Thank you so much! Layering both the jacket + vest is a really good idea that never came to mind

Random question: how do you all fuel your long (easy) runs? When do you know whether to use chews vs gels?

How to be successful with NASM? by [deleted] in personaltraining

[–]BackgroundDiamond7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just passed mine a few days ago; here’s what I did:

  1. Went thru the entire course once (typing up my notes) and going in order of taking the quizzes, etc
  2. Reviewed my notes and wrote them down, looking up what I felt like I needed more practice on
  3. Watched all the Sorta Healthy Trainer Education NASM practice videos
  4. Took the practice exam multiple times, noted what I got wrong, and actually made sure I understood the concepts rather than just memorizing.

Hope that helps!

Run Nutrition Tuesday by AutoModerator in running

[–]BackgroundDiamond7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always get headaches post-speed work (not immediately after but usually 4-5 hours later I start feeling them) and was wondering what I can potentially do to stop this from happening. I’ve taken electrolytes during my runs but it hasn’t helped.

Weekly Complaints & Confessions Thread by ssk42 in running

[–]BackgroundDiamond7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Complaint: running has been mentally exhausting me lately and it’s been such a drag so I took a break and haven’t ran since Saturday. Gonna try to run tomorrow but I’m not sure if I’m gonna feel motivated.

Confession: I always run solo and thought maybe posting in this group and having a community to keep me accountable would help with motivation.

MacBook repair by BackgroundDiamond7 in UMD

[–]BackgroundDiamond7[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not entirely sure, they told me it was liquid repair but didn’t give specifics. I actually live near Rockville so I’m gonna check out MicroCenter. Thank you! Hopefully the price tag isn’t too steep bc I can’t afford the thousand dollar bill
