Who else here is a runner? From the 55m indoor dash, to the 26.2 mile marathon, running has been apart of peoples lives for thousands of years. Did you know the first marathon was run during the Ancient Greek times when a runner had to run 26.2 miles to report the news of a oncoming battle.

I'm a 1600m (mile) runner for the most part. My fastest time is 4:50

When I get older, I want to qualift and run the Boston Marathon

Yeah, I knew that actually :) It's pretty interesting! Alexander the Great also competed in track in the Olympics, if I correctly remember hearing that little fact.

I run the 400, sometimes the 200. PR's of 49.91 (400) and 22.97 (200). I only run the open 200 in summer track, though.

Up until last year I used to do the 100 and 200m sprint in the Disabled athletics scene, I won literally a bucket load of medals and a national record. I'm very proud but due to work commitments and other stuff I decided to give it up. Hoping to get back into it one day.

Wow, I can barely go maybe 100m withoth chocking. Running has always been hard on me :no: . Although I can PowerWalk for miles, but when running I just seem to loose my breath...

Any tips?

well start slow. Start doing 2-3 miles at a comfertable pace. After a week of doing this either every day, or every other day, pick it up to 3-4, then 4-5 miles the week after.

After that, slowly start picking up the pace but not too fast where you can't maintain it throughout the entire run

What would be a confortable pace? Jogging really slowly :p I'll take your advice to it. Is there any preferable time in day for practicing? Morning, Noon, night? Or which ever fits me best? Because i've tried in the morning and it's hard enough for me to get up at 6am and go to the university :pinch: let alone wake earlier for jogging :sleep:

Well start at like a 9-10 min per mile pace, just a pace where you arent breathing extrely hard, but not just a normal breathe pattern. As 2 weeks pass, try picking up the pace a bit

I love to run in the afternoons or night. Actually some of my favorite runs are during sundown or beginning of night before the cold sets in.

1600m isnt equal to 1 mile. ;)

fine 1609m is a mile.. jeez

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
