My legs quickly got sore. What gives?
  • Last time this happened to me it was because I didn’t eat enough beforehand.

    Usually I eat a decent lunch then go for my run a couple hours later - maybe eating a banana 15-30 min before. That day because there were thunderstorms forecasted I skipped lunch and just had a banana and a cliff bar before my run. Got tired pretty early on that day.

  • Two week taper. I’m not sure the elevation, but I ran 12 miles in the same area last year and the elevation gain was 1500 ft for that run according to Strava.

    As for back to back runs, all I can say for now is “we’ll see.” I’d like to get on that level. It also depends on how you define a long run. Could I run another 35k today? Absolutely not lol.

  • Running a 35km training run tomorrow in preparation for my first 50k! I struggled with a hamstring injury the first part of the year so I’m glad to be where I’m at now.

    Apple may ditch FineWoven cases, return to leather-like material
  • I got mine replaced due to the sides peeling as well (covered under warranty) and the replacement is now peeling after only a few months. Hopefully whatever is next is a little more durable - even the leather cases the last few years lacked in that area.

    In Leak, Facebook Partner Brags About Listening to Your Phone’s Microphone to Serve Ads for Stuff You Mention
  • Yea they can deny it all they want, but I’ve had similar happen to me countless times.

    Even better, last time I tried to buy something from one of their adds it turned out to be a scam. I reported the post (add) and they said they wouldn’t remove it because it didn’t break any policies. lol.

  • Training for a 50k in October. Got a 20k run tomorrow then an easy 7k Sunday. Next week is a deload week, which I’m ready for because things are a little sore.

    Seen someone mention “hip tuck” on here and been trying to figure out if that’s something I already do or not.

    I’ve also been wondering lately if it’s really necessary to size up my running shoes like I’ve always done. Is sizing up still a recommendation in general? All my running shoes are a half size bigger than my regular shoes.

    Also, pretty stoked to check out the new Open Run Pro 2’s that just came out.

  • Been back into running for about a year after a long hiatus. When I ran before it was just for cardio but I did a half marathon back in the day.

    Now I’m more focused on form, different types of runs, etc. and things are going great.

    I’m using a training plan my physical therapist gave me for my race that’s coming up soon. I was wondering, what do I do after the race? When are the easy runs? When are the tempo runs? When should I do speed work? When are the long runs?

    I like distance running (I’m here for the ultra trail stuff) and want to maintain in between races.

    VO2 max go brrrrr
  • These are the gains of going from inactive and not running to running on a regular basis. I saw the same spike when I started running again last year after a ten year hiatus.

    New AirPods are finally coming, and could borrow a huge Pro feature
  • No, I returned the regular ones and got AirPod pros, using the regular size tips that come with them and they’re fine for the most part.

  • This must be to keep people playing the slot machines or whatever the fuck they are. I swear people already spend hours in there - it’s kinda sad, but if they’re enjoying themselves, cool.

    Why Schools Are Racing to Ban Student Phones
  • Ha! Funny.

    I made this 5 second comment just before bed, so it wasn’t so much being lazy, but not having time to click on anything else before calling it a night.

    And it worked out because someone else was kind enough to give me a TL;DR and I got to bed on time.

  • Your body doesn’t heal itself. Cuts need stitches that must be permanent. Bones need to be screwed together even if just cracked. How you doing?
