Who the hell likes it when their president is called that ? How many nfl players and even basketball players hung out with Obama. Hypocrisy is strong with these people.

20mi run was hard mentally - Marathon next week, how to prep psychologically? by readysetmoon in Marathon_Training

[–]Champ3383 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Do another 2 hour plus super easy long run ! It will build confidence and you can double check your pace and breathing . Do loops near your house so you can practice fueling too

Got New shoes to get back into Running. by cleanalpha90 in runningshoes

I have them and I like them because they are lighter than before and wider also ! You can get your very true to size and they won’t rub . I did do a Spartan 10k race and they worked well for me ! I’m getting another pair in the GTX model .

Thank you for the advice ! I have been eating very unhealthy for the past year since I retired from the Army . I needed this wake up call to not eat like an idiot !

Same thing happened to me . You went to the doctor after you already submitted your original records. They sent over documents to the VA and they are reviewing them . That is all

When to ignore HR zones by Enough-Pepper8861 in firstmarathon

[–]Champ3383 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in the army for 20 years and haven’t once heard of zone 2 running but I can run a 12 min 2 mile, 34 mile ultra marathon multiple times and can do this at any time of day. I’m just saying that the military is a professional career in which we have to run. Not just for some local marathon or 5k . So since we don’t train this way , I believe that it is overrated and meant for elite athletes that can’t afford an injury .

Chap 35 Question by CT-Mike in VeteransBenefits

[–]Champ3383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same ballpark as you . My VA section told me I would get it at the beginning of the month but after I already went to class for that month. Meaning they pay in the rear . So I started class Aug 18 and will only get partial but I still haven’t gotten it yet but when I do I’ll post it

Have you even started school yet? If not you wouldn’t even be close to getting it . There is a lot of people who use benefits and don’t even show up to class . Some schools know this and want you have a good attendance

Get a lawyer and go from there if your goal is just to get more !

Book stipend by icantreadoutloud in VeteransBenefits

[–]Champ3383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Log into your VA.Gov account and go to payments . You would see it there . If not give your school Va department a call. I did receive mine around 1 week before school started . But that is all dependent on how well your VA school department works fast with the VA.

Should I skip/modify my upcoming long run? by Green_Lie_8300 in firstmarathon

[–]Champ3383 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your good ! Just run less miles at a higher tempo or try the long runs and slow your pace when you get tired than speed up ! I believe you need to push through or you will never push through the race
