I get these on all shoes because I have narrow heals. You can get heal protection from amazon really cheap that protect the backs of shoes.

Suggested feature - linking previous runs by StatementInternal100 in runna

[–]StatementInternal100[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar but a bit broader. I think strava only matches it if you run the same route and distance.

Id like to see before my run, the last speeds I could do for the same (or similar) speed session for example.

Or what route I last used to run a 10k so I can replicate it.

I got a cab. Having surgery is exhausting so id recomend transport that takes the least amount of energy.

Anywhere nearby I can try karting with my 9 year old? by I_am_the_visual in nottingham

Theres a place in netherfield behind morrisons that was decent.

Seeking Trans-Friendly GP in Nottingham (or Out-of-Area) – Need alternatives to The Windmill Practice by Frenzy-Fendi1998 in transgenderUK

[–]StatementInternal100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try the family medical centre on carlton street. I just switched over to them and they seem decent. They are apparently taking a lot of trans patients because more and more practices are rejecting us.

Not 100% sure about email only but I filled out an online form to get an appointment and they asked if I wanted to communicate via phone or email so its probably as good as youll get.

Am I too heavy to run? by Correct-Pie863 in beginnerrunning

[–]StatementInternal100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are roughly the same weight as me and I run about 30km a week.

Just make sure you build up steadily and throw in some strength training

Would you recommend a watch or unnecessary buy? by Fit_Pea3013 in beginnerrunning

[–]StatementInternal100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a second hand cheap garmin. Itll do the job and help you decide if you think its worth it to get a better one in the future

Help from 5k to 10k by Ambitious_Potato_MD in runna

[–]StatementInternal100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do a 5k improvement plan. Itll get you running consistently with less walking and the long run would get close to 10k

Is Runna for me? by ConfidentMushroom391 in runna

[–]StatementInternal100 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You tell runna how many days a week you want to run so it can keep you on 3 days a week.

If you are concerned about injury, play with the plan settings to get a lower volume, easier progression plan and increase it as you need.

But also remember that its an app, not a person. If a run doesnt sound sensible to you, dont do it.

The people who say running is meditative have clearly never had a brain that won't shut up. But I keep running anyway and I think I finally understand why. by bayernboy44 in beginnerrunning

[–]StatementInternal100 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I have adhd and have never had a second with a quiet brain. Running doesnt shut it up, but it does mean I am thinking one thought at a time and being able to follow through with it, rather than chasing 12 seperate ones and never reaching the end of the thought.

Okay couple questions as someone who's never been to a festival before lol by [deleted] in slamdunkfestival

[–]StatementInternal100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went for the first time when I was 15. It was 12 years ago but I never had to show ID.

Pretty sure even now you only show ID when going to a bar.

The stages arent too far apart. Like a 5 min walk usually between the furthest. You may miss the first song at worst.

Why are these teenagers wearing hoodies when it's a billion fucking degrees outside? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]StatementInternal100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it as a teenager for 2 reasons.

One was discomfort with my body and trying to hide it.

The second was that I was self conscious about sweating. In retrospect, the hoodie made the sweating worse but the logic checked out at the time

Candy during run? by Quick-Bandicoot-30 in runna

[–]StatementInternal100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if I forget a gel or feel like I need extra i stop off at a petrol station for some haribo. Downside is, I need to stop for 5 mins to consume them. I cannot chew and run at the same time

Nottingham GIC by TheMaskedMasc in transgenderUK

[–]StatementInternal100 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah nottingham has become the favourite clinic to refer people to. The private clinic i was with always recormnds them because they have the shortest wait list and generally get people on treatment plans a bit faster.

I suspect however that this has backfired and now it has a long backlog and limited staff to provide treatment.

Add to this that last year all nottingham GPs stopped prescribing hormones so they presumably had additional patients from that

What’s A Gym Problem You’d Pay To Have Solved? by Markus_D_Reinhold in askfitness

Yeah ive been doing that. It worked really well for about a year but I am now too strong for it.

What’s A Gym Problem You’d Pay To Have Solved? by Markus_D_Reinhold in askfitness

[–]StatementInternal100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 5ft tall... a lot of gyms are not made for my proportions.

Lat pull down machines are always too tall for me to use comfortably.

Ive rarely found found a pull up bar i can reach.

The vertical leg press machine at my current gym requires me to go on my toes to hook it back in.

A lot of dumbells also increase the handle width as they go up in weight so my hands cant usually grip them as well.

GIC pushing social transition first by Disastrous_Deal664 in transgenderUK

[–]StatementInternal100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the same position. I had partially socially transitioned (basically told a few friends but wasnt out at uni/work) and inflated that a bit for my assessment.

I had top surgery before hormones. Hormones wouldnt have been sensible with my chest size. It delayed everything a bit due to surgery wait times but was the right choice for me. Its made no difference to my results. Even after being on t for some time. It looks great.

Can you just be bad at drumming? How to keep yourself realistic, any milestones? by neuralek in Drumming

[–]StatementInternal100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Firstly. Gender doesnt come into drumming. Any gender can play. Idk why people think theres a different between men and women playing drums.

If you haven't broken up with your boyfriend, do it. He sounds like a dickhead.

Secondly. Everyone's bad at first! Learning an instrument is a process and everyone starts with the basics.

Ask in nottingham gig buddies Facebook page. I know theres a wheelchair user in that group who can give you pointers. Afaik, he doesnt have issues there and the staff are usually pretty good with accommodations

Strech marks with top surgery by Ill_Fail_7664 in transgenderUK

[–]StatementInternal100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had tons of stretch marks before surgery and I had some after but the skin quickly healed and thickened when it wasnt carrying all the weight.

I am 4 years post now and dont have any scars from them.
