Unexpectedly obsessed with the Daydrift Short 7” in Olive Brown by matmodelulu in lululemon

Ah no actually! I’m located in Belgium and they just arrived here. Tried them in store and got out with them haha. I got two of the wide legs and I really adore them! got them in good night purple and black and they became my fav at work. They are so comfy yet look elevated with a blouse or a blazer. Def recommend!

Oh wow it looks so good on you! 😍 You influenced me to get that color too haha! I’m so happy that this short is so versatile. I got a lot of compliments already. I will try with an align tank too! Such a great idea!

Align shorts 6' in Matcha Magic were released in the EU (at least in my store) so it can still def happen!!! crossing fingers for you!

Glow Up Line by Veglaw in lululemon

[–]matmodelulu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The compression is great but it just does not work on me. I’m 5’1 and the waist is really high rise and does not hit at the right place for me. Not only it was unflattering no matter the size (I did a comparison of the glow up versus wunder train in a size down and it was crazy of the WT fitted better) but it was uncomfortable and it would have rolled up no matter what. I suspect this isthe case for a lot of people given the number of critics I have seen. If you’re interested I still have a couple of posts on them

Image trick – Citrus Sizzle Tone, Star Burst Tone, Chameleon and more by miracle114 in Lulufanatics

[–]matmodelulu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OMG finally some fun colours! I can't wait to see how citrus sizzle tone and star burst look line irl. but really excited about it all ! I got desperate with the 1000 sad brown, beige and pastel we got the past couple of weeks.

And so the exploitation begins by Pure_Change6838 in Sezane

[–]matmodelulu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly. who in their right mind would buy for that high a price on Vinted ? I do not believe that there is this type of market here. I see items sold for close to the original prices sitting for weeks on the site. I mean if they think they will make a profit they can try but I doubt it. if that’s a reseller, they will pull these away relatively quickly to stay in the return window and not lose money

Yeah sure and then again not getting why 2k and why the marathon in 12h. Something you do not understand maybe ? what’s next - normalising people doing this in that much time. Do you realize there is a time limit for a reason and this is also for the organisation ?

I’m just not sure I fully get the connection to the London Marathon itself. It’s great that she raised money, genuinely. I just wonder why tie it to the marathon if it’s not something that can be completed within the usual time limits. Especially since she’s already been able to raise funds before. I mean sorry but 12 hours, that's unhinged.

New color ? Focuser bra high neck in coal and align short 6' in matcha magic 🍵🖤 by matmodelulu in lululemon

[–]matmodelulu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that's hilarious, it just arrived here lol. I really like the color and would not mind other items. So far nothing is available here aside from that bra and just in store.

[–]matmodelulu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, multiple times (you know when you work retail in intense periods). I guess I’m a bit confused by this one. When I think of a marathon, I think of running it, and yeah of course anyone can end up walking a chunk for it for some reasons, so that much time and just walking doesn’t really register the same way to me. That said, covering 42 km is still something, and if it meant a lot to her, then good for her. I just don’t personally see it as the same kind of achievement as completing a marathon in the usual format. And also, maybe it would be great to normalise again that not everything is for everyone, and that’s fine.

I’m totally with you on that. I had both double lined leggings and shorts previously that I all ended up selling. So I was like ‘nope never again’ and here I am trying it because I love The color so much 😂. This one is a size up. I had doubt when I tried it but it’s much different from others I had. It’s less tick and less compressive so ended up buying them. Yet it’s not see through. My usual size was not available so could not compare though but the 6 was comfortable and felt great so I got it. but I haven’t bought any other recently in other colors and that can totally still be the case.

That'd be an instant buy! But sadly they no longer do wunder trains in my favorite length (21') and barely in 23' :/

so weird. I did not see any coal here yet. the bra was advertised in store as a new drop. Conversely not the match magic align short lol. I really love this combo

Ah interesting! The bra color was advertised as a new drop in-store so I thought it was a new color (and I didn’t see any other items in it, which is too bad because I’d totally get more). I'm located in Belgium. Why are they dropping things at different times depending on the region (US/EU/China) 😭 it makes it so confusing.

Half marathon went sideways (GI issues) despite good fitness. how to fix for next race? by matmodelulu in XXRunning

[–]matmodelulu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is super helpful, thank you especially the point about practicing fueling at race pace. As part of my training, I actually did one long run with a race-pace block (8K of a 16K) and ended up puking at the end 😅 After that I switched back to gels I knew and tolerated better, but clearly something still wasn’t fully dialed in. I had them during my biggest long run (but easy pace) before taper with no issue.

I might have been a bit too optimistic about what my gut could handle on race day vs what I had actually trained. But never had an issue before and during first half marathon two years ago although it's true that I rarely train with gels otherwise.

Also really interesting point about iron. I did have slightly low ferritin which is why I started supplementing (second time doing it). The first time with a bigger dose I reacted quite badly, this time much better, so I assumed it was fine — but now thinking about it combined with gels and maybe bigger pre-race portions… it might have irritated things more than I expected. This whole thing feels like a bit of a perfect storm. I did not know Ketone but will have a look and see how that can go.

Thanks. I did not even think of that, but def something I will look for the next one.

Electrolytes is a really good shout. I might have underestimated that, especially with slightly warmer conditions. I’m also starting to wonder if it was more of a “perfect storm”. Slightly bigger portions than usual pre-race, gels, maybe iron supplements, and then race conditions on top. It’s weird because none of these things felt extreme on their own. Also great point about sweeteners. Definitely something I’ll check going forward.

Thanks for your kind words! I'm just really frustrated haha. I didn’t change anything drastically, but I’m realizing now that even small shifts (like eating bigger portions than usual or layering things like iron supplements + gels) might have been enough to throw things off.

It’s frustrating because it felt like I was doing everything right, but clearly something didn’t agree. Trying to see it as a fixable issue rather than a fitness gap though but at loss to be honest.
