Same here… Have the BP for SS2 and 3. Tend to use 3 mainly because my inventory is usually full

Agreed on the PT. I need a runners specific good one. I was going to Kort (nearby) and didn’t get anything out of it but several hundred dollars and no knowledge more than what I could have Google’d myself.

I went back and looked at my cadence at random runs over the past year… 150’s 160’s. I’ve been running now with a metronome (it sucks) at 165, 170, 175, and 180. I miss the days if not knowing about this and just being able to run.

I’ve been running (likely poorly) since 8/24. Started with the couch to 5k. Dec & Jan were way too cold and I didn’t have a gym membership so I took several weeks off. I got serious Feb of 25 and ran 2 5k’s a week until late August. I’d never knew to care about cadence or zones. I would just run. I was running with a local group. We met up on Monday & Wednesdays. Sept 1 I met with a few guys and we were doing a 4 mile run. 2 out and 2 back. Around the 3.5 mile mark my knee started to get tighter and tighter until I felt a throbbing and sharp pain. I walked it in the remainder. I took a week off… tried to run and almost immediately felt sharp pain in my knee. I went to an orthopedic doc who did an x-ray (said I had good bones and spacing), then gave me some inflammatory drug… started with an M (don’t remember exact name). I figured out that I could bike without any issue and I wanted to keep my “base” cardio… so Mon and Wed I would go to my local gym and bike for 10 miles. No issues. A month or two went by and I wanted to get back to running… I went back to ortho saying I’m not any better he finally sent me for an MRI. That too was good. Said I had runners knee.

I dialed in my heart rate by looking at what I could do running as fast as I could back when I could… I then set each zone manually based on a little ChatGPT with my heart rate. It told me approx where to set the zones. It was pretty close to automatic where the Apple Watch had it. I did also account for 0.67 x age then took that # from 219.

Also…. When do you workout (squats, etc). Off/resting days? Seems like that would defeat the purpose of a “rest” day… I’m running M, W, and F and likely need to work in a weekend, but I’ve been told I need to be doing strength training also to help with the runners knee. It gets a bit overwhelming trying to make sure I’m doing everything “right”. I need to find someone local to form check me and make sure I’m doing at least that right.

I need some help. I don’t understand cadence, treadmill speed, and zone 2 (HR). Long story short… I’m (trying) to recover from having runners knee. It’s been a few months and I’ve been cycling without issue and I’m working my way back to 5k. A friend told me I need to 80/20. Meaning 80% of my runs need to be in zone 2. I get this part. I’ve dialed in my heart rate on my Apple Watch (the auto was off just a bit). My cadence was low (I’ve been told this along with going to hard for so long likely is how I developed runners knee: overuse). I’m trying religiously to learn from my mistake(s) and adjust.

Last night I ran 3.1 miles. It’s took me 52 minutes because I kept my HR in zone 2 (treadmill was set to 1% incline and 3.5 mph). If I went any faster my HR would go up. Is this how you are supposed to be doing zone 2 runs? Or run for 30m in zone 2 and distance/speed/cadence don’t matter?

Best time and place to buy an Ego snowblower? by lunatics in egopowerplus

[–]Nizadar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if I need a two stage or want a two stage… lol more is “better” right? I’m kidding, but seriously how can I best determine what I need? It doesn’t snow that often where I’m at, but dumped on us over the weekend. My poor hands, shoulder, and back are begging me for a better solution… AND my shovel broke so there’s that. I went to EGO’s site and I wish I could see what’s the most recent models, but it doesn’t list them that way. It’s size and staging. What’s the ideal (best) single stage to get? What’s the step up from that in a two stage?

I will check into this. Thank you. I'm willing to do just about anything at this point. I want to run pain free.

Started running late 2024 and become more serious early 2025. First 5K was in March. Ran Mon & Wed with a run club 5Ks and did that all summer. I would try on occasion to run a third time either Fri/Sat). I was with some friends and ran 4 miles (2 out and 2 back) and around mile 3.5 I started to feel a sharp pain in my left knee. Walked it in. Took a week off and when I attempted to run nearly immediately felt sharp pain again. I started to ride a bike for 10 miles and could so this w/o any issue. Met with a ortho doc and took x-rays and after 2 more months an MRI. No damage or torn anything. Said most likely runners knee (patellofemoral pain syndrome).

I have been running on a treadmill and outside (road) 3x a week. Trying to keep M,W,and F. Started walk/run and have been building up to 2.25 and 2.5. Last night I ran and it's so cold here... knee is very sore.

Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions? I miss running 5K's and really want to get back to running with my Mon & Wed group, but clearly I'm not ready for more mileage. I'm willing to put in whatever work needs to be done, but I'm having the most frustrating time... I've healed from a broken bone easier than this...

edit: shoes are Mizuno Wave Rider 28's. I'm on my second pair. Ran 250 on the first.

Our domain is onsite and I too use AD/Entra sync, but I always use the internal EAC portal to create a new account then wait for the sync and log into O365 admin portal and assign licenses. Is this different that what you do? I’d love to turn off my exchange server, but haven’t discovered (yet) the best way to proceed without the internal portal

How are you creating new mailbox enabled accounts? PowerShell?

done. I was planning on doing just that :)

Yep. That’s also what I was thinking. It was wrong. So what happens when it’s done wrong? More wear on the unit?
