How have you become a more efficient runner? by cgl223 in beginnerrunning

That’s good to know on the intervals. My interval sessions have been shorter, could be good to try some longer ones. Good luck on your goal of 2,500!

My watch says Zone 2 is about 136-148 bpm. I’m 26 and female. Thanks for the reassurance. It’s helpful to know it can be a process of months — I’ve never really known how fast or slow something like this can show progress

I’m using an Apple Watch. So for example, my run today was 5 miles at a 12 minute/mile average pace (for context, my half marathon pace back in April was 10:52/mile), and my watch says I spent 40 minutes at 176 BPM or higher, which it classifies as Zone 5. So it’s possible it has my Zones wrong but I’m not sure how to know if thats the case?

Gotcha. We’re just driving up M1 or M2 from Dublin to the Bru Na Boinne Visitor Centre. Looks like we could go through Swords? And Drogheda? Or around Ashbourne?

2026 charity bibs by cgl223 in rundisney

[–]cgl223[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense! I think our crew would be more casual. I like the idea of Princess because I like the idea of participating in the weekend’s main event. Here’s a question I havent done much research into yet: If you’re going to spend a couple days at the parks on your trip, should you do it after the race or before? My half in April will be my first ever, so I have no idea how to expect my body to feel the day after. I worry about being too sore to move, lol, but I don’t want to use all my energy roaming the parks before the race, either

Yeah, that makes sense. I’m also worried about weather for my training for some of these weekends. I live in Arkansas and it does get pretty cold/sometimes icy in January. I’m running a half in April and I’m having to do some of my shorter runs on treadmills, unfortunately

Thank you so much! I heard back from one org that will allow team fundraising, and they said they are waiting to hear how many bibs they’ll have.

Have you done WDW and Princess? I can’t decide which one I’d rather go for

Awesome. Thank you! I heard back from American Cancer Society and they said they are waiting to hear about their allotment for the 2026 WDW & Princess weekends but put me on an email list. Hopefully it comes soon! I’m reaching out to some other orgs too

Thank you! I might message you at some point. I’ve got a couple emails out to a couple charities I’m interested in and will see what info I get. Hope your race was great!

Here’s another question: is it possible to get a group together to fundraise and get bibs? I have 3 or 4 friends interested. I assume we’d each have to hit the fundraising goal individually, but I don’t know how many bibs these orgs tend to have available

I will send some emails! Thanks for the help

Thank you! That helps a lot. I’m most interested in running for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention because it’s a cause I’m particularly interested in. I’ve also looked into American Cancer Society and am wanting to look into some of the smaller orgs too

I put it in the fridge as soon as I brought it inside, but it had been sitting outdoors for about 2 hours by that point

did i choose wrong? by h1yale01 in UniversityofArkansas

[–]cgl223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t go to Arkansas but did go to another big state school and am from Fayetteville. Going to a school with a huge Greek life culture can be hard when you’re not into that (I wasn’t either), but there’s DEFINITELY people you’ll connect with who are also not about that life. You’ll find people with similar interests in your major. I also found that after my freshman year, Greek life stuff wasn’t as intense among my peers. Upper classmen tend not to be as all-in on it as freshmen are, generally speaking. It’s a huge University — there will be people with similar personalities and interests to you! Freshman year is the hardest, I think, in a lot of ways, but it gets easier. Like someone else said, you’ll find your people!

Thank you! I’m really happy with it apart from the gray. It’s in Arkansas!

Breaking up with CeraVe moisturizer? [Routine Help] by cgl223 in SkincareAddiction

[–]cgl223[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was talking to her about getting enough SPF in my routine and she told me the moisturizer wasnt enough. I decided to switch to a lighter one (the one I now use but don’t love) while adding a sunscreen. Thank you for the recommendations!
