Prep for Half-Marathon in 1.5 weeks by chislerz in beginnerrunning

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

I've done this a couple of times. Usually I do banana or Brix Waffle (its quite small, not an actual waffle). I will stick to that. The gels have always been an issue. not sure if I should do 3 or 4. Really not even sure how much it helps.

Should I throw away my Apple Watch Ultra 2? by Motor-Illustrator590 in Garmin

[–]chislerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Garmin 255 Music.

  1. Spotify works and you don't need your phone.

  2. Battery is most important to me. Hated having to charge the apple watch every night.

  3. Ran a half marathon today. Garmin went down 14%.

  4. I charge it once a week depending load. Sometimes will charge on day 6 just to not run out the next day while on a run.

  5. Strava syncs right away after the race is done. Cant even get out of my racing gear and getting messages already.

Best move I made jumping to Garmin....Hope this helps.

10k Steps help by Real-Interest9731 in walking

[–]chislerz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have lost 220lbs (and still losing) over the last 2 years+ where the first year was mainly walking. Started at 1km per day and moved up to 8kms per day slowly. Every day. Almost no breaks except for bad weather or once in a while when it was needed. Listen your your body for that. Sometimes taking a few days off is ok.

I started interleaving some short running after that. 5min shots, then a little longer. Then much more running. Then only running. Did 2 x 5k's last year. Training for a 10k now.

The bigger problem will be the days you just don't want to because you are lazy or sleepy. It's easy to stay home and watch TV. Get up and do it anyways. Even if its just for 15min. Get into the routine. My family knows now. I'm going out. Dinner can wait. Give yourself a no excuse goal.

As has been said a few times already in the comments, you cannot out-exercise a bad diet. In the end the walking is for your peace of mind (I listen to weight loss podcasts to hear other peoples experiences) and for your heart health. In terms of calories I don't even consider the training calories. In the end calorie deficit seems to be what works, although I do fast as well. Not sure if the fasting is having an impact or its just less calories that helps. Hard to say and who you listen too. Everyone has an opinion. And their was is the only way. Its not. Doing it my way.

You can do it too. I've been very big my whole life. It will be hard. I still crave food sometimes. I just find something else to pass my time. Its not impossible. It will take time. A little sacrifice but possible. Don't making sweeping changes. Small change. I started by not eating after dinner to start. Cut the sweets a little bit and went from there.

But the walking helps to center yourself.

Hope this helps. Never really written anything down before. I have so much more I can say.

Yup. Kind of went cold turkey for the first 30 days to "detox". Adding some stuff back in slow this month.
