What is your zone 2 range? It should feel easy, as in able to keep a conversation going, no huffing and puffing.

The correct response is: shhhh it’s quiet time. Those around you will adapt.

“Would you recommend this to a parallel universe instance of yourself in a similar situation, who is not yet decided on a purchase?”

Haha you’re right, it probably doesn’t really apply to most things. I do get asked what I recommend more than the average person because my friends and family know I research purchases too much. I hate buying junk.

This is good. I would consider adding “Would you recommend to a friend” but that may be redundant given what you have already.

My favorite is the one star review when it’s a shipping issue. “Look at this, the box is ripped!”

I think the decentralized but moderated review network is the most important part. I like the idea of local shop keepers with specialized knowledge (I’m thinking of my local goto kitchen store) or just online experts (like the folks at whathifi). I like to research a bit (a lot really) before I decide what to buy and a resource like this would be invaluable. Finding it locally after deciding what to buy can be an issue (especially if you are not in the US), but this aspect could be separate, as is shipping.

Ok thx will take a look and edit my post

I stretch after I run. When I had IT band tightness and pain in my knees I added IT band stretches like in this image except I place my hand much higher on the wall. The pain went away after a few sessions. Note that more advanced stretches may not be the best idea if your IT bands are super tight, you can easily injure yourself. If I don’t run and stretch at least once every 2 weeks, the pain will return.
