Hey Ted, best of luck for your Marathon. Look forward to seeing you back on track.

[@TedMeat]

Thank you!

[@GrandPrixYannick]

Best of luck with the marathon, Ted! Hope to see you back in November!

[@TedMeat]

Thank you! And congrats for your hardcore season, sorry I couldn't catch the live stream. Comforting to see that also you make mistakes sometimes :)

[@Jackal776]

Good luck with the training! I’m in a similar position - I’m running the Philadelphia Marathon in November. First marathon since 2018!

[@TedMeat]

Thank you and best of luck to you as well! My last was in 2019, started too fast and the last 17 kilometers were pure hell. Hopefully bit less suffering this time :)

[@iKR-iKeysRacing]

Grande Mr. TedMeat 👍 Happy to see you back in action, even if with a different type of racing. I can only imagine how tough can be, because in my life I just did 3 half-marathons (Monza, Venice and Milan), and was a pain in the neck to follow a training-plan. So after those...I still run for my health but not anymore within official races. It becomes a second job to train properly. So maximum esteem, wishes and cheers from Italy as always 💪💪💪 Grande!!! Marco Lazzari [iKR] 👋👋👋

[@TedMeat]

Thanks Marco! You're spot on about it becoming a second job, right now it feels just like that :D I'm looking forward for more casual running and more versatile sports in the future, just have to survive this one! For me a half-marathon is mentally harder than the full one. If you do your pacing right, marathon is only 10 (last) kilometers of suffering. But in a half-marathon you can basically go almost on full revs for the whole race so it's 21,1 kilometers of suffering :D

[@iKR-iKeysRacing]

@@TedMeat ciao 👋🤟 I've never looked to this 42,2k VS 21,1k comparison, like you did, and you opened up a new world to me. I don't remember being full throttle, me bad, when I did as an amateur my half-marathons. So maybe I have approached them veeeeeeeery slowly indeed, and without the knowledge that they could have been run like a race on GP4 instead 😬 But still, to me 42km are insane. So maximum kudos to you, good luck and best wishes for these final weeks of preparation 💪🔝💪🔝💪🔝💪 Cheers 👍

[@DarylLewis]

Wow, very picturesque there Ted, stunning! Good luck with the Marathon and your real life goals :)

[@TedMeat]

Thanks Daryl!

[@alphabetaxenonzzzcat]

Okay Ted. Good luck with your marathon. I hope to see you back some time in the future.

[@TedMeat]

Thank you :) Bang will return!

[@PabloGonzalez-wi2mv]

Hi Ted, happy to Hear about you. Good luck in the Marathon and we were still waiting for you return. Yesterday I played NewStar GP (a New game in steam) and I remember you because have that retro style that you like.

[@TedMeat]

Thank you Pablo, good luck will be needed!

[@federicobravin2052]

Good luck with the marathon. I use to wake up early in the morning to running a little bit since last year and my health improved a lot. I have more energy to do the every-day stuff. Is a good excercise and motivation for improve yourself. I hope to see a vlog about that marathon and of course, see Friedrich Bang back to the track.

[@TedMeat]

Great to hear! I think that in the long run running for health is better than running for specific goals. Goal oriented running might eventually turn into energy consuming, instead of the opposite and I feel that's kinda happening to me now. So after this race I'll take it easier and perhaps enjoy more :)

[@poweruppete]

So beautiful to see how your channel evolved. :-) Good luck at the marathon.

[@TedMeat]

Thank you! Luck will be needed :D

[@MichaelR82]

Good luck Ted! You give me an idea to return to running every week.

[@TedMeat]

Thanks and great to hear about the inspiration :) I really like running, but atm it feels it's getting a bit too serious. I shall return to running for fun once I'm done with the marathon.

[@lipecosta3850]

Best of luck Ted!! Cheers from Brazil! See ya soon!!

[@TedMeat]

Thank you! Just 1,5 weeks to go for the marathon :)

[@chrisjackson3750]

Good to see you fit and well Ted 👏, We all have a other interests and hobbies, I go through phases where all I like to do is sim racing, then its a few months of something else, music or following my favourite football team, then back to gaming. All of this has to fit around family, work and everything else, sometimes I would struggle to balance all my responsibilities and interests, and desire to fit everything in, but with age and a little more wisdom 😁 I just go with the flow and gaming is less of a priority, but more enjoyable when I do pick it up again, because I'm not constantly focused on it, good luck in your marathon 🏃 ( I hope arch rival DC doesn't sign up for marathon 😁 )

[@TedMeat]

Yeah, going with the flow is the thing. Currently it's not that tough, once you sing in for a marathon, you'll run, whether you want or not :D I'm really looking forward for returning to going with the flow, less than 1,5 months to go! And if DC is there we will crash, that's for sure.

