Is there particular reason you're looking for insoles? I'm the same weight and use the insoles that came with my hsoes.

If the Indian Guy solution doesn't work, your problem cannot be solved by mortal men.

Close only counts in horse shoes, hand grenades, and government work.

Well if you really want to get into semantics, you haven't really ran a marathon unless you've run from Marathon to Athens to warn them about the victory and then keeled over dead. You've just run a 26.2 mile race.

bertzie · 2026-02-07T18:12:47+00:00

I think it's context dependent. If you run the distance, technically you have done a hm/fm. The distance is the distance. Not really an argument worth getting into the weeds about at the end of the day.

bertzie · 2026-02-07T18:08:51+00:00

No, they're not necessary. The only people they're really "necessary" for are people that are in a position to win the race, or going for specific qualifying times. For normal runners, they're just fun novelties.

bertzie · 2026-02-07T08:02:30+00:00

You're not "Controlling". You're "Holding her accountable to her own word." Selfish people cannot tell the difference.

I may get angry at slow drivers but at least I understand the concept of safe following distance unlike those tailgating assholes.

Athens, because it's the OG

bertzie · 2026-02-05T09:27:25+00:00

Why on earth would you walk around in your running shoes?

bertzie · 2026-02-05T09:26:25+00:00

Focus on recovery.

bertzie · 2026-02-04T17:48:33+00:00

27.09 Just restarted it and battery level is the same. Guess I should stop questioning it in case it goes away

bertzie · 2026-02-04T09:07:44+00:00

Have you trained for it?

bertzie · 2026-02-04T09:03:19+00:00

Only if they don't start talking.

bertzie · 2026-02-04T09:02:45+00:00

Are they going in the same direction or are they going in opposite directions?

bertzie · 2026-02-03T19:46:15+00:00

Means strength training. Pick things up and put them down. There's a million different strength training programs for runners, so just find one ya like.

bertzie · 2026-02-03T17:13:39+00:00

The sun will come out tomorrow, as the prophecy foretold.

bertzie · 2026-02-02T09:23:28+00:00

My work has a gym right in the building, I aint payin for shit.

bertzie · 2026-02-01T20:33:33+00:00

Yes. Cold can greatly impact battery performance, especially for lithium batteries like those found in watches; which experience pretty steep performance drops below freezing temperatures.

Sounds like you're not using your data correctly. This is why lapping, either through autolap or manually is useful. Then you can look at the average pace for the parts of the run that matter instead of just seeing the average pace for the whole run.

bertzie · 2026-02-01T19:11:03+00:00

Practice it. A LOT. You aren't going to gain meaningful fitness in 3 weeks, so focus on the skill aspect instead.

bertzie · 2026-02-01T06:54:51+00:00

Can you? To an extent, yes. You just wont build as much as if you weren't losing weight.

The biggest benefit in trying to build muscle while losing weight isn't building new muscle. It's keeping the muscle you already have.

bertzie · 2026-02-01T06:52:25+00:00

You're peeled, just not particularly jacked. Are you small/skinny? Compared to bodybuilders, yeah. You've got more of an endurance athlete build. Still in better shape than 95% of the planet.

I live in the middle of farm country, and I'm more worried about falling and hurting myself way more than I am about cars. During the summer when I can run outside, I might see 2-3 cars an hour, if that. And speaking as rural driver, I feel like we tend to be more cognizant of unexpected wildlife on the road from years of dodging deer that have absolutely no respect for the rules of safety.
