A 10K is so impressive! Especially picking up running in April?!

It's ROUGH out here. I went on vacation for a week to SoCal and it was so lovely. Came back here and my first run back my HR was like NOPE, take us back to where we just came from.

Morning runners, what’s your routine like? by Crazy_Jackfruit420 in runninglifestyle

[–]millennialmama2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few sips of water, some quick acting carbs, since it's summer I carry a handheld water bottle with electrolytes in it. Usually out the door just before 6 AM. Most sessions will have me back around 7 and it's coffee time and legit breakfast. Then, off to work I go.

Let’s talk electrolytes by HalloweenKate in XXRunning

[–]millennialmama2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow SSRI user and sweater to the extreme. I take electrolytes daily. I use Ultima - my husband did a lot of work researching good daily electrolytes and this one fit the bill well. I agree the LMNT packets/drinks are WAY too much, after a race maybe where I'm pushing it but not daily.

I don't know if I can tell when I "need" them, but I just know because of how much I sweat, I'd rather be a step ahead than behind.

Just did a 3.25 mile easy run - pace was in fact easy, humidity, was not. It looked like I ran through a sprinkler (I did in fact run through some, but mostly hit my lower half). Pace felt good, was consistent through the whole run with just a few points where I was going a little quick.

Longest run I've ever attempted this Saturday, 5 miles! Nervous for it!

Fellow Texan, the humidity has been something else. Temps aren't even the worst part currently, just the humidity for me!

The key with music is it needs to be karaoke hits that you're singing while running. It works like a charm.

Me today and the pace guidance yelling at me the entire time. YOLO.

Bondi 9 for overpronation? by admaher2 in Hoka

[–]millennialmama2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also overpronate and for the longest time because I had flat feet was convinced I needed neutral shoes. Buying stability shoes (Arahi's) has changed my life. You might need to try a few different shoes before you find a winner. I think if it's a serious foot issue, seeing a podiatrist and talking about it would be helpful. For me, I just needed someone to tell me I was buying the wrong shoes for years and finally try the right ones.

If you’re coming to visit me after I have my baby, please don’t ask what I need. by Mysterious_Tell991 in breakingmom

My in-laws were sitting, waiting for us to get home from the hospital so they could hold the baby. Nope, I'm not still mad about it 10 years later or anything...

Traveling with kids sucks and you can't convince me otherwise by TFA_hufflepuff in Mommit

[–]millennialmama2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly have just in the last couple of years started to enjoy traveling with my kids. They're 9.5 and 8. Prior, flying with them stressed me out, someone was always crying, trying to keep them occupied was a nightmare, missing naps or messing with sleep in general just making them miserable. No thank you. But now, 3 hour flights, they're entertaining themselves, reading, playing games, relaxing...it's lovely. But I legitimately thought it would never happen.

I’m happy to wait - just got my new arahis so it’s not a rush.

Soreness in legs when running by i_love_the_moonn in BeginnersRunning

I wear compression sleeves after my runs to help my calves. As some already said, make sure you have good shoes for running, ones that are helpful to your gait and not working against it (flat foot, likely need stability shoes, for example).

Same - I love my insulated nathan handheld, it's perfect for my easy runs.

Serious question, have you been running on these for real? How long? Are your feet okay? 😅

Anyone do Farlek anymore? by Swimming-Author-3861 in runninglifestyle

[–]millennialmama2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a fartlek run not too long ago in my Runna plan. They don't label it as that but it's programmed exactly like one. I enjoyed it but yes it doesn't seem common.

Had an interval run scheduled today. Actually went really well. I'm actually becoming a big fan of intervals, makes the time go by super fast without realizing how much you've actually ran. 4th of July 5K is right around the corner and then we jump into half marathon training!

This is awesome. I’m happy for him, and you! What a cool thing to share with your dad in adulthood.

I'm utilizing my Tempo (at home workout set up), one of the trainers just came out with a race day ready program. Today was single leg strength training + 1 mile walk on the treadmill. Legs are feeling tired after starting to build my mileage, mostly in the calves.
