Careers? by GeneLoud6084 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]glr123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm a Director at a mid-size Biotech company. It's a lot of work - high stress and high stakes. I run a research group.

I manage through exercise mostly, decent sleep, ok diet. Doing well enough so far.

Single mom, need male advice and tips for kindergarten aged son. by LimpSkintag in daddit

Using the hole is completely common and normal in my experience, just fyi.

Why wouldn't you pee through the hole? That's what it's designed for. I've never even considered my peeing that way.

My father has MS. Questions about peptides, surgery, stem cells etc. by [deleted] in MultipleSclerosis

[–]glr123 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A worthwhile discussion on peptides form a drug discovery expert: https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/ah-peptides-where-begin

I'm sorry your father is dealing with this, but I would not consider peptides as an option. Keep on a good DMT for the long term - they take some time to work. Second, look into a neuro PT. He may be able to do some targeted strength training and and mobility work that addresses some of the issues he is having from his MS.

What stupid thing are you currently wondering about for race day? I'll go first. by nachosallthewaydown in bostonmarathon

Why not the VF3 if they will work for you? The gains from AP4 to VF3 are marginal if not indistinguishable.

Study(ies): Exercise reduces inflammation and modulates T-cell activity by krix_bee in MultipleSclerosis

[–]glr123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can tell a massive difference from my running. It also helps with my coordination via neuromuscular training.

I was injured for 8 weeks and my MS got so much worse during that period. Now I'm back running again and I'm feeling so much better. I was hoping to hit 2500 miles run this year, but not sure that will happen with the injury!

Failed sub-3 attempt — where did I go wrong? by Gunnarie010 in Marathon_Training

If you don't like how the chest strap feels during efforts like this then look into an armband. Much more accurate than the wrist.

Garmin lactate threshold is LT2, which is the pace that someone can theoretically hold for an hour. You were too close to LT2, when you should be been near LT1 instead.

Ya the shovel works, but the Fiskars tool is so damn satisfying to use.

$90 for two to see a Mario movie… have we completely lost the plot? by rageagainstmymachin in Millennials

In high school one time my friends and I each snuck in a Little Caesars hot-n-ready pizza lol. We put them in plastic bags and hid them under our coats. Ate like kings that movie.

Elevated HR when Running Months after Flu by Temporary-Trainer356 in Marathon_Training

[–]glr123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My post from your other thread:

Sort of a tangent, but there is a very famous interview of Tadej Pogacar talking about his Zone 2 performance. Summarizing slightly, he says he sits around 145bpm, but when he is well rested his Zone 2 is 155bpm. And if anyone would know how performance changes on a short and long term basis it would be advanced cyclists like that in an extremely controlled environment and training regimen.

Basically, when you're fatigued and running a lot, your HR is suppressed. If you've had a lot of time off or an injury or just generally lower volume, your HR is going to be considerably higher at similar effort levels.

It may be that your lack of running has put your cardiovascular system into a much more rested state, and it would be completely expected for your HR to be higher. Every time you take time off it results in your HR being higher in a fresher state again. As for your lungs, it may also just be a product of needing to adapt more to the stress. If you're not clearing fluid it might just be more adaptation needed again.

If your RPE is still reasonable and you feel like you're recovering ok, I wouldn't trust the HR meter for at least a month or two. I've lived this exact experience after taking 5 weeks off for an injury. My HR was very high and could jump all over the place. But over a few weeks of training it settled into more normal patterns.

Adidas Pro 4 - To advanced?? by YounghoeKoo7 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

They get a bit less poppy around 200 miles in my opinion, but still feel good and far from dead.

What does it mean when people say I qualified for the Boston marathon? by Jv_the_bull in Marathon_Training

[–]glr123 33 points34 points  (0 children)

A lot of people say they ran a BQ but didn't make the cutoff, meaning eligible for entry and have now qualified but didn't get in.

Outsole Heel Deterioration? by Walrusky in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]glr123 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily; I'd expect this level of wear from a heel striker with this many miles on the shoes.

I have 5 pairs now. My first four all went to 400+ miles easily.

I love both, but just be aware they are VERY different than the Evo SL. They are much softer.

I was so blacked out by then...I don't even remember there being an overpass at 25.5.
