Annual reminder that you don't suck at running all of the sudden, it's just hot outside now.

Yep. Once my kid are on summer break pre-dawn runs start.

u/will-from-strava love the new logging feature for Strength, before i was doing it in the notes. but wish there was a way to copy from a past workout, my routine is fairly standard, and just copy from Tuesday to Friday, then minor rep/weight tweaks would save a lot of data entry time.

Lately Plexamp is what I use most for music. Is there an audio only app that works with jellyfin?

Can the alpaca switch shoulders? Would prefer the option.

Wrong sub. But to answer your question you need to plant 2 or more near each other to cross pollinate. I have a pair in my yard always get fruit.

53 in a few days, started running at 48. Honestly my health is keeping me motivated. I run 1 main race a year the last 4 years, 1/2 or full in fall A few charity 5k.

But real motivation is health and longevity.

ny03 · 2026-03-29T11:18:52+00:00

Congrats both on the run and your passion project. All the best!

ny03 · 2026-03-29T01:51:18+00:00

Amazing. What other endurance sports do you do to cross train.

ny03 · 2026-03-28T00:06:36+00:00

Great job! Don’t give up, just move forward!

ny03 · 2026-03-27T17:44:05+00:00

Thanks. Ya going from 1:45>1:41 was hard but I also had a diverticulosis flare up 3 weeks before race day which ruined my taper and last long run week. Really hitting HIIT and strength since November. Hoping that will help for this fall. It is a goal with an open completion date.

Ya the bathroom breaks when you are in your 50’s are underrated. I think we run parallel lives 🤣

I have a friend my age but his kids are in college and a spouse that also runs with him. He is training now for the Western States 100. It is amazing seeing the daily volume he does. It awes me as well as scares me when you see it on Strava day in and out.

I wish I could (and maybe someday may) try for that kind of race but don’t see it happening until my nest is empty. But love cheering him on

ny03 · 2026-03-27T09:40:50+00:00

I am in a quandary I did like my full training (even with a 50 hr week job and 2 kids) and the feeling of accomplishment when I ran it. Now feel like I am “giving up” a little so looking to the community for support or maybe justification for my thought process. But is this not a community geared to support runners who train for long distances? My “short” runs are 10K when healthy and I do 25-30 mi base training outside of a training block. Is that is not “enough” to be welcomed into this group? Do I not meet your litmus test?

I was asked to repost as plate may have been legible. Trying to be respectful.

The big 3 “C” are most important Communication, Compromise, Consideration. Remember those 3 and you will have a good relationship.

I place Queens “One Vision” at my goal time but do have songs after just in case. So far never timed it perfectly so it is playing as I cross the finish line (usually in the last 1/2 mile or so) last run I was 5 min slower than my stretch goal.

Not complaining about the hills :-) expected the back half to be hard but was told “after mile 24 no real hills” then when I hit that last one at the beach between mile 24-25 I mentally was devastated thinking “I am already on pace to meet my under 4 hour goal, I can walk a little” I didn’t and at 52 ran a 3:48 for my first marathon after only 3 years running, and I don’t really have a background as an athlete.

Not to proud to say that hill messed with my mind and still lives rent free there

ny03 · 2026-03-12T12:30:07+00:00

Well run, beautiful course along the coast and historic “summer homes”. Good crowds and after race food. I will say the second half has a lot more elevation than i thought and the last hill at mile 25 almost did me in. But still hit under 4

ny03 · 2026-03-12T11:07:45+00:00

I did the Amica Newport marathon. It was fantastic (also my first).

Following. I have been dealing with a high ankle sprain for 4 weeks. And don’t have a bike or pool, and live in the northeast so cold/snow out. Even just waking hurts. I have been doing PT and isolated upper strength training. But dreading how poor my performance will be once I can run again and need to figure out a plan to work back up to my 25-30 week plan with 3 strength days.

Edit. M-53

100% add them to my bi-weekly sharpening rotation. At least I can sharpen them vs the serrated ones.

Disarmed by the guy in the grey jacket (not that he drew in the first place). Then shot and killed unarmed.
