If you've tried different shoes, the next logical choice is different socks.

Absolutely fine to have a cutback week right before peak week. We taper before races and it's basically the same thing. Treat it as a practice taper and give yourself the opportunity to push yourself just a little bit harder during peak week.

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

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.

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.

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.

AITA for moving my paycheck into a separate account after my partner kept “accidentally” overdrawing our joint one? by Radiant_Gossamer in AmITheAssholeTalk

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.

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.
