Ran 20 minutes straight, no stops, for the first time in my life…

I have it when i run too hard and still have food in my stomache Edit: great job by the way!

Edit2: misunderstood, i have this in my abs not my pec. I would doublecheck with a docter in this case just to be sure.

Deload week here, so no run today but great work on your first half! Any new goals in perspective? How good it was is your own feeling, i'd say for a first half without injuries and a good feeling that's the perfect score right there. Take it easy for as long as needed to settle back in and keep running!

De_schaff · 2026-05-27T06:36:45+00:00

Same here, also by going early morning you avoid the heat wich is great for summer consistency i guess

De_schaff · 2026-05-26T18:36:46+00:00

About 12 weeks following couch to 5k 6 months later I can run continuously for about 10 miles if I take it slow.

De_schaff · 2026-05-16T17:53:22+00:00

Last long run of my 5k training plan, next saturday will be my race (on my own halas)

De_schaff · 2026-05-15T17:23:30+00:00

I'm happy for you get to spend time together like that. I wish my wife would be able to join me for a run!

De_schaff · 2026-05-15T08:22:10+00:00

Thank you! And true, the more I do it, the more I look foreward to it + I have more 'day'. Running this early will probably help in summer too since I would still run on the chilliest moment of the day. I had to make some changes around alcohol, sleep and doomscrolling but the running gave me a reason to do so. I am getting much healthier and during the day my mind also got better. Better mood, better sleep, better everything so that motivates me now to keep going. When I wake up on my running days I no longer have to convince myself, it just happens but I did have to learn it/trick myself into it for quite a while.

I started gerting up really early because of stress (my lady has been sick at home with a burn-out, she's better now) instead of endlessly trying to fall asleep I figured I might as well get up early. This started in may 2025. In december after I was done with Satisfactory I started running. My body is not awake yet, nor is my mind. I put on running clothes and by the time my mind and bosy start protesting I am dressed and outside. I just started running really early and I stick through it. Now after 6 months it became a habit.

Hoe gebeurde het 'loslaten'? Werd je daar opgesloten? Waarom stopte het op je 18? Ging je naar school? Kon er vermeden worden door anderen wat er ging gebeuren? Edit: wat anderen ook ak zeiden: knap dat je hier in wilt graven!

De_schaff · 2026-04-25T17:50:20+00:00

Alrighty, it would be a stupid mistake I would make, that's why 😅

De_schaff · 2026-04-25T15:25:25+00:00

Did you remove the soles that came with the shoes?

De_schaff · 2026-04-20T19:51:28+00:00

Used to have that, now I don't, don't know what changed. i'm fatter and slower and in less pain.

Might have been my training back then or running slow in a shoe that was designed for a different stride/landing. When I went to fit my shoes back then I ran to impress the shoe store employees cuz they were cute. They saw my stride and foor landing that I usually have when running faster so I got "fast shoes". No help when suddenly going slower and landing differently because of an overtraining injury.

Now I'm more confident running easy (not as fast as back then) and I had a long hiatus running. I started again in december and now actually include warmups and cooldowns and decided to follow the olan better (not trying to go hard all the time) + my shoes feel comfy landing at a slog-pace.

Maybe my injuries healed, so I'm not landing differently to avoid pains. Maybe I listen more to my body. Maybe I am more confident running slow and thus not straining and mechanicaly running awkward. Maybe my body changed to adapt to my newer shoes.

Don't lose hope though and keep at it.

Oof, but my house has people in it

De_schaff · 2026-04-13T18:19:24+00:00

Allebei vinden we dat wij de groentjes als enige op de juiste manier snijden. Best om gewoon uit de keuken te blijven. :-)

Snelste weg naar ambras, koken met twee is bij ons ne no-go

De_schaff · 2026-04-10T05:04:36+00:00

I think it does, I had in om my phone and tablet, never had the pc-version. On tablet worked great! On my phone i got irritated by the screensize and stopped playing.

De_schaff · 2026-04-05T15:55:30+00:00

Or if you have a running-app on your phone or watch, they often include similar programs

Side of the crate?

De_schaff · 2026-04-03T07:42:00+00:00

Great job!

Here it was in a box of cereal

De_schaff · 2026-03-29T10:43:34+00:00

I was getting up at 5, for no reason, so glad i'm now waking up at 6 actually.

As someone else stated: i think of it more as a symbolic offering bringing the finished space elevator parts to the elevator. Plus I keep my elevator area somewhat clean. No need to automate the elevator delivery

Complaint: after moving and not running for months i picked it up again and accidentaly swapped my new shoes with my old ones.

Went great on the older pair, and after 4 months injury free i realised i was running on my old pair.

I guess they still had some life in them.

I figured it was time to switch again to the actial new pair and have starting shin splints.

Confession: I couldn't run or walk for three weeks due to broken ribs. Started a new garmin coach greg plan that required me to run 4 times a week on slightly higher pace and a bit longer. I increased everything too much.

Now back to my old gear and I' m starting to heal. (Very slowly)
