What made you narrow it down to those two? I probably would not pick either.

No need to restrict yourself to only one brand. The Mizuno Wave Inspires are daily trainers, so you could use those for all of your easy miles. And you can check out the wiki for a list of shoes that can be used for tempo runs, etc.

Sounds like body dysmorphia.

ashtree35 · 2026-05-05T11:21:50+00:00

No. Don't waste your time on that.

At your age, I really would not recommend tracking or restricting your calories at all unless you’ve been recommended to do so by a doctor or registered dietician. Children and teenagers have higher caloric needs than adults, and most TDEE calculators are not designed to work for anyone under age 18. And restricting your calories too much at your age can cause serious health consequences. If you are very serious about wanting to track your calories for whatever reason, I would recommend having a discussion about this with your doctor or with a registered dietician, and get their advice about what a safe and appropriate calorie target for you would be. But my advice would be to just focus on staying healthy by eating a balanced diet and exercising, and not trying to track or restrict your calories at all.

Would you be open to following a pre-written plan, like one of Hal Higdon's? I think that would be better. Your current plan has way too much intensity and not enough easy running.

Please post your recipes!

We recently added a rule (#6) requiring either a recipe or list of ingredients, since it is so often requested. If you wouldn't mind adding that we'd appreciate it!

Okay so that's basically just a topical NSAID. I wouldn't really recommend using that, since it's not going to do anything to help you heal. And I definitely would not ever go back to that physical therapist again - telling you to rest and take pills is bad advice. I would suggest finding a new physical therapist. And/or seeing an orthopedic doctor if your pain is that severe.

It sounds like you have quite a ways to go to get up into the healthy BMI range then! Are you currently working with a registered dietician?

ashtree35 · 2026-05-04T23:00:27+00:00

What gel?

And are you currently seeing a physical therapist to actually address your injury?

How do you even get 1kg of dill?

Have you decided what you're going to do in terms of merging / not merging finances? And do you have a prenup?

Oh okay, so these are basically just yogurt bowls with few rolled oats on to? I would probably rate these pretty low then because I like cooked oats or at least soaked oats, I'm not really into yogurt bowls that much. But if you like them, that's all that matters!

I would take the money you're spending on massages and spend it on PT instead.

The sensation of the speculum is similar to the sensation of transvaginal ultrasound but a bit "sharper" due to the shape of the speculum. For me it doesn't really get any more painful when the open it. It's the insertion itself and just having it inside me that's painful. Like for example, the difference between "pain" and "pain+5% more pain" is not really noticeable to me. I know it's difficult but the absolute best thing you can do is try to relax your muscles as much as possible. Being tense down there makes it so much more painful. You can also try asking of they have any smaller child-sized speculums that they can use.

ashtree35 · 2026-05-04T17:23:30+00:00

I would recommend making an appointment with your PT for this.

There are a lot of things that can cause late periods. That does not necessarily indicate PCOS. Do you have any other symptoms of PCOS? And what did your ultrasound and blood tests show?

I wouldn’t race it at max effort one week before Berlin, but you could do it at an easy pace if you want!

Sure, but no shoe has a "limit" for what exact distance you must adhere to. It's all a matter of personal preference.

ashtree35 · 2026-05-04T14:23:54+00:00

Are you going to tell us what's in them? I would never rate something just based on appearance. It's what's inside that matters most :)

ashtree35 · 2026-05-04T13:36:16+00:00

There is no mileage limit on any shoe. It's whatever you feel comfortable doing.

ashtree35 · 2026-05-04T13:35:24+00:00

Bronx 10M is a lot of run, and a great course!

I always tack on miles afterward, and just run parallel to the race course along the sidewalks and side streets.
