So I participated in the 12km run for the Perth City to Surf yesterday.

I ran the whole way, with a time of 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Out of 11,173 people for my particular event, overall I came 4604, my gender place was 1321, and for my category of female 30-39 years I came 388th

Not bad for my first ever time at running 12km!

:)

Well done, running just under 6 min/km. how often do you run? Most people struggle with anything 6min/km over that distance.

I only just broke past the 5 min/km last week and I usually run twice a week. Although I don't run 12 km often.

Thank you :) I don't run anymore. I used to run 5km a few times a week a couple of years ago, but was told it would interfere with my lifting so stopped. I began running a month ago for this City to Surf, didn't run over 8km when training.

I think I have a natural long distance running ability, as I used to win cross country and the 1500m easily at school.

Natural Ability or not, It's surprising how quickly the body adapts to running if your willing to put in regular efforts and push yourself through the pain barrier :D

I wanted to improve my running and lose a bit of body fat to get ready for a fitness course so I added a 4 km run to my program a couple of times a week for a few weeks.

My times went from

Run times

16:09 to 15:28.. Would probably be a bit faster then that now

This was on a street course.. Running up hills makes a big difference as well

Hadn't done this run for a few months now..

Managed a 15:08.. No idea how that happened as training has not been anywhere near ideal

That happened to me on my run...the best time I ever set for my 3km suburban was 11:45, after not having run it for months, and previous pb was 11:59.

Maybe running takes a long time to recover from lol

Love to give it a crack these days because I haven't done it for over a year and my leg strength is significantly different from then

What's the deal with compression/recovery tights? Apart from looking like a complete muppet. The ASC website has a few articles, some proving a cardiovascular benefit, and others saying they are a complete waste. Unlike a certain other thread, I am pretty sceptical that these things are worth the money. Or just a big placebo effect.

Think you have to ask yourself: regardless of research and benefits, what can this product actually offer you and is it significant? What is missing from you now that you're not getting from your current clothes?

Do you need said cardiovascular benefit? Are you an elite runner chasing that .1% edge on the competition or do you have more to gain by mentally pushing yourself harder alone / adopting performance increases that don't cost you money.

I apply similar logic to supplements. People buy so much shit - wow, like 8 different supplements - to do all manner of things to their body, the benefits of which they aren't really even sure of...or if they've even been proven to work...and they are nowhere near the level where they should be looking for an edge. When someone weaker than me talks about their psyllium husk and flaxseed oil and BCAAs...I just think wow, what a waste of money; this person hasn't even pushed the limits of what they're capable of without this shit; I'm not even that strong by powerlifter standards and this person is taking all this shit while all I do is supplement protein (if I don't eat enough meat).

So honestly, unless they prevent heart attacks or make you perform significantly better and you're already at your limits, I'd rather you be buying them for the muppet look. And if you tell me it's to stay warmer I will tell you to run harder/faster/further!

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
