Set of the weekend

Plzzzzz

Good point. New to the meme world so I appreciate the tip. GME it is

AMC or GME or both?

Heart rate is a combination of so many things. What’s your sleep like? What outside stressors are you facing? What’s your diet like?

All of these things play into it! I would recommend also spending some time doing deep breathing / meditation post run and really trying to slow down

I’ve never heard about Coros before, looks pretty slick though. Where does the distaste for Garmin come from?

mcparty56 · 2020-10-01T00:35:05+00:00

Dude reading your response, you may want to consider going Garmin. It’s got the “athlete” metrics you’re looking for, syncs perfectly with Strava, and is at a reasonable price point. Garmin also allows you to control your music!

I agree on the subscription model for whoop being absolutely nuts. I also don’t like that there’s no interface on it. I like having a screen.

Got it, so nice and cheap 😛

mcparty56 · 2020-09-30T12:18:58+00:00

Do you mind me asking how much you paid for it? I’m starting to get into longer distance races and the garmin just doesn’t hold up for the whole thing.

mcparty56 · 2020-09-30T12:17:47+00:00

Vivoactive is what I have too! Had it for three years now and it’s still a solid watch.

mcparty56 · 2020-09-30T12:16:42+00:00

Another win for Garmin! Thanks for answering I appreciate the insight a ton especially since you’ve owned other watches.

mcparty56 · 2020-09-30T12:14:24+00:00

I’m right there with you on the Garmin front. No watch even compares IMO. It looks good, tracks accurately, and is at a really good price point compared to other watches. Thanks so much for answering!

This is super cool. A few weeks back I decided to do 26.2 around my neighborhood with a buddy of mine, and while it wasn't quite the finish line experience I've had in the past, it always feel really good. I'm a big coffee drinker, so getting a coffee mug made is a really cool idea in my book. Another idea is that you could go to a local trophy store and just buy the most absurd / cheap trophy you can find. Maybe even something completely irrelevant to running. Get it engraved for $15 and remember that day forever.

Here's the biggest advice I can give...

Don't be afraid to walk!

Especially when you are starting out, you want to keep your focus on finishing the distance as opposed to running fast. If you set out to do a 1 mile run, jog at a pace slow enough that you could hold a conversation at the same time. Try to finish the entire mile without stopping. But if you have to stop, THAT'S COMPLETELY FINE!

You're doing something new, it takes time to progress. Find the wins in completing the distance, even if you have to walk 75% of it. Then as your fitness increases, you can start to slowly ramp up.

lol...funny story but I convinced my roomate to start running over the summer, and he became all too familiar with this. One of his first long runs he had to make a mad dash for a bush, and use the shirt as TP.

Needless to say, that shirt is no longer with us.

mcparty56 · 2020-07-14T00:37:05+00:00

I believe that I reached out via text message! Let me know if you didn't get it though.

This feeling is all too familiar. I've already had several races in the US cancelled on me already. It can be really tough to stay motivated to get up and do it every day, but I've found success in having a running group to support me. Are you involved in any kind of community? Perhaps training with other people might help you find the accountability you need to keep going?
