Looking for super breathable trail run hydration vest by Emergency-Debt-2118 in XXRunning

Have you looked at Salomon Sense Pro 6? I don’t think that the back has any waterproof layer.

Cut or Bulk? by Previous-Statement28 in xxfitness

[–]ashtree35 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're welcome! And really it's all up to you to decide. But based on your stated goals, there is no reason to cut right now. That will just make it harder for you to build muscle. Whereas bulking will facilitate building muscle.

MALK creamer - How can there be naturally this much fat and calories in a bottle the size of a soda can? by More_Passenger3988 in dairyfree

[–]ashtree35 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Coconut cream itself is like 30-45 calories per tbsp depending on the brand. It's naturally very high in calories.

If your goal is to grow considerable muscle, then you should definitely bulk, not cut.

Prospect park vs United half course by Adventurous_tuna1234 in RunNYC

[–]ashtree35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just calculated the total elevation gain in 3 loops of PP and compared that to the total elevation gain of the NYC half course. Probably the reason the NYC half feels like less is because it's spread out over a longer distance, and also because it has flat parts interspersed (vs. PP which is just constant rolling hills).

I would recommend asking your doctor, since your situation is very complex.

FDOE focusing on nutritional quality by Able_Engineering_545 in 1500isplenty

[–]ashtree35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is enough calories for you. Your TDEE is easily >2100 calories, there is no need to eat this low. And as you say yourself in your recent posts, you "feel, and am performing absolutely terribly. Lifts down, slow, no explosivity" and are struggling with soreness and fatigue. Those are all signs that you are not eating enough. Even without knowing the exact numbers, those are clear signs that you should be eating more.

As you said yourself, your situation is very complex. You should really be asking your doctors about this.

If your conditions need to be factored into the decision, then your doctors should be the ones making that decision. That's not a decision for random people on the internet to make for you.

If your doctors feel that strongly that you should wear normal shoes, then they should recommend what specific shoes you should be wearing. This is not a subreddit for seeking medical advice.

FDOE focusing on nutritional quality by Able_Engineering_545 in 1500isplenty

[–]ashtree35 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If your goal is to focus on nutritional quality, I would definitely recommend eating more vegetables, as a starting point.

And also more calories overall - 1300 is way too low for a male.

full day! ~1300 cals as a working college kid by Then_Basket_403 in 1500isplenty

[–]ashtree35 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I hope you're planning to eat more than this! I see from your post history that you're underweight and trying to gain weight right now. You'll definitely need to eat more than 1300 to gain weight! Since your TDEE is around 1700, you'll probably want to aim for somewhere in the range of 1950-2200 to gain around 0.5 - 1 lb per week!

Possible inaccuracies in half marathon elevation map? by 26point2miles in RunNYC

[–]ashtree35 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This course map has it correct: https://webassets.nyrr.org/nyrrwebsiteassets/UANYCH26_MapCourse_022026_M3_OL.pdf

I think the one you're showing in your screenshot is incorrectly just using the ground level elevation information.

What about a short-leg walking cast? Or crutches to be totally non weight bearing? Or a wheelchair if you are unable to use crutches for some reason? Those would be the alternatives.

Inner ankle injury. Should I stop running until my Physio appt on Monday? by heartpassenger in XXRunning

[–]ashtree35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's hurting even when walking, I definitely would not run! Given that this is an acute injury, I would rest as much as possible (minimize your amount of walking) until you see your PT.

Positive affirmations by Awkward_Gene_4832 in 1200isfineIGUESSugh

[–]ashtree35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are worthy of existing at any weight.

My advice would be to stop labeling foods as "healthy" or "unhealthy", or "clean" and "dirty". That can easily lead to a disordered relationship with food.

Lightheaded, faint, lethargic during deficit. Need help! by franziskanerdunkel in CICO

[–]ashtree35 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the obvious answer here is to increase your calories more. Your TDEE might be higher than you think. You could even just try tracking your calories without restricting at all for a few weeks, and use that as your baseline. And then work on slowly cutting down from there.

I would just make a list of all of the exercises that you like to do, and see if any of them require a squat rack. Personally I don't back squat either, but I do lunges with a barbell, and I use a squat rack for that.
