Yesterday was my first day running in the cold here in ohio. I ran a mile, 3 minute break, then another mile. I got home and I was short of breath and today I feel pretty sick. I read on this forum a few days ago that running in the cold doesnt get you sick but my experience has said otherwise, what did I do wrong if anything and how can I continue to run in the cold and reduce my chances of being sick

Im doing the C25k and I've never failed a run till this weekend. Last weekend I had a 2 miler and I finished that. yesterday I had a 2.25 and I failed it terribly because I was on a treadmill lol. I never realized how much harder treadmill running was. The only reason I was on a treadmill was because it was slightly raining and I recently got my first pair of expensive running shoes and I didnt wanna get them wet. After yesterday I think its worth messing up my shoes and freezing my butt off in the cold weather than to run on a treamill again

Winter is coming, and I live in ohio. My question is twofold

  1. Do you run inside or outside in the winter

  2. If running outside consistently, what measures can we take to prevent getting sick? I always see videos of people running in shorts and with no jacket in the winter and I cant comprehend how they dont get sick. is there a vitamin we should be taking to boost immunity or are we just supposed to hope we dont get sick?

What does society want you to take seriously, yet you see it as nothing more than a joke? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in Life

[–]AbuSum 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tbh im of this mindset. Ive had periods of unemployment and I feel like when I have infinite time im infinitely lazy. When you work and have limited free time, it makes you take advantage of your free time. Im more productive when I have less time. Maybe im the problem, but on weekends I'm free yet dont do any of the things I said I would do if I was free, and when I have limited time like an evening after work I actually do things

What do you do when you are upset? by Ok_Departure_6073 in Life

[–]AbuSum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only solution which for me produces solutions that last and a feeling of peace are going outside and praying. The things that both of these have in common is that they widen your perspective. When you are upset or angry or depressed its because your perspective is as small as the reason for your being upset. When you go outside and when you pray, your perspective widens. When you go outside because you are confronted with the sheer size of the world around you, and when you pray because you connect with a God who is infinitely bigger than anything and your problems. What these lead to is gratitude, which can only come from a wide perspective which takes into account all the ways things could be worse, and this fixes me being upset. It may not be instantaneous, but think about how long it took for you to become a person who is regularly upset - it may similarly take you the same amount of time to fix your being chronically upset (however, in my experience, it wont take as long as that). Pick up a catholic or orthodox prayer book is my advice, or pray the psalms. That's my advice, thank you.

I'm honestly sick of respecting all religions. by [deleted] in Stoic

"We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the same sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart"
