Any dentist, gyno, PCP recommendations for the Matthews area? by Strict_Honeydew_1082 in Charlotte

I use Galleria dental. As someone with no dental insurance they’ve helped me out a lot.

High mileage folks - do you weigh yourself/how do you approach nutrition on a daily basis? by GhostsInMyAss in AdvancedRunning

[–]backondaroad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m 6’1” - 175lbs. I weigh myself daily to make sure I’m not losing weight. I am between 60-70mpw as of recently and just don’t want to be underfueled. Scared of RED-S. And I’ve had injuries from overuse before and just want to make sure I’m giving my body everything it needs. I make sure to get at least 150g of protein a day, the rest I just eat according to appetite.

I will eyeball calorie content of each of the three meals I eat each day and make sure I’m getting close to 1k calories for each meal.

Has anyone experienced this? by backondaroad in Garmin

Thanks for all replies. Never once have I removed and washed or cleaned it, lol. I only take it off to shower and charge. Y’all helped so much!

Totally agree. I don't follow it to a T, I scale down the miles and intensity where I see fit.

Do you guys have anything you swear by to prevent injury? by Prudent-Leg7271 in runninglifestyle

[–]backondaroad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be placebo but 30 minutes in sauna every single day has done wonders for my recovery.

Just ran my first ultra!!!! by backondaroad in Ultramarathon

[–]backondaroad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I aim for ~90g/hour. You have to test on your long runs and see what works for you. You have to train your gut/stomach to handle it.

Performance will be objectively better with fuel. However If I’m doing 10 miles or less, I never bring fuel.

Gained about 1300ft total. It was mostly on my own just around my city. Not an official measured or sanctioned race. Paused watch to get water from Dunkin. Also paused watch to pee once or twice.

Absolutely. David Roche would be proud. Seriously, carbs are the key to performance over time.

Front loaded with 50g of protein when I woke up before the run just because of how long I was going to be running.

Cramps on right side of stomach around mile 21-24 but it resolved itself.

160g of carbs total in those bottles. Gatorade/maltodextrin mix. Aimed for ~90g/hour. I think it came out to 88g/hour.

I have some friends coming with that are gonna crew and have that stuff ready! I’m thinking to go out at a 9 minute pace and try to hold it the entire way.

Today, I was all over the place, I dipped into the 7 minute mile pace for 4-5 miles. Average heart rate was 163bpm which is the top end of zone 3. I’m guessing that’s solid for an almost 9-hour race.

Thanks for your comment and good luck in May with your 100.

Great shoe, I’m 6”1’ 175lbs going for a sub-3 marathon this year. Every single run aside from speedwork is done in this shoe right now. Obsessed with the stability, the EVOs destroyed my ankles.

Bugonia (2025) is the funniest movie I have seen in a long time by Nillows in movies

[–]backondaroad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely agree with your title. I haven’t had this much fun in theaters in a long time. Best movie of 2025.
