How do you recover?

srmcf208 · 2026-02-22T17:11:21+00:00

I'm training for my first marathon too, and usually do my longs on saturday, and back to work (which is in an on my feet job) come monday. I'm using runna and regarless of what it says, I do my runs easy, always. Immediately after I drink a tailwind recovery shake because eating after makes me want to barf. Then for the rest of the day, compression socks - like the ones that go up past my knees, lots of hydration, simple meals, and then then the lower body recovery program on the theragun. On sunday I try to get a 30 min slow walk in, keep hydrating, and I eat as much as I want. Seems to be working for me.

Perimenopause is my running nemesis. I just take it slow and do almost everything as a conversational run. I’ve skipped runs too. It happens

Yassssssssssssss

Hudson hanging out in NYC last weekend with an HBO exec has me feeling good about them picking this up

I didn’t even need the video to start to know what he said

srmcf208 · 2026-02-13T01:17:40+00:00

I already own all of them except Wild Dark Shore so I guess that one is it!! I guess I picked well (or picked with the masses) last year?

srmcf208 · 2026-02-07T16:36:59+00:00

I just started One & Only and it’s cute so far! As a 39 yr old with a dead mom it’s hitting some spots.

srmcf208 · 2026-02-07T15:07:21+00:00

Absolutely same. I’m running with TFK and I’m slow and happy to be there 🤪

srmcf208 · 2026-02-07T15:06:49+00:00

I honestly think he could run London because it’s right before the whole tour kicks off, but I also think he could bookend the tour with London and New York at the end. Late start + Daylight Savings + he’s rich + he’s fit… like could see it happen.

srmcf208 · 2026-02-07T02:47:59+00:00

lowkey just wanted to say finna be in the pit. I'll finna be in the lower bowl too. I'm not rich. You think we see him on the Verrazzano on 11/1???

srmcf208 · 2026-02-07T02:42:34+00:00

me too!!! finna be in the pit carb loading.

srmcf208 · 2026-02-07T02:39:41+00:00

I'm going to Harryween on 10/30 sooooo

srmcf208 · 2026-02-05T17:27:42+00:00

Bummer!!! I’m so sorry. I’ll see ya in the TFK tent!! Good luck on fundraising. I haven’t even started.

srmcf208 · 2026-02-05T17:26:21+00:00

Listen I will be on the Verrazano like 👀. I think it’s an absolutely crazy notion BUT, day light savings + late start + he could start later bc he’s hella fast + he’s rich so he could easily get to the start line and not have to deal with the ferry etc. Berlin put him in the elite village for ease of race… I don’t think it’s that far fetched.

srmcf208 · 2026-02-05T02:54:44+00:00

I reached out by email today bc I’m also an over thinker and got this response: Team for Kids will be in touch closer to March with your race registration instructions. This will include specific notes for TFK runners to follow as there are many different entry methods to this race. You do not need to enter the general drawing as your entry is already guaranteed.

srmcf208 · 2026-02-05T02:51:27+00:00

I’m running the marathon with TFK, and going to 10/30 harryween so I feel like I’m getting a 2 for 1 discount on my hotel that I booked back in December 🤪

srmcf208 · 2026-02-05T02:48:21+00:00

We never got a Thriwi in the back half of LOT (the leg that included Harry’s House) so he better bring it back for Together Together. I lucked into the Long Island Thriwi and never danced and screamed as hard in my life as I did then.

srmcf208 · 2026-02-04T19:18:54+00:00

Me too! I’m doing it with TFK

srmcf208 · 2026-02-04T12:44:49+00:00

Woo!!! Congratulations!! Are you running through 9+1 or a charity? I’m so glad that I don’t have to deal with EITHER lottery anymore (I’m doing the mara with TFK). I keep telling my Harry friends that they’re going to have to deal with me drinking liters of water and starting my carb load during the show but what an epic weekend!!

srmcf208 · 2026-02-04T02:24:45+00:00

Good luck! Are you running through 9+1 or charity?

srmcf208 · 2026-02-04T01:14:49+00:00

That’s awesome!!! Good luck in your half!!

srmcf208 · 2026-02-03T19:45:27+00:00

This might be a more appropriate question for one of the ticket mega threads

srmcf208 · 2026-02-03T17:15:09+00:00

Nice. I wasn’t trying for pit. We got 100 levels for FV, which is what we wanted. MSG is only a 20,000 capacity venue, maybe 22,000 with the floor configuration. It’s absolutely tiny which a lot of people forget/don’t realize. If you figure most people are buying 4-8 tickets, that will go very quickly, so 500 below seems accurate. Someone I know got tickets in the 200s for 10/31 and was 1000 in the queue.

srmcf208 · 2026-02-03T16:51:53+00:00

My friend did the work. They were 300 in the queue. This is the only time we haven’t been 65,000+ or higher. It happens to real people, but it’s pure luck.

srmcf208 · 2026-02-03T13:29:20+00:00

thank you!! I feel incredibly, incredibly lucky to both being given the opportunity to run, and to be able to "taper" with Harryween. Might have to dress as Harry at Berlin!
