#Running Twitter

Pretentiously complex to read that I need a 'layering strategy' for winter running

Don't understand why running outfitters don't make heavier jackets.Even my Craft jackets - despite that whole 'we're Nordic runners' schtick - are too thin

These are shells,

/1
not jackets, so underlayers are doing the actual warming.

Some people might like plating up baselayer for 10 minutes in the morning,but how about an actual jacket for the rest of us? One that doesn't require so much more fabric beneath? And one where you can run in seriously

/2
cold weather (0+ degrees F) if you do couple it with baselayer?

I figure Californians must make these 'cold weather' jackets, bc 35-40 degrees isn't cold, you wimps. 5 degrees is cold, but it's surprisingly hard to find running clothiers (as opposed to hiking outlets) which

/3
make cold, rather than cool, weather gear. Last year, I had to return a bunch of UA 'cold gear,' bc it's only for cold weather in Miami or something.

The best cold weather jacket I have, curiously enough, is from 2XU.

If T Regan can be banished, they can too. The post-T right desperately needs better,less hackish voices

Who would you add? I’m sure I missed some MAGA greats in there.

#Running Twitter,

Suggestions, please, for winter running base layer

Preferably heavy for serious cold, and snug, second-skin fit

Thank you
Please provide SPECIFIC links/product names.

Should be:

1. Heavy

(I run at 5 am, so it’s quite cold in the winter)

2. Designed for running

(I run 60+ miles a week, so I’m looking for specialized product)

3. Top & Bottom set

4. Form-fitting

(Winter r clothes sd be tight)
I have Mizuno’s Breathe Thermo baselayer set. It’s warm but too loose

It’s ridiculous how expensive running is as a hobby. I had no idea when I started
My stuff:

- 5 shoes
- lots of compression & base layer
- lots of shorts & singlets
- lots of running socks
- Apple Watch
- bone conduction headphones
- Oaklies
- creams/gels/pre
- assorted gloves, headbands, winter hats

And I’m still slow. Pretty absurd
Many of the comments suggest this a lot. It's not actually. Most of the serious runners I know have gear like this and even more, like heart straps or recovery boots. I am only semi-serious at 50+ miles/week.

Multiple pairs of shoes for different purposes (racing, weatherized...

2 Korean security conferences in 2 days:

Yesterday with doves (Catholic progressives), today with hawks (a think-tank aligned with the defense ministry).

Fascinating contrast of interpretations of North Korea: we can work w/ these fellow Koreans vs. they are the opponent

/1
A lot emphasis today on North Korean nuclear weapons, asymmetric warfare, and trilateralism (Korea-Japan-US).

@duyeonkim was on my panel and made the good observation that S Korea and US need a joint strategy on NK ‘grey-zone tactics.’ I like that term for its oblique ops.

/2
My talk was that N Korea had a unique opportunity in two, overlapping dovish presidencies in the US and South Korea. Both Trump and Moon really wanted a deal. It was a unique constellation, a great chance for PY to push for a good deal.But they blew it by not offering enough

Speaking at the Catholic Institute of Northeast Asian Peace on Korean security today.

Flyer is below.

Conference is streaming live on YouTube now:

I’ll post from this event, including my presentation’s argument, in this thread as we go.

1/
The bishop of this diocese just referred to the Church in North Korea as the ‘Church in Silence.’ Interesting term; never heard that before.

Also, there is one Catholic church in NK. But no priests, so no mass.

/2
When I was in Catholic school in the 80s, the nuns told us that the Soviet Union was tying to destroy the Church

Catholic opinion in South Korea is divided over N Korea in a way American Catholicism never was over communism during the Cold War. This event is very progressive

THIS. I can't emphasize this enough to people back home as an American living outside the US.

The GOP is supposed to be the party of national security, American power, & 'city on a hill' American exceptionalism, but Trump threatens the foundations of all of that: his disdain /1
for our allies pushes away our friends (T hates CANADA for chrissakes); his protectionism undercuts the pooled economic power of the US alliance network against China and Russia; his creepy admiration for dictators worries exposed allies like Taiwan, S Korea, the Baltics; his /2
rejection of science undercuts our technological edge; 'America First' sends a message of raw selfishness encouraging our traditional partners to do the same, striking their own deals with Russia, Iran, China;his disdain for international organizations undercuts our ability to /3
