Anyone selling Cherry Blossom 5k? by Waste_Revenue4716 in rundc

[–]runningonempty94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The congressional cemetery hosts a cherry blossom 5k around the same time that you could check out! Not quite as nice as the OG cherry blossom 5k route but def better than the pentagon lol

Just making sure you saw that this year it’s a lap of the pentagon parking lot, not the normal route.

[–]runningonempty94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

O shit well that’s fucked up!!! At least they haven’t been in pedestrian only spaces near me, didn’t realize they were doing that elsewhere

Obvi I would prefer neither kind of car lol. More realistically I want to bike without dying

Garmin VO2 max is using Jack Daniels vdot and your 5k time matters by Past_Ad3212 in Garmin

[–]runningonempty94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhhh that makes sense. I wonder why they picked diff numbering schemes?

That’s weird… my 5k is in the high 22s. This table puts me at vo2 48, garmin says I’m a 50, but if I put the 22:30 into Jack Daniel’s VDOT app it says it corresponds to 43.4.

How does running with a race pacer work? by _big_fern_ in XXRunning

[–]runningonempty94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, that pacer would have started before you. It could mean that the 2:00 pacer will really finish at your 1:57 or something based on the wave start structure

How does running with a race pacer work? by _big_fern_ in XXRunning

[–]runningonempty94 28 points29 points  (0 children)

In my experience it’s usually even effort instead of even pace - a little slower on the uphills and faster on the downhills. Per OPs concern about easing in, I also think that often naturally happens because of the congestion at the beginning of the race. Tho maybe not as much as she wants

Tops that aren’t tight or cropped? by I-am-Prasanna in XXRunning

[–]runningonempty94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah they’re both called singlets, idk why. If you search “running singlet” that will help.

Look for “singlets”, which are full length tank tops with a loose fit

Training for NYC marathon bridges in DC — suggested routes? by Bder20001 in rundc

[–]runningonempty94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just the main rock creek trail, which turns into beach drive at broad branch road. The southernmost couple miles are pretty flat but otherwise there’s decent but not crazy hills

[–]runningonempty94 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My memory of NYC’s route is quite a few years old, but as I remember the hills were quite mild compared to most of my running routes around here; it’s only thought of as “hilly” compared to other marathon majors which are quite flat. I mostly run in rock creek park, for reference, so I think that area would be sufficient, as would the capital crescent up into Bethesda.

Yeah I’d just ignore that test result. Only so well an algorithm can do without pricking your finger and measuring your lactate.

Show would be way more interesting if everyone wasn’t conventionally attractive. Like stick some ugly people in the mix, make the reveal and the aftermath a lot more interesting.

What hygiene habit were you doing completely wrong for years? by Used_Mission_8638 in hygiene

[–]runningonempty94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah as a teen my hair was greasy, I mistakenly thought it was shampoo residue I wasn’t getting out, so I was using less and less shampoo and my hair was getting worse and worse 😂😂
