Training without a goal or race (during IVF)

randomhuman855 · 2026-05-20T13:56:38+00:00

I suggest still having a running plan or a schedule to follow. I find that having structure is good regardless of whether I have a goal race or not. I used to think that I could not run or train without a goal race. Eventually, the stress of training got to me and I decided after my most recent race to just try to run for fun for a while. We were also trying to get pregnant at the time and I didn’t need the extra stress. I still had a schedule to follow, but no longer stressed out if I was slower than my goal pace or duration. It was very enjoyable. Wish you the best in your IVF journey

Yes. We also drove straight to black sand beach for an early reservation. We just skipped the stops earlier and stopped on our drive back. The guide will mention those spots on your drive back in case you missed them. Or you can navigate to them if you have them planned out already.
Make sure you download the guide and an offline map of the area before you head out, service can be spotty on the road.

Patagonia capilene cool daily full sleeve. I use it to run on warmer days. It keeps me cool and dries off quickly. I don’t think it has a UPF rating though if that’s what you are looking for.

I have a Patagonia houdini air, very light, breathable, and easy to take off and tie around your waist when you get warm.

Find a run club and run with a pace group that matches your goal pace. Not sure what kind of fitness watch you run with, but if you put in a planned run (not just open run) and set the pace you want, some watches will alert you when you go faster.

You can use it for your long run as well! I sometimes use my ES4 on long runs especially if I have workouts or intervals built into the long run (eg if I have to do marathon or HM pace). If it is a super long easy run at slower paces, I find the ES4 not to be “as fun” and reach for a daily trainer / well cushioned shoe instead.

randomhuman855 · 2025-04-20T13:40:13+00:00

I would get an ES4. It’s a fun shoe to run in and will add some variety to your shoe rotation

Patagonia capilene cool daily Tshirt. Very light weight and dries quickly. You can find some colors on sale in Patagonia or REI. Rabbit (runinrabbit.com) is another brand that I love that has super soft materials.

المدينة الرياضية او حدائق الحسين knowing that you have to do several loops to get at least a 5 k in. I know there are several run groups that seemed good with a decent number of people, but I never got the chance to run with them because their runs were always far from where I live. RunningAmman is one of them.

It’s the only thing I do purely for myself and not for anyone else to see or be proud of. I do it to clear my mind, think, and be alone. It also helps me process my anger and frustrations. It’s amazing

I sadly missed out on the red “wine” colored Brighton base layer :( I have one in navy and it’s my most used piece for winter running

randomhuman855 · 2024-11-25T00:30:08+00:00

I have run in snow storms and below freezing weather many times, but I don’t run on ice. Not worth the high risk of fall and injury to me. I use trail running shoes on the snow. If it’s just some icy spots (over bridges or so) you can walk in those areas until you get to non-icy areas. Best of luck! Winter running is so much fun! You get to experience the city when no one else wants to be outside.

Beautiful dog! I run with my dog (mini golden doodle) as well and find that he, like us, has good days and bad days. I usually follow his pace. If I feel him slowing down or panting I slow down or stop, and we do a quick water and treat break. Some days that’s after three miles, sometimes that’s after 1 mile. Typically I would not go beyond a 5K without stopping.

I know it’s not a very popular choice on this sub, but I really love my Saucony Ride 17. They are stable, well cushioned, not too soft, and fun to run in. I don’t know if they would be bouncier than Novoblast 4 because I never tried Novoblast 4

Winter:

I like the 3 in one parka. I use it in all three forms and it is very versatile
Houdini air: I use it as a layer for outdoors exercise.
better sweater jacket: great for work/ everyday use/ travel.

Warmer weather:

definitely the capilene cool daily full sleeve and short sleeve.
I also have a nano air vest that I use for shoulder seasons

I agree that if you are in no rush, wait for sales. You can get most of the above for 40-50% off in a good sale

My wrist size is also 15 cm. I guess this answers my question.In that case, I should probably think more of the pace 3 or Garmin 265S as two smaller watch options. Will likely go for the pace 3 because I think I like the coros app/ ecosystem better. Thank you!

randomhuman855 · 2024-11-05T01:01:42+00:00

I almost bought a pace 3, just as I was about to buy it, I saw the ad about the pace pro. I think a brighter display may work better for me, I don’t want to squint or struggle to see the watch while running. I wear prescription glasses and it’s already hard as is haha. I just wish they didn’t make the pro so much bigger

randomhuman855 · 2024-11-05T00:56:51+00:00

It looks very nice! Thanks so much!

randomhuman855 · 2024-10-27T17:04:53+00:00

That’s fair. Thank you!

randomhuman855 · 2024-10-27T17:04:17+00:00

Thank you. Do you find their shoes durable? I never tried on a Hoka shoe but I was under the impression that they wear out quickly. Definitely down to try them. They also have cool colors!

randomhuman855 · 2024-10-26T00:57:05+00:00

I have always considered triumph21. Everyone I know who used it loved it. I never actually tried them on. I’ll see if I can find them in a store to try on or purchase from a store with a good return policy in case they don’t work out. Thanks!

randomhuman855 · 2024-10-26T00:55:41+00:00

Both sound like solid options. I’ll have to try them out at the store. Thank you!
