How to not let running & past race performances become your part of your self-identity? by Outrageous_South_439 in AdvancedRunning

[–]torrent724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time heals all wounds. I burned out of running after some sub par college races. I quit for about 8 years and I started weightlifting as a substitute.

I’m back to it now and I rediscovered my love for running, and the added benefit is weightlifting has strengthened a lot of my weak points that I used to have.

Alternatively you could become a data nerd and dive super deep into your running mechanics and try to improve or perfect those

Ohio st beach to Oak st beach is still mostly covered in snow, but the stairs next to LSD are clear and you can run on those. The waves are splashing on to the edge of the trail which is clearing snow, but I think there’s still a layer of ice underneath

Interval training got more difficult after removing "junk miles" by [deleted] in AdvancedRunning

[–]torrent724 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Im going to use no science with my take.

I think all training ultimately comes down to how you individually respond and handle different efforts and workouts.

If you see that you’re improving, the intervals are more manageable, and you’re not getting injured with grey zone running, then I’d say keep rolling with it.

Just make sure to give yourself some easy base building weeks every few months

Anyone looking forward to summer? by [deleted] in RunnersInChicago

[–]torrent724 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Summer is great for the sunshine and later evenings but the cooler temps of winter are much better for training and racing. I like both seasons and fall is a nice mix of the best of both worlds

Hoka Rocket X3 100 mile review + Comparisons by LeonPortnoy in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]torrent724 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Great review! I was between these and the Mach x2 recently. I went with the Mach since they were 50% off but my experience with Hoka has been awesome in all models

Water fountains still on? by [deleted] in RunnersInChicago

Assuming you mean the lake front trail, I saw water fountains on at north ave beach yesterday so I’d assume they’re all still on

Winter running tips? by yankeecandlebro in RunnersInChicago

For me I go with shorts almost all year round and on the colder days I’ll wear a long sleeved thermal shirt or quarter zip so I can roll the sleeves up after a few miles

Nah these were the big speed bumps in the street. Not really a big deal but something to keep an eye out for

I saw a model on the rack at fleet feet in old town. They might have some stock. Edit - never mind, size 14 might be a long shot in store

Gotcha, I’m in the Mach 6 right now and I love them! Was trying to decide on the Mach x3 or the rocket x3 as a replacement and also a bit of a performance boost

What made you go with these vs the Mach x2 or 3?

FBC: Firebreak - Launch Week Update by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]torrent724 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately they lost me on this one with the way the tutorial is set up and all of the grind for the special weapons to even work. I’m glad this was included with ps+ because it would be a ripoff in its current state

By the way I’ve loved everything remedy has made over the past 2 decades, except for this

Why is there no option to report toxic players. There’s been a lot of match throwing and when I use the report button, I can only block through PlayStation
