@UltraRunner26 I really love my OpenRun headset. It’s not perfect, but it’s been a far superior experience to all other Bluetooth headphones I’ve used.

@kareem_carr I think what I find so jarring is that growing up and as a young adult, what I understood from the Republican Party was that character was all that mattered. The reversal has been swift, and complete.

@Predamame He’s very concerned about putting holes in his favorite running shirts.

As OpenAI and Meta introduce LLM-driven searchbots, I'd like to once again remind people that neither LLMs nor chatbots are good technology for information access.

@_nomadic_soul I’ve started scheduling meetings for Tuesday but know that I’m going to be basically useless during them.

[Dr. Brett H. Meyer @bretthmeyer]

@PastorTrey05 Amen!

@Predamame I just want to be faster tomorrow than I am today.

@UltraRunner26 One thing I’ve been surprised by is how discomfort is a moving target. Last month’s very uncomfortable is this month’s a bit uncomfortable; but, without mental toughness, it can be hard to decide to push harder.

@stevemagness What’s a straightforward way to determine the boundaries of these zones?

[Dr. Brett H. Meyer @bretthmeyer]

@UltraRunner26 That crazed look says, “you’re not taking *me* on your run, are you?!”

[Dr. Brett H. Meyer @bretthmeyer]

Doggo.

@UltraRunner26 Pancakes and bacon? As a race day experiment?! I commend your courage.

[Dr. Brett H. Meyer @bretthmeyer]

@UltraRunner26 When you say trial and error, are you referring to fueling strategy? (When) Or brands/types of fuel? (What) Or both?

I’ve settled on a brand; I’m not sure how much caffeine to plan for, though. I’m also up in the air re: carrying electrolyte+water or relying on aid stations.

@UltraRunner26 I’m so excited, to be honest. The point of the race was a check-in for a marathon coming in December. Qualifying for Boston doesn’t feel so out of reach anymore!

[Dr. Brett H. Meyer @bretthmeyer]

@0xKeef @tylerangert Brüst is great!

[Dr. Brett H. Meyer @bretthmeyer]

@UltraRunner26 I’m I pressed by the ramp up after your ultra. Do you have any races on the calendar?

[Dr. Brett H. Meyer @bretthmeyer]
