-arms runs in her spare time a bikepacking stop on what she's made feel like a campground: there's a well-functioning outdoor shower, firepits, shelter for bikes, space to camp, plans for a bunkhouse. She publicizes it through warmshowers.org which is fairly familiar to the for...

Week Total: 47mi Long Run: 18mi Need to keep my posting cadence up with my running cadence as race is getting closer. Was away for some work of various sorts and had the opportunity this time to do a long run through a charming city by a bay. A consolidation week: long run a bit shorter but had some...

Week Total: 48mi Long Run: 20mi Putting in some miles now. I am enjoying my long runs because at this magnitude one can actually go places. I am not repeating training mistakes of earlier years such as trying out a distant well-regarded breakfast burrito joint mid-run. I'm avoiding breaks, maintain...

Mild-mannered on the streets but a boxer under the bonnet--and secretly never far from blowing a gasket or two.

I'd be interested in seeing the papers relating to performance if you still have them handy. Seems one implication of your research that if nasal breathing can be as efficient (overall) as mouth breathing, it questions the nose breathing test so popular here. Or, perhaps it's more considered to say ...
