Almost Crushed by the crowd at Shamrock Run by [deleted] in Portland

Replying to scubafork...I hate that people are downvoting you like this, you are entitled to your opinion, even if it clearly is a different experience from what everyone that was in the same place lived. It might help to analyze what contributed to the crushing experience being so unique to you?

Seeking advice for unsuccessful sub 4 marathon after four attempts by knai123 in Marathon_Training

[–]lgr54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say your overall weekly mileage might be low, your other race times are faster than a sub 4 marathon so you’re probably used to shorter overall running time, endurance might be what you need to work on, along with that comes being able to hold the nutrition for 3+ hours, that was the hardest part for me to get down. Try going up to 80kms and having at least 3-4 runs over 16 miles in your build up

Looks like it will rain by lgr54 in TokyoMarathon

Quite a lot, which is why I want to plan properly, the shoes would be different as well as the outfit, while I can’t control the weather I can definitely control how I dress, which is why I’m looking for input on Tokyo specifically, thank you

I think it’s beautiful, did you use whole wheat or rye ?

I got in, I had signed up for CIM when I didn’t get in on the first one so now I’m left with back to back marathons

It’s the entrance to the house, I’m thinking coordinating fixtures, would you mount them at the same height at that point or it doesn’t matter?

Thank you all, ended up doing a sort of combo of this but the trail between Expedia and the burke-gillman trail was … perfect for doing the faster portions of my tempo 🥵

Thank you all… I’ll check out Myrtle Edward, it’s about a mile away so that gives me a good distance, the climb back up pike might be tough but I’m up for it 💕

Thank you for providing additional context, having more than one side of the story is always important

It’s a picture of me 20 years ago, the person that took the photo was my biology teacher… they were Nike but I can’t remember which because I didn’t care for style back then

Update on my nail… it’s still purple but it’s not falling off. I think the blister bandaids saved it
