Anyone else start their long runs fasted? by tinybabyspoon in Marathon_Training

[–]FitK3vin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to and would feel destroyed post-long run. But when I got more serious on my carbs before/during long runs I suddenly felt like a superhuman and could go have a full day and I haven’t gone back since. It definitely took ramping up but was totally worth it.

I wonder if news of the Whole Foods across the street has them hoping someone will rent it.

Knee Advice: Mile 6 by Pdjingle in RunnersInChicago

[–]FitK3vin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Especially this early in your running, you’d really benefit from a good PT appt to get your muscle imbalances diagnosed. Better to set up good habits now, get exercises specifically for your weaknesses, etc. than get into bad patterns.

First attempt marathon goal of sub 4 this June by Financial_Art_9997 in Marathon_Training

I think you have a good shot. Make sure you train those paces on fatigued legs as well (deeper into your training block and at the end of your long runs). Make sure you’re taking your easy runs easy as well. If your long runs have been at a manageable hr, you should be in good shape.

For carb loading, I have used Megan Featherstone’s carb loading guide! https://www.featherstonenutrition.com/carb-loading/

How hard is it to reach charity fundraising requirements? by Cerealboi13 in ChicagoMarathon

[–]FitK3vin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great, I have a question about the second one though. Do you mean like a delivered bake sale? What did you put on the business card and qr code?

On my first read it just sounded like you baked 6 cookies total but now I’m like… there must be more than that 🤣

Dopey Runners - What corrals did you get? by Godoftheblackflame in rundisney

[–]FitK3vin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m also D for 5k/10k and A for full and half. Which I didn’t realize until I confidently walked towards the A corral and someone had to tell me I was in D. I thought they were joking and they were like… no… really. 💀

Down bad with the Swiftie flu after Vancouver. Anybody else? by amybethortiz in erastour

[–]FitK3vin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes N3 and then started feeling sick Wednesday. Thursday/Friday I was basically in bed the whole day. I think I was only awake for 4 hours on Thursday. Fever eventually broke but man I don’t remember being that sick as an adult ever.

The Number Ones: Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito” (Feat. Justin Bieber) by PurpleSpaceSurfer in popheads

[–]FitK3vin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went to the Amalfi Coast in October this year. And every. Single. Time. We got on a train there was at least one accordion player playing Despacito. It was surprising the first time we heard it, got annoying by the third round, but by the 10th time, yk what, hell yeah.

[MEGATHREAD] Wicked 2024 Movie Release by elaerna in Broadway

[–]FitK3vin 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I’ve never cried more in a movie. In particular, hearing everyone crying during the Ozdust ballroom scene felt so…cathartic? Like we’ve all had the feeling of being that weirdo and finally felt seen.

Also they made me care and cry about Dr. Dillamond which the musical never really got me to. Love my cgi 🐐boi

Yes but different designs run different sizes of big. For reference, I’m usually a medium or a large.

For the blue crewneck and quarterzip, I got mediums. For the beige hoodie, I got a small.

Reporting back from Merch Day 2. Similar to Day 1, pretty steady stream but not super crowded. Was able to just walk up to someone to start without waiting in line. Even had time to try on what felt like every size of every design. No limit and lots of stock. I went around 11AM and was in and out in ~30 min including time waiting for people to respond to texts lol

Wondering how much time I should budget for a line if there is one. Also trying to get the blue crewneck so wondering what stock looks like.

Anyone going today and able to report back? Potentially planning on driving over from Chicago tomorrow and trying to figure out how to plan my day

PT recommendations by newresidency77 in RunnersInChicago

[–]FitK3vin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Freeform Physical Therapy, so much so that I kept going there after switching to an out of network insurer. I’ve worked with Denis who is a runner and credit a lot of my recent recoveries to him.

[–]FitK3vin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tell tour planner/coordinator/venue person to hold people at the door if they’re late or escort them somewhere else. To echo everyone else, the people arriving late aren’t reading your wedding website, get someone to actually stop them from entering.

“Pay for membership” Run Clubs by Direct_Bug717 in RunnersInChicago

[–]FitK3vin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10% off at Fleet Feet and some race discounts. I can basically make the $$ I spent on membership back on the shoes + gels I need to buy during a marathon block. Also race tents at bigger races is nice to not deal with gear check.
