I think it's just for the cheap version of Windows, like "Home" or whatever.
Still going for my personal 5K season. Have a race tomorrow. Lowkey expecting a PB (under 21m:18s) but not ready for my ultimate goal yet (under 20m). Will be a good benchmark though, learned (and hopefully improved) a few things after the last race.
Good for them. Respect++.
Oh he did way more than that, and faster than walking. Come on, he did run.
It's been all over the place, but his typical run the past month or so was 75km at 7m:30s/km pace (8km/h). In the beginning he was doing ~50km runs at 5m/km pace (12km/h). I think the slowest I've seen him doing is 9m:15s/km pace (6.4 km/h).
He absolutely did run, but usually at an endurance pace, not at a race pace.
He had struggles in the beginning, but his aerobic fitness is probably astronomical by now.
This.
Also, food deserts are a thing. Poor communities often don't have access to good food, at all.
It's expensive to be poor, and in this case the price is in one's health.
Wow, he's living in 2012 or whatever. A true time traveler.
I have been running for a while. I talk so often about how much I like running that I think that prompted my coworkers to start running as well. They're now running regularly and getting into some races.
I am pretty well trained, so I can go faster and longer than any of them. But they're all about 20 years younger than me. I am very conflicted about the fact that in just 6 months or so they'll be passing me - running faster and likely longer. I'm happy/proud for them, for sure, but also a bit hurt if I'm being honest.
I'm not competitive against other people so I don't care in that sense, it's just that improving is so hard for me at this level. It's hard to reach one's limits I suppose.
Not sure about Canada fires, but everything else is just having the right gear. More layers, the right material, the right kind of gear, etc, makes the run 100% fine. I've been running 6 days out of each week for the past couple of months in NYC (including in storm/cold days; we've had shitty weather at down to ~15F) and I haven't missed a day due to weather reasons.
Some problems are harder and might require niche equipment. For example, if your roads are covered in ice, you need trail run shoes with spikes and a place where that can work, like dirt instead of asphalt. But those are the outliers.
But also this for balance:

I honestly read this every year. There are some deep lessons there that are so important for software and product development in general. It gets better every time I read it.

Can we just celebrate good apps instead of go all out "too indie for you"?
Amazing. Well done!
