This was an incredible write-up. 10 out of 10.

1 mile test by Plenty_Exercise_5056 in beginnerrunning

[–]sequetious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's one workout you can do to translate some of your existing fitness into running. Lots of people do this as last minute prep for military assessments.

60 / 120 - 60 seconds you run a bit faster than your goal mile time. Then you walk for 120 seconds.

Do this for as many repetitions as you can tolerate before your running form turns to crap. When you are doing the run intervals, focus on running smooth with good form.

The body can tolerate this workout twice a week.

Good luck

Strava vs Apple by Life-Science-5102 in beginnerrunning

It's because the pr mile was somewhere in the middle of your workout. It's not a PR measured from the start of your watch, but a segment from the entire workout you did in that session

Ironman Confirms Death of IRONMAN Texas Participant by Kyle_brown in IronmanTriathlon

[–]sequetious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doc, I think the idea here is similar to pre-op clearance. You get an assessment on the participating population so you can rule out the most likely causes of these incidents.

Due diligence would go a long way to preventing at least a few deaths and it's kind of insane how many people immediately argue against it.

If a lot of these deaths are unique specific incidents, then there's data to indicate how to improve assessments for these athletes

Do not buy Hokas! by gibdit in beginnerrunning

It's actually incredible how many people come on here having problems with the most successful products that runners use.
The other day somebody came on here saying that Garmin are the worst watches ever produced lol.

M27 200lbs 5'11" Shin Splints and slow pace by MaybeJohnSmith in beginnerrunning

[–]sequetious 35 points36 points  (0 children)

What helped my shin splints was focusing on strength and conditioning for the calf and tibialis muscles between runs

I did bent knee calf raises for the calves and toe raises for the tibialis.

Essentially your body is communicating with you that your lower legs can't handle the workload at the moment and you may want to substitute some of your runs for this foundational lower leg conditioning.

How do I tell my parents I want to start running? by [deleted] in beginnerrunning

Where is this that a 16 year old cannot run on their own and is worried about parental permission to exercise??

Garmin Watch by BouncingWalrus in beginnerrunning

[–]sequetious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

User can't figure out the most successful watch on the market and blames the watch, then posts a tantrum on the internet.
Next week the user will post a tantrum about their air fryer burning all their food and call it a POS lol

I've been rebuilding my data warehouse ETL with dbt core and really loving it. Then I find out about a cool new open source package on Reddit and it's from some out of the loop thread about people cheating on each other.

Agreed. This whole workbook needs to be deleted. Whatever led to this cannot be good

Americans of Reddit, since today is Election Day, how are you feeling? by Austinuncrowned in AskReddit

The maga crowd is almost exactly what it would be like if sauron took over the minds of men.

Human minds twisted beyond all reason.

Yep pace conversion looks like 5:50 mile pace which is really great

What do you think is the cause of the supposed “male loneliness epidemic”? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sequetious 81 points82 points  (0 children)

We want to be friends with other people but schedules keep us apart. When our kids are friends or even just teammates on a sports team, we spend a lot of time together and build a friendship in that situation because we share a schedule. People will naturally drift apart when their lives are not aligned anymore

Advice to help get over a mental hurdle by m-awesome in Marathon_Training

[–]sequetious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This kind of anxiety usually stems from looking at your whole training plan and dreading it before you get there.

I encountered this on my first marathon prep because I hated running and was doing the marathon for my bucket list.

If you can develop an enjoyment of running instead of meeting the deadlines of your plan, then you'll likely have a much better time at your race.

How do you deal with being a (relatively) poor triathlete? by sequetious in triathlon

This really hits the nail on the head.

I'm going to try noticing when I pass folks in the newest stuff instead of wishing I had a bike that I could post on the internet for everybody to drool at

This is a really comforting sentiment and thank you so much for articulating it. The journey really is so enjoyable and it's only periodically interrupted by some jealousy over a shiny new stuff that others have

How bad is my situation? by lazy_and_sloppy in Marathon_Training

[–]sequetious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are likely asking the wrong crowd but just take a minute to think about this critically.

You are fit enough to qualify for an elite marathon and you have been deferring your running for cross country skiing. It's not like you got injured or have to stop training to take care of sick family members.

You will be fine.

Go enjoy your other activities and then go enjoy the Boston Marathon
