So i just finished the Chicago marathon with a PR (yay), but endured a brutal training cycle where i was injured most of the time with this weird groin/lower ab injury (boo). I don't have any marathons on the horizon and while it's going to kill me mentally to not run for a little while, i think i may need a month to recover from this injury.

The issue i have is that no other cardio workout seems to be as efficient as running. As it stands now, i do peloton, Stairmaster, and elliptical (my least favorite). I also lift I can't row (it hurts the injury) and i'm not a good enough swimmer to make a real workout out of it. Other than cycling through those cardio workouts with plenty of li

So, i'm in a gaming rut where i don't have much time to play other than 10 minutes here and 15 minutes there. What are your top games where you can play for 10-15 minutes and still feel like you accomplished something. It should also be a game that doesn't take forever to load up.

• Previously Enjoyed Games: i think games like cauldron, Stardew, minishoot adventures, dome keeper, fields of mistria all seem to git into this. I would say a brotato/halls of torment type game does not because those runs can take a long time if you're doing good.

• Preferred Genres: Any

• Budget: No budget constraints

• Other Notes: the main thing is that it's quick to load up and satisfying for smalle

I was curious to what people's approach is to speed work in the hot and humid as hell summer? Generally i get it least 1 day with some fast 1k/2k/2k/2k/1k speed intervals. However, during the summer (at 5 am is generally 78-82 degrees with over 90% humidity) so far i've just found it absolutely brutal.

Does everyone just do the speed work, just slower and more water stops? Do you do shorter intervals? Or do you just cut out the intervals and let the heat be your speed training for you?

For context, if it matters, i ran boston earlier this year and i'm doing chicago in October. I'm trying to keep up a decent base before real chicago training starts.

Thanks!

I know you can create interval workouts on the apple watch itself, but it's a pain. Does anyone have a good recommendation for an app i can use to create workouts that will be saved on my watch? I want to create some 1k and 2k interval workouts with warmup running and cooldown. I'm okay to pay money, but i don't need something as intense a training peaks i think. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

So, i own a lot of the total war games. i've bought them on sale over time, but i haven't really been able to stick with one. Back in the day, i was obsessed with the orginal medieval and rome total war games. then i went a long time without a computer that could run one. I'm back now and while i've tried warhammer, i just can't get into it. Sadly, in my old age, i feel like the combat is just too difficult for me?

is there one that has a little simpler combat that you all would recommend jumping into that's not too dates?

I'm interested in doing a build my pc through microcenter. The problem, i don't know what any of these parts are.

I don't need cutting edge, i don't have all the time in the world to game, but i'd like to have the option. I was thinking 1200 or less (is that enough?). any suggestions? i'm pretty much open to anything, i just need some guidance. any help would be greatly appreciated.

So, i'm new to Kingdom Come, and i'm terrible at combat (which i understand is not surprising). anyways, i'm at the beginning of the game and so far i've completed the jaunt and i was wandering around north of the castle and came across 2 bandits. I've tried fighting these guys probably 15 times and i cannot beat them. Do i just need to "get good" or could this just be a factor of my character not being experienced enough/have enough gear and i should not waste my time yet?

I have the a station for each side of the bed. Mine works fine, but my wife's is always out of water and i've concluded there is a leak because the nearby curtains are often damp. However, i have been unable to spot the leak, since there isn't just a puddle or visible leak. also, i've noticed that when i look at the history on her app, it will say that it's out of water, water refilled, then out of water about 100 times a night. any ideas here on how to address this? it's incredibly frustrating.

Background, i played a little SDV when it first game out, but fell off (i think i was a little over stressed by making sure i was doing the right thing at the right time). I just decided to get Fields of Mistria on sale, and it's been great! However, i know it's incomplete, so i was wondering if i should just hold off for now. That being said, What should i be playing? Note, i want to play the game on Steam Deck.
Corral Island

Sun Haven

Back to SDV

Keep with MIstria

Other?

I enjoy the farming and mines and building up to better things more than the relationships if that's any help.

Thanks!

Has this been updated to be more playable on the steam deck yet?

So, i ran 3 marathons this year: Houston (my first marathon), Eugene, and local 50k.

My times for the real marathons were:

Houston - 3:04:35

Eugene - 3:02:40

I had injuries training for both marathons that limited me to running 3 days a week with some heavy cross training on the Peloton Bike.

I'm uninjured right now for the first time since before the Houston Marathon, though i've only added one day a week of running to my schedule (with kids/family stuff it's hard to get out and run another morning anyways, as i have to give my wife her change to work out outside the house too and we can't just leave kids alone). My current schedule looks like this (a lot of long runs):

M - 14 mile

have a race this weekend for a 50k that may not be too well marked. any tips for using this app to make sure i don't miss a turn? i've uploaded the route to the WorkOutdoors app, but i'm not too familiar with the app. Thanks!
