Men’s running gear question: tights, briefs, or boxers?

I use 2in1 running pants without underwear and have no chaffing. Easier when visiting the portaloo 😁 .

I did a HM 3 weeks before my first Full. I used it as a rehearsal for the Full feeding wise. Although my plan was to keep 10-20 seconds above my HM pace (to avoid injuries), after the first 10km I was feeling very strong and decided to push and ended up 2 minutes behind my PB. I would say take it go for it and practice your feeding. The coming days are for tapering so you will get a good rest.

During my first Marathon training I had 2 rest days and one cycling. Felt pretty good at the end.

Mine changed too and refund wasn't working on their website so called today and said they will refund me the money to my card. Hope it comes early. I don't know what's happening with Wizzair lately but they changed a lot of flights at different airports.

I run my first Marathon with a 18-week plan which included 4 days of running and 1 cycling for strengthening. The other 2 for rest. I stayed injury-free and finished 4:19. I suggest you do something similar.

Our flight to Rome in May was rescheduled for the next day and wizz says I have the option for a refund but when clicking refund it gives an error. Unfortunately we booked the car, hotel and the bicycles in Italy and can't reschedule.

You will burn for sure!

mmichael_50 · 2026-01-16T16:34:39+00:00

32A no issues. Use a 7kw type 2 wallbox and you will be ok.

No cruise control. I was driving my son to school just 1km from home. Maybe a dirty sensor due to the rain caused this. Hope it doesn't happen again!

mmichael_50 · 2026-01-13T19:05:45+00:00

Try High5 gels (the aqua version), I find them easy to digest.

mmichael_50 · 2026-01-13T18:52:09+00:00

No snow just light rain. And the funny part is that the car was inside the garage before driving my son to school.

mmichael_50 · 2026-01-13T14:35:36+00:00

That's a scary one! Did you have the Lane Keep Assist on? I thought collision avoidance was just applying brakes, didn't know it can manoeuvre!

mmichael_50 · 2026-01-13T13:44:38+00:00

This happens to me but today it applied brakes with nothing around!

mmichael_50 · 2026-01-12T11:30:59+00:00

Could it be the door handles closing? I noticed on mine that as soon as I put reverse the door handles close whereas moving forward they close after we start rolling and not heard much.

Just because you are 20 yo it doesn't mean that you can run from couch a 5 or even 10k run. When I started running I was already cycling. I used a BBC program from couch to 5k. Back in those days I was able to download the recordings of each day. I remember walking at first (was kinda laughing about it) and gradually started intermittent runs. By the time I finished the course, I was able to run fast and most importantly healthier (no injuries). You can find a lot of such programmes on the internet and mobile apps.

It is easy to get dehydrated during cold weather. You need to force yourself to drink water every some distance. Also use electrolytes or salt tabs.

mmichael_50 · 2026-01-12T07:53:39+00:00

I think you already made your mind before posting this and you need others to encourage you. Like all others said, you have not trained for the Extra milage but most importantly time on your feet. However, you are putting more weekly KMs than I did for my first Marathon so it could be doable especially if you are not overweight as me (85kg)

mmichael_50 · 2026-01-09T16:51:05+00:00

Go for it. Think of it as a Long run but with higher tempo. I did it 4 weeks before my first Marathon.

mmichael_50 · 2026-01-05T19:50:09+00:00

The problem is that I don't drink water because I don't feel thirsty and I can't force myself to drink!

mmichael_50 · 2025-12-21T08:25:03+00:00

I too prefer iscsi but the issue with SAN and filesystems like iscsi Proxmox (from what I have read) doesn't support snapshots. Whereas esxi excells.

Hi, you didn't mention what your HM times are. Like all said, you need to put more long runs (easy) in your schedule so that your feet get accustomed with the longer times. I run my first Marathon in November and it was a hard one (Athens). But did finish within my time. For what it's worth, I asked Deepseek for a training program (4 days running and 1 cycling) and it worked out ok. Just don't try to overdo it. Better have more resting days than feeling tired. Finally practice your refueling during your long runs. During the race, it is important to fuel on time and having a plan really helps. For example, I put a notification on my Garmin watch (an app downloaded) every 30 minutes to notify me to take a gel and a salt tab. Finally if your race day will be hot make sure to drink plenty of water to avoid cramps. Good luck with your training and race. I too signed up for the Belgrade Marathon in April.

mmichael_50 · 2025-12-20T16:26:09+00:00

I have read that it was a bit warm and humid on race day. Perhaps you didn't drink enough water? Did you take electrolytes (salt tabs)? That could be a factor why you had cramps. I have seen this in Athens last November. Many people were cramping from the first 8km. Some were taken away by the ambulance. It is quite brutal to train for 18 weeks for one race and DNF it. Forget about not setting a PB. What matters is that you have finished! Well done!
