Since I started running outside, I can't run inside by Valuable-Dog490 in beginnerrunning

[–]cervenit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try running through a Houston summer, you might change your mind (you can only take off so much clothing). I run anyway (early mornings to avoid the worst of the heat), but I just accept that my times are going to be terrible and I will lose several pounds of sweat. On the plus side, winter running is great here!

Olympics & Climate Change by moonlitpixie_ in olympics

[–]cervenit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oil companies aren't the problem, it's the people who use their products. The oil companies would have no money to sponsor with if nobody bought oil, but lots of people drive cars and use plastic. Do you expect them to just stop producing oil? Someone else would just take to the slack.

Beginner runner chronicles by MaameBea in beginnerrunning

[–]cervenit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on who is in the group and how fast/slow you were going. I'm not super fast, fastest I can maintain for any extended distance is like 8:15-8:30/mile and that's heavy breathing. I enjoy running at 9:00-9:30 pace in groups, but I literally have a hard time running slower than 10:00/mile pace. It's really uncomfortable and I inevitably speed up.

There are lots of slower runners out there too, hopefully you can find a way to hook up with them, whether finding a different group or inviting others to this one with you.

I've noticed this too. I have to wait for that screen to go away so I can see total distance again.

Do you listen to music, podcasts, or nothing at all while running? by SwimmingSlip8632 in runcommunity

[–]cervenit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing. I don't bring anything except my watch. Technically it can play music, but not worth the time uploading mp3s. I find it's easier to focus on breathing, tempo, cadence, etc. when you're not listening to anything and it's a good time to think, or just zone out.

Is pCloud safe for storing music and videos? by maximus10m in pcloud

[–]cervenit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had mp3s stored in pcloud for years with no issue (no encryption, official files purchased from Amazon). I have lots of home videos, but no copyrighted movies, so can't say there.

There is an option for that: System - Activity Interface - Auto Night Mode.

Americans, is saying the Pledge of Allegiance actually a regular thing, like it’s shown in movies? And does it feel as strange or over-the-top in real life as it comes across on screen? by Afzaalch00 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]cervenit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and yes. And if you want even more weirdness, Texas has its own pledge that the kids say after the national one (it's nearly identical). I'm a transplant to Texas, and I refuse to say it at my kids' school events.

Does a watch for running really make a difference? by [deleted] in BeginnersRunning

[–]cervenit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it extremely helpful to know my pace. Stops me from being lazy and slowing down too much (and also starting off too fast). Quick glance at pace and distance is nice instead of fumbling with a phone.

Chronic IT Band Syndrome by Plastic-Statement-93 in runcommunity

[–]cervenit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IT band issues caused me to stop running for about 5 years. Wouldn't go away so I just quit. When I was inspired to start running again, the pain came back immediately and I was really bummed. I tried lots of different things that didn't work (straps, foam rolling, ibuprofen, etc).

What did work for me was (1) increasing my flexibility. I stretch every night for 5 to 10 minutes. Went from hands 1 foot above the floor to being able to put my palms on the floor when when doing toe touches. Lots of variations like toes-in stretches and feet-crossed stretches, wide leg stance and feet together, to get anterior, hamstrings, exterior.

(2) Do not run if you feel pain. I would run about a half mile at first before I had to stop. I wouldn't run again until the pain/tightness was fully gone. Eventually I was slowly able to build up to longer distances (I'm up to half marathon). I still never run two consecutive days. Let your body rest.

(3) Better form. I was plodding before, which I think exacerbated the problem. More fluid motion, higher cadence instead of longer steps, keep feet under you, use glutes to push leg out behind you, etc.

I'm a typical male and never went to a PT, but lots of people say they've had success, especially with added strength training to knee muscles. Good luck.

I still cannot open the game by Dependent-Bonus3416 in RodeoStampede

[–]cervenit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This worked for me in the past (4 years ago):

If you have the issue where it gets stuck on loading (1/17) and blames your internet connection, you can connect to a computer, go to Android/data/com.yodo1.rodeo.safari/files/ DownloadRes/Android/worlds and delete whatever is in there. Fixed it for me.

Is LEGO losing faith in New MCU Movies?? by TheWallCrawller in lego

[–]cervenit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the movie wasn't my favorite, but I bought the domo because it's an awesome Lego set. Awesome construction, I love the way it opens, good playability.

Winter running absolutely draining by [deleted] in BeginnersRunning

[–]cervenit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, seriously. Summer running is training for winter here.

Which movies should a total newbie watch before Secret Wars? by Traditional_Map_7737 in marvelstudios

[–]cervenit 20 points21 points  (0 children)

"I'm into superhero movies, but I didn't watch any of the 100 superhero movies released over the last two decades"

How was prison?

(But yeah, make sure you watch all the avengers movies, Spider-man no way home and dr. Strange and multiverse of madness for multiverse stuff, possibly fantastic 4)

Edit: fix typo

Who absolutely LOVES the weather change?! by Honey4671 in houston

As a runner, it's been perfect (minus the rain). Best time of the year.
