I’ve never crushed on anyone but lately it’s @melg7777 and deserves all the accolades. She done did the d@mn thing. ….and I retreats

Can you check to make sure these are accurate?!

Always racks their weights. Can discuss Kant, Schrödinger’s cat, and Gertrude Stein. Backwards hat. Cause I’m basic.

Team no real rest day here. This is also the first year I’ve been injured while marathon training though. Maybe age =need for rest day? I do hate a rest day. Makes me anxious. That said, I have an active recovery day (Pilates and elliptical, not running/cycling/heavy-ish lifting) once per week.

Super great advice. Hal Higdon is great. Jeff Galloway also does a run walk method that’s popular. In terms of hydration, yes stay hydrated but also keep in mind electrolytes in summer. Nuun is great to mix with water. Protein is important for recovery. And please don’t listen to anyone who tells you to run faster. It sets…

Didnt Musk recently call it a hustle?

I Was going to share my current stuff and realized...interwebs are scary. That said, I just listened to a Radiolab while running that covered the creation of Zcoin. I still don’t understand decentralization but I love the idea of disruption. It’s also such a weird game in terms of human trust and how/why we trust a paper…

Following* I’m into anything low risk right now. For me, that means more mutual fund than anything else- which is kind of a mixed bag. I get nervous about the higher risk stuff especially since I’m sort of looking long term- retirement et al. What about crypto? I never got on that train and I’m regretting it. However, I…

Slow hr training is a thing. I do it and it totally works. There are a lot of resources out there. I like runtothefinish.com a lot

Thanks everyone. I’m thinking of hiring a trainer to help me get over the intimidation factor. Good point about thinking about my running programming first. I usually run 5 days a week but May have to cut to 4. I also have to play with my speed day and long run day (which will probably cap at 8 miles considering 10k may be…

⬆️ I’m totally a lurker but this made me incredibly happy. So right now I’m sending them good vibes back into the atmosphere.

I see everyone running this morning and yesterday, like @scott6255 and @marisap2010 and @kgirlhart and all I can think is ouchhhhh. How much time do y’all take off after a race? I feel pretty stagnant but I’m trying to avoid injury as I have a half marathon at the end of May.
-
@Teresa502 bleachers for 2 miles is some serious dedication. Yikes @scott6255 great under2! That’s my goal. Under 2 before 38. @WhatMeRunning yeah. It’s funny how our brains work. I keep thinking to yesterday “what if it were a more usual race with fuel stations and bathrooms? What if I hadn’t had to spot to fill a water…

@katharmonic great job today! You killed it! 13.1 is always a kicker. @pfeiferlindsey way to kick that 5k! That’s a weird race cause right when you get into a good stride, you’re done! I’m so bad a pacing those. I had my first in person half today too. The first 3 miles were a lovely tail wind. 4-10 was an insane headwind.…

Haha thanks! I surely miss hitting a 19 mile run and just complaining the whole way with people, questioning our life choices, and then doing it all again.

Hi all. Mid month I know. I need to get my mojo back. I have my first in person half marathon since 2019 this weekend. I won’t PR I’m sure. A goal is 2:10 B goal is 2:15 c goal is finish. I’d like to get back to marathon shape. I just couldn’t train during the pandemic; I need my run crew 😞 18 miles was just too much for…

Sometimes a paradigm shift: You dont have to work out; you GET to work out. It sounds silly but the concept of “working out” is a luxury. You get to do that. And that is awesome. Also, no one ever regrets a quick walk. No one. In the history of ever.

This sounds like low blood pressure. Also, despite our best intentions to help, sounds like a discussion With your doctor is needed. My dizziness, low heart rate and low bp caused my gp to ask for an EKG which showed lowish QT. Basically just takes my heart too long to beat. However, when the cardiologist saw me and we did…
-
It sounds like you’re pat the time but also let’s clarify stretching- dynamic stretching is probably a good idea- static stretching cold muscles is not a great plan. (Like kalv said). And don’t neglect the cool down (she said after knowing very well she neglects every cool down haha). Also adequately hydrate before and…

Sometimes I just like to come in here and ogle all your pretty ol’ faces. Jesus tits it’s hot in here. All of yaz...objectified. I objectify ya. Mostly Mel and K but the rest too.

Unless you are burning more than you are ingesting you won’t lose weight- cico. That said, some curves are naturally made of fat and will shrink. There is no running body type. The only “runners body type” is a body that is running. The only negative outcome is the addiction to races.

Run schedule: Sunday- long, low hr and slow- 8-22 miles depending on race (but around 8-10 for maintenance) Monday- rest Tuesday- speed/intervals (4-5 miles) I usually do lift on speed days Wednesday- recovery run (3-5 low and slow) Thursday- threshold/ pacing run (3-8) Friday-mixed bag or rest (plyo, kettlebells...)…

I have a half marathon in March that I’m not planning to PR but might cause it’s flat and fast. I have another in May that I would like to put some real effort into. I do want to get back into marathon shape. I’m definitely a middle of the pack runner- Boston won’t be in my future til maybe 70 years old ha. That said, I…

I hate Hokas too. They’re like running on mattresses. Thanks!

I have always run with a gaiter outside in the cold, so I’m used to that. Indoors with a mask takes getting used to. I really like Athleta brand. It’s not fun but I’ll do it because I care about not getting anyone sick and hope to avoid getting sick myself. It’s an annoyance but it’s better than accidentally killing…

What in the... what year is this!? ...I don’t post much but when I do it’s cause I’m flabbergasted. So imma go with my weakness is anyone who appreciates a flabbergast...also beards cause it’s December 72nd 2020z
-
Congrats on your first first half!!! So exciting!!
-
I need all the motivation. I love long distance but anything beyond 15 miles and I need a running crew to complain with. I have this block that hits at 10 miles right now. I’m signed up for a marathon in March but will ha e to downgrade to a half I’m sure...if it’s even live. I’m done with non-live races. I miss crowds and…
