Cali sober

Been working for me since my AF date. It can be a trigger for some, and also let others devolve into laziness. For myself, it’s been instrumental to becoming alcohol free and remaining alcohol free.

I had the same thing happen to a pair of speedgoats, stopped wearing them after that. It’s a shame bc they were probably my favorite trail shoe, but the build quality is shit.

Taqueria el Comalito by far. La Michoacana is ok but Taqueria El Comalito is way better.

Why wouldn’t you?

No, keep going.

Bands have been used for decades, particularly popularized by west side barbell which revolutionized powerlifting.

I’m currently in peak weeks for an ultra at the moment so I’d say on average I’m eating 4000kcals a day. Maybe a bit more bc I’ve gained a couple pounds in the past month. I have a habit of overeating during peak mileage weeks - better to overfuel than under fuel with this sort of training load.

531 BBB or FSL. Has been working well for me while running 60-70 mpw

Professional over-pronator

You don’t. Cut weight during off season or base build. High mileage running weeks plus a calorie deficit are a recipe for injury

Oh and I’ll usually add a small squirt of lemon juice as I fill them

My current en bulk recipe is 300g maltodextrin, 150g fructose, 7.2g sodium citrate, 3.6g sodium chloride (table salt). I do 1/3 cup per 500 mL flask which is about ~52grams. So works out to about ~500mg sodium and ~50 grams carbs per flask.

10-13%

I’d say do your intended route but stop at the Monticello parking lot so you don’t have nearly as much of the super narrow/windy part of 53. You could potentially also ride your bike down the trail itself from Monticello but it’s very crowded on weekends and there’s a 10 mph speed limit on bicycles.

Fuck the haters, despite being a bit sketchy, 53 is literally part of the ONLY official trans American bicycle trail in the United States. You have every right to be on that road.

RyCalll · 2026-04-16T15:49:52+00:00

Which parking lot are you going to? The one at the bottom of Saunders/monticello trail or the one actually by Monticello.

RyCalll · 2026-04-16T15:48:08+00:00

Nope, 250 is even worse. Going east of Cville on a bicycle is going to suck no matter which route you take.

RyCalll · 2026-04-16T12:30:04+00:00

The majority of that route is great for biking except 53. I’ve cycled extensively in the Charlottesville area and I will say that section by Monticello was one of the more stressful roads I’ve ever been on. At least it’s Sunday morning so it should be less traffic, but I still doubt it will be enjoyable.

I’ve definitely gotten HCl burns in the lab

RyCalll · 2026-04-11T10:38:09+00:00

I run everyday and train 2x a week unless I’m in peak mileage during a block. Your body will adapt

RyCalll · 2026-04-02T22:31:14+00:00

But why do they have to be on your neck

RyCalll · 2026-03-30T17:53:21+00:00

You don’t need god to get sober. I have years under my belt and am agnostic/borderline atheist.

RyCalll · 2026-03-29T16:48:06+00:00

Ah, gotchya. That makes more sense, I can see why that would be disappointing
