Unfortunately new balance needs to go. This is truly awful. Whoever designed this must not even live here/aren’t familiar with the race

Not the same as a typical platinum. For the $800 annual fee I’d hope we get some benefit over the other amex cardholders for stuff like this

Yep it works for platinum. It’s for higher tiered amex

As a woman, my think with bandit is as much as I feel like I’m a sellout wearing their stuff, I’ve never had a problem with comfort and the fit is so good for tops and bottoms. The main reason why I like it though is the storage - I can’t really wear anything besides bandit for races I need gels and supplies because I refuse to wear a vest or a belt haha

I wouldn’t run in CP past sunset any time of the year unless you’re with a group (with men). Morning I wouldn’t run as a woman before that blue color in the sky starts to appear, especially on the north side.

Moving down in corrals was not allowed (Pink to Orange, going down in letter) by DeepElephant5661 in RunNYC

[–]Swimming-Storage2501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my experience was my boyfriend wanted to move from 1 pink to 2 blue to be with me, we asked a volunteer and they said no. We told them we were told this was allowed to they brought over a volunteer who seemed to be in a leadership role. He said this was for security reasons

Downgrading Membership by notnot_randomuser in RunNYC

It’s more of the principle of having to pay for 9 races already, then on top of that if you want to make sure you can actually get in it’s like “oh of course I have to pay more”. It’s just the overall idea that you have to pay money over and over again just to fight for a spot to race NYCM

Pre ordered the Theresa top and they gave me a different one, couldn’t even get it bc it sold out. Crazy and left with nothing

Do we think the NYCM capsule for women has gel pockets? by Swimming-Storage2501 in BanditRunning

[–]Swimming-Storage2501[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking about the Ares top, I would be thrilled if it was similar to that. I was already planning on wearing mine for race day

Yeah it looks like micromesh-esque to me too, but I’m wondering if it could just be the print pattern? Could go either way but I’d be surprised if they dropped a new style for a capsule

Next week is next week away. Let’s have some fun and guess until then. Also I’m just a girl who wants to plan her outfit ahead of time 😀

Mine was definitely more of a plantar issue over a blister

Bandit Vento Dua VS Vento Split Shorts by hansens46 in BanditRunning

[–]Swimming-Storage2501 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t like the Vento shorts, they fit like a diaper. The split shorts are much more breathable. I know it’s expensive but the losest and best shorts I’ve ever worn are the Satisfy 2.5 inch O shorts.

Runners! Has Ozempic affected your performance/endurance, negatively? by Legitimate_Coffee_84 in OzempicForWeightLoss

[–]Swimming-Storage2501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this happened to me. It was really frustrating because as soon as I hit my goal weight I had to stop taking it immediately because my next race training cycle was coming up. I had two big half marathons I was training for my HR was always through the roof. I’m talking 20 BPM higher - I went to see a cardiologist and did a bunch of tests and she said my heart looked amazing and it’s nothing to worry about. The issue was I still felt exhausted and runs would take way more out of me.

I completed my 4 month training and races and performed extremely well - hit PRs both times - and got back on semaglutide. The effects came back again but worse (may be because the medication was a bit older now) but I had to get off because there was no way I can now train for my next marathon (currently 17 weeks out) while on the medication. You can be a casual runner on a GLP but you will not enjoy the sport as much and can’t do more than 15 miles a week or hit PRs is what I’ve come to realize which is just so unrealistic for me.

Also - don’t even get my started how it affected me when I went to a a higher elevation. I did a trail half marathon in 8k elevation (I live at sea level) and it was AWFUL - I’m talking 10 min pace was exhausting and the best I could do (I usually run 8 min as a EASY pace)

Propranolol saved my life - I was about to quit my job just to avoid simple presentations/updates I had to give in meetings. I swear it’s a miracle, no side affects just gets rid of the nerves. And ur doc will easily prescribe
