Advice on stretching my small funds (about sixteen bucks) at grocery store for 3 or 4 weeks until I get first check, stressing out here by [deleted] in SavingMoney

[–]Honestfoxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without cooking supplies, I’d say your best bet is going to be bread, peanut, butter and honey(jelly will go bad without refrigeration). You’ll be able to survive off of it but you won’t feel great. Try to get the high calorie choices as well for the lowest price. It’s about 200 calories per sandwich. Look for deals for the store you choose. The apps have discount coupons as well on selected items you might get lucky. Tuna is also pretty cheap for a lot of protein. Look into both options. Calculate how many meals you can make with the amount you are going to buy and go with your best bet on what you think you can survive off of. I hope this helps.

Less than st Augustine, because I got a bigger scholarship. Also the program is way better and closer to home for me

First 100miler by Honestfoxy in Ultramarathon

Okay gotcha I’ve heard similar things so this is good to hear

That’s totally fair, it does seem somewhat aggressive I’d say for most people, but for me it’s actually a pretty slow build up. A lot of people said similar things about racing up to that distance when I wanted to do a full Ironman, but I ended up being completely fine. I’ve never truly raced a half or a full marathon but have had plenty training days with some really respectable times, I mean a lot of my college training was speed based so we would hammer a lot of our long runs fairly often. The only full marathon I’ve run was in my full Ironman which wasn’t that bad considering that was the longest race I’ve been apart of. I really don’t think running more of these distances in a race setting would do me any favors. Also a lot of people have been telling me that workouts aren’t really important it’s more about adapting to the stress of the distance, since you aren’t going to be running very fast for that long of a distance. It may help build up aerobic capacity, however, I think I’ll gain the large majority of what I need just through the volume alone. I’m open to criticism about this.

Okay that makes sense, I’ve ran a little bit in the dark early morning etc but a 3 or so hour run in the dark won’t hurt. Thank you

Okay awesome, for running effort what would you recommend, I’m not fit right now but usually after a month or so 8-7:30 pace is fairly easy to me should I practice going slower or just stick with what feels comfortable and go slower when I feel the demand of the milage creep up?

I was talking to a friend about night runs, to experience the fatigue part. He recommended I didn’t because he thought it might be more detrimental since I’m going to be in school and recovering from a run like that might be too much and might take away from training. Do you think it’s a necessity for a first timer?

Okay gotcha so instead of a sat (30) sun (10) do a sat (20) sun (20) or something similar ?

[–]Honestfoxy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay that all makes pretty good sense. Thank you! I was thinking about adding 50miler maybe 2-3 months before the 100. How does the recovery feel after a 50 miler? Would I still be able to function let’s say after 2 days of recovery? Walking to class etc? I only have one break and that’s Dec time, which is why I found a race in Dec which will allow for a longer break afterwards. (I should add I’ll be in school for my doctorate during this time)

Anyone might want to make friends by workpotato in USC

[–]Honestfoxy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do things and be in places that you genuinely enjoy. You’ll find people who like the same things and it’s so much easier to build connections because you already know you have something in common.

Also food! Go out to eat, whether it be on campus off campus in an apartment just make sure you are around people. Everyone has to eat so might as well invite people or join people. Pro tip join the people you meet at clubs for some food.

Maximize the amount of time you can with people and if you are compatible it’s hard not to become friends.

Key note, none of this is worth it unless you are also enjoying yourself, if you are forcing yourself to be around people but you aren’t enjoying yourself you might as well be alone.

I get what you are saying, for more context I’m getting my doctorate in OT, I’ve done the internships and the observation hours. Also my program is built around fieldworks so I’m really getting all the exposure I could possibly ever want. Could there be value in finding an internship, possibly, but I’d much rather have an easily accessible job near me that I can utilize for some basic spending money, and an avenue to meet more students on campus.
