First, that looks delicious- I would suggest Nuun or Tailwind. Nuun has no sweeteners- purely hydration and electrolytes. And, honestly, whole food supplementation may be the best way so you can have the final say of macro counts. Sweet potato with cinnamon and honey would be good. Slow burning carb with a fast burning…

I need more info: are you on an insulin regimen? Do you crash after long exertion? Are you counting carbs? Is there an A1c issue? Comorbidities? (Like is potassium an issue...) Anything is diabetic friendly; it just depends on your specific needs. Also, what kind of work out are you doing? If it isn’t exceeding 30…

Battle born - the killers

Rad reflection but also digging that track. Makes me miss team practices.

This looks the record cover of a beautiful 1970s album. 😍

I was doing it. I’m not now. Maybe that means I should be? But but but... I watch what I eat. I work out. A little booze is my only vice left. And I been locked down for four zillion years. I need SOMETHING. But I am in awe of anyone who can.

This might be gospel.

Happy New Year. Been a while since I posted a hello. So....uhhhh....yeahhh...hello. Ready to do good *kitten* this year. Like real good *kitten*.

I run. Quite a bit. Covid knocked me a for loop cause I love races. Completed a bunch of half marathons, one full marathon and another sorts marathon- same distance but it was a “run1 mile every 15 minutes until you can’t run anymore. I did about 26 miles but had to stop cause I had dinner plans. I have a marathon on the…

You are definitely not too heavy to run. Our stats are very similar and I’m an endurance runner too :) Start slow. Give your body time to adjust. Start. SLOW. 5 minute run, 2-3 minute walk, repeat. Don’t run everyday. Then, change the intervals (6 run/2 walk, etc.) especially important, run for time, not miles, until you…

So life goal is to be an old runner lady on the Appalachian trail and Maybe just outrun age a bit. From last birthday to this, I’ve run 1,051 miles. Lifted a shitton of heavy things. Looking good y’all.

I should learn how to forum better. Internets are hard.

I would definitely include some weight training as part of your cross training. When I started running, I did Body Pump (les mills) to get started. Also I have found yoga has helped my running immensely and tell any of my friends who begin running to try to incorporate it. I also think the stairclimber helped with glute…

I am “a runner” who also lifts. However I do enjoy functional style lifting g over standard reps and sets. Given this, and I am only a case study of 1, I can run and not burn muscle. In fact, I’m so quad dominant that I have to really focus on hamstring and glute building in order to avoid injury. In addition, I lift to…

I only see it on my watch.

I find it so interesting to see where people are from...Bulgaria!? So cool. DC represent... (and hey Chris!^^) !

I’m a runner! Come hang.

I am not a night time snacked but I am a 4pm-holy-hell-gimme-gimme snacked. I’m really into salty anything so I have found celery with a bit of whipped cream cheese and Everything Bagel seasoning is really good. A lot of satisfying crunch, salt and creaminess -hits all of my reqs. At night, I really try hard to not snack.…

For a half, I eat at mile 9. I do find that hydration helps- Gatorade or nuun. For full marathons, I bring peanut m&ms. For a half, I do a gu at mile 7 or 8 depending on fatigue and such....that’s because I don’t include the one minute walk break. I always eat oatmeal with cocoa, peanut butter and honey before a long run.…

This is the kind of answer I was looking for. I know Pinterest exists but I hate surfing for random stuff. Just did some random root veggies and I want to marry the machine now.

I’m not sure. I’m going to have analyze it. I do know that including more thoughtful, breath focused yoga practiced has enhanced my running 10 fold. Probably due to breathing. It’s funny cause I was a swimmer before a runner and our goal was always for reduce coming up for air (for free style which was my strong stroke).

Take pictures and make a digital archive? I don’t keep bibs. I keep T-shirts, gear, tech, and medals

No matter how hard I try, my mustache will never be this legit.

Track work: 8:10ish? With hills and elevation: 5 miles and below around 9:05 Half marathon mile: depending on elevation anywhere between 9:25-9:55 Full marathon: 10:30 (goal is 9:55) Just keep doing what you’re doing. Race against yourself ;)

I do yoga for other reasons beyond flexibility. I find that it helps with my lung capacity for running. I also do it cause I have terribly tight hamstrings and hip flexors from running. I also think it helps me be mindful of my posture. I do count it as a rest day activity though. Is ski do really love some poses- all the…

I love books and running and running books. Wins all around.

1. I’m terribly bored cause end of times... 2. I ran my first full marathon this year after many years of half marathons and am addicted... with all races canceled, what’s there to do? 3. I love food, food culture, food everything. Cooking for a crowd is my happy place. 4. I live to make people laugh and spread *kitten*…

I just started the whole home workout thing too. However, I run generally speaking and lifted at a gym. Now, I'm lifting and HIITing at home. I don't love it. I need the peer pressure of those around me to kind of pull me through. Anyway, lots of burpees, higher volume/lower weights, and HIIT stuff. I've also added in more…
