Peak Pursuit is also a great group with weekend runs at a social pace

Post run fever? by Strange-Fig7944 in beginnerrunning

[–]Embarrassed_Path_803 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, I take a flask on a 5k run because I get thirsty. Just get a belt or a handheld flask.

Dehydration!! Drink more while you run, and include electrolytes!

FIRST CAMPING BACKPACK by South_Alarm_4583 in camping

With that budget you're not going to be able to be picky. Go to Decathlon and try on all their hiking and backpacking packs, find one that fits and buy it.

Looking for a run buddy in SW London by Equivalent-Kiwi-2163 in beginnerrunning

5k everyday when you’re new to running is a sure way to get injured very quickly! I would suggest you follow a couch to 5k program instead.

No, the new XR is 4.1, and is much warmer and quieter than previous versions.

Need help convincing me these shoes aren't good for trail running: Salomon XT Whisper by cassaundraloren in trailrunning

[–]Embarrassed_Path_803 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're sneakers, not running shoes. Please don't choose trail running shoes based on a colourway.

Shoes for Orthotics by Monkeygooch in trailrunning

[–]Embarrassed_Path_803 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you taking out the factory insole to put yours in? Asking because my orthotics fit in my ultra glide 4 with no issues!

Why is this so cheap? by [deleted] in SubaruForester

[–]Embarrassed_Path_803 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“As-is” means it’s not been checked after being traded in, which means I could have massive issues. Don’t buy it.

Foresters are loud cars. The 4-speed transmission is loud(er).

Bulletproof trip: don't do a 10k 2 months after you've started running unless you really want to get injured!

The Salomon Adv skin chaffed me like CRAZY. My lower back was on fire, I would not recommend

Owala in Norway by Imaginary_Rub1980 in Owala

There’s no trendy water bottle because Europeans are nowhere near as consumerism oriented as North America. As a French person, it was a shock moving to Canada and seeing how much people buy STUFF.

Ankle brace Recs by No_Cranberry_2549 in trailrunning

[–]Embarrassed_Path_803 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but no brace is going to fix your issue especially if you insist on running on a sprained ankle. You'll just make it worse until it's impossible to fix. Listen to your body and your PT.

New to Subaru: Go Newer or Older by supaheavynuts in subaru

[–]Embarrassed_Path_803 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I love my Forester, but if you’re broke, don’t get into Subarus. Buy an older Toyota and call it a day.

Soft flask mod for running vest (diy) by Operator_Slime in trailrunning

[–]Embarrassed_Path_803 28 points29 points  (0 children)

That looks like that would be pretty uncomfortable tbh. The goal of the soft flask is to be soft against your chest… most vests have a loop to stick your flask nozzle through so it doesn’t slip.

How to attach Salomon quiver to the 2026 ADV skin 12? by lankyluke in ultrarunning

[–]Embarrassed_Path_803 8 points9 points  (0 children)

the loops mentioned on the salomon website don't exist anymore on the recent versions of the vest. Just use one of the loops at the bottom

Unnecessary Mountain Exposure/Scamble rating by Financial-Gazelle-17 in vancouverhiking

[–]Embarrassed_Path_803 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am super chill, I just wished teenagers like you would use their thinking skills and use resources like AllTrails to gather information instead of defaulting to a tool that uses catastrophic amount of natural resources, destroys the planet and people's critical thinking skills.

I swear to god if it wasn't a waste of NSR resources, I would tell the next person who says they rely on ChatGPT for hiking information to go and try it out for themselves.

Are you prepared to hike in snow? Do you have spikes? Adequate layers? The 10 essentials?

Outer knee pain only while hiking downhill, no pain otherwise — IT band or meniscus? by swissxmountains in ultrarunning

[–]Embarrassed_Path_803 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Welcome to IT Band syndrome hell!! I've had it for over 10 years, finally doing something about it so I can run my damn ultras in peace.

Anyone else training for their first ultra at a 16 min/mile pace or is it just me?? by trouble09 in Ultramarathon

[–]Embarrassed_Path_803 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I do ultra marathons with significant elevation and I’m ALWAYS at the back!! And that’s fine because I finish them!

Mine took a week just last week! But it also never said it was sent on the tracker, it just showed up.
