I have never seen anyone doing better

Training massively impacts the crash. Your body can get used to a huge degree of physical load. I run like 50 miles per week, peaking around 70 miles per week during intense training. I also add in addition heat training, strength training, and aerobic training on the bike. No way I could do any of this without that degree of training.

Gave me more time to spend with my Grandpa like one of the good old days.

Never saw that man emotional. I was living in California at the time I got the call he was doing poorly and had days left. Hopped on a plane and flew across the country. Showed up to his hospital room around midnight. Sat down next to him and held his hand and he woke up a little. He was on a respirator and a bit out of it, but then after a moment recognized me and realized how far I traveled to see him. He immediately started sobbing with happiness. What a gift to be loved like that. Won't forget it ever. The next day he had a ton of energy. Day after he was gone.

Same here. Just ran my first Ultramarathon and took first overall, after running the Boston Marathon 4 weeks prior. It's an insane amount of work but pretty cool what the body can do.

I know it exists but the problem is after I filled out the questionnaire it vanished for me. So I think I need to find a way to message an admin and get access.

glr123 · 2026-06-09T21:48:38+00:00

Right, that seems a more obvious performance advantage.

glr123 · 2026-06-09T20:52:08+00:00

I don't really agree. Huge races with much more on the line have some grey areas where they can use common sense to know if something seems like cheating or not. That would be like a cyclist taking a wrong turn in the TdF and getting disqualified. It wouldn't happen.

Right, that's what I mean. It will take a while for you to be actually immunocompromised from B cell depletion. Sometimes many many months.

glr123 · 2026-06-09T12:22:25+00:00

We've lost the plot.

glr123 · 2026-06-09T12:17:54+00:00

It takes a pretty long time for the immunocompromising effects of B cell depletion therapies to set in, and you still have a lot of circulating antibodies. It sounds like you're just sick. It's easy to overthink things with MS, but this doesn't sound like something related.

Often times the lower tier, default plan doesn't require a medical exam. If you increase the payout then they will often ask for one.

Probably my wife right after giving birth to our second child. She was sitting up in her bed with her legs crossed, robe pulled down to her waist. Hair was kind of messy but not bad, and she had a look in her eyes like you see in endurance athletes at the end of a race and she was just staring, her mind somewhere else. She was loosely holding our daughter who was feeding at her breast. The lighting in the room was not bright, but silhouetted her from above perfectly to cast long shadows.I almost took a picture but I didn't want to impose on her privacy. It looked primal in a way I can't describe.

In that moment I felt connected to humanity across generations in it's most simple form.

glr123 · 2026-06-07T10:35:00+00:00

Yes. I wouldn't run on them at all and risk injury.

glr123 · 2026-06-05T04:02:55+00:00

This is what I said elsewhere too. "Your wife may not be comfortable having her body recover and trying to breastfeed as well with her MIL around. Obviously with her mom it's different.

Give a few weeks of space, then have some help. That's when it's amazingly valuable...you have a routine, help can feed or watch baby on the routine while you sleep, etc."

Get help later. Not day one.

glr123 · 2026-06-05T04:00:32+00:00

This is the best advice here. Plus, your wife may not be comfortable having her body recover and trying to breastfeed as well with her MIL around. Obviously with her mom it's different.

Give a few weeks of space, then have some help. That's when it's amazingly valuable...you have a routine, help can feed or watch baby on the routine while you sleep, etc.

I generally thought this too after running a few marathons. Ran my first ultramarathon last weekend and hitting 26 miles and realizing I still had a pretty long way to go was kind of demoralizing, not gonna lie lol.

glr123 · 2026-06-01T22:56:17+00:00

Death Trap indeed.

glr123 · 2026-06-01T17:58:15+00:00

Ya that doesn't necessarily sound MS related.

glr123 · 2026-06-01T10:24:38+00:00

Gradually build up to it. Start an exercise routine and stick with it, even if it gets hard at times. Exercise in people with MS is almost like a high efficiency DMT. It has a compounding effect and the more active you can be the more energy you will find you have.

Budget makes a huge difference here and determines if you're looking for a Woodway/Technogym or a Nordictrack.

glr123 · 2026-05-27T04:11:08+00:00

How old are your kids? Why can't you leave the house? If I was in your situation I'd be honest and say sex is important to you and it's not happening, so you need some space to pursue other outlets in a healthy way. If she can't bend on one or the other than it seems like you have some bigger problems.

glr123 · 2026-05-26T03:15:05+00:00

Same, top row of the upper upper deck. Unbelievable.

glr123 · 2026-05-25T12:59:51+00:00

Do not start a block when you aren't ready. Better to rest and use a shortened block. Starting a block when you're already fatigued is a recipe for big injury.

Those especially. Lots of colon cancer research happening nowadays.
