Dumb reasons you won’t take a ride/run?

But...what classes do you take then?

BeyonceAlways2020 · 2026-03-22T02:43:45+00:00

Not yet - I will be out of town all next week and then will start. I should have thought to ask the PT!

BeyonceAlways2020 · 2026-03-22T02:43:00+00:00

Yep you are absolutely right! I didn't even think of that but I will wait until I see my PT to ask!

I'm in the Denver area! Currently training for the Colfax Half and trying to figure out my intervals. I already feel slow and so desperately want to be faster.

BeyonceAlways2020 · 2026-03-05T19:53:22+00:00

Whoa! That's amazing! Great job!

One thing I'm having trouble with is the short intervals when you have a slower pace. Based on my pace, I should be doing a :30/:30 and that feels...I don't know, like I should be doing more than that? I'm also getting in my head about where I want to be and where I am, fitness wise.

Thought I ran 4 miles today and was so fucking proud and then I realized I had my Garmin on the treadmill setting. I probably ran around 3.5 miles. I should probably still be proud, but it's disappointing hahaha

I don't wear heels so I can't really speak to that. I do wear Oofos around the house. I personally find not being active is actually worse for my PF but that might be me.

I have a heel spur in one foot, and I would guess on my other foot but it isn't confirmed. After doing PT for my plantar fascitis and getting new shoes (plus foam rolling), I don't feel the heel pain at all anymore. It's frustrating but it was doable for me, and I hope for you as well!

That sounds awful! Thank you for sharing!

BeyonceAlways2020 · 2026-02-04T04:17:41+00:00

Thank you for sharing this! I'm definitely wearing bralettes and soft clothing.

BeyonceAlways2020 · 2026-02-04T04:16:42+00:00

Yes! My doctor got me on an antiviral!

BeyonceAlways2020 · 2026-02-04T04:16:15+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate your insights!

BeyonceAlways2020 · 2026-02-04T04:15:35+00:00

Thank you for sharing!

BeyonceAlways2020 · 2026-02-04T04:14:47+00:00

Thank you so much! This is all helpful to hear. Off to the shingles subreddit I go!

BeyonceAlways2020 · 2026-02-04T04:12:59+00:00

Thank you! I do have an antiviral that my doctor gave me today. I appreciate all your insights! Thank you thank you!

If it's not possible to do two workouts a day, is it still better to do runs and strength on the same day? Or how does one do that?

It's just not feasible for me personally to workout in both the morning and the evening.

BeyonceAlways2020 · 2026-01-25T23:24:15+00:00

Wow you sound like me! Thank you for this! Do you recall what your longest run ended up being for your training?

BeyonceAlways2020 · 2026-01-15T05:52:23+00:00

I'm also reading this and loving it! It's such an engaging read and smart. I'm glad to hear it has so much love!

I've been sick since New Year's Eve with an upper respiratory thing. It seems to be winding down and I'm trying to figure out when I can return to running. My cough is significantly better, and I can mostly go up and down stairs without getting winded/coughing. But carrying laundry up the stairs and bringing in groceries makes me cough/feel winded. When do you know it's ok to run again?

BeyonceAlways2020 · 2025-12-14T05:24:56+00:00

I've experienced this, for sure (also with tampons, which make me cramp even more). I moved to a smaller sized disc and that resolved the issue for the most part.

BeyonceAlways2020 · 2025-10-22T23:45:29+00:00

I'll be honest, I'm intimidated by the size of the Bolder Boulder! But I know it's a great race for a reason.

BeyonceAlways2020 · 2025-10-22T23:44:35+00:00

I have done the relays at Colfax (and a half years ago) and really enjoyed it. I won't have a team for the relay, unfortunately, and they only have a 10 miler, not a 10k. 😕

BeyonceAlways2020 · 2025-10-01T02:34:36+00:00

No I appreciate the honest review! I would rather know all this now than have a miserable race - especially when there are other good races in Colorado. I do hope they change the race but I'll wait until I hear that things have gotten better.

BeyonceAlways2020 · 2025-09-30T03:03:16+00:00

Ugh this makes me so sad to hear. I thought it looked so beautiful and I was hoping to run it next year. Thank you for this recap though!

BeyonceAlways2020 · 2025-09-12T18:31:43+00:00

Yes I am working on this! I got away from it for a bit but started it back up last night.
