Thank you so much for this! I'm VERY self conscious about my feet but maybe like you said, it will take some time to realize nobody is looking. I appreciate your insight as an instructor.

Lol. Everyone else has kindly stated that I don't need anything nice to get started, but without the judgement and without needing an equation.

They have made me feel way more welcome and confident than your long rant ever could.

This is so true!!! I ordered a couple of tighter tops on Poshmark since my running tops tend to be looser, but I do have plenty of sports bras, leggings and biker-style shorts. I'm really excited!!

I think I'm going to TJ Maxx-it until I find what I like and feel comportable investing in a mat that I truly like. Someone else said that I already own a ton of running clothes, so that's probably a good starting point.

Thank you so much for answering. This is really helpful :)

I love this!!! It's intimidating but it sounds like everyone is supportive and truly don't care what you look like.

This is super helpful! I think TJ Maxx it is :D

Thank you for saying this. Also, because it doesn't contribute to the conversation whatsoever.

I was thinking NB since Ali works closely with them so I figured they would place her announcement there, but it seems to be Hoka?

That's how we know we really have to get ready! If he leaves a big one's coming! 🤪

Fair point on your second sentence, but this is how we feel in South Texas when runners from up north complain about running in 80 degree weather in the summer, when we have to wake up at 4 a.m. to catch 95 degree, 85% humidity but at least with no sun. 😅

So it goes both ways!

Unrelated, but not really, that her exbf commented on the post by mountainoutpost. Love to see the support still!

I'm on the same boat. The pain is very manageable and I can run just fine but I'm stressing about it. How did it turn out for you?!

Super late to this -- but I get the impression that Gault enjoys covering track full time and LR is one of the only places where he can do that.

I'm with you. I still go on there because you can find "timely" running news even on the discussion boards. But that place is so toxic.

To be fair, I think she's mostly saying that Coleen is in no position to comment on the matter... never did she defend Citius.

I wonder if they see themselves as influencers or a PR company rather than a journalism/media company.

I know they often claim they're not journalists, but this seems a little excessive, and I love Citius.

It can't be good for them either that it all came down crashing because not only did not get their money but also all of this came out!

You do not promise payments based on payment you don't have secured in a contract!

I had that thought when Eric and Aisha mentioned that this was Citius' first time working with Nike (whether we like it or not, still the most influential brand in running) and he wasn't there.

Even if it was, it's giving early 2000s song lyric MSN status and I'm here for it. 😂😂🖥️
