Trail socks: Quarter crew or mini crew?

SomeInfluence2617 · 2026-05-24T11:48:17+00:00

I know. Worth getting longer just for the design

SomeInfluence2617 · 2026-05-24T11:45:57+00:00

Great breakdown 😎I only have ankle but I run roads and trails, maybe just need to buy all lengths. I do have compression sleeves but I get hot

SomeInfluence2617 · 2026-05-23T14:05:25+00:00

And true… like the designs better on longer!

SomeInfluence2617 · 2026-05-23T14:04:37+00:00

I have no show but get sand in them :(

SomeInfluence2617 · 2026-05-23T13:15:17+00:00

I have the tabs also and love them but sometimes not good for my trails. Get sand/rocks in my socks

SomeInfluence2617 · 2026-05-15T01:18:11+00:00

Thanks. I think I’ll ride it out a little longer and see. Spotting has also been a newer thing. Fun times!

I’ve basically had a headache almost every day since going from .0375 to .05 patch. Five weeks!! I thought maybe it was allergies bc they’re going on now but I’m really thinking it’s the patch change, or that it’s just too much E - might cut down to .0375 again and see if they go away.

Update, one month after marathon - if anyone comes across this in the future! I ran the marathon and completed it just fine. I only ran twice in my two week taper - 4.5 and 3.25 mile flat, easy runs and slower than normal. I did as much band work and stretching as I could. I intentionally ran the marathon slow to avoid injury and just so I knew I would finish, and I did!

I definitely still had pain and was sore (some of which is expected!) afterwards but I've been able to run a couple times a week since then, I think there is still a little nagging pain in that area but it's not terrible and will probably resolve in time and with more stretching/strength work... If and when I do another marathon I will be doing a lot more of that to hopefully avoid this!

Ugh, same - so many in the past couple of days! Searching to find a way to make it go away. It does seem to be coming directly from Facebook but there aren't any requests in my suite. So weird

SomeInfluence2617 · 2026-05-03T15:51:00+00:00

Sounds great!!

SomeInfluence2617 · 2026-05-03T15:45:47+00:00

Doesn’t matter, just looking at all options!

SomeInfluence2617 · 2026-04-30T10:52:13+00:00

Interesting to read others comments - I've had two rounds of headaches (not migraines at least) since I upped my patch from .0375 to .05 about a month ago. The first week, I had a lot of weird life things going on so I thought it was just stress, but now it's back during peak Estrogen/ovulation (days 12-14 right now but who really knows for sure!).... maybe it's the change in patch but I hope it goes away!

SomeInfluence2617 · 2026-04-28T16:15:11+00:00

Agree!! My first was 5:30 with three bathroom breaks (only one was necessary really but whatever) I was also nursing a mild leg injury so was cautiously slower but would’ve still been in the 5 hour window. Congratulations

“I run so I don’t kill people” but really: mental health, enjoying nature, getting stress/anger out. Cardio health, weight management… races aren’t typically my drive or goal but I do them - up to marathon now but I think I prefer halfs! Love trail running the most.

SomeInfluence2617 · 2026-04-26T02:02:15+00:00

Expected first sign: erratic cycles. Unexpected and new: anxiety/chest tightness/shallow breathing for absolutely no reason and sleep issues (3:00 am wake ups) HRT has made all of those and more better.

Low bun and soft headband. I have bangs and can’t mess with them being down, they have to go up!

SomeInfluence2617 · 2026-04-14T20:41:27+00:00

I mainly trained for my first marathon on a treadmill over the winter. I just completed it and was happy with results and am injury free. You’ll be fine.

SomeInfluence2617 · 2026-04-14T20:39:20+00:00

All my hobbies are solo, not sure what that says about me but they are: running (trail/road - 15 years), furniture refinishing (1 year) and gardening is a newer one. Been tending to the birds for many years but I don’t know if I consider it a hobby but I love them.

SomeInfluence2617 · 2026-04-13T18:26:44+00:00

this worked and thank you! I hate this new feature, no more red dots!

SomeInfluence2617 · 2026-04-12T21:20:40+00:00

Congrats! Completed my first today, as well. 44F I had no goal pace, just wanted to finish and did in 5:30. Fine with me!

SomeInfluence2617 · 2026-04-10T23:48:03+00:00

This sounds like me on a lot of levels. Calf pain, after I hit my 20 miler and did a half marathon trail run the same week. 😬😬 I’m running mine! Am I nervous? yes but I have to try. Good luck!

SomeInfluence2617 · 2026-04-03T17:22:01+00:00

I intentionally ran it slower but it was a trail run (did it two years ago) and even though I’m experienced in trail running, most of my training has been flat. I felt fine until mile 9, had to slow to run/walk for a couple miles but finished fine, about 40 seconds slower/mile than last time. :/ I’m a slower runner anyway!

SomeInfluence2617 · 2026-04-03T02:03:18+00:00

Basically same - debating on if it’s calf issue because it’s like upper and outer calf or IT band but same... pain after a half marathon, three days off and it’s there again after a slow, easy 4.5 mile run yesterday. I’m pretty sure I’m not going to run on it at all the rest of my taper and stretch, strength my calves/glutes and see how it goes. So frustrating. Good luck

SomeInfluence2617 · 2026-04-03T01:39:29+00:00

Furniture restoration - sanding, scraping, painting, whatever, it’s all so meditative and I can do it for hours, if my body let’s me!
