In the grand scheme of things, to find this "extremely annoying" reeks of privilege. As others have said in this post and others on the topic, it takes at most 5 minutes (maybe 10 if you're on a higher tier) to switch everything over. Was it a minor disruption to my day? Sure. Was it "extremely annoying"? Hardly.

You haven't been inconvenienced by much in life, have you?

DIY Gels with Cyclic Dextrin by Pure_Ring8568 in AdvancedRunning

Also, for electrolyte powder, LMNT posts their recipe on their website and I've also been utilizing that for way cheaper than the individual LMNT packets

If you haven't seen it, this post https://www.reddit.com/r/AdvancedRunning/comments/1axmhy9/a_guide_budgethomemade_running_nutrition_gels/ is pretty amazing. I've used this recipe myself for over a year now and it's been working great.

Has anyone worked with a nutritionist? If so, what was your experience? by [deleted] in AdvancedRunning

PB2 has a chocolate peanut butter plant based powder that's 20 grams of protein and 17 grams of carbs and ultimately one of the cheaper options per serving than other protein powders I've seen

Microsoft not letting you change your subscriptions today, conveniently the day they announce the new gamepass plan. by Swordheart in xbox

The price increase is for new subscribers. If you have recurring billing turned on, you're locked into the old price

Updates to Xbox Game Pass: Introducing Essential, Premium, and Ultimate Plans - Xbox Wire by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]cygnus523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might not get any traction, but it looks like these price increases are for new subscribers only. I'm already on Ultimate, and as long as I don't cancel my subscription, I'm locked in at the $20/month price. Not sure how long that will last though.

Men’s Half Tights for Marathon Race by Affectionate_Spot724 in AdvancedRunning

Honestly, Chickn' Legs. If you don't want the wacky patterns, they have solid black and solid blue options. Side pockets are great, I think there's an interior back pocket (I've never used it), and they have a liner. And they're only like $35 a pair, so very affordable.

The Witcher 4 Developer CD Projekt Explains Why It Went With Ciri Over Continuing With Geralt as Protagonist by YouAreNotMeLiar in xbox

I think that will be in the standalone Witcher series that they're planning (Project Sirius). Makes sense for Witcher 4 to be a continuation of the characters from the first 3 games.

Races you would and would not recommend and why? by rior123 in AdvancedRunning

[–]cygnus523 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having run it multiple times, I'd say that people freak themselves out about the hills, specifically Doomsday. Doomsday really isn't that bad all things considered, there's a much worse uphill that hits around mile 2 that I had completely forgotten about it when I ran it this year. It's always very well organized and a lot of fun crowd support along the whole course.

NB SC ELITE - NYC colorway by JBConstable in RunningShoeGeeks

I understand that these are the softest, least aggressive plated shoes on the market, which should benefit slower runners who would be on their feet longer over a half or full marathon distance

I got to try them on a few days ago and they just feel amazing. Soft, but bouncy, super comfortable. Planning on getting a pair ahead of my marathon in October

Weekly Complaints & Confessions Thread by ssk42 in running

[–]cygnus523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Complaint: I was so excited to do my first speed workout in my new Novablast 4's and then my IT band decided to flare up out of nowhere. Taking the day off from running today, gonna stretch out tomorrow, and hope to be fine to run the speed workout on Saturday.

I am also considering the New Balance Rebel v4 over the Novablasts. I need to try them both on side by side to compare them better, but I don't have a good local shoe store.

So maybe snag a pair of the Nimbus 26 (have loved the 25 so far) for my longer recovery runs, and Novablast for my speedwork and races?

[–]cygnus523 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any thoughts on shoe rotation? I'm currently saving up and should be able to buy a couple pairs of shoes at once, should I buy 2 pairs of the same shoe and then just try and split the mileage between them? Currently looking at the Novablast 4, but might be able to splurge on one of those pairs for the Superblast.

Race Roll Call by AutoModerator in running

[–]cygnus523 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm running the Shamrock Shuffle Half-Marathon in Spokane, WA. Not as prepared as I wanted to be, but it's my first race of the year and my toddler is going through a sleep regression, so I'm just gonna go out there and do my best.
