This diet you are on with the running is going to take all your muscle. Most bodybuilders use long walks as their weight cutting method as the muscle is not really affected. The other thing is you will feel good when you are done instead of pain. Or turn into a walking skeleton who fights running every chance you can only to overcome it for no reason.

Before I ran 3.8miles last week my furthest run ever was prob 2.5miles back in my 20s. Was always towards the end of the pack on my hs/college baseball team. #iamnotarunner.

As far as our diet plan, decided to put this Triple Crown race in the mix. I guess we train for this. Can I do 6.2miles?
*daily fast til 4p today. Never eat breakfast.
10 small Casear bottle water while playing 1/3nl til 2:30p today. Here now.

Nice job on the running! Best thing I can tell you is just go slow. Keep your pace slow for now (be able to have a conversation while you run), slowly increase your weekly mileage. To train for a 10K I wouldn’t exceed 25 miles/week. Your conversational pace will naturally get faster and once you get to March or so you can start incorporating once a week faster tempo runs to make further improvements. But the vast majority of your weekly miles should always be at the slower pace. It’s counterintuitive but running slower will make you faster on race day.

Thanks for tips. I need all of them. My goal is just running the whole way/finish the race.
25miles a week is tough for me right now. It’s been 10 miles last couple week.
I’ll take ur suggestion of running longer miles but slower pace. Ty

Side note: wd hv hit a straight flush a moment ago (paying $1k high hand promo) but folded middle pair w one diamond on a pot size flop bet.

Yeah just steadily increase your mileage maybe 10% each week until you get up to 20 and you’ll be fine. I know you’re competitive and because you’re starting out already in decent physical shape you’ve got a great shot at running a 10K in the high 40s to low 50s by May.

does it, though? if memory serves me (and it certainly may not lol) I feel like you made around 50k in like 10 months with back yard creations?

along with doing that there were ancillary benefits that you're not getting playing poker. you were up moving all the time and not sedentary in a casino. you were working more by yourself or with people you felt comfortable around and not amongst strangers you may not particularly like in a casino causing your anxiety to build. you still pretty much set your own schedule by being able to seek work and take on jobs as you seen fit. the money was certainly more variance free.

this all seems to go back to what I've noticed and have told you a few times. you insist on making things as hard as possible on yourself and you do it for no apparent reason. its like a form of self flagellation.

my guess is that he doesn't look at poker as a real job (although he sure loathes putting in hours as if it were one). he's hellbent on never working again and bowing down to the man. he's semi-retired remember?

Yes it does.
$50k is prob gd estimate. Never perfected it and didn’t want the interactions, responsibility, or reliability. Just a Covid thing, but poker >osc all day. Poker > everything all day. In poker, it just fits the family schedule so well. So flexible and I’m in control of my own destiny. Either I play A+ and keep the house, or I don’t. Gotta perform.

Still looking to invent a product. If that day comes, poker cd b on a back burner. Haven’t found any gd inventions worth pursuing so far

Most inventions or new products that you could possibly come up with are going to require more “interactions, responsibility, or reliability” (which you said you don’t want) than you have ever dreamed of.

Didn’t want the “interactions, responsibility, or reliability” w osc. Cd deal w all that if come up w a perfect product. Thought of many, but nothing perfect. Always been a dream of mine, but can’t think of the next George Foreman or Scrub Daddy lol

I’ve worked as a trainer for 7 years.

You really going to cause metabolic chaos. Your body is going to use muscle as fuel at a certain point.

No good nutrition and workout plan involves fainting.

as long as we're all piling on.

idk. its hard to tell how much is legitimate vs exaggerated re the fainting. you really like to present your life within the context of a narrative particularly you overcoming hardship and adversity. but like your life has been pretty easy man. you jammed all in into a metaverse alt coin during a speculative mania because your son was 1 of 1200 daily users and made enough money not to have to work for 5 years. over the course of a 10 year thread you've probably played idk 5000? hours while identifying as a poker pro and maybe another 800 doing manual labor. that isn't really struggle lol

all of the weird random competition and challenges seem to me to be in place of accepting that you don't really have a purpose in life. it's pretty clear poker isn't that for you. you also don't seem to have much financial incentive / necessity to play. you don't seem remotely motivated to get better, make more money, move up, or play more hours. you're going to spend more money than you've extrapolated making with an entirely unrealistic winrate / amount of hours played and seem to take some kind of perverse pleasure in doing everything in your power to sabotage your "career". you grinding out rent money while short rolled every month at low stakes nl for eternity (i understand you're rolled now but predict your liquid cash 6 months from now based on winnings / spending) isn't proving anything to the haters, its just wasting your time. the guy earlier who said you don't seem to enjoy poker i think has a point too. from the outside you just seem to do it because you don't know what else to do with your life and don't want to figure it out. that'd probably be ok if you had like 4 million but you have 400k (tied up in equity in a house) and spend what seems to me to be reasonably close to 100k a year.

most likely, despite all the back up against the wall rhetoric and how you will be homeless if you dont make this 30k work, you are going to bust your liquid cash midway through the year and heloc again because time is a flat circle. hopefully it coincides with low / 0 rate environment and we can run the entire thread back

Should have asked this in prior post, you may have listed it and I missed it. Do you know your base metabolic rate ? Adding strength training and eating closer to your BMR would help you achieve goals way healthier and faster !
