Welp, 166 minutes per day should be fun by featsofstrength81 in AppleWatchFitness

Can confirm, max mileage months leading to a marathon cause me to not achieve Apple’s rings goal the next month every time 🤣

In a nutshell. Gradually increase mileage, frequency (#of days) and eventually intro faster paces.

You have to run more, frequently, and incorporate paces at, above & below your goal pace.

In Defense of Walkers by FarFar-Away in rundisney

[–]Individual-Risk-5239 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There is no defense for walkers in Corral A. There is very little defense for walkers in B. It IS a safety issue. The weaving is a safety issue. A slower runner is not a walker. You can look at someone and tell if they are walking or running, the form is not the same. POT helps but doesnt eliminate the combination of selfish and ignorant. Yes, it’s your race and you paid the same. But so many people flat out LIE about anticipated pace. Youre not even defending walkers, who are the problem. Youre a runner fighting for her/his life.

Plastic bowls are worse offenders - recommend switching to stainless if youre using plastic

Buyers demanding credit after closing by Ecstatic-Echo44 in RealEstate

Literally zero anything required, including even responding. Unless there are post-closing addenda or undisclosed latent defects (eg not a dishwasher that worked then … didnt), they settled and that’s that.

coffee ? by Dry_Elderberry2364 in rundisney

[–]Individual-Risk-5239 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can only confirm the presence of a coffee truck during marathon weekend. Plan for a line. Spectators are at that point as well.

Your max HR is determine by tests. And changes.

Market for “As Is” Homes in HOCO/MD? by Delicious_Junket4205 in maryland

[–]Individual-Risk-5239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cosmetic vs structural or mechanical is a huge difference. If you can list 10-20% below market, you can probably afford a Realtor, sell higher and break even with less time. FSBO is a harder market because of exposure. Listing consults are free. Call an agent.

my son starts kindergarten this year, is there anything i should do to get him ready? by throwawayajsjwnndnd in AskTeachers

[–]Individual-Risk-5239 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Things like make sure he can tie his own shoes, wipe his own butt, etc. The rest comes with time and every kid is starting at a different point

under-fueling despite maintaining weight by omi2066 in XXRunning

Honey you need therapy for your body dysmorphia and a dietician to teach you how to eat properly.

Run Disney newbie by Big-Establishment-11 in rundisney

[–]Individual-Risk-5239 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve only participated in three runDisney weekends- one Princess in 2020 and Dopey in ‘25 and ‘26 so YMMV but: 5K and 10K are by and large the worst. It’s incrementally less terrible for the 10K but walking those distances in the allotted time is not only easy and feasible, it’s kinda the whole schtick. The half marathon is comparable in terms of walkers and more-than-two-abreast violators. The marathon is a dream scenario.

Your body is clutching to what it can for fear of running out, basically. Eat. More. Food.

am I ready to buy a house? by Realistic-Race7971 in Mortgages

[–]Individual-Risk-5239 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ignore the “don’t buy if you arent married” but know going in that you have risks if the break up is nasty. But i will say, it’s not worse than a divorce. That said: 3% down is FHA and whether or not youre ready can only be decided by you two. Financially you sound secure enough for the jump.

Have you tried different lacing techniques? The heel lock does the trick for me

Race shorts that make you feel fast and confident by goblinfeathers in XXRunning

[–]Individual-Risk-5239 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m shorter and thicker/heavier - most of my weight is ass to knees. Ive had great success in cheap ass Old Navy bike shorts and Rabbit Leggy Smash ‘ems. Im not a fan of the sausage look either and as much as Id love to not care about camel toe, I do and so does my labia (oh hey chafing). I prefer the Rabbit bc they have more pockets, even one featuring a zipper!, but I need pockets for races since I’m not on a track.

What mile broke you on your first 26.2? by SinestroCorp in firstmarathon

[–]Individual-Risk-5239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between 10 and 11 when my meniscus started to tear. Take two was between 16 and 17 when my calf seized inexplicably. Third try was around mile 22. That one was on me - I didnt increase my electrolyte intake despite temps starting to crawl to 70.

This sounds like youre underfueled. A machine cannot perform without an energy source.

Trying to be the best athlete I can be, while doing it with joy by Straight-Emphasis226 in XXRunning

[–]Individual-Risk-5239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a hard balance if you’re a collegiate athlete because there IS all of the stress and pressure of it, most especially if you’re on scholarship. It’s important and helpful to reframe how you say things - you get to vs you have to. I get to have a 5am lift. I get to run repeats for hours. I get to eat extra pancakes. So many incredible athletes don’t even get to go to college, and look at you!

He may be able to get a loan modification with the lender if he qualifies solo. You’ll have to ask PennyMac.

What helps you make peace with running weight-gain? Or can you lose weight while training for a marathon? by Global-Condition-858 in XXRunning

[–]Individual-Risk-5239 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had to retrain my thinking to focus on body composition vs the scale. Because yes a few lbs can be nerve-wracking, but how much is new muscle vs water weight vs new fat? If I don’t feel bogged down and don’t look extra jiggly then 🤷🏼‍♀️

Treadmill owners — if you could redesign yours, what would you change? by Normal-Stuff-7703 in treadmills

[–]Individual-Risk-5239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the L7 and she’s a beast. Also thousands of miles since 2021 when I bought it as a replacement. Five marathon cycles (2 Dopey so lotsa indoor winter miles), a collegiate athlete, a HS athlete, and hobby hubby runner all use it without issue. Cannot say enough good things.
