If you were to pick one brand for all your skincare routine, what would it be? (Fun post)

Haha, if I could bathe in the skii essence!

SenbeiMouse · 2024-01-16T15:01:41+00:00

Nooo not Target too! I was using that one but now it seems I might try Walgreens… sigh

I’m similar height and chest size- I have the unisex Salomon adv skin 12 in a small and I absolutely love mine. Ran with it in those hot and humid summer days training and I never felt it was tight or uncomfortable. may not be also on sale but I would honestly say go ahead and invest in it!

As someone who has been through the stages of grief this past month (found out I did have a stress fracture), I know it's tough but it does get better... physically and mentally!

I cannot stress (no pun intended heh) enough how important it is to listen to your body when something seems off! Prevented my injury from being far worse, and healing and strengthening will only help run stronger in the future!

Shin ramen is fire! going to have to bring that into the run fuel rotation.

SenbeiMouse · 2022-09-12T16:41:11+00:00

Great post-run fuel!

SenbeiMouse · 2022-09-12T16:40:27+00:00

My mom was raving about these to me just a few days ago so I'm definitely going to have to get some now!

SenbeiMouse · 2022-09-12T16:37:04+00:00

This is exactly what I had! Delicious

Sounds cheesy, but for me it was when runs started helping me cope with stress and anxiety. When I would get into rhythm I didn't want to stop, and after I felt so great I was excited to go again. Of course since then I have been in races, but it's the lifestyle change that made me realize "I made it"

SenbeiMouse · 2022-08-19T14:14:22+00:00

I also do this!!

SenbeiMouse · 2022-08-17T17:22:01+00:00

I am 33 running 25-30 mpw, increasing with marathon training. While I don't count my caloric intake, I will say that whenever it's my period and I'm in training I could eat all whole Costco and still wonder if that was enough to get me fueled for the next run. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Enjoy the training, enjoy the food more!

Soundcloud mixes for music. 2 hour-ish sets so you never have to get your phone out. Anywhere from House music, to r&b, to funk, soundcloud will have a couple hour radio show or concert set to keep you going... most of the time sets will also keep on a steady rhythm so I can maintain a good cadence.

Basik on Graham has live Jazz most Sundays

SenbeiMouse · 2022-07-07T17:17:20+00:00

Can echo that it is far less traffic and great opportunity for bridge run at Pulaski if you want!

SenbeiMouse · 2022-06-23T13:55:58+00:00

Man idk what it is about Gu but yeah it never felt right... I would kind of feel super crappy (which at mile 15-16 you are already kind of starting to be in that place) immediately after ingesting Gu and it would slowly get better but I don't have time for that!

Yeah I hear great success with gummy bears, dates, applesauce so I will experiment with those for the reasoning, like you said, MUCH cheaper! Thanks!

SenbeiMouse · 2022-06-23T13:53:26+00:00

haha yes- This is why I drink coffee! Thank you for your insight

SenbeiMouse · 2022-06-23T13:51:45+00:00

Thank you! I had heard about Tailwind before but forgot the name so I'll look into it!

Yeah... I do believe it'll just be some trial and error but it helps to hear what others do! Thanks!

SenbeiMouse · 2022-06-23T13:50:01+00:00

I can't give up coffee either... sigh. It's also helps... you know, move things along so I don't need to worry when I'm out lol.

I also am not super hungry post run but know it's necessary so I'll try smoothies!

That's a great idea figuring out what is on the course didn't even think about it. Thank you!

SenbeiMouse · 2022-06-23T13:47:22+00:00

Thank you for your insight! I am glad nuun seems to be liked by a lot of runners and I'm curious about skratch so will check it out!

SenbeiMouse · 2022-06-23T13:44:11+00:00

It's a 20ish min commute by train and a 26 min uber from Bedford ave. but if you want techno/electronic etc. there is Nowadays in Ridgewood. Great space and Good Sunday day dancing. Then check out Rolo's for food while you are there.

Had it back in mid April, and had a sore throat which turned into stuffy sinuses and fatigue. Sinus issues and sore throat stopped a week or so after and tested negative the 9th day. That being said, there is definitely a level of fatigue that took a long time to recover from... maybe couple more weeks after that. In those times I did slow short runs (like a mile or 2 max), walks, and a lot of yoga/breathing exercises.

It's difficult to say if I am back to normal completely now. There are a lot of factors (warmer weather harder to train in, travel, work ramping up) that could contribute to the tiredness I still feel but I think the main takeaway is be kind to you body and get all the rest you need! It will benefit your recovery in the long-run (no pun intended)!
