What are some good hobbies/interests for someone in their mid thirties to pick up? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

If you have time and enjoy being active / outside - running.

If you prefer learning and/or experiencing something other than your daily life - reading.

Both can be tailored to your own availability/interest (fast or long running, solo or group, non-fiction or fiction, specific interests or genre.

How do you integrate speed work into your regular running? (lemmy.world)
 

Hey all,

Since starting to integrate more trail running into my regular runs and typically aiming for at least 1 solid long run on a mountain (1000m / 3000ft elevation gain) weekly, I've found that if I still want to maintain high mileage weekly that I struggle to have days where I integrate speed work. I often feel like my legs/muscles are sore enough that my gut instinct is the risk of injury from the speed session is higher than the gain from doing it.

In addition I just find the trail and mountain runs much more enjoyable so don't feel compelled to downgrade my longer trail runs to add in speed sessions.

Curious how speed sessions factor in for others and how easy/manageable it is for you to add it in during especially higher trading periods either by volume or elevation.

Into Ultra: Damian Hall launches new initiative to get more people into ultrarunning (www.runnersworld.com)
 

Interesting article and initiative about trying to support people with less resources who want to participate in ultra running.

Would you consider ultra running a cheap or expensive sport/hobby to engage in?

What race do you wish existed? (lemmy.world)
 

If you had the capability to create a race with no restrictions/limitations on what was possible, what would it be? What is your dream race that doesn't exist as an actual event, but you wish it did?

With ultramarathon and ultrarunning both being private on Reddit currently, how much extra running are you hoping to get in during the downtime?

[Fabrizio Romano] Manchester United have sent messages to Mason Mount confirming intention to insist in the next days. Personal terms, not an issue as player’s keen on the move. 🔴 #MUFC in c/[email protected]

You would think so. 70 million for mount seems like a steep price for sure.

Love it. Definitely didn't manage to get in and comment too much in the Reddit community, felt like shouting into a massive crowd. Nice to know there's alternatives to still get my fix of football news!
