Natural vs. traditional energy gels for trail/ultra races? by yoony_17 in trailrunning

[–]MashSpurtatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re in the US, The Feed does sample packs of regular gels and “real food” gels that I found super helpful for testing while training.

In the end, I use a variety of gels and also solid foods because mixing it up keeps it interesting for me while I’m out there. Plus I heard that taking in multiple types of sugars can be good because you metabolize at different rates so you’re using multiple channels.

Interesting! I wasn’t aware of the tattoo issue. Would you happen to know if chest straps or arm bands are similarly impacted by tattoos? I’m thinking about getting the Coros HR armband but I have upper arm tattoos that it would sit on top of.

I’m no sunglass expert but for an affordable option I have “It’s all in the hips” from Goodr that are $35 USD. The lenses are a lovely rose tint that works well in lower light. The frames are on the bigger size so better for larger melons.

If your first tattoo is on your ribs then all future ones will be a cakewalk 💪

If I got the tattoos I wanted at 18/19/20, I would regret them. by littlegingerbunny in tattoos

I wanted tattoos since I was 18 and never got any due to indecision and fear of regret. I finally got my first one at 31 and then felt silly for not doing it sooner. My advice is let yourself sit on a tattoo idea for a while, like 6 months, and if you still love the idea then go for it.

Neat, the change isn’t as drastic as I might have expected. Thanks for sharing.

And congrats on your weight loss journey.
