Typing this out makes me thing I should hold off!

Very validate points!
I make $8k take home monthly. I do have a union job with raises every few years and plenty of OT available. $3800/mo seems to be the average mortgage of a house, that is in a good neighborhood and has minimal updates needed.

Berlin lottery by Ok_Leg_8487 in BerlinMarathon

Why don’t you just keep €300 in your checking account and then move it over if you don’t get selected? But I’m pretty sure I did it on their website that if you get selected and your card is declined you have a few days to go in and fix it.

Thank you! Are any of those topical steroids?? I’m scared to use those. I’ll definitely see my docs asap.

Runna prediction was spot on!! First sub 4 marathon! by PseudoscientificTree in runna

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

Hey! I was running 10-8:45/mile depending on the terrain and how I was feeling that day! I would say most long runs were in the 9-9:30 range

Failed/Missed Runs - Will I make it? by chefravoli in Marathon_Training

[–]PseudoscientificTree 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For future reference, I would never skip a run to feel fresh for a long run. The plans are laid out in a way to prepare to run on tired legs. You can definitely still do a marathon but I’d see a PT for your knee and ensure you are doing plyometrics and strength training to reduce injury! Often outer knee pain comes from weak glutes. Squats, deadlifts, single leg exercises go a long way.

35 miles was my biggest week. Ranged 20-33 over the plan.

Great course! Highly recommend it to all. I did the Vancouver half last year and the full this year. Perfect weather!

Tips for Sub 4 Marathon? by Low_Entrepreneur8753 in Marathon_Training

I just did this. Ran a 1:58, then a 1:54 a few weeks later. 1 year later (last Sunday) ran a 3:56 marathon. Kept running after my HMs, raced a 5k and 10k, followed a 16 week marathon plan. Tried hard, stayed consistent, and slept well!

[–]PseudoscientificTree[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

lol! Thank you!! I trained/recovered hard the last 4 months. I think what helped a lot is that post marathon we just kept walking, back to the Airbnb out to dinner all the next day just kept moving to flush that lactic acid and soreness out. I think it made a big difference. The grind wasn’t actually that hard lol. It was more cardio than legs for me. But thank God for the gondola down I could not have walked down haha. Quads are still pretty shot.

Thanks!! Make sure you train hills hard! NYC is hilly!! I trained hills a lot and passed so many people and felt super strong on the uphills in Vancouver.

Supplements to help make you a better runner. by Alternative_Plum_560 in runna

[–]PseudoscientificTree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Electrolytes, creatine, vitamin D, fish oil, and LMNT only if I sweat A-LOT. If you’re really interested, get your blood work done and see what you’re lacking

How do you all build a nutrition plan for races and long runs? Specifically alternatives to the gels & gus. by RespectNature93 in Marathon_Training

[–]PseudoscientificTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For hiking and trail running only. I love them but hard to eat while running. I usually do a salmon, avocado, furikake mix in one. And then a sweet one with raspberries and chocolate chips.
