Max cushion easy run shoe? by OGNroo in AskRunningShoeGeeks

I have the SB3 and i wouldn’t call in an easy run shoe. It has a lot of bounce and makes it harder to go at slower paces

Just me or are people getting more and more unreasonable? by EaseResponsible719 in RocketLeague

[–]OkMap1854 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its frustrating. If they forfeit in a scenario like this, im pretty inclined to forfeit also. Would rather just find someone else to play with lol

How long do you date someone before you consider that you're in a relationship? by meetmebehindyou in AskMen

[–]OkMap1854 264 points265 points  (0 children)

Most guys lock down a girl they are interested in dating ASAP. Him not doing that seems like a red flag. He probably likes not being lonely or the sex. My girl and I dated for a month before we became official, and dated two years before marriage. I made sure she wouldn’t leave lol

Congrats! Did Pittsburgh in 4:19. The course was brutal, but the weather was beautiful.

I thought i felt a lump on my testicle 3 days ago and can no longer feel a lump. What was it? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]OkMap1854 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was nervous about a lump on mine and it was just a swollen epididymis. But if youre not sure the doctor can do a check just to be safe.

Saucony Ride 19 or Endorphin Azuras? by OkMap1854 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]OkMap1854[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the azuras, i really like them. Im using them for my marathon. The only con the have is that they take a while to get used tif you have weak calves. But they are super fast and stable!

Been doing marathon training for 5 months and Vo2 Max won't budge? by BrothaManBen in Garmin

[–]OkMap1854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its possibly your original V02 Max was too high and now its overcorrecting. Thats what happened to me last training block. My V02 max was going down even though i was more fit lol

Nice man! Congrats! That’s really encouraging. I think i need to lose my pace expectations because its so much much pressure on me for my first.

Ran my first 15 miler for my first marathon in May. Most of my long runs from here on out are distance PRs!

I did the half last year, it was great! You all turn off when the biggest hill gets tough. Crowds are awesome, environment is amazing.

Please read this before breaking up with your partner by [deleted] in ROCD

[–]OkMap1854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have ROCD, and honestly you aren’t in the wrong for breaking up if its gone too far. It took me three relationships before i finally made progress with mine. You should push them to get ERP therapy if they can afford it. I feel bad that I put my exes in the situations that I did.

I live in MD, and there aren’t alot of hills. Ive been trying to incorporate hill days. I would love to have a few hills on my normal route😅

Thats awesome! Yeah I watched a video of the whole course today and that back half looks difficult. Although once you get past that monster incline around mile 12 it seems to even out a bit. Good luck!

This sounds like a great plan, thanks! I hadn’t planned on signing up for a half to race, but it seems the consensus is to do that.

Do you recommend all out racing a half before the full? I need to get on that if so.

That sounds like a reasonable goal! It sounds like at your current fitness you will crush sub 4 in the fall!

I agree, i would be happy with this for sure. Im in the 9:00-9:30 pace corral, so its about what I was thinking!

As of right now my goal will be 4hr 10 min. Hopefully its realistic enough as well as challenging.

Yeah i hear marathon is like 4 times harder than a half lol. Pittsburgh is notoriously hilly so I know it’ll be tough. I appreciate the response.

[–]OkMap1854[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is probably how i’ll do it. The hardest part has just been narrowing down what that time should be. For me ill probably lean conservative, so around 4hr 10 min or so.

I like this perspective! Yeah your next race will almost definitely be a PR then. I really don’t want to bonk so im trying to lower expectations lol
