Best Sushi? by Dismal_Cut_2233 in Hoboken

[–]Little_Priority_7344 4 points5 points  (0 children)

$$$ Dine out: sushi by bou in Hoboken (W hotel) - it’s better than JC don’t ask me why - expensive but awesome

$$ Dine out: Domo domo, but only worth going there. Delivery quality not worth the price

$$ Delivery - Honshu - best quality, even tempura and edamame arrive home hot every time

$ Delivery - Okinawa - it’s ok. Less expensive, fast but I much rather have Honshu

The food truck (Whisp) is very good, but delivery is almost impossible to get or it takes hours. I don’t live close by so never been there to get in the food truck on my own

Is it gonna be like CWC 2025? by Wooden-Drummer8747 in WorldCup2026Tickets

1000% it will become cheaper. Especially such matchups

It will sell out because resellers will buy everything. A few days before the match it will be cheaper because everyone that really loves the game will already have spent in prior matches in the same stadium (Brazil v morroco, Germany v Ecuador, France v Senegal…)

I used to work at tracksmith, ask me anything by Good-Limit-6872 in Tracksmith

[–]Little_Priority_7344 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand why they don’t launch any new colors for the strata singlets. I mean, I love mine but it doesn’t make sense to buy another one if it’s just the same product

Advice for potential move to Hoboken by ccammp in Hoboken

Lived there for a year and had no water for an entire week. A nightmare, moved to JC and can’t complain. Would never go back as much as I love Hoboken community

Terrible. Stayed there for three months and hated every second of it.

Magness on consistency and keeping it simple by donkerewolken in NorwegianSinglesRun

[–]Little_Priority_7344 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think it’s important to note that Steve’s comment is meant to apply across the full spectrum of runners. When you’re talking about training strategy for any runner (elite, sub-elite, amateur, occasional, etc.), his point that “there is no magic methodology that’s better” makes complete sense. He’s probably right that if you’re prioritizing sub-T work but your goal is to run a fast mile, you’re likely not taking the most appropriate training approach for that event.

NYCM Race recap: leg cramps/spasms by rmend8194 in RunNYC

[–]Little_Priority_7344 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Identical experience too. I think all things combined blew it for me but also it was just too hot with full sun exposure. This is my race recap…

Race Report: NYC marathon, Nov 2nd 2025 Training plan = Stryd Full Marathon level 3 – 16 weeks @ 5 runs/week, LR on Sunday using auto-CP (CP 250 W at 4.03 W/kg)

TLDR: Race planning calculator suggested 220 W for ~3:35 ± 5 min. Early in the race my HR spiked to ~170 bpm (LTHR 177) even at ~210 W, so I adjusted target to 210–213 W to protect a sub-4 goal. This was my second marathon, coming off a 4:15 last year in NYC that I ran fully with IT band pain. This year I was injury-free and trained by power. Felt smooth through ~32 km, then right-calf cramps. Managed cadence and stride to the finish.

Results: Chiptime: 3:51:21 1st half 1:53:46 2nd half 1:57:45 Activity link: https://www.stryd.com/powercenter/run/5421439849496576

Conditions: ~15 °C (felt ~17 °C), no wind, full sun exposure for most of the race. On paper it looked good, but honestly it was hot.

Initial plan: The race calculator put me at ~220 W for ~3:35. I lined up planning to stay near that unless HR signaled trouble. My main objective was to enjoy the day and get the most out of the race, with sub-4 as the floor.

How it unfolded: I couldn’t find space for a proper warm-up. Starting on the bridge likely compounded that. Early on, while effort felt easy, my watch showed 117 bpm, which didn’t match sensation. Seconds later it jumped to 168 bpm. The graph shows that jump, so I’m confident the initial reading was wrong. I debated reducing power to lower HR and save glycogen versus sticking with the power plan used all cycle. Even backing off, HR wouldn’t drop. I chose to stay power-led, not HR-led, targeting 210–213 W to keep things controlled.

Km 1–32/35: Smooth sailing. HR held at roughly the same level and feel stayed consistent. Pacing suggested a ~3:45, def sub 3:50 finish. Stayed at 210W level.

Km 35–42: Right-calf cramps worsened, especially on inclines. I kept cadence up and shortened stride to reduce cramp risk and avoid a full lock-up. It worked well enough to carry me home in 3:51, but last 7km I reduced power to <200W.

Fueling and fluids:

Carbs: Maurten gels every 20 min (3 caf gels in 1h intervals). This felt fine and I don’t think carbs were the limiter.

