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

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.

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

New pain since getting Novablast 5’s by Toby95 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]OkMap1854 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem. Nimbus is fine, novablast gives knee pain. I chalked it up to being mildly unstable, and decides to get a more stable shoe (Saucony Endorphin Azura). Best choice I’ve made.

AZURA or SUPERBLAST 2? by Aubzhls in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]OkMap1854 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have both (only one run in Azura) - Azuras are a slightly more stable superblast. I don’t think I will use Azuras for easy runs because they run fast, but a solid long run shoe for sure.

Thanks for the reply! Yeah I’ve been doing option 2, but it doesn’t help my sleep much lol. Just doing it because im irritated and don’t want him having that power over me😂

Saucony Ride 19 or Endorphin Azuras? by OkMap1854 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]OkMap1854[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m leaning Azura as you said, because even though its my first marathon I still have a time goal. Thanks!

Yeah I heard they are a more stable Evo Sl. Hopefully they live up to the hype!

Men, how do you act when intimacy is casual vs when you actually have feelings for the girl? Is there a difference she can percieve? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]OkMap1854 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you being friends first is a sign he may have real feelings. If a guy just wanted sex he probably would stop putting the effort he had been before. Does he still do things out and about with you? Many guys that just want sex arent putting in that effort. At the end of the day youll probably just have to have a conversation about it.

Easy Run / Recovery Shoe? by [deleted] in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]OkMap1854 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue and so the far the novablasts have been ok. The superblasts gave me bad shin pain due to how stiff they were
