I thought it would be a cool thing to see fellow Neowin members share their experiences as competitive or even casual runners for the exhilaration and fitness benefits. Feel free to share the up's, down's and everything in between.

My story:

I'm running another half marathon this weekend in NYC.

Running gear: Nike technical tshirt and running shorts and the Nike Vomero's.

Ah cool :)

I love running, and it's an essential part of my physical training. At the moment I'm currently 1.5 miles (2.3km) in 8m54s. The fastest I've done it in 8m24s a little over a year ago!

I'm more of a sprinter, but can do Long Distance to. The September past I ran Para's 10, a 10 mile endurance run which I did in 1h23m (or around that!) More information on it can be found here: http://www.paras10.com/

Running Gear: Nike ?? Trainers, any pair of shorts and an old / squadron t-shirt.

Great idea for a thread this.

I have been running recreationally for almost two years now. I just went outside one day and tried it, as an addition to going the gym.

The buzz after running is amazing, and the urge to better yourself in terms of times, and also the fact you are running outside with nature is something which means I will never get bored.

I completed the Liverpool Half Marathon just short of two weeks ago, it was my first half marathon and I completed it in 1 hour 50 minutes and 11 seconds. Considering I had been unable to train for two weeks prior to the marathon due to rolling my ankle, I was quite pleased.

Lets keep this thread going!

My story:

Nothing special - I started to grow a belly, my girl started to make fun of me, the usual stuff haha. We have a huge park about 100 meters south from our flat so two weeks ago I decided to start running. I'm running for 14 days now and I feel outstanding, I also managed to almost quit smoking because of jogging.

Running gear:

Well, I had no sports gear till then so I bought myself two Alex Athletics t-shirts, a Kappa running suit (it was still a bit cold in Berlin) and the Adidas Barricade V Tennis shoes (more comfortable than the ones for running).

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1

      By Copernic · Posted

      LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more. LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 changelog: Upstream release, see the Firefox 151.0.3 Release Notes Notable changes: Clears the preference toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart, which may otherwise trigger an upstream bug on Windows (librewolf/issues#3056) Download: LibreWolf 64-bit | Portable 64-bit | ~100.0 MB (Open Source) Download: ARM64 | Portable ARM64 Links: LibreWolf Home Page | Addons | Screenshot | Reddit Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.

      No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
