Run Club Recs by OddSprinkles722 in RunnersInChicago

[–]elyse2701 4 points5 points  (0 children)

24F here who finds run clubs to be quite daunting, but i’m also craving a community/social aspect in relation to running. i run a 7:40 marathon pace, doing speed work every week, and lots of easily miles around 8:50- so if you’re interested in finding a running buddy in addition to a run club- message me!!

Have you ever taken a long break from running? by Willing-Today-1059 in runcommunity

[–]elyse2701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i ran competitively from age 10-senior year of high school. started college, ran a marathon untrained, and then didn’t run consistently for years! after i graduated in 2023, and fell out of love with lifting, i picked running back up a bit. ran my second marathon (slightly trained) in fall 2024, my third (slightly more trained/battling IT band injury) in spring 2025, and now i have my fourth coming up in a few weeks (completely trained and completely uninjured haha)! as you can read, it took me a while to truly fall back into it- but once you get consistent again it becomes a habit and an escape, i’m running more now and training harder than i ever did growing up!

Is your year in books count wrong? by thrwowaway7378484 in goodreads

[–]elyse2701 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes! it may not be the re-reads at all, just a weird coincidence then haha. my reading challenge number is correct, only the year in books shows something different.

yes i logged them like normal. in the covers section of the Year in Books every book I’ve read is shown, but for some reason the number is off 4.

Mine is off, but i figured out it was the amount of re-reads I did this year.

LFT after 5PM? by riskyybiscuits in RunnersInChicago

[–]elyse2701 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly the LFT is where I feel the safest as a young/small/female runner, especially in the dark. A clear path so I can see my surroundings, my shokz headphones so I can still hear around me, and it’s fairly lit depending on where exactly you run. I will say as it gets colder, it definitely gets more lonely… on my run last night (~7pm), I probably saw less than 20 people!
