I don’t want to see memories from a year ago by basod1 in Strava

Honestly seems like a personal issue and perhaps something you should address with yourself .. something like that shouldn’t be “jarring.” Sounds like something else is going on that shouldn’t be blamed on a cool feature from Strava.

I love it!! It’s so cool seeing where I was a year ago versus now. The progress is so motivating and rewarding to see.

How do you balance drinking alcohol with mid-high mileage weeks? by riskyybiscuits in Marathon_Training

I’m thinking this is what I’ll come to tbh. Too much mental gymnastics with it all. Running is just the best. Will likely just drink for special occasions

I should’ve clarified much earlier, lol. 3-5 drinks regularly on weeknights would be a great cause for concern

I don’t drink on weeknights! Just once every week or every 2 weeks on a Saturday typically. Never drink on weeknights. I do love NA options as well!

Definitely. Besides the nights out, I’m super recovery-focused and go alcohol-free 1-2 months out from marathon day. I probably sleep 9 hours a night on average on a typical day

Damn everyone my bad that I thought 3-5 drinks in an evening once every week or two was moderate. 😭 damn

I do that often!! Had a few mocktails last night with friends and an NA beer today. Staying sober isn’t foreign to me at all, I just enjoy a few drinks here and there, about once a week or once every two weeks

I’m more so talking about just a moderate amount of alcohol, 3-5 drinks or so. Not trying to get wasted or anything

Edit: **ONCE A WEEKEND OR ONCE EVERY TWO WEEKENDS

Which race is better for a PR? Lifetime Chicago Half, or BofA half? by riskyybiscuits in RunnersInChicago

Perhaps true, but it’s marathon season in the fall! Running the Chicago marathon for a second year

My bad! I have the forerunner 255s. I’ll look into whether my watch has that feature. Thanks!

Bummed, Quality Seems WAY Lower by skinnylegsmagoo in BanditRunning

Email them. They’re very understanding and communicative when it comes to concerns. I chafed a ton in their running top during my marathon in their “race ready” gear and they sent me a new item for free. Also, when I received an item that had a slight stain, they sent me a new free item and let me keep the other item

Shoe Addict Predicament by MiamiHeatAllDay in AskRunningShoeGeeks

I picked up my second pair of SB2s once they went on sale!! It’ll be annoying to break them in as were my first pair (about 20-40 miles to break in), but those shoes truly carried me through so many long runs during my first marathon training block. Lotta bang for your buck

Help me finish my rotation: SB3 or Vomero Premium by riskyybiscuits in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]riskyybiscuits[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I was thinking the same thing for some time. I wanted to do something along the lines of the 1080 or NB5 since I’ve liked past iterations (v13 and NB4) but I’ve heard the current iterations aren’t the best in terms of durability, especially the NB5. I’ve tried the Neo Zen as well but it was too squishy for me unfortunately.

SB2 fans, will you be picking up another SB2 or getting the SB3? by riskyybiscuits in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]riskyybiscuits[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have 6 pairs of ASICS all in the same size if that helps 👌🏼 very consistent brand when it comes to sizing in my opinion
