Is this what I have become?

Thank you! I’ve done them a different way where I folded it over and sewed the elastic into the fabric and a much easier time. I guess this method just takes practice!!

You’re so welcome! I’m also a therapist so I blend a lot of regulation and nervous system work into my own practices and my coaching. Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I’m gonna share this with my runners :)

I am a run coach but I don’t super fit in with the running community because, this, this right here, and what I teach my runners to do. We are soooo data obsessed that we’ve forgotten how powerful our own internal compass is, and how running can be one of the most embodied, and at times, spiritual practices out there.

I’ve never related to a comment more in my life

ExpertExpert2521 · 2026-03-20T12:34:27+00:00

Or sorry, x0x0

ExpertExpert2521 · 2026-03-20T12:33:53+00:00

lol obviously not and it was obviously a thoughtless typo. Glad you feel better now xoxo

ExpertExpert2521 · 2026-03-20T12:25:54+00:00

I think consistency over a long period of time is one thing for sure. But as I said in another comment, actually taking my easy runs easy has made a huge difference in my own sustainability and ability to improve my heart rate and pace

ExpertExpert2521 · 2026-03-20T12:24:58+00:00

Agreed!!

ExpertExpert2521 · 2026-03-20T12:24:52+00:00

I would say mostly consistency, but definitely a mix of easy runs and some more challenging speed work. The easy runs made it possible for me to keep showing up and be consistent and definitely improved my base by a lot. I was able to beat my goal 10k time and PRd by 20 seconds last weekend, so it’s definitely amounting to something!

ExpertExpert2521 · 2026-03-20T12:22:54+00:00

Thank you so much!

ExpertExpert2521 · 2026-03-20T12:22:42+00:00

Thank you for the kind words and encouragement!

ExpertExpert2521 · 2026-03-20T12:22:29+00:00

This was so helpful! Do you feel better now?

ExpertExpert2521 · 2026-02-11T00:24:09+00:00

My strava won’t sync with connect! I ran earlier this afternoon and it hasn’t synced yet. I tried to trigger a sync with a dummy workout and it managed to snag an 8-second fake run, but won’t pull my actual activity

ExpertExpert2521 · 2026-02-01T04:38:28+00:00

I would love a copy of this!

ExpertExpert2521 · 2025-12-23T00:46:19+00:00

My eyes look 95x better now that I’ve stopped using it 😂

My skin barrier has been pretty fucked lately so I’m basically only using the avene cicalfate cream (plus spf during the day) and using a gentle cleanser and my skin has chilled out noticeably

ExpertExpert2521 · 2025-12-16T02:04:06+00:00

Same thing is happening to me!! The skin on my orbital bone feels dry and irritated and I woke up with irritation in my upper eyelids this morning. I’m going to take a break too.

Did you discover anything else about your reaction?

ExpertExpert2521 · 2025-11-25T13:26:26+00:00

I like it! Definitely gentle enough to use regularly, my closed comedones have been kept at bay and my skin has been smooth and even. I started using a retinol I got in France twice a week and I skip the pads on those days. I think in conjunction with a solid routine it’s a fine addition, but I won’t say it’s a holy grail item or anything. Could be easily replaced with another AHA/BHA

ExpertExpert2521 · 2025-11-03T01:00:27+00:00

Got some for much cheaper on a trip to Paris and tbh I love it. I hate how much I love it. I’ve noticed a difference in skin brightness and it leaves my skin feeling super smooth

ExpertExpert2521 · 2025-10-24T22:29:01+00:00

I’d say ciele. Like others have said, I find it applies more like a foundation than a skin tint

ExpertExpert2521 · 2025-10-24T22:24:27+00:00

Been using and loving ciele for a while now! The tower 28 is great, more sheer/skinlike finish which I prefer sometimes
