@quilteryoyo If I run tomorrow, it won't be there. No point in driving down for that. I'll probably stay home and do some more online education. I've got some things I want to learn for work.

Just want to point out that type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes are entirely different diseases. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease and type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder, so they are not even in the same category. They also have different pathways. The thing they have in common is the word "diabetes," but very…

It isn't happening. Just got an email from the RD, who had a phone call from the US Forest Service, and it is going to have to be postponed. The trails are open for all of us to run if we want, they just are not going to allow it to be an official event.

My specific cause of issues isn't actually something that loperamide / imodium can help, unfortunately. And I don't eat plants, but you know I am supplementing electrolytes as always. I will make it work.

I am signed up for a 25K trail race tomorrow in MS. But yesterday, started having stomach issues that ended up ruining my run. Similar to what I have had before, but more severe. Anyway, I ate lunch yesterday and was contemplating whether I eat today at all. I decided it can't be much worse than what I am experiencing, so…

If they put sanitizer or TP in them these days, it will probably get stolen before anyone can use it.

I ran in the rain tonight. Again, trying to follow the first week of the 4:00 marathon training plan and again failing to be able to keep target pace. I may have to change my target and figure 4:00 is not achievable. I knew it was aggressive, but people my age who are new runners seem to do 4:00 or faster easily all the…

Yes, I would continue working at home if possible. But if this ends up being permanent, I would setup a better space for it. A different desk, chair, screens, etc. setup. As long as it keeps getting extended, but is said to be "temporary," it isn't worthwhile to do that.

If you don't eat plants, you can get pretty close to zero carbs. I get 0g some days and other days. I do log supplements that I take and there are some with carbs (not sure why on one of them as it's a capsule and not a chew-able that needs flavor). So I get a few grams of carbs from that. Also, from electrolytes that I…

Even here in the "Bible Belt" (Tennessee), the executive order (expired Apr. 30) listed this as an exemption: As you can see, no specific religion was named despite that protestant Christians are in the majority here. If there is some state that specifies one religion that is exempted while others are not, I am unaware of…

I don't know how to do that on the watch, but after loading to Garmin Connect, I know I can edit on the app or website. It's already been sent to Strava by then, though.

Interesting take on how the pandemic ends... the author notes there is a difference between the medical pandemic and the societal / fear pandemic. Their ends are likely not the same: How Pandemics End https://nyti.ms/3fCdRJ1

@mbrose This thread is a decade old, so it's a "zombie thread." Having said that, the advice to use a fitness tracker with HRM is still relevant today. In fact, I know Garmin has some trackers that are made specifically for golfers. Either way, if you are trying to lose weight, be cautious about eating all of the exercise…

Yes, but while it hovers day-to-day as one of the top few causes of death now, it may be successful in reaching #1 and staying #1 if people keep ignoring reasonable precautions like face coverings, social distancing, and frequent hand washing.

Went out to the woods today to take my new Hoka Challengers for a spin. They got plenty muddy and I got a slow 9.21 miles in on some fun technical trails.

This news article has an interesting graphic to show Covid-19 daily deaths compared to other leading causes of death. https://www.ketv.com/article/coronavirus-leading-causes-of-death-in-the-united-states/32380058?fbclid=IwAR0e55H7_PtwjICSDBgP8kIkVB0FmHF8AtAOTnxLNIi6DX761rHWe2KNJK4#

Agreed... makes it tough.

@hanlonsk Garmin uses 5/4 rounding and Strava rounds down. You ran somehere between 2.225 and 2.229 miles.

Today, I ran 2.23 dedication for a runner who was killed doing what so many of us take for granted. #IRunWithMaud Then I ran an additional 0.23 miles to get home.

@TheMrWobbly @mbaker566 Ok, fair enough. The targeted pace is for the first week of a 16 week plan (i.e. week 16) to run a 4:00 marathon. Mind you, this is an agressive improvement over my current PR of 4:38 (everything happened perfectly to even do that as I am normally around 5 hrs). I was able to do the same run last…

I am just baffled because I have yet to hear about any way to look at the data that would match the decisions made.

6.05 miles tonight. Was supposed to be 2 miles warm-up, 2 miles at 8:13, 2 miles cool down. But I'm very slow and ended up being an average of 9:01 for those 2 miles. Just like the other run for week 16 of this training plan, I'll try to redo the week a 3rd time next week and hopefully can hit it. If I re-do the week…

The reason I ask is because I had heard some pretty specific criteria regarding the number of cases increasing in each county on a rolling 14-day period. But that didn't explain a lot of counties that were opened, including Portawattamie. And it doesn't fit for some counties that were opened originally, but should now be…

Do you know the criterion used to decide which counties to open or not?

2.56 miles to the park for some drills and back tonight.

@Janejellyroll Definitely applies to food also. I admit I have broken that rule and paid dearly. Example: Tupelo Marathon last year, I normally would not eat past lunch the day before. I got super hungry and had pork rinds in the afternoon. I lost so much time in portajohns and walking because I felt so bad between the…

As someone who lives in your state, on the same side of the state, and in a rural area that is very different culturally than your area; I believe things are very different here. There seems to be a whole lot of hoarding, but yet very little concern about actually getting sick. Maybe 5% of people I see in stores are…

I'm following a couple different training plans right now. One of them is mobility exercises and specific strength training and I'm in the 4th week. The other is a 4:00 marathon plan lasting 16 weeks (current PR is 4:38, so this is an aggressive improvement, but people older and heavier than me do sub-4 for a 1st marathon…

Adding in last night's run with some specific drills mixed in the middle. Basically what I've been doing with these drills 3 times/week is run to the park to warmup, pause Garmin, do some mobility exercises and then some super specific speed drills, then restart and do a cool-down run home. I was able to catch a break in…

Here is the research paper... maybe this becomes the vaccine? https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-16256-y
