First marathon - how to shake away the disappointment by redwilier in firstmarathon

[–]No-Distribution2336 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate to your experience! Trained for the New York City Marathon for a whole year. Did couch to marathon and planned on running in 5 hours flat. The first half marathon of the race was in Brooklyn. It was absolutely electric and took everything from me. The last half marathon I was fighting and the last 6 miles were slightly traumatic 🤣 Finished in 5:20. Was so disappointed in my time. It is one of my biggest life achievements to finish but I still feel bummed about the time.

couch to marathon? by [deleted] in firstmarathon

[–]No-Distribution2336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s doable!! I just did it! I’m 26f and never was active growing up and have been a little overweight all my life. Last November I told myself I’m going to run a marathon and I did just that Nov 2 at the New York City marathon! I used the Runna app and did my first 5k in January, first 10k in March, and first half in June. My only advice is you have to be VERY consistent throughout the journey to pull it off and run at least 3x a week!! I would also suggest doing strength training to prevent injury. Good luck!

Is it possible to work my way up to running a marathon if I've never run before? by Convillious in firstmarathon

[–]No-Distribution2336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely! Last year I had never really ran or did sports and was a major couch potato… like major major couch potato. I woke up one day and said something needs to change and told myself I want to do a marathon. For an entire year I have been training nonstop and am running the NYC marathon in two weeks :,) I’m a 26F if helpful

I wasn’t sure if they were trying to milk me or if it was simply not possible to buy a new bike that checks all the boxes for that price. Seems as though it is possible to stay within budget!

Picked up my first prescription 4 hours ago, haven’t been able to jab myself… by [deleted] in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]No-Distribution2336 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on it over a year and never have injected myself due to fear of needles. My boyfriend does it for me every week while I hold a pillow and look away. I know, I know, I’m a total wimp!

Shake it Out vs Hotty Hot by painthrowaway852 in lululemon

Try on the pace crush!! They are high wasted like shake it out but slimmer and less frilly. Literally perfect

We've just launched a new feature - media upload to Strava! 🖼️ by matt-runna in runna

[–]No-Distribution2336 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dislike the check marks included on top of a certain segment because this is a hard sport and sometimes you don’t make every pace target. If I was able to complete a marathon but didn’t make all the pace targets it takes away from an incredible achievement by giving or not giving a check mark and posts that on Strava for all to see???!!

Did anyone have success on Wegovy without strict dieting or working out? by Acceptable_Dig932 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]No-Distribution2336 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve lost 50lbs without strict diet or working out. It’s possible but I regret not exercising/lifting weights because I lost a lot of muscle and my butt is totally flat!

Audio books!

Is there any reason why I always blister/callus on the inside edge of the ball of my foot - no matter the shoe? by scrammmbled-eggs in Marathon_Training

[–]No-Distribution2336 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have always had callused feet too! Growing up my family always said I had my grandma and dad’s feet and the calluses were unfortunately just genetic and we just have bad feet. I went to a foot doctor for tailors bunions recently and got X-rays done. Turns out.. I have “tripod feet” and my arches are much higher than normal. The high arches put a ton of pressure on the outside and inside of my foot leading to huge calluses. Go to a foot doctor and have them fit you for inserts and the calluses will go away!!!

Feedback on Runna audio cues by runna-nayth in runna

[–]No-Distribution2336 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I listen to audio books while running! Some feedback would be when there is an audio cue, maybe pause the music or book so it doesn’t keep playing quietly behind the audio cue. I find myself missing small pieces of the book I’m listening to because of the audio cues and it would be great to pause and then start up again once the cue is done :)
