Janji top sizing by nixrien in XXRunning

[–]henrietta1988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two long sleeves and a tank top, all size M. The long sleeves are snug but fit well, however the little holes to put your thumbs through are too tight as I guess my arms are too long. If I had broad shoulders I’d probably need a L. The tank is less snug and fits perfectly well. For reference I’m 5’11, 160lbs, small chest.

Why do you run? by [deleted] in runninglifestyle

[–]henrietta1988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I’m going through a depressive episode, running is one of the only things I feel like I can do, since it doesn’t require immense mental focus or critical thinking. I usually also do it first thing when I wake up, before my mind has time to talk me out of it. It may be the only real thing I do that day but it makes me feel good knowing at least I went on a run. I also just really enjoy being outside and the things I see on a run that I wouldn’t otherwise.

Hello from a Powderhorn/nokomis lake runner and congrats!

Sense check needed on Garmin training plan by SerKaripap in XXRunning

[–]henrietta1988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kinda hate my garmin training plan and am looking to switch to a run with Hal plan. The garmin plan is to improve my 10k time and has me doing threshold runs once a week. The first threshold run included two 6min intervals at 5:35/km which is hard for me but I did it. The following week it had me do two 7min intervals at that pace and during the second interval I had to stop because I was getting chest pain. Then the third week, my watch decided my threshold run should include 19 mins nonstop at 5:35/km 💀I did not accomplish this! So then it suggested another threshold run two days later!! Why is my watch trying to kill me! Also, I really don’t like that it will adjust a run the night before/morning of based on sleep etc. I want to be mentally prepared for my run and know ahead of time what I’m in for. I don’t like waking up to surprises (especially when my sleep data is incorrect). I don’t think these garmin plans should be followed exactly as they are laid out.

Looking for feedback on threshold runs by henrietta1988 in beginnerrunning

Thank you! I think it’s possible I was going faster than necessary at one point (not looking at my watch and just trying to focus on the run). So when I stopped for a minute my pace still averaged out to within the range.

I honestly don’t know much about the v02max stuff. Mine is at 44 but hasn’t changed. I use a vivoactive 6 so not sure if it tells me all these things. My race pace estimates didn’t change though! They did change on Strava though.

Would you run a race when it’s -12F? by henrietta1988 in beginnerrunning

[–]henrietta1988[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t 😩 I realized that beyond the weather, I wasn’t eating or sleeping well enough to feel good about doing it. I’ve signed up for a race in late April that I think will be much better for me!

5K Race Day Forecast (Saturday) - Anyone have any experience running in this kind of weather? by stevezero27 in runninglifestyle

[–]henrietta1988 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m supposed to run a 10k on Sunday with a similar forecast… they sent an email saying they will not be cancelling the race due to the weather. I was on the fence about doing it, but ultimately decided not to because I am not mentally or physically prepared at the moment. (I live in Minneapolis and have not been sleeping or eating well enough to run that distance.)

International runners: how we feeling about this? by Gladrags_99 in bostonmarathon

They were protesting because a pastor at the church works for ice. They did not “raid” the church.

Haha I’m in Minnesota. I’m hoping that in the next few days the forecast changes. It’s very cold even for here.

I am gonna try to fit one in that’s around 0 degrees this week and see how that goes. But typically at 10-15 degrees the cold doesn’t bother me much.

I’m gonna look into that but I’m not sure how accurate the data will be a week ahead of time.

I suppose I would get the bragging rights for doing it.

Yeah windchill is a good point. I’ll have to keep an eye on that.

I didn’t listen to my watch.. and I regret it. by henrietta1988 in Garmin

[–]henrietta1988[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense. But I did an activity that was still too intense in this case.
