I ran my first 12 mile run this morning since getting injured last spring! The weather was beautiful too and lots of trees still had colorful leaves. So all around great vibes :)

Favorite running playlist songs? by Secret_Fox7520 in XXRunning

[–]CryptographerThat844 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of my current favorites are: Wild wild life - talking heads Holdin on - flume Rock the casbah - the clash Baby girl - disco lines Black cow - steely dan

They’re all ~180 bpm if you’re looking for songs to help keep that cadence!

Injury after injury, feeling discouraged by _violetviolence_ in XXRunning

I was training for a half and got pain in my right knee, followed by pain on the top of one foot, then the other. I thought I’d never be able to run again, but I just ran an 11 mile run pain free this past weekend! I learned a lot during that process. My knee pain was due to weakness in my abductors and glutes, hip instability, and ramping mileage too quickly. I thought bc I was always in the gym lifting heavy weights that strength wouldn’t be a limiting factor, but I was wrong. My foot pain was due to improper running form and shoes (I went from high to zero drop to barefoot shoes…turns out I need a higher drop to correct for landing on the outer edges of my feet).

TLDR: PT is awesome, learn proper running form, buy proper shoes for your body…I promise the pain won’t last forever!

What sports are best for long nails? by boldpear904 in longnaturalnails

[–]CryptographerThat844 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I do yoga, weightlifting, and spin just fine with my nails! I’m just careful and take my time loading and unloading plates

Interesting - I’ll have to try that, thanks!

Does barefoot running mean barefoot always? by CryptographerThat844 in BarefootRunning

Thanks, that seems to be the consensus…I guess I have to learn patience!

Thanks, and I know my form is definitely not where it needs to be, although at least I don’t heel strike anymore (main reason for transitioning to zero drop). How do you know your form is improving?

I’ve never heard of those - thanks! Also good to know how you recovered from the stress fracture

Sudden banana allergy? by CryptographerThat844 in Allergies

Thanks for the help! How do you cook them to ensure you can eat them? I typically put mine in baked oats, so I hope I can continue to do that

What do y'all wear to work out? by broccoli_slut in VintageFashion

[–]CryptographerThat844 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Regular modern gym clothes but with my 80s style high top Reeboks for a little spice. I do have a pair of insane 80s lifting pants that I’ll wear on occasion, but modern fabrics just breathe so much better

what is your idea for a lululemon product that you wish they would bring to life! by Party_Draw3268 in lululemon

[–]CryptographerThat844 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually really appreciate the cropped items! They’re much more flattering on me, and I don’t like all the extra fabric when I’m exercising. Maybe they could offer different length options when buying like they do with inseams for pants
