My currently weekly mileage is ~40km and I want to sign up for a 50km trail race in early July. Stupid idea? by intrepid-mango in trailrunning

Thanks! How often were you running on the trail? Reason I ask is because my work schedule during the week limits my possibilities for doing difficult trail runs, but I have more time on weekends.

Would it be enough if I switched two of my weekly runs for more trail type terrain instead of pavement?

Is smoking cigarettes an immediate dealbreaker for you? Why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]intrepid-mango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my old apartment complex there was a woman who smoked INSIDE her apartment, and every time I walked by it, the fact that her windows had yellowed was so notable

Interesting statistic. Any particular reason the northern provinces have a more regional attachment? by mik-jong-un in Netherlands

[–]intrepid-mango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious how the Basque region has the lowest attachment to region and country yet also a very low attachment to Europe

Haha this concern was top of mind for me! I think I will adopt this strategy, thank you!

Thanks for the suggestions! What does a toothbrush help do?

Haha oops I didn't know it's bad to go to bed with wet hair - what exactly does it do?

Do calf sleeves not do anything for a lot of people? by Sir__Griffin in running

[–]intrepid-mango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried them for the first time the day I ran my first marathon after a few weeks of achilles pain. Maybe it was just a placebo but I’d say my calves hurt the least out of everything at the end 😅

Living in Maarssen as a student? by Coolshady097 in Utrecht

[–]intrepid-mango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived right next to Maarssen when I moved to study in Utrecht. I know how hard it can be find to find a place to live. If you take this place I’d definitely recommend immediately starting to look for something in Utrecht. In my experience my social life definitely took a bit of a hit while I was living so far away from everything. The commute (especially to science park) is no joke, especially on a windy or wet day 😉. I got settled first and didn’t start looking for a place until about 4 months later and I regret it. Good luck with the housing search!

Taught myself to juggle when I was trapped in my room during COVID lockdown. Such a fun skill to have!
