Re: How awesome is slow cooking?

There was a prominent lack of mention of @jacob's promoted stirfrying amongst what I shared of East Coast United States colonial food cultures above, but I imagine stir-frying as staple technique might have a beachhead--and would be interested if anyone ever comes across a similar cultural ...

Re: How awesome is slow cooking?


I doubt there's any kind of conspiracy behind it. More likely, modern cooking evolved around what kind of stoves people had access to/generally used. Stir fry works over open fire, so likely lower latitudes.

Re: V02 Max Challenge

@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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Weekly Mileage: 48mi

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 ...

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 ...

Re: V02 Max Challenge

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 ...
