  • Henrik@lemmy.worldtoRunning@lemmy.world•444 miles on my last running shoes!!

    I get consistently high miles from my shoes. 1200-2000 km. I recently got 2300km out of my altra LP 5s and I think there are some factors (n=1)

    • Weight - I’m 70-75 kg. Less weight = less wear
    • Shoe rotation - I have 6 pairs which I try to rotate. Gives more time for shoe to rest between runs
    • speed - I tend to run at easy paces, so lower speed = lower wear
    • stinginess - I am stingy, so I don’t mind a shoe feels a bit dead towards the end of its life. It will still do well as a everyday running shoe. It just won’t be used for races.

    It’s the upper that wears out first for me as I have quite wide feet.

    That’s great! Good luck with your upcoming 80km.

    From my own experience (~3 years of running, 1 100k, 7-10 runs between 50 and 70kms, 4 marathons, and a couple of shorter distances recently), consistent speed work is important, and goes a long way for running longer distances. I still run at 60% heart rate, but the speed is higher and the races become easier.

    I would do a marathon if you want to. I found them fun, but they are not for everyone. A very different experience from an ultra.

    Re hills, I find downhills much harder and more important to train for than uphills. The time you lose from walking uphill is minimal compared to running.

    Previously I was able to search for “true” and “false” in my codebase. How do I do that now? VS Code has a new search interface specifically for toggles. It’s closed by default, but you can open it by clicking the “Toggle Search Toggle” toggle.

    Yo dawg, I heard you liked toggles so we gave you a toggle to search for toggles in your toggle

    Also, the section defining behaviour for null and undefined values are kind of bonkers.

    Buuut, a nice visual nonetheless. I don’t see myself using it though.
