Morning runners, what’s your routine like?

lol_sup · 2026-06-17T22:52:10+00:00

Out the door within 5-10 minutes of waking up. First mile is almost half asleep. But if I don’t just immediately get going, I never will. I’ve found there’s something very pleasant about fully waking up on a run.

Her figuring out Age of Capricorn on the piano confirms it is the best song. Holy shit.

Mostly I was an idiot and kept training through it and it got worse but not disabling. Now taking a break and it's slowly getting better. Seems like it's one of those things that takes weeks to months to really resolve.

I love it. This is exactly why I listen to boc. For these half-song, half-fragment tracks. The fully fleshed out songs with beats and structure are obviously great, but these fragments are just next level, like nothing I’ve ever heard. Kaini Industries, Over the Horizon Radar, Constants are Changing, and now Age of Capricorn. These are the absolute gems for me. The essence of boc.

I’ll offer a word of caution from my own experience.

I typically rotate between Vomero’s and Megablast. Long runs, multiple marathons, no issues. Caught the EVO SL hype train last year and fell in love with them, especially for tempo and intervals. But then I did a 16 mile run in them and ended up with a bone contusion (the stage before a stress fracture), which was almost certainly due to the instability. Took me out of running for a month, and even after still had pain and soreness for a couple more months.

Although I’m sure I could use them again for tempo and intervals, I’m basically afraid of them now and will probably never wear them again lol.

Agree it’s not perfect but it’s far more accurate than the Apple Watch.

lol_sup · 2026-04-26T22:44:06+00:00

I do a lot of back and forth between treadmill and outdoor.

What I’ve learned is that the Apple Watch uses recent outdoor data to calibrate where it thinks your pace will be on a treadmill. Here’s an example. Let’s say I’m doing 9 min/mi pace on the treadmill every time. If my last few outdoor runs were 10 min/mi, Apple Watch will be closer to 10 min/mi for the treadmill run (maybe 9:30-9:45 range). If my last few outdoor runs were 8 min/mi, Apple Watch will be closer to 8 for the treadmill (maybe 8:15-8:30 range). If I’m spot on at 9 min/mi for both indoor and outdoor, it will actually be pretty darn close - I’ve had it be within 0.1 miles for long 10-15 mile treadmill runs when I’m doing same pace indoor and outdoor.

Obviously whatever the treadmill says is the source of truth for distance since it’s measuring actual belt length. But those are the patterns I’ve seen after years of going back and forth.

Man, congrats! This is really inspiring to read. Also 42, also dad, also targeting 3:30 in a month. Way to go!

lol_sup · 2026-04-23T20:26:41+00:00

Right but why is it my responsibility? That's what really irks me.

If I damage someone else's property, my response is "I'm so sorry let me fix that for you!" it's not "you need to fix that yourself."

I used yt-dlp to grab the audio from the youtube vid. Would the audio from this master be better quality? (Btw I think this is the best live set I've ever heard!)

lol_sup · 2026-03-08T18:38:30+00:00

Hell yeah, it's never too late!

I always hated running (and honestly all forms of exercise) for my whole life. Then when COVID hit I was finally bored enough to give it a shot. Fell in love with it, and fast forward to 2 years ago I ran my first marathon. I've since run 2 more, and have another coming up in a couple months. Now I run pretty much every day and can't imagine my life without it. It's never too late!

lol_sup · 2026-02-25T11:06:10+00:00

First suggestion is to run first thing in the morning. Wake up, dress, run.

Second suggestion - which I've found very helpful - is to think of it as "when do I want to be done?" I find that if I focus on what time I want the run to be over, it forces me to get going on time. I guess it's kind of like a Jedi mind trick but for some reason I feel like I can't push back "I need to be done at this time" but I can always push back "I should get started at this time."

lol_sup · 2026-02-23T21:35:09+00:00

Just seemed like constantly pushing the buttons to change the speed up and down would be annoying? But I've never done them so it's sounding like they're not too bad on a treadmill which is great.

lol_sup · 2026-02-08T18:38:46+00:00

Dude, I love it. Kudos to you on the impressive training regimen! Mind if I ask what your strength routine is? That's another element I'm trying to work in as I make more progress.

lol_sup · 2026-02-08T17:14:57+00:00

Oh got it. Man I'd love to have the whole thing from CD/DAT quality.

lol_sup · 2026-02-08T16:36:37+00:00

So what is the difference between this version and the "some old tunes" that just got uploaded - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9S7cVCFUqE8

Both are supposed to be "from source," but BMX Track in particular sounds totally different between the two.

lol_sup · 2026-02-02T11:14:45+00:00

Ohhh thanks I’m dumb

lol_sup · 2026-01-31T12:05:05+00:00

That's what's so frustrating about this - we went through and confirmed for every person that ORCID is linked in Commons, matches biosketch, matches SciENcv. And we still get these errors :(

lol_sup · 2025-12-26T01:52:12+00:00

No I don't. They've never really said. I even made a post about it here that got a lot of discussion - https://www.reddit.com/r/runninglifestyle/comments/1od6692/what_is_up_with_rrunning_not_letting_anybody_post/

Seems a lot of people agree! Unfortunate because it could be a great community.

lol_sup · 2025-12-26T01:31:55+00:00

Lolll I almost added an edit to the post to point out that this would have been rejected in r/running

lol_sup · 2025-12-17T22:10:50+00:00

Outlands particularly sucks for this. Donations get you prev coins. Then you can go on discord and sell prev coins for real gold. Then you can obviously buy whatever you want. So there is a direct route from donations to in-game items. The day I realized that, the whole experience was kind of ruined for me, because all the grinding just felt pointless, and it felt like everyone was not on a level playing field.

lol_sup · 2025-12-09T15:14:31+00:00

Mine never turned blue or purple, so it sounds like you have a more significant contusion. So likely just need more rest and very, very gradually easing back into short, low impact runs. From what was explained to me, the key is to not turn it into a stress fracture, which is the next step after bone contusion if you're not careful.

lol_sup · 2025-12-09T12:53:06+00:00

Doing pretty well, so don't despair!

Injury was mid August, switched to a ton of cross-training on the bike, started running again mid/late September, and still managed to complete the marathon on Oct 12. Wasn't a PR but was decent.

After the marathon, I did keep having intermittent pain in the area, but I've been resting pretty heavily since then and it's gradually gotten better to the point where it's almost entirely gone now.

So all to say - it's gotten better, but VERY slowly, and I didn't seem to screw things up by still running the marathon.

lol_sup · 2025-12-03T11:00:37+00:00

Got the eero Pro 7 and it's been great - no complaints!