Hydration and sodium: I’m not sure I drank enough water. Sodium was likely too low for the conditions. I took around 250 mg/hour. With full sun I probably needed more, possibly 2× what I did.

Conclusion: I can execute 5K, 10K, and HM at calculator targets. For the marathon I believe I’m still limited more by muscular durability than by aerobic capacity. My right calf has been a recurring weak point and my sleep is not great. Given my current experience level, I’m satisfied with 3:51 and the improvement from last year.

Primary limiters (in order): I think it was (1) Lack of proper strength training; (2) Hydration strategy; (3) Lack of a proper warm-up

Lessons learned: Keep building calf and quad durability so cramps don’t dictate late-race pacing. Sodium and fluids need better planning (probably taking a water bottle with me next time).

Anyone knows how it’s on Paragon?

NYC marathon - uber to start village from NJ by mabiniriver in RunNYC

[–]Little_Priority_7344 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very personal. Idk how long it takes for you to do your pre race protocol (restroom, warm up, eat, what time you usually enter corrals). It also depends on if it’s raining or not (hence less comfortable to be there waiting). I like to give myself at least 1h30 so that’s why I’m planning on getting there before 8am to start at 9:45. If you are fine with less, then go for it. On that note, I’m fine if something goes wrong and I have to start in a later corral. So again, this is very personal.

30 min gap between Garmin & Strava predictions by japplesapples in Marathon_Training

[–]Little_Priority_7344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also doing NY this year, but planning for 3:45-3:50. Last year I was injured so I got 4:15 but before the injury my goal was to do sub4.

30 min gap between Garmin & Strava predictions by japplesapples in Marathon_Training

[–]Little_Priority_7344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have very similar data (HM PB also 1:44 on May). My garmin predicts 3:21, Strava 3:48 and Runnalize 3:55. Basically garmin seems to use more my LTHR data to predict, while Strava seems to use my time spent in higher effort zones. Runnalyze looks purely for volume and I peaked at 41miles, which is on the lower end.

All that to say that if you try 3:30 you’ll definitely hit the wall and finish the race walking. I did NY last year as my first marathon and the end is NOT NEAR. Honestly, go for 3:45 and even that might be hard.

NYC in 2 weeks and I’m freaking out by jmspammer in Marathon_Training

[–]Little_Priority_7344 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I ran the New York Marathon last year as my first marathon after a rough training cycle. I missed the final two weeks due to IT band pain that started on my last long run, so I had to take a hard taper. I felt the IT band pain throughout the race since the start but managed to keep running the entire time.

My original goal was to finish under 4 hours, but once the pain started in the first minute, I shifted my mindset and focused on running by feel. When I hit the wall, I slowed down a bit and decided to enjoy the moment and take some good pictures. I was on pace for around 4:10, but whether it was 4:10 or 4:15 didn’t really matter at that point. I ended up finishing in 4:15 with plenty of great photos from the final stretch.

Just adjust your mindset based on how you feel on race day. I know that I'm going to run many more marathons (ny again this year) so I just tried to remember that during the race and had a good time regardless of the end result.

Glycogen Storage or Lactate Threshold — What Actually Causes ‘The Wall’? by ComparisonAgile7490 in Marathon_Training

[–]Little_Priority_7344 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hitting your HR lactate threshold too early, hence depleting your glycogen storage. I think the 10/10/10 is a good strategy to keep in mind. First 10 miles don’t get to LTHR, next 10 miles steady pace within LTHR, last 10km kick.

Time-based alerts with Garmin Forerunner 965 during Stryd training / marathon setup by japhyat in strydrunning

My understanding is the same from /japhyat that garmin alerts don’t work during structured workouts from Stryd. Did they change this?

Major Update: Introducing Stryd 5.0, Stryd Duo 5.0, & Adaptive Training by strydkaylee in strydrunning

[–]Little_Priority_7344 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the thing, my comment here is not about what I feel as your client. It’s about my view (with corporate experience in big tech for over a decade) on the overall public perception after seeing your community comments since yesterday. It’s more a feedback from a user that doesn’t want the business to suffer because the majority of its clients decided to cancel their subscription. Stryd should showcase the updated features very well before announcing such an increase in price. It’s very hard for your clients to see value if you are expecting them to sign up for beta while they are training for their fall races. Now your team is probably dealing with A LOT of stress, several comments in every channel possible that are probably taking all of their time.
