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!

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
