    There are both epidemiological and experimental studies on carnivore-type diets. There are indeed populations that have a carnivore-based diet, and have been the subject of studies - although I do not necessarily agree with all their findings. Yes, high protein diets have been linked to NCD's, but so has high carb diets.

    I think I’ll get one for my commuter. Are they only available in 145mm width?
  3. Pulse
    I would be aiming for a slightly higher cal intake once on target. Probably 150 odd higher than your estimate. You could probably lift your protein a bit more as well (but that would mess up your targets again).
  4. Pulse
    There is no simple answer. How many cal do you burn during exercise?
  5. Pulse
    Agree. Let me rephrase. If the total speed of the runner + wind speed exceed 18km/h, there is a significant benefit. I would have done the same... I can’t stand it when people do that
  6. Pulse
    The benefit from drafting inly becomes significant above 18km/h, so in running its usually not a big deal. BUT the psychological benefit and pacing effect can be huge

    If the aim is to (simply) do an Everesting run, then sure, explore the hills. If the aim is to do it as fast as possible, use the best hill one has access to; even if that hill has been used a million times before. Surely there is scope within ‘the spirit of Everesting’ for both?! (I can’t believe I just posted on this @€€£! thread)

    Yes, but your scenario is different, as you (seller) was being harassed by the buyer to try and get you to release goods before funds have cleared. Totally different story here.

    Hmmm... So the bulk of the kit in the COMRADES store is just normal unbranded (no Comrades branding) Mizuno stuff?!

    It depends a bit. With some banks, even instant payment takes 2-3 days if you have not made two prior payments to that individual; even if they bank with the same institution

    Agree, and both the listed units use GPS-based elevation.
  12. Pulse
    I would guess different GPS chipsets, but even between two identical units (FR35), we often see 20m+ difference between the two per km.

    ASA are such a bunch of &@!%!

    For some reason I’ve never liked him

    I’ve had PF on numerous occasions. Cycling (IDT) has always saved me. If you have issues on the trainer, consider temporarily moving your cleats back a bit.

    Unfortunately sport events like these are easy targets, and get massive (indirect) publicity for the protesters

    Sorry, let me rephrase. The zero drop shoes I was referring to are NB Minimus and Minimus Trail, so it does not provide much cushioning (so zero-drop, minimalist would be a better description). I'm fine with them for up to about 12-15km, but can't do much longer in them. I also prefer to have multiple shoes that I cycle in a week. I have no issue with zero-drop shoes for long runs, and would probably prefer it, but something with a bit of cusioning.

    Okay, let me ask the question that I hate seeing. I need some advise on shoes. I'm looking for light anti-pronation or neutral shoes with a very shallow heel counter/cup. I used to run in Asics (GT/Kayano/etc), but after they revamped their lineup a couple of years ago, the depth at the heel is such that it impacts on the Achilles tendon, and I can no longer run with them. My zero-drop shoes are perfect, and I have no issues with it. I am however looking for something I can do higher mileage in. I'm not too worried about the amount of drop, but would prefer to stay below 10 or 12mm. I have no brand loyalty, but don't like Nikes. Any suggestions?

    You should be able to link the amp and tv. At worst (if the amp doesn’t have HDMI, you can just get HDMI/RCA converter cables). As for what to watch. For me it depends on what I do. If a long session, then anything that will occupy the mind - movies, series, even the news. When suffering I prefer not to watch anything but the time, and use music to motivate

    I’m also still in... The last month has been a bit of a struggle after a dog attack while on a run left me with some stitches and some residual hip muscle issues

    Are they all aluminium frames?
  22. Pulse
    Perhaps some people just don’t want to tape stuff all over their bikes
  23. Pulse
    Done

    Kynoselen is NOT an anabolic steroid.Why does everyone only see Heptaminol as a prescription drug for low BP? Its found in a lot of different products. I don’t want to list brands/products, but Heptaminol is found in several products that supposedly prevents cramps, or aid recovery. Its found in some haemorrhoid meds, toothpastes and mouth washes, in headache tabs, etc. I’m sure many of us has ingested Heptaminol inadvertently via these products. Note that I am not condoning the ingestion of any banned substances, deliberately or inadvertently
  25. Pulse
    Heptaminol has little to no performance enhancing effect. I doubt improvements would have been shown in testing. If deliberately used for doping, it is also often just used during events. Its typically fully excreted within 24hours.
