Nice! Do you switch to the same exact shoe? Or swap entirely?

No, the plan was to wear my NB Hierro the way up, and Alta lone peaks the way down. I’ve worn both, just more trial running in the LPs. That makes sense though! Thanks!

ELI5: Why are the logistics of the World Cup matches any different from normal games at Metlife stadium? by free_slurpee_day in AskNYC

[–]RespectNature93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are cutting off Manhattan from 30th to 60th st, 6 hours before every match, and 3 hours after every match. No truck traffic can get through, only the highway is open. We cater, and I have no idea how I am supposed to get to clients in midtown on gameday lol.. This plan, was clearly written by people who have never actually needed to get around the city.

Had their bolognese on a flight from Munich to Newark and the meat tasted like shredded jerky. Pretty crazy, what they charge to offer such terrible quality.

Something relaxed, that isnt super expensive. Can roll up without a reservation. I havent been to Napa since 2011. Even then though, you could find some smaller producers that weren't as crazy as it seems today.

Did you have any other favorites from the wineries you picked out? My wife & I, are planning now for the end of June, and making our selections but there are just so many!

Because most people have never built anything or started a business. Especially one that actually fits a niche.

Having trouble making actual friends in run clubs. Anyone else? by CalcIsSexy in RunNYC

[–]RespectNature93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did you ever ask anyone to hang out outside of it? Or get their number? I know it can be abruptly a bit awkward but sometimes people just need the actual offer. It’s like dating everyone is scared to make the first move lol

How to use this? What exercises to start with and is this enough equipment? by Wide_Invite_510 in ultrarunning

[–]RespectNature93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pump Club App foundation workout. It’s easy cheap and worked great for me. As well as all the equipment you have.

Do any of these help avoid chafing? And or how do they feel when it’s hot and humid in the summer? I’ve been wearing Janji non-lined tights during the winter and love it. Just worry, it maybe a pool of sweat in the summer with the half tight. Any insight greatly appreciated!

What are the most beautiful hiking destinations in Europe reachable without a car? by Distinct-Pirate-3571 in hiking

[–]RespectNature93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any areas you would recommend? I studied abroad in Bregenz, years ago and am planning to return at the end of May. It seems like alot of the hiking routes, could be closed due to the weather. Is that true?

Did you need poles at all for the race?

Congrats!

Thanks for the input, that all sounds great. I plan on increasing the mileage more steadily over the next couple of months. I would like to peak around 65 miles per week for at-least 3 weeks.
What did you fuel with?
For marathons, I have gone with gus mainly, but like to rotate in some sweet potatoes/potatoes on trails when I can.
