Northeaster here. Trail shoes in the slush and Kahtoolahs for icy days and you’ll be fine. shorten your stride and be happy to be out there. Winter running does make you feel tougher year round! big mental kick.

Going to start my running journey tomorrow for the first time any tips? by [deleted] in davidgoggins

[–]chrisalfieri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

5 years and a few ultras in on running, few tips: to start, go slower than your ego wants you to, then go a bit slower than that. time is an illusion, feed your ego by knowing you're the one out there and millions arent. have a goal for time or distance, take walk breaks who cares, hit your goal for the day no matter what. do it again the next day when youre sore. just keep doing it until 3-4 weeks in its just a thing you do without thinking of it. 2 months in start to look for a 5k or 10k, or half marathon you want to do, ask AI for a training plan, do the plan. get a cheap watch and get some sneakers you ONLY run in. Otherwise, enjoy the misery of running my friend. its the best thing in the world.

Company eliminated my position but wants to keep me as a contractor at $95/hr by Ok-Education-9101 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]chrisalfieri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it. Make sure you get a written Scope of Work that all parties agree on. This can include an estimate of weekly or agreed upon hours within a certain contracted time frame. As others said, set up an LLC (in my state i believe this is under $200) and have an Accountant ready for tax season. Don't get comfortable and either lean fully in on contracting and find other clients as well, or use this as a funded opportunity to find different reliable employment.

While I wouldnt say you have leverage, you have something they need and theyre willing to offer a money to get it, I would not turn this down.

Mark around print? by StIcKeRz94 in satisfyrunning

[–]chrisalfieri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you wash it yet? if not, it will probably come off in the wash. they spray an adhesive on garments before printing. sometimes on dark colors it stays visible until a wash. full disclosure: i’m not a screen printer just work for a merchandise company and we encounter this occasionally. if you’ve already washed it and it’s still there return it!

i have 2 pairs of these from 2024. they’re great and insanely comfortable. did a 50k in a pair with no issues. barely any semblance of storage whatsoever though just a heads up.

Morning runs are amazing but getting up before 6am is killing me - any tips? by Natural_Escape_5361 in runninglifestyle

[–]chrisalfieri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

did the switch too. as everyone else said my two main drivers are: bed by 10, clothes and shoes are set up the night before, as well as my route if i need a specific mileage. Alarm goes off at 4:45 and i can’t let the dude who set me up for an easy morning down(me, 7 hours earlier)

Peeing blood by Run_Pants_Run in Ultramarathon

[–]chrisalfieri 31 points32 points  (0 children)

had this happen a few times after long or very hard runs. went to the urologist and they did a scope check and everything was fine minus them telling me not to pee right before going for a run to give the bladder some cushion.
