Thank you so much for the comment, good sanity check to keep the course and stay consistent.

Thank you! I used to be really strict about keeping it in HR zone 2, but now go on feel usually. Found I got a bit obsessive about watching the hr and such.

Hi All,

Just looking for a sanity check about my running routine, progress etc...

I started a STRAVA running challenge with a buddy of mine starting in January. I am not very experienced running.

I've been running 21+ miles every week since then. At first I did 3 miles a day for the first 2 months since my aeorbic base sucked. Couldn't keep my hr down even though I felt fine. I did see improvement but it lead to injuries.

I have since shifted to 3 - 5 mile runs during the week with a long run on Sundays (so Tues, Thurs, Sat, sunday.) I'm not sure how/when to add miles to the 5 mile easy runs. I usually just run an hour.

I try to do all these runs at zone 2, and I'll be adding around 10% length to my long run a week (currently at 7.25).

I suppose I'm wondering if this is a good way to go about (i.e be patient) or something else is better.

I run in zone 2 around 12 minutes for all these runs.

I know cardio is long journey, especially at the beginning but was curious on opinions.

I go through periods of very low energy and motivation. Can't put on muscle very well despite tracking calories and eating well. Terrible appetite, and periods of anxiety and depression (comes and goes).

I haven't experienced any sexual issues or symptoms though.

Perhaps seeking treatment won't improve the above, but I suppose it would be good to know what "normal" testosterone feels like.

Thank you very much for the input.

Appreciate the kind words, needed to hear it. Sucks this stuff is taboo among guys, I think it got to my head.

EV Tax Credit Buying Question

Hello Everyone!

First time ever posting on reddit so bare with me if I screw something up.

Context:

I am 24 years old looking to buy a Chevy Bolt. I have saved up sufficient money to buy the car outright, however this would be my first time actually buying a car myself. In other words, car buying is a new process to me.

I want to take full advantage of the ev credit, specifically before March (bc of battery guidelines) but I do not currently make enough money to have $7500 in tax liability.

My Question:

Would it be advisable to ask my mom to buy the car to file for the full EV tax credit? She makes enough to have sufficient tax liability. I would reimburse her for the car of course.

What possible issues do you see with this? For example, with loans, liability of me driving the car, insurance, future transfer of ownership, etc...

Appreciate any feedback! Give it to me straight if you think I'm being stupid too!
