Here be a thread to discuss the activity of running. The good news is that it can't fail and sink to page 2 because we don't have a page 2 yet :happy:

Some topics to kick us off...

What kind of running do you do?

How far do you run and in what time?

Running for fitness or to compete?

Upcoming running events?

Run Melbourne is on the 17th of July...who is going? Why the **** not?

Just started running again after taking 2 months off from it... Legs are still sore lol.. Did 5k in just under 25 mins which is about my goal pace, though the aim is to build to 9k in 45 mins.

Hoping to do the bridge to Brisbane this year, missed it last year with the flu.

You guys use a heart rate monitor in your running?

Yeah, I have a Suunto T3C... it's and older one now, but it works fine, logs all the data and you can review it later and compare your sessions. It can display in either beats per minute or as a percentage of your max (max is worked out using the 220 minus your age formula or you can enter it manually if you know it) so you can see how hard you are pushing yourself pretty easily. Can use mine for interval training (I think just about all of them do this these days), though to be fair the beep is pretty quiet so the interval beeps can be missed with traffic noise etc.

I got mine last year when I was training on a tight schedule - wanted to make sure I was getting the most out of each training session.

What's keeping you down at the moment?

second round of ankle surgery completed yesterday

screw removed

2 weeks till im fully walking, 2 more or so till im running

gota wait for the hole in my bones to heal

all my soft tissue damage has healed hopefully

(tore most of the ligaments in my ankle :S )

Did C2S last year, want to do it again this year... just coming back from a injury though, think I upped my training/distance too quickly.

Used to do 30-50km a week, but i'm starting off easy again.

It's an awesome feeling

edit: I use all the gadgets.. heart rate monitor, GPS, cadence foot pod.. I just love the stats, loading them into the software and using it to compare runs and how i'm progressing.

Ouch, how'd you do that injury?

well

i 'rolled' my ankle playing basketball

turns out i tore most of the ligaments in the ankle, as well as doing damage to what holds the leg bones together, therefore requiring the screw to hold the bones together so i could heal properly.

been walking around the last couple of days pain free, so things are looking up atm :D

means i dont have to take my crutches when i go out on the town anymore XD

Good luck with the recovery, take care with it...

So what's everyone's reasons for running? As much as I enjoy running, the main reason I run is to boost/maintain my fitness for the sport I play....

That's pretty cool how soon you're allowed to run. Sport can be scary like that sometimes...sometimes ya gotta wonder if it's worth doing it when stuff like that happens!

yeah tell me about it, its the second major injury ive ever had, so cant complain too much i guess

physio keeps telling me ill be able to run in around 3 more weeks, at first i was skeptical, but ive been walking around pain free for the past few days (which i couldnt do with the screw in me) so i guess the signs are good

Good luck with the recovery, take care with it...

cheers :)

and thats why i run, i actually dont like running at all, but it helps with the sport i play, so its a necessity

Helps you get through workouts at the gym, also maintains a toned appearance by keeping the fat off. I don't eat many fruits or vegetables so it's probably a good thing to counter all the carbs/fat, get the blood pumping and clear out the arteries.

Other than that, call me paranoid, but I've always thought it a handy skill to have in case you ever need to get away from something, e.g someone try to roll you with a knife. I would say that at least 95% of the population don't do it, so odds are tipped in your favour that they won't catch you.

I run 5k's at a time right now, currently three times a week but I'm trying to push it to 4/5 times. I've been getting too sore to do it the last couple weeks so I had to back off but I'll keep trying.

I run for fitness, health, and because I really really enjoy listening to some good tunes while I'm pounding the pavement :cool:

I've been steadily getting into weights training also, I've heard it's really bad to do that without a healthy heart. If your heart is too small/weak you can work it too hard.

Of course everyone loves the satisfaction/endorphin rush from pushing yourself that little bit harder and being able to do it! :)

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
