Goal - 40 miles Stretch Goal - 50 miles 2/2 - 3.67 2/5 - 3.71 2/7 - 4.27 2/9 - 4.92 2/11 - 5.40 (new PDR!) 2/14 - 3.25 Total - 25.22 Upcoming 5K race 2/26 - First one in 3 years. My only goal is to finish without walking, but it's all hills/inclines so we'll see.

Great job everyone keeping on pace to reach your goals. One week down, three to go! Today was a great day. Lunch run, 47 degrees and sunny. Still had to dodge some ice patches. I felt like I could have gone 5 miles but had to get back to work. Goal - 40 miles Stretch Goal - 50 miles 2/2 - 3.67 2/3 - Rest 2/4 - Too much…

Hello all, I am also new here. I have two upcoming goals to motivate me - a 5K race at the end of February and skiing in Colorado in March. I just finished C25K in January again so I hope to continue that progress. Currently I alternate run days with rest. I prefer to run outside if I can but the winter weather sometimes…

I had the same problems when I first did C25K. During the first 3 weeks it's kind of a trap to jog faster since we get to walk and recover. But once I got to the 8 to 10 minute continuous there was no way I could finish without slowing down. I got a HR monitor and used HR to pace myself to around 90% max. Then I was able…

Here's the view at the finish of my 5K run yesterday.

The common recommendation is people will tell you to go to a running store and get professionally fitted into a shoe. I've had mixed results with that so I'm not sure that's entirely necessary. First I would recommend searching for a guide on how to choose the right type of shoe for your foot. Basic Pronation (Neutral),…

Hello runners! I restarted C25K about 5 weeks ago and just recently made it up to 3.1 miles distance. I seem to lose motivation and interest after a couple months so I'd also like to find some running friends for inspiration.

Hi, I'm a Beat Saber player and haven't tried Supernatural. When I play for exercise I wear a Fitbit and start a generic exercise so its heart rate monitor calculates calories burned. Then in MFP I add an exercise on my diary, choose Cardio, scroll all the way down and choose Create New Exercise, then it asks for a…

Hello all, I recently completed C25K for the third time in my life and am currently running around 3 miles three days a week (including the full 5k today). However, my priority is weight loss so speed and time is not important to me. Instead of timing myself, I use a heart rate monitor to keep myself in the 70-90% of max…

Good news Beat Saber fans. I've created a new fun, dancy type map that also seems to be a pretty good workout. Enjoy! Dua Lipa - Break My Heart

I also got a silicone face mask because Beat Saber makes my face and head sweat. I don't want it to get absorbed the Quest's cloth face cover.

@Delilahloo I have been following the OculusQuest subreddit for ideas on comfort. I've tried 2 ideas that seem to work good for me but others have gone really far to the point they name it "FrankenQuest" due to all the Frankenstein modifications they've done. The first thing I did is get a Oculus Quest Comfort Head Strap…

@Delilahloo Quest is back in stock at the official site https://www.oculus.com/quest/

@mom23mangos LOL. Glad you liked it. I started out by studying what Benny did on the songs I liked and borrowed a few of his patterns. His maps are not as "wristy" as others which I also like. I watched his tutorials on YT and I can tell the guy is very talented and has both musical and artistic ability. Just by emulating…

Today’s Beat Saber session for 1hr 2 mins, 739 calories burned according to Fitbit. Down 7 lbs since January 1. B)

I know Oculus Quest was a hot item at Christmas, but apparently Half-Life Alyx releases in March and is keeping demand pretty high. I got mine on Black Friday online before demand surged.

New map release on bsaber: Jonas Brothers - Only Human

Challenge accepted :D Good song, and I had no idea it wasn't already mapped. It might be at least a week though because I'll be driving and downhill skiing all weekend, so maybe I can start on it next week.

Wow my last map was "Curator Recommended" and now it's on the front page of bsaber.com. Cool! B) Thanks for the song suggestions. I will try them all!

Woohoo! Today I beat Don't Start Now on Expert. I figured out my main issue was the alternating diagonal blocks, using large arm and shoulder movements quickly is not as easy when you're older :smile: I practiced the song by keeping elbows attached to my side and let my forearms and wrists hit those blocks, and then I beat…

Haha, I'm still working on my skill level and can do most Expert songs. But for some reason I'm finding this one mapped by Ryger as one of the hardest Expert map I've done. I still haven't finished it.

Hello all, I just published a new map Dua Lipa - Physical in both Hard & Expert. I originally wanted to do Don't Start Now but someone has already released it. https://bsaber.com/songs/8570/ If you have the Steam version give me a thumbs up if you liked it.

Beat Saber is available on the following platforms: PlayStation VR - $599 maybe? but cannot be modified to play custom maps and songs HTC Vive - $499 but requires a PC with minimum specs (an $800+ gaming PC) Oculus Rift S - $399 but requires a PC with minimum specs (an $800+ gaming PC) Oculus Quest - $399 for the 64GB…

@mom23mangos Thanks for trying out the maps. Of the 3, Welcome to the Jungle map has now been downloaded 5,700 times with 71 upvotes which blows away the others. I figured out only the Steam version can leave upvotes. None of the Oculus models including Quest supports the voting mod. I'm actually thinking next on my list…

I finally finished editing and playtesting 3 maps, and they're now on Beastsaber & Beatsaver. Search for yomama. If you try them out, let me know which one was your favorite and why :smiley: Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N' Roses P.Y.T. by Michael Jackson Poker Face by Lady Gaga Some notes - Welcome to the Jungle was my…

This guide was updated 2 weeks ago: https://bsaber.com/installing-the-mod-guide-necessary-for-any-custom-songs/

@mom32mangos Dura by Daddy Yankee is on bsaber - Expert level only. Try it out? We also have been mapping Poker Face by Lady Gaga but still play testing it. Unfortunately our left controller needs to be RMA'd as the vibration no longer works and it will take a couple weeks to get a new one :(

Hey Beat Saber fans! My son got an Oculus Quest for Christmas and of course he got Beat Saber. I set it up to do custom songs and it's amazing how much more fun the game became. I'm working my way up in skill level and can do all songs on Hard and working on a few Expert levels. It's amazing to me that I can wear a Fitbit…

I recently restarted C25K for the third time. I decided to walk 30 minutes 3 times per week for 2 weeks (similar to the great suggestions above). Then on my 3rd week I started on C25K Week 2, using the Zenlabs app. My best tip that has not been mentioned is to pace yourself once you reach the long runs of 20 minutes or…