[@herdarkshadow834]

Amiga Forever is the easiest way to emulate the Amiga on a PC. Glorious scenery by the way 🙂

[@TedMeat]

Thanks for the tip, I actually decided to give Amiga Forever a go because of your suggestion. The sounds in the PC version are ear piercing, I'd love to get the Amiga version working.

[@TedMeat]

Well damn. I went and tried Amiga Forever and it works like a charm! Thank you again!

[@herdarkshadow834]

@@TedMeat Told you it was the easiest way. 😉

[@hatcher8930]

Can you look at the chat during the marathon? How are your fields in Finland? Is it like an American-style farm where all your land is in 1 connecting private area where even the roads are private or are they spread out with public roads and other people's fields in-between?

[@TedMeat]

I better keep my eyes on the road here. Speed is slower but this time it hurts for real if I hit something. In western Finland there are massive single fields, bit like in the US but where I live it's much more scattered. So I regularly entertain the traffic with my slow machines on the public roads :)

[@grandprixthree9862]

I had a a toshiba laptop with the same background of this lake.

DC is also doing the Frankfurt Marathon watch out for DC

[@TedMeat]

Oh there will be a crash!

[@MinardiSimsport]

Good luck for the marathon 🏆

[@TedMeat]

Thank you :)

[@pelimies1818]

Accolade's F1 game (Edit* Grand Prix Circuit from 1988) was best and pretty realistic racing at the time (until Geoff's and Papyrus' racing series), but the PC sounds was ear piercing awful and it was a sprite game, so it was far from perfect. The game was pretty simple, bc the computers were so underpowered -yet, the game felt supreme, and somehow special, compared to titles seen so far. Looking fwd for your vid!

[@TedMeat]

Yeah, you can really see they tried their damndest to make it as realistic as possible. Hats off for that. And you're right about the glorious PC beeper sounds, they're poison to the ear :) I've decided to have a go with Amiga emulation, hopefully it'll work out.

[@veverron]

Kova tavoite, onnea matkaan!

[@TedMeat]

Kiitos :) Juuri nyt tuntuu, että liian kova, saas nähdä.

[@paulosbribeiro]

Good luck with your marathon training! And try to persevere despite the horrible surroundings 😄

[@TedMeat]

Thank you. And autumn is here, so soon the surroundings might be horrible for real :D

[@dooblydoo9224]

Hi Ted, I got bored a while (maybe a month?) ago, and hacked the 1988 qualifying results for the 3 teams (Williams, Ferrari and McLaren) into the results sheet for Grand Prix Circuit, if you wanted a copy for the stream just let me know? laptimes posted IRL vs what the cars in GPC can achieve is way slower, but at least it's something to look at the end of each race? all the best with the marathon, and hope to see you back to streaming soon.

[@TedMeat]

Oh man, I actually just finished making the GPC video earlier today 😅 It should come out tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion anyway, that would have been interesting. Although it was also fun to do the game 100% vanilla.

[@claudionavio4145]

How could you are not dead, if you are already in paradise? 😂 😂 😂 Good luck Ted Meat

[@TedMeat]

Thank you! Autumn is coming, paradize is slowly turning into a dead, frozen hell :D

Tsk, what a terrible place to have to run. 😀 Best of luck with your training, and we're not going anywhere so you just take your time.

Thank you, luck will be needed :)

Run like the wind (or Forrest Gump). Good luck.

Marathon is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you're gonna get.

[@arqpaulo]

Hi Bang...how was the marathon? i dont remenber ifi asked about it before, sorry!

[@TedMeat]

Hi Paulo! It was fun but not a good time, 3:30. Wrong tyre choice, it was wet and my shoes were super slippery :D It was like running on ice so you can imagine my legs melted half way trough the race. Already training for the next marathon and this time I bought new race shoes 😂

[@arqpaulo]

Ohhh Yeahhh , Marathon training program... a lot of lactate thresholds.... dont forget some, few vo2 max trainning are good... fartlek vere very easy plus marathon ritmin helped me a lot in my mrathon number 7...i made 3:24:00 pace 4:50..... i hope you hve a reat marathon, and dont gie up, you will make a lot of more...yahhh it's hard with our age...e am 45 years now...and i agree with you..but, you will be have a great race abd will RETURNS to anothers one...... regards and...

