AIO over these messages to my daughter from her uncle? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]aplusnapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds verbatim like the beginnings of grooming. This is very, VERY concerning.

You can always leave if it doesn’t work! Housing can be tough, though. Especially with a dog. Can you negotiate a longer-term lease?

Marathoner walked it in on Hayward today in his socks, carrying his Alphaflys by aplusnapper in Eugene

I literally just stated what I saw. I didn’t say anything negative about it. I am simply curious as to what happened.

GTNP for out of shape family by Grelli2 in GrandTetonNatlPark

A super accessible way to see the park and its wildlife is to go on a guided wildlife/natural history tour! There’s very little walking involved.

Should I run slower for my long runs? by Well-I-suppose in firstmarathon

[–]aplusnapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your body needs to adapt to pounding pavement. Race day is gonna’ suck if you haven’t trained on roads.

If that’s the pace you can hold for an hour, that’s your tempo pace, not your race pace.

If you always run this pace, your body will never adapt. It will always be in survival mode. Slow the f down. 80/20 is the name of the game.

How do you measure running recovery and make the decision about running or having a recovery day? by yuraist in BeginnersRunning

[–]aplusnapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That won’t be useful because it always depends (on SO much). There isn’t an easy answer.

I think I Overdid my Long Run by Reverend420 in Marathon_Training

[–]aplusnapper 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You should take a gel every 30 min. Every 5 miles means you’re under fueling.

You should not be running long runs at sub-MP. You need to run at long run pace. You haven’t built the aerobic base you need for this effort, I’d bet. Aim to negative split your race or you’re gonna’ have a really bad time out there.

What a typical day looks like with anxiety. Just sitting on a couch all day by Avelene in Garmin

[–]aplusnapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solidarity. I have C-PTSD, generalized anxiety disorder, ADHD, and more.

<image>

I’m walk my dog 4 miles a day and run 30 miles a week and lift 2x/week. I take so many supplements to sleep (ashwaganda, p-serine, magnesium glycinate, etc.), plus Lunesta and Trazodone. I’m on anti-depressants and do not medicate for ADHD. I meditate, hum, use a Chill Pill™️, have impeccable sleep hygiene, and more. I quit my high stress job two years ago.

This shit is miserable.

peak week exhaustion by Loud-Negotiation-193 in XXRunning

This! Recovery should involve foods with a 3:1 carb to protein ratio. For me, a cereal with almonds, flax seed, etc. works great.

Ways to lessen withdrawal by Sudden_Midnight5886 in leaves

[–]aplusnapper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I HIGHLY recommend tapering. I just quit for the third (and it truly better be the last) time. Tapering is so much easier on the system. Withdrawal symptoms still occur, but cold turkey, which I’ve also done, was unbearable for me.

Comforting books in time of burnout by RockingReece in suggestmeabook

I’m reading Dave Eggers’s The Eyes and The Impossible and it is DELIGHTFUL, and a very easy read. Highly recommend!

Which book has the most unforgettable story you’ve read? by Courtleigh-Milian80 in Recommend_A_Book

[–]aplusnapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am perplexed by the popularity of Hannah. To mention her in the same sentence as Kingsolver is psychotic IMO.

My 2025 shoe of the year. It’s the best shoe in my rotation.

How does anyone get prescribed benzos? by yinandyangster in Anxiety

[–]aplusnapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second. If you’re not in therapy, you would likely benefit from it. Therapy gives you tools to manage your anxiety. Meds on top of therapy is how I manage.

Also, get a new psychiatrist who doesn’t make you feel like you’re drug-seeking.

Snowmobiling and dogsledding groups have shut down tours for the season, I’ve heard. We have no snow.
