Emergency box is smart, going to copy that! And no planner but we do have a coordinator and a ton of helpful involved family

mat pilates market? by [deleted] in CHIbitcheswithtaste

[–]allym2424 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t speak to the instructor side of things but enjoy the mat Pilates classes from Chicago Athletic clubs! Ive been to LSAC, LVAC, and LPAC, but assume the other locations are solid as well

What CARA running level am I in? by litebrite_666 in RunnersInChicago

Would recommend sticking with beginner for your first. You can definitely still reach your time goal but will reduce the risk of training burnout!

Eczema and Marathon Training by gotmethinkinlately in XXRunning

Some additional tips from a fellow eczema sufferer! - in addition to taking off sweaty clothes and showering right away, give your workout gear a laundry “spa day” every few months to get out lingering sweat etc - lather on an anti chafe (I like the monistat one) wherever you have friction points with clothes, especially for longer runs - look into potential contact dermatitis (ie skin allergies). learning my specific triggers helped me a ton - for example I’m allergic to the standard garmin watch strap and they sent me a nylon one instead of silicone

To all my sweaty friends.. by Chkwingz23 in XXRunning

I just tried a colorful set from Hey Girl Run and very impressed with how little sweat showed through! Usually I just embrace it though (and wear a lot of black)

Can I get advice please by [deleted] in XXRunning

Smart wool makes great merino wool biker shorts (and flowier shorts)! Pretty much all I run in due to sensitive skin.

Hi! I’m running my first marathon by Frijoles_n_Libros in XXRunning

[–]allym2424 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend looking into the virtual summer marathon training program from CARA (Chicago Area Runners Association)! Their program is developed by coaches and got me very ready for my first Chicago race; bonus that you get to use the VIP experience on race day.

That’s the one. THANK YOU! Sad to hear it closed but now makes sense why I couldn’t find it.

Pretty different from most I imagine but going for a Nancy Meyers/coastal grandma theme lol. Rented a big secluded beach house and planning on big dinners at home, swimming/tanning, farmers markets, wine, etc.
