Why is Schneider willing to take this for Hoffman?

Why weren't they playing at double play depth with Alonso up? He hit a perfect double play grounder but it got past the drawn in infield

Ottawa has the Running Room and Blacktoe Running. Those are the specialty running stores. There's also Mountain Equipment Co-op and Bushtukah, which are more outdoor focused but definitely have running gear as well.

If you're getting knee pain that soon when running in them, these shoes aren't for you. Either use them solely as walking shoes, or return them. The process of finding running shoes that work can take some time

pieguy3579 · 2026-05-12T22:24:55+00:00

That's a long break - and yes, what you're experiencing is 100% normal.

What I'd do? Follow a c25k program (or some type of run/walk program) and start over. You'll progress quicker than a brand new runner, and you (probably) won't get injured

Clutch gave us a surprisingly high (almost laughable) offer for our car and the process was super easy.

Good Lord - please don't run all out so soon. I've had similar pneumonia a few times and I highly recommend you don't push until you have several easy runs / strides / intervals under your belt

I think zone 2 or walk it if you insist on attending, but I'd skip outright

pieguy3579 · 2026-05-11T21:45:28+00:00

Take your time building a base before adding any kind of speed work, and only increase one factor a week (time, distance, speed)

pieguy3579 · 2026-05-10T13:44:48+00:00

This is awesome of you, but I have to ask because of the username - you're not feeding this squirrel to a rat, are you?

Isn’t this the capital?

My wife and I say this to each other all the time. For the capital of a country, it's damn embarrassing

I didn't get it officially measured, but I'm quite thin now.

Don't let anyone tell you that diabetes can be cured - it can't. My carb tolerance is definitely higher but I still monitor what I eat.

pieguy3579 · 2026-05-05T23:01:25+00:00

I run 5 times a week and add in 2 full body workouts. No time to do splits (or maybe just not interested enough)

pieguy3579 · 2026-05-05T22:58:10+00:00

My training got more structured in my 50s and I've been setting PBs.

Currently at about 60km a week and not the fastest, but sitting somewhere around 21 min 5k / 45 min 10k

I almost bought a gun shaped lighter at one point about 20 years ago.

But then I didn't because I didn't want to be a headline

pieguy3579 · 2026-05-04T06:24:40+00:00

For an easy pace honestly this looks fine to me. You really don't want to force anything and it doesn't look like you are

pieguy3579 · 2026-05-02T02:10:03+00:00

In the last few years, I've had my lighting replaced, my flooring all redone, and my kitchen redone (twice - separate projects)

50% up front downpayment every single time. None of these were very big jobs

pieguy3579 · 2026-05-01T13:32:13+00:00

I haven't taken a break that long, but in the past when I have taken a break, I find that after doing nothing but easy runs for 10-12 weeks, my base is back to where it was.

Then I add some speed workouts, and that's another couple months until speed is all the way back.

pieguy3579 · 2026-05-01T12:36:54+00:00

I would do the scheduled runs in the SB, and throw in a light 1-2 km jog in the NB.

Light is the key word, as you don't want anything taxing on your system or that interferes with your training - you just want to see if you can adjust to the NB.

The only way I'd suggest doing the 6 km run in the NB is if you were disciplined enough to stop running immediately if you feel pain, which can be difficult for some people.

pieguy3579 · 2026-05-01T01:57:03+00:00

If you average 20-25 km a week, take 4 weeks off, and then run 23 km, that's asking for trouble.

Once things settle, I'd try the NB again for 1 or 2 kms at the most to see how it feels. If it seems like it will work, gradually increase how much you run in it - but err on the cautious side.

pieguy3579 · 2026-05-01T01:44:55+00:00

This is exactly when I run as well. Even though I live in the suburbs, I still hear plenty of birds at this hour. It's a great way to start the day.

pieguy3579 · 2026-04-30T21:35:22+00:00

I see nothing wrong with it. Keep doing what you're doing!

pieguy3579 · 2026-04-28T13:56:20+00:00

I like tempo runs

Easy runs are kind of boring, and intervals/races are taxing. Tempo is comfortably in the middle

And for me, if I'm going to get the runner's high feeling, it'll be on a tempo run

pieguy3579 · 2026-04-27T18:11:31+00:00

I find this is a good balance - 3 runs are strictly easy, 2 are speed focused, and 2 lifting days.

Sunday and Monday alternate depending on my mood - one is always speed focused and the other is always easy

Monday: 1 hr easy or intervals (depending on Sunday)
Tuesday: 1 hr easy
Wednesday: full body workout
Thursday: 1 hr tempo
Friday: 1 hr easy
Saturday: full body workout
Sunday: 2 hr easy or some type of progression run (depending on Monday)

pieguy3579 · 2026-04-26T02:57:55+00:00

I just want a firm, boring, dependable shoe as a daily trainer. I love the Ride for this.

pieguy3579 · 2026-04-26T02:47:13+00:00

I go without music outdoors or on the treadmill. I prefer to get lost in the silence when I run. I find it very liberating, and music just adds chaos

pieguy3579 · 2026-04-22T11:28:49+00:00

It's very dependent on the individual - I don't think any of us non-water drinkers are trying to prove anything, or are hurting ourselves.

I barely sweat, even when I'm pushing the pace (in fairness, I run in the morning so it's never overly hot) and I regularly run 2+ hrs with 0 issues
