bought a jump rope online and it came with a glitchy handle, the steel rope uncoiling and poking through the plastic coating, and dirt under a different part of the coating. garbage.

« on: April 18, 2020, 11:21:39 am »sorry to bother you guys but im doing a project for grad school and im conducting some kind of user experience surveying. The app i've chosen is for runners. you're probably already using garmin connect (etc)? my question is what sort of features would you like to see in a running app, if any, or what would you remove that exists in your current app but you've never found useful? apart from features what do you look for in a running apps (bare minimum) in terms of user experience? any other feedback welcome. thank you.
i don't have as many complaints about the garmin app as i do about their web interface, which is astoundingly bad and almost completely useless.
the main feature i'd like to see in the app is to be able to review the workout by distance, not just time. as it stands, you can look at minute-by-minute pace, elevation, and HR, but not trace any of those against where you were at in a run. mapmyrun kind of allows that (online, not in the app) but still not very well.
i'll keep thinking about it.

i've been alternating nights of bad and good sleep the last 4-5 days. night before last i took hours to pass out and then was awake for several long stretches in the early morning. last night i slept for 9 solid hours. not sure what that's about, just noting it down.

a strong squatter on lyle mcdonald's mean forum swore by standing ab pull-downs for squatting core strength. he did 'em with bands and cables both, iirc. n=1 but something else to consider if you're concerned about your core.

+1 for orthotics being bullshit. i got some 10 years ago, when my toes were first starting to become really problematic and i had all kinds of feet and leg pain. they did...nothing.

i googled jay schroeder just now, finally, and one of the first hits is for a thread on charlie francis's forums from 2003. who should be there on page 1 but our very own coolcolj, with the following observation:

- run 10.10 km in 47:01
gf accompanied on bike. body felt great and it was cooler today so i let myself go fast, 4:39 pace including a 4:03 over the last km. i was conversational, four breaths in-four out, until the last few hundred m when i got under 4:00 pace. 10k "PR" of 46:38.
- stretch
gf said afterward that she understood i run a lot (comparatively) but that she was impressed going along with me today by what that means in practice. felt nice to hear that. having her ride along is nice actually. might open up some fartlek possibilities down the line, always struggled doing fartleks alone.

were they good doughnuts? because i still haven't had a truly good one outside the US. or even really seen/smelled one that looked promising.
if so, i demand details.
