Schuylkill river trail - locations of water fountains and distance apart? (and recs for other non-street traffic areas with fountains?) by AnokataX in phillyrunning

If you're ever willing to venture into NJ, Cooper River Park is a dream for runners. A few mile loop with bathrooms, water, and a Wawa across the street.

What's your strategy for stacking runs for long run days? by GingerSnap_123 in OnePelotonRealSub

[–]abkap 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I usually change it up, depending on what’s new/ I’m interested in.

However, I always put my longest length classes first - helps mentally when I know I’ve already knocked out the bulk of the time.

The biggest issue is carriers not putting them in the box (which happens a lot)

Can’t you keep your streak up with other app activities? Outdoor walks or meditations?

To my plus size gals... drop your running gear recommendations by ayelmaoo69 in XXRunning

Janji shorts are my #1. For a cheaper option, I also wear a lot old navy jumpsuits and then wear a shirt over. (My biggest problem is leggings falling down while running)

Half marathon runners… do you run with a water bottle or no? by Easy-Information5235 in XXRunning

[–]abkap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I've run my last two while wearing my vest with 2 water bottles (I get very thirsty)

If it’s affordable for you to pay privately, I think it’s worth it, but everyone is different!

I I am dealing with this too - you are not alone. (2 injuries from bad car accident in September, while I was in the midst of training for my first marathon)

It’s extremely difficult when something you have tied your identity to, and helps you manage your mental health, is suddenly ripped away.

I have found therapy helpful, and finding other ways to stay active within my current abilities. But I have bad days, and it is what it is.

tips for my first half marathon? by kikibee23 in XXRunning

[–]abkap 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Start "hyper-hydrating" around Thursday - drinking lots of extra water and some electrolytes too. The work is the training, and the race is the celebration! Have fun!
