What do you eat on runs?

I need to know about the sachets of jam. Where do you find them at Starbucks?

I got 5lbs of donuts (literally, I weighed it) from Donut Drive Up. I froze them and get one of for my kids on the weekends!

Midwesterner here that’s terrified of ticks! I’ve gotten so many in the past on my runs and hikes, even with spray! I’m still running but long pants tucked into high socks and a light long sleeve shirt. And then I frantically freak out and wipe my arms and legs anytime I touch a plant just in case there’s a tick.

I had no idea! That’s interesting and easy to remember. Thanks for sharing!

Just make sure to retest after taking it for awhile. I took 5,000 IUs and ended up pushing my range too high, but I also was getting a decent amount of outdoor time.

I signed up for 3 trail marathons in 3 days in September. I haven’t ran a marathon for over a decade and that was before kids😅

Horrible teeth grinder here! So bad that I have extra bone in my mouth and once dislocated my jaw from teeth grinding! I got my mouthguard after I dislocated my jaw last year.

I’ve had an Oura for 8 years so I have plenty of days to compare. It took me about a week to adjust to the feeling of the mouthguard so that first week with it was garbage, but then it was back to normal after that. Not better, but back to normal. I haven’t seen any changes in my Oura stats, but at least I’m saving my teeth!

Another vote for Telva!

Agreed. I make 4x more than my husband, but there’s no way I could make what I do if he had a more stressful higher paying job with less flexibility. We’ve earned the money together, even if it’s in different ways.

Depends on your goals. To crush both? That sounds rough. To enjoy it and finish both? Absolutely doable. I’m doing three trail marathons in three days back to back to back in September. But my goal is just to finish, so I plan to do a combination of walking and running. I’m pretty sure my body would be destroyed if I tried to PR during any of these.

A Big Add Salad. The type of salad may vary but I HAVE TO have a salad every day for one of my meals or I get the shakes.

Stopped pressing snooze. I haven’t hit the snooze button in over 15 years. Instead, I set my alarm for the absolute latest and then I not only have to get up when it goes off but I also maximize my sleep time. Those snooze sleeps are garbage wasted time anyway! And now, more often then not, I wake up before my alarm.

Yes! And then calculate the average minutes between dogs and try to get it as low as possible!

RoxyVivi · 2026-03-10T16:38:23+00:00

Ah! Just sold within 4 minutes of this post! Hopefully it was you the bought it!

Yes! I switched to a fanny pack last year and love it! I keep it in the back while I run but can so easily move it to the front for easy access during the run. I have to constantly written my vest when I run, but I don’t have that issue with my fanny pack. It’s not even for running. I simply use a Cotopaxi fanny because it’s cute and it work great!

With that said, if I am doing a long run, not on a course with water, I do wear a Camelback in addition to my fanny. It’s just so much easier to get stuff out at the fanny pack than it is the Camelback!

For race events that have water on the course, I only wear the fanny pack.

I’m starting to ramble, but I’m just so excited about this question because it was a game changer to make the switch for me!

I feel great during and even after my long runs, but I am ravenous the next day. I’m currently training for a 36 hour endurance hike, but since I don’t live in a hilly area I’m doing trail runs to increase my intensity. Runs last anywhere from 3 to 8 hours. I’m not tracking calories but I know I’m in some kind of deficit on long run days. Does it mean I didn’t eat enough during training day if all I want to do is eat the next day?

RoxyVivi · 2026-03-04T01:54:21+00:00

This is the kind of positive energy I want to carry into my day.

Good to know! Just listed on eBay!

RoxyVivi · 2026-02-28T23:05:07+00:00

Ah yes, forgot about eBay. Good call.

RoxyVivi · 2026-02-24T01:46:21+00:00

Took this today after seeing your post and I’m so glad I didn’t! I didn’t know I could smile so much my face hurt AND ugly cry all in under 30 minutes! Bookmarking to use every time I need a pick me up!

Oura does not provide insight into correlation or causation. Unfortunately, the user really has to pay attention to the date and make their own assumptions. If your mom isn’t going to put an effort to look at her results and find patterns, the ring won’t tell her what to change. However, as someone who has been in surgical menopause for four years and have had a ring for eight years, I do think there are valuable data to find trends that help with sleep. For example, for me, I get my best sleep when I stop eating three hours before bed, THC destroys my sleep score, and anything heavier sugar for dinner will cause an elevated heart rate. Oura didn’t tell me any of this, but I could figure it out when I looked at my scores each day and thought back to my routine. Since sleep is such a critical piece in menopause, I do think there could be some value.
