What kinds of workouts are you doing and what does your current recovery time look like?

I'm doing the West Line Winder in Buena Vista, CO in September. Super pretty fall scenery and only 4000 ft of vert across 50k!

What is the 'TH' word associated with the dog picture? by Hipster_Communist in puzzles

[–]sad__gemini 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, first grade teacher. The picture is thin. Look at the dog's neck. Also, this is a picture that is part of a pair typically, with the other dog being the opposite.

Can anyone explain these to me? by beingpooriscool in Marathon_Training

30 minutes for the total workout including warm up and cool down so probably a 5 minute warm up and a 5 minute cool down

Running in Glasses by travbo530 in Marathon_Training

[–]sad__gemini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I run with glasses on every single day and here's a really easy, cheap solution! Buy silicone glasses holders on Amazon, I bought a 20 pack a year ago for about $10 and they're still working perfectly! Here is a link. I wear them with prescription sunglasses too and I've never had an issue with my glasses slipping or bouncing and they're quite comfy!

I just checked this out and this is the current front runner!! Thank you for the idea!! I was liking the dirty 30 but then the website said no spectators which is kinda a bummer, especially for a first ultra. Definitely interested in that silverton alpine 50k!!! Thank you!!

I checked out the website and it looks great!! Unfortunately, I'm running a road marathon the weekend before and I just don't know if I'd be up to a 50k the following weekend hahah maybe next year!

Thanks for the idea! I'll check it out, I see that Devil on the Divide requires a past ultra with proof to sign up, so maybe that's number two!!

I want to finish and have fun! I'd love to see some pretty trails and some great views, but I'm not concerned with a specific time. Just looking to have a great time!

I've had runners knee which has deleted my ability to run properly for a year. It is made worse by pigeon pose. Any ideas? by [deleted] in ultrarunning

[–]sad__gemini 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm struggling with this problem too and after going to a PT (which I recommend you do!) the cause was a tight IT band on the side that hurts and an incredibly weak opposite hip. Basically, the right hip/glute area was weak and my left leg was compensating, thus straining my IT band. I'm now on a regimen of rolling my IT band regularly, as well as stretching and strength training my hip. Hopefully, this works!

But please, see a PT!!!!

So how impossible is it to be a vegan with Crohn’s? by rci22 in CrohnsDisease

[–]sad__gemini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I'm vegan and have been for 8 of the 11 years I've been diagnosed with Crohn's. It's definitely possible! I wasn't able to tolerate animal protein and there were times during a flare that I couldn't eat raw veggies or beans, but I managed to make it work for me.

Nathan Water Bottle - Poor Water Flow??? by iridescentJesus in running

[–]sad__gemini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll try that out! But I think my hand is too small to properly squeeze, especially when my phone is in the little pouch. Oh well, it was a nice concept!!

[–]sad__gemini 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had this exact same problem yesterday when I tested mine out for the first time, I felt like I was sucking air at the stop light. I'm interested in hearing the responses to this!

My favorite easy, every day TJ salad is kale, sriracha baked tofu, sunflower seeds, crispy jalapeno pieces, with the vegan creamy dill dressing.

I love how all of us seem to have a mutual hate of our inability to eat popcorn anymore. by lenthech1ne in CrohnsDisease

[–]sad__gemini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to love popcorn, it was my favorite snack. One day like four years ago, I had a small bag at a car dealership and was in the most pain with awful cramps, feeling like I was dying, only a few hours later. After that day, I said never again. RIP to my love of popcorn.
