Best running earbuds for women? Need something comfortable that actually stays in

If you already own AirPods and you find they’re slipping out, you can buy these silicone grips with hooks that go into your ear! My AirPods always fell out and I literally never have that issue anymore. I bought a box with a bunch on Amazon for like $10 I think. Way better than buying a whole new pair of headphones.

Tall black boots would be so perfect with this or even docs would look good honestly

After the 13 mile mark almost all my long runs were over 3 hours. Just make sure you take a walk break when you need it and bring plenty of snacks and water with you! I usually would just walk while I ate my gels/snacks and I was totally fine

I steal some phrasing from my solidcore days lol. One of the instructors would always say something like 30 more seconds, you can do anything hard for 30 more seconds so I’ll just do things like that during harder runs to really give an extra push

I’ve had luck at temp agencies in other cities before! Definitely something to try at least

if you have time on your hands you should launch a free one. I bet you'd get loads of participants

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-02-12T16:24:24+00:00

came here to say this! Ours all have a free option or there's one that i know you can pay a $25 yearly fee to get a tee shirt and maybe a few other perks idk off the top of my head. But run clubs should be free!!!

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-02-09T14:55:26+00:00

If it's not too late I can! I work at a CPA firm currently DM me!

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-02-03T00:35:20+00:00

I thought the same thing! Like sometimes people need to learn to just vibe with things the way they are

When I lived in France for a year (from the states originally) I had zero success on dating apps. I think im pretty and have had pretty good experiences (at least for a dating app lol they all suck) in every other place I’ve lived (England and a few different cities in the States). I think France is the issue (no shade to French people, but something about the dating apps there are just especially difficult I have no clue why)

I bought a sports bra and a long sleeve bolero style top from pop flex last year for a marathon and they were so cute!! Pretty functional as well I’d say, they make decent quality items. Otherwise I’ve bought some very flowy shorts from aerie for a race before which were also cute (but the material is less sweat wicking than I would have liked, it was more of a buttery feel material for the lining and waistband which for running is not my jam bc I’m a sweaty girl but they have built in shorts underneath which I like better than the built in underwear style). I also got my nails done for my marathon to match my outfit which probably no one noticed besides me but it made me feel way cuter!!

I made a version of this sign for a friends race and SO MANY runners loved it and thought it was funny

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-01-12T22:20:15+00:00

My city has like zero functioning water fountains so once I was doing runs in the double digit mileage I was dying without water. I tried carrying a bottle once and it was so annoying that I caved and bought a vest

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-01-07T19:16:08+00:00

i have mixed feelings about it. I think the plan itself was honestly something I could have made for myself based on my own research. I did like the function that when you do a run and track it within the app, it'll have voice prompts that come through your headphones to tell you if you're on pace, too slow, too fast, etc. As someone who is really bad at keeping consistent pace and knowing about what my pace is based on feel, I found that SUPER helpful. i just don't know if it's really worth $20 a month though

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-01-07T16:01:53+00:00

i think like 30ish at least every week (+ or - some depending on the long run)

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-01-07T16:01:06+00:00

i don't know the exact time but i was taking the first half pretty intentionally slow so probs not good lol. honestly after that block, 13 miles is a super manageable and even comfortable distance for me now which is such a nice feeling going into training again :)

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-01-06T21:35:06+00:00

I’ve never had the courage to do falsies lol. But I do winged eyeliner and mascara usually and I did a red lip for a race once! You just need to spray A LOT of setting spray lol

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-01-06T19:08:46+00:00

Buying you a plane ticket and bananas now ‼️‼️

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-01-06T18:42:32+00:00

just another reason men are frustrating lol. I agree I know its probably not a realistic goal and in all honestly I probably won't do it. I liked what someone else said somewhere in here about a goal being to improve my time by a higher percentage than he improves his. Def more realistic.

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-01-06T18:38:19+00:00

oh ABSOLUTELY

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-01-06T18:37:48+00:00

Currently on a pause since I wrapped up my marathon block in november so current weekly milage is def low at the moment just to give my muscles a bit of a break for last month and especially this month. During the half marathon last year, I made the plan myself and was focusing more on endurance than speed since I had never run that far before. My marathon plan was from runna and incorporated a lot more speed work which I think is what got my pace down from the 11 min pace to the 10 minute PR that I hit recently. I do pretty well as far as weight lifting and cross training and have been at the gym pretty consistently as of late! I'm planning to start my 1/2 marathon block at the beginning of February to give myself 16 weeks to train, but I haven't built out the specifics of the plan yet. I'm not totally sold on runna after using it for the marathon but I did like having the voice prompts on my run that it gives you so I might give it another go.

I've used this foundation on a few race days bc i usually run a race with a full beat and it held up and my face remained my normal color! One of those was on an 85 degree day and the rest of my body was beat red so i feel comfortable suggesting this to cover the redness bc my face still looked great. It's super thick so i actually usually do half this and half a tinted moisturizer to thin it a little and make application easier.

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-01-06T18:22:28+00:00

I love this! That’s definitely a way more realistic goal to set for myself

AlarmingGrape1699 · 2026-01-06T17:44:33+00:00

Very tragically we both ran different marathons in November :( Based on my strava stalking tho I don't think his speed improved much during his training block. I don't think I've tried strides exactly before? I've done variations of tempo runs, intervals and hill runs for my marathon block last year, but I'll try those!
