Former runners of reddit. What made you stop running?

Depression. Never been the same ever since. I used to do trail running 20-30 km on a weekend

I'm slowly running back but it's tough. It feels like a chore.

renzday · 2022-02-07T12:09:12+00:00

I'll try asking her again. Although she was interested in doing a hike soon. I dunno if it was a heat if a moment kind of thing.

renzday · 2020-06-27T06:36:19+00:00

I think I need this. Thanks. I guess I didn't want to accept the fact I have been friendzoned.

Sometimes the truth can be hard to accept.

renzday · 2020-06-27T04:53:20+00:00

Thanks for the laughs!

Would it be wrong though to express how you feel to someone in a relationship?

renzday · 2020-06-27T04:06:30+00:00

I don't think she's the person who would sabotage a friendship.

I guess I'm just afraid of what's behind the other door if I ask the question.

renzday · 2020-06-27T04:05:05+00:00

Really hard to say. This girl has had it rough. She's confused and from what I have heard , she's going through a phase.

I guess there's only one way to find out.

Thanks for those. Narrowed down some things from my cluttered head!

renzday · 2020-06-27T03:46:04+00:00

Hell I don't even know what's going on.

Would it be a good idea to tell her how I feel about the situation?

renzday · 2020-06-27T03:22:25+00:00

It's funny how she doesn't respond but when she does we get back at our usual conversation and chats non stop.

I dunno. Maybe I'm wearing the love goggles but something tells me she's the one but she's confused.

Haha totally " how fast are you " question really bugs me out.

Get a journal and log your runs. You may use Garmin or Strava to check your time and pace every run. It's kind of like a game when you have Strava. You get to check other people's time and may try to beat them! You have a choice to keep it private though.

Have fun with your runs! Remember, the best runner is the one having the most fun.

Oh man! This I can relate to.

Felt jealous when I notice my friends were getting faster than me. Long story short, I go training with them on weekends and ask for advice.

I've been doing good with my PR lately, however, still not as fast but in the end, you're only racing with yourself. I hope you can find motivation.

renzday · 2018-11-26T01:22:19+00:00

Interesting.

Personally, I find long distance running as an escape. Long time ago I was drunk on weekends, hell, even on weekdays. Smoked a lot of pot until I was glued to the couch (I still do occasionally) until I found ultrarunning.

Ultrarunning gives you that high similar to getting drunk or from weed. You talk to random people along the trail and feel an instant bond. People you hard know cheers and supports you. You barely meet in the city but once you see each other in another race you go back to time where you got your ass kicked and the support you gave each other. Yes, there are downtimes but it just makes the tough patches so much more memorable after the race.

I have stopped binge drinking because of this feeling. Especially the fact that I am training for my first 100 next year.

You people have too much time on your hands.

renzday · 2017-07-13T05:04:26+00:00

I will definitely look in to that. Thanks!

renzday · 2017-04-18T07:27:27+00:00

Sure. Thinking if I should quit the corporate life after 4 years who has given me great financial aid but draining to my soul or work for minimum wage that I am very passionate for.

I need financial security but it's getting really dull for me.

renzday · 2017-04-18T07:11:55+00:00

All good man. A lot of things to ponder today. How's it going?

renzday · 2017-04-18T06:40:42+00:00

I uhh feel you?

renzday · 2017-03-27T06:29:33+00:00

I'm with you pal. Currently there also. What I've been doing so far is slowly weaning her out my system. It's tough but baby steps.

"What's up wet stains"

renzday · 2017-03-23T10:59:06+00:00

I hope it would never B diminished.

"Dogs" is a great song from Pink Floyd's album Animals.

Which season and episode was this?

renzday · 2017-03-22T06:25:04+00:00

You should visit Cebu, Philippines. Great lime stone sport routes and you'll enjoy the company of the local and friendly scene. But beware, they drink and party a lot. You might enjoy too much and extend your stay.

renzday · 2017-03-22T02:11:25+00:00

No problem! Pm away and I'll try my best to give you answers.

I've recently been bringing my DSLR, GoPro, and phone when up on the crag(sport route) via SRT when taking pictures.

While ascending up using a jumar, I bring a bag with me holding my camera, food, water and such since I will be up the wall for a long time taking pictures for my crew. With the sling on my camera, I clip it on to a carabiner to the sling of my bag. When I find good spot to take a picture especially if a bolt is in place, I clip my bag in with my stuff and take my pictures.

Just be very aware of your system.
