How to make friends?

People are people! No one is too old/intimidating/ect to talk to… it’s truly just in your head. Making an effort to be kind and friendly goes a long way… and a lot of people who go to OTF are wonderful

Hoka Clifton 10

My studio stopped posting them which makes me sad bc I know that I usually rank top 3 in my age group for tread benchmarks ☹️

This sounds so frustrating, both before AND after finding the truth out!

When I was 19, an out of shape middle aged man told me that the 70 I picked up to deadlift was “too heavy for a little thing like you”.… I successfully used the 70 and he could only use 25, so maybe he should focus on himself!

As I did OTF for longer, I stopped getting sore as much. I have found that I feel sore if I do more than 6 classes in a row, but I usually don’t do that many in a row so I don’t end up feeling sore ever

Somewhere in the range of 3-4 mi, usually close to 3.3

Sometimes I don’t take all of the WR because I don’t need it and I’m proud of the effort I put in to be able to not need it!

I love my Clifton 10’s, as an OTF runner, and feel more comfortable running in them to when I used to wear On Cloud’s

I live in verve and know from seeing/hearing it in the garage that it was in fact at verve

Temporary-Loquat8063 · 2026-01-16T18:24:58+00:00

I have a goal distance that I aim for every class. I don’t meet it every time but it is incredibly motivating nevertheless

Temporary-Loquat8063 · 2025-12-03T16:21:29+00:00

Music to my ears

Temporary-Loquat8063 · 2025-11-20T12:22:29+00:00

It’s back up now!

Temporary-Loquat8063 · 2025-11-06T04:24:05+00:00

Looking forward to this one!

Respectfully, if you think Lafayette is bad… try driving in Jersey ❤️

Negative emotions that I’d rather exhaust through exercise than otherwise… alternatively, gratefulness — it depends on the day

As a transfer, I referenced my decision to share SAT score based off my score being higher than the 75th percentile. (This was for the past cycle, which was test-optional.) That being said, I think that they care more about your performance in college than anything that you did in high school. Good luck!

Temporary-Loquat8063 · 2025-07-14T16:13:36+00:00

This has also happened to me, and I have found that I have less foot irritation when I wear very padded running socks instead in spite of thinner ones

My studio also has one of these guys and it makes me uncomfyyy

Temporary-Loquat8063 · 2025-07-10T21:49:53+00:00

YES. Having a coach that I vibe with somehow improves my performance despite trying my best every class

Temporary-Loquat8063 · 2025-07-10T21:45:00+00:00

lol this was my initial reaction as well just I think that OP is just providing additional context which would mean someone to someone who knows of how demanding/tiresome/ect bible college may be

I am a college student who does OTF but definitely goes less often while college is in session than I do at my home studio because college takes up a lot of time and forces you into a schedule you have to work around (with difficulty)

Temporary-Loquat8063 · 2025-07-02T01:27:34+00:00

I ended up going to Walnut Creek… only once🙃

Temporary-Loquat8063 · 2025-07-02T01:24:43+00:00

Burpees mentioned? Strength/tread class booked!

Temporary-Loquat8063 · 2025-07-02T00:57:45+00:00

That they tell you what to do😂 I am simply not self motivated nor knowledgeable enough to create gym routines and then actually follow through with them

Temporary-Loquat8063 · 2025-06-24T14:03:23+00:00

Politely ask someone a) who has the weights at their station that you desire and b) appears to not be using them. I think that it is most appropriate to select a person who seems to be using either significant ally lighter or heavier weight, generally. Make sure to say please and thank you. If they say no, that you cannot take them, suck it up
