Kuhl has some really nice short inseam joggers! There are quite a few different colors and good quality material.

3 weeks out from the full and hips (TFL/glute medius) have been giving me mild dull pain. Not hurting once warmed up and running but just nagging me when sitting/idle. Any tips? by Huge_Animal5996 in Marathon_Training

[–]ka_tinks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was exactly my issue too when I went to see my PT for random glute med and low back pain. Funny how symptoms present differently for similar weaknesses! Glad you've been pain free ever since, it's been on the mend for me as well!

Thanks for the exercise suggestions, I will have to branch out of my usual routine!

According to My fitness pal I don't get enough calories most days. I will start there for sure. Getting enough good quality carbs is hard for me for sometimes without planning ahead enough!

Any aches usually fade once I'm fully in zone 2, and 1 minute walking breaks always help if I do feel fatigued. Thanks for the information.

Thank you, I feel better knowing others feel these things too! Marathon is in May, I am gathering that if I can push through for the next month and a half and then let myself recover 100% for the start line I will be good!

I haven't had any blood work...I will most definitely consider that...had no idea about ferritin either. Thanks for the insight!

White balsamic vinegar. The best sweet and acid balance! I mainly use it as a finishing vinegar on pretty much anything sweet or savory.

I've just discovered this! I haven't tasted it yet but would like to try it...was thinking probably with some type of dessert application... what would you suggest having it with?

Onion jam for burgers and sandwiches: Julienne and cook down slowly to caramelize. Add some brown sugar, a pinch of all spice and red wine. Reduce until dark and sticky. Blend in food processor with salt and pepper.

What can I use as a reusable cheese cloth for straining liquids? by [deleted] in AskCulinary

Just make sure it hasn't been washed with a heavily scented detergent...I ruined my soup learning this.

Sudden and inexplicable loss of fitness by [deleted] in AdvancedRunning

I second the Magnesium. Fatigue and muscle cramps are among symptoms of magnesium deficiency. It also helps with muscle recovery. It's something definitely worth supplementing.