[@TedMeat]

Great job man, we have exactly the same record, I also have 3:24! 😀 I'm doing a training program by Greg McMillan, just did 16 km of marathon pace (4:35/km) today. Great workout, feeling good 🙂

[@arqpaulo]

yeah awesome@@TedMeat i also like to do 10 miles in maraton race pace, it's a great workout...i made max 32km in very easy run, slower than marathon pace....i also ran fartleks like this: 8x: 2km very easy + 2km marathon pace 32km total..... 3 week before marathon i start to minimize the training..... tapering.... have a gret marathon!! regards!

[@DiegoRuiz1991]

Modern amateur athletes remind me so much of the book/movie Fight Club - Very similar people doing very similar stuff... except for the terrorism so far: · Working at a stable boring job · With semi-obvious mental issues (temporary and/or semi-permanent) · Looking to prove themselves · Looking for pain even The main difference is that y'all think it's alright to do it in public, even publish whatever crap on every social media platform available, but you're no different than the sad souls of the work of fiction. Almost wish that most of y'all took up fighting instead of running/cycling/swimming/paddling for however many hours. Recently, I even saw a graph that confirmed me how pathetic amateur long-distance running has become. It was a graph with the results of like 5 years of the Boston Marathon, showing the distribution of runners by time of arrival. There were some abhorrent peaks at every goddamn "round" finishing time. Peak at 3h00', peak at 3h30', big peak at 4h00', peak at 4h30', etc. Almost no one is running trying their best, no one is giving it their all, no one is doing it for the personal challenge, y'all just want the minimum time that will let you show your friends and relative you're not chronic pathetic losers anymore but I know your secret. Either go all out or never try. If you're going for a 3h59', I only wish you a fantastic meniscus injury.

[@TedMeat]

Well that was an interesting comment! Let's reflect: - Don't really have a boring job. Although as an entrepreneur I think it would be kinda foolish to start running businesses that you find boring. - No mental issues that I know of. Although you CAN be psychotic and not aware. Haven't had any feedback that would point to that though. All in all I live a happy, balanced, but busy life. - I'm not looking to prove myself, I'm looking to improve myself. In whatever I do, including running. If I can no longer improve, I'll quit and do something else. - Not really looking for pain but I do like the euphory after the pain. I don't know if you actually watched the video or just misheard, but my goal is not 3:59, it's 3:15. Don't know if the number is too "round" or not but that should be on the limit what I'm currently capable of. I like to set goals where failure is an option. Obviously some people think 3:15 is great and some think it's rubbish. No matter what the time, that's how it always goes. Don't really care since I'm not really doing this for other people. I also know more than a few +4 hour marathoners and your analysis doesn't fit anyone. Mostly it's just something they do for fun and then move on to the next thing. Would never hope they get injured.

[@DiegoRuiz1991]

@@TedMeat - Don't have a set goal, go as hard as your body allows you to that day, that's what sports are meant to be 🤦🏻‍♂️ Entrepreneurship 100% qualifies as a "boring job" - I work for an industrial carpentry company and I have the chance to visit other places for deliveries and certain discussions. Only the office-dwellers follow this absurd trend, it's extremely rare for a guy that works with his hands to become a trailrunner, marathon runner, endurance cyclist and such. Y'all are so deep in this "Reverse Fight Club" that you can't see the light. None of y'all would do it if you couldn't post and boast about it, it's done just for narcissistic reasons.

[@TedMeat]

@@DiegoRuiz1991 Lol, of course I go as hard as I can that day, it's a race :D And obviously the goal is not fixed, it's just an estimation of my best and then I'll see if it was too optimistic or pessimistic. About "only the office-dwellers follow this absurd trend". I'm a farmer. I have a farmer friend who just did 2h54min. Your hit accuracy seems to be a bit off today :D I haven't posted anything anywhere of my 10 last races. This one I made to explain why there's no content on the channel. But even if the motivation would be narcissistic, who cares! It's better for society if people try get up to shape, no matter what the motivation behind it is 👍
