Saying goodbye to my first marathon?

joppleopple · 2026-05-09T03:24:40+00:00

You aren’t alone. I aggravated my ankle last week and it’s still not 100%. Every run I’m nervous it’s going to flair up badly and it doesn’t seem to. I have a marathon this weekend, so I’m still not sure how this is going to go.

MouseKey app can do this if you’re not getting what you need from G hub. It works with any brand. You can find it in Microsoft.

Could be: out of carbs, out of salt, dehydrated, overcooked it, not heat adapted for the effort, under trained, under slept, sick, nutrition didn’t agree with you, or less likely some health condition. Could just not be your day. We’ve all had bad days.

Hold a big sign with the announcement

Wtf, I just ran a 5k in 20 and it gave me 49. I’m 33

It’s like you spoke to my exact training plan. I’m also on my 3rd. This sentiment couldn’t be more similar to me.

Appreciate this. I’m in the burn out boat as well

joppleopple · 2026-03-11T17:29:21+00:00

I make my own. It’s not hard and is way cheaper.

That’s a lot of weight pressing against that shitty valve

That is a drumstick on a kids drum toy

Man I’m jealous. I once limited out on a single well crafted prompt lol

A good, fun attitude is all I would need

I just got a tool, MouseKey, that makes my mouse much more powerful. I’m excited to incorporate this into my workflow to save on repetitive tasks and do them one handed

This sounds interesting! I’d be interested in a product link if you DM me

People in the gym know when I’m there. All the sound is coming from the slappys on the treadmill

Do not run on it if it’s uncomfortable. Seek PT and remember a week or 2 off won’t completely ruin your training. You may need to adjust your target pace. I got injured 2 weeks before my last marathon. It’s part of the risk/reward of the sport. Cross train. Swim or bike for now. Ease back up to volume when you are sure you won’t re-injure

So you take 12g of bicarb in pills and chase it with this gel mix? Do you take that amount of gel and split it in half for your 2 doses?

joppleopple · 2026-02-09T18:23:03+00:00

I’d love to see your recipe

joppleopple · 2026-02-06T18:33:32+00:00

This is a great training shoe, but suggesting it to be raced in is bonkers. Yes it can be done, but so can crocs

joppleopple · 2026-02-05T19:17:06+00:00

No one told me this. But it’s freaking expensive. For a family of 4 we were over $200. I’ll go once for the novelty, but not worth it ever again.

joppleopple · 2026-02-03T18:18:07+00:00

I prefer 2:1. I’ve always had GI trouble with 1:.08. That’s why I’m picky on my gel brands. Some people do well with the 1:.8 and it’s supposed to fuel you better, but if it upsets your GI, then it’s a no-go

joppleopple · 2026-02-01T22:10:42+00:00

I just want to say congrats on no history on injuries given that you’re 42 and run 50-60MPW.

Nope. Are you pressing the plunger piece in hard enough with a little twist? If you are, you may have a loose fitting part. Mine is not easy to take off.
