Why I like running?

People who know me, know very well that I like cycling. It started a good few years ago and continues to this day. However, one must admit openly that this love has evolved all the time and has changed dramatically. I started with small trips around my hometown, and during the peak period, I went on a full-day trip of over 300 km. For a long time, the bike is not my only hobby. It is also running, which I take more and more time and I want to take more time in the future. Where does it come from and why I liked running so much? This post is about it.

Elite Suito trainer review

I’ve used bike trainer for few years and think, that is great idea, especially in winter. I really don’t like riding in cold, wear a lot of clothes, using lights etc. With trainer, I could just make good training: with many apps for that, in good conditions and without any dangerous like too fast cars on roads. I don’t use trainer now and don’t plan to use it anymore but will write about that on next post. This one is about Elite Suite – my latest, very nice trainer. It’s just quick review, I’m not professional, but probably it can help someone choose good stuff to train in home.

Continental Terra Speed 700x35c review

Compared to two, three years ago, we have a lot of good tires for gravel in the market now. The problem is choice: we don’t know, what should we choice. Are newer tires better than older, like reviewed Gravelkings SK? There is only one way to check it: buy, ride and test. I’m still looking for best tires for my usage: a lot of tarmac, but often very bad quality, some gravel, preferably dry conditions because I don’t like mess. Last time I decided to try something other than Gravelkings AC/Mud, something probably faster. After reading a lot of reviews, a lot of comments, chose Continental Terra Speed in size 700x35c.

Docker volumes: cached vs delegated

Docker is amazing tool and can make developer work simpler, faster and more efficient. It has a lot of advantages and I have been using it very actively for some time. Unfortunately, I use it on Mac, and it has some big drawbacks. From my perspective, the biggest is performance. Docker for Mac and Docker of Windows uses small virtual machine in the middle, between your host and your containers. It’s ok and necessary, but always causes some performance degradation, especially on networking and any I/O operations. This post is about volumes cachings methods – we can use them to speed up Docker in any platform and should be used, if we can do this.

Why I get up early

As I wrote in many posts before, I work remotely. It has a lot of benefits and I will write about them (and also about drawbacks) in one of future posts. One of these advantages is fact, that I don’t have to get up early, preparing and go to work. It’s true but… I still get up early, very early according to many people who know me. What time do I do this, why I do this, and why should you try this even if you work remotely? This post is about these things. Probably many people will prefer getting up later, but I think, it’s bad idea.
