That's true, but I do enjoy competing with myself even if it's not on a world stage. I might not share anything in common with Haile (that 56kg bastard runs 5km in the time it takes me to do just over 3km lol), but I don't share much in common with 99% of the population who don't run either ;)

Oh 56kg. Only 40kg lighter than me then. >_<

I guess my point is you still make big improvements if you do a consistant <100% effort & it is easier to find motivation. The odd maximum effort to see how well or otherwise you are doing doesnt hurt - other than if you try it too often. Then you end up tired/unhappy and often as not injured.

Yep, training cycles is the way to go , consistently trying to lift your fitness base, going full on 100% will only get you injured and you actually end up going backwards in my experience.

Well, this week I've flat out busy and basically only got a chance to work out 1 night this week, and whaddaya know, soreness was pretty much gone!!

I ran a heap when I was a kid and am now getting back into it. Im running a 6km route on an average time of 28min. My best is a 27.30. Its fairly hilly which is good. I was doing it about 3 times a week but surfing is getting in the way.

6kms in less than 30mins is def worth bragging about.

I can barely do 2.5kms in 15mins.

This week im changing my routine.. i want to get ripped for summer therefore will be pushing my self harder to achieve 3km's in least possible time and at least running 3-4 days a week.

hey guys,

ive only really started running about 9 days ago have done 3 runs (3.58km, 4.3km and 3.53km) as it had been close to 3 weeks since BBall and i need to have some fitness..

but i think the main motivation i got all of a sudden is RunKeeper.. Any of u guys use it?

its an app on iphones that tracks:

distance travelled, maps it out, altitude (i live in a hilly area so good to see. climb = 36m), Pace (minutes per km) etc

and its awesome! haha highly recommend it... ive knocked off 2 minutes on my 3.5km runs went from 19:46 to 17:44 really motivational to see progress.

I went out and bought some running shoes the other day, $220 later. Hopefully can get out for a run tonight for the first time since I started bulking (7 months ago). My blood pressure went up over this bulking phase, so hopefully running will counter it a little bit.

i have no motivation to run unless its some sort of sport. Dont know how you guys do it.

I take my hat off to you.

i am usually like that too.. and usually just play bball (twice a week) and some years i play footy and i do weights a fair bit...

trying to beat urself is great motivation though... plus i had to get new runners recently for uni so wanted to use them..

Whats some good running Shoes?

I've got some Nike Cross trainer's but now im getting into running faster and more often. (8-10km 3 times a week)

Heard good about Asics

ive heard alot of good things about asics too... although i still decided to buy reebok Realflex's..

if you plan on doing a lot of running. you should go to a shop like "the running factory" (a place where they analyse ur step/stride on a treadmill and pick shoes accordingly)

you should try something like them and see what they recommend for your gait.

all depends on what foot type you are.

if your foot rolls in when you stride then a kayano is good as it has built in arch supprt.

but if you bought a kayano when your foot rolls out its only going to make it roll out more.

so then you would need a more neutral shoe that doesnt have arch support.

but yes kayano are a real winner.

i used to work in a sports shop :) shoes make or break your body when it comes to running.

I have shoes that help with my flat-footedness. I think the term is over-pronating? Could be wrong.

I still need proper orthotics though. 12 month waiting period for those on private health insurance, argh.

In about August I was at my peak running fitness, I got a personal best of 5km in 25 mins, was fairly proud of that :)

Cut out most of my running because it was making me lose too much weight, haha.

Thanks guys. Might go have a look at the kayano tomorrow.

5km in 25mins is good man. In my 8-10km fastest is 45. When i first started i was hopeless at running and done most of it walking (1hr 20 lol)

lost heaps of weight tho but now i wanna tone and not lose to much more.

is treadmill running better then on the path running or is it the other way around, i just started out about 2 weeks ago on a treadmill.

My best was 3.7km distance in half hour my breakdown is 10min power walk @6.2kph speed then 10 minute jogging at 8.2kph speed then back to 6.2kph speed for the remaining 10min

Been through a fair few sets of Kayano's now (talking several thousands of kilometers) they are pretty much the best running shoe you can get.

If you do a search there is a place in england that sells them online, works out being over $100 cheaper then buying them here !

    • 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.
