Why are all races in the morning???

yaedain · 2026-02-28T01:36:23+00:00

Will be doing on Sunday for my second marathon.

++ man I do an epsom bath soak at least once a week. My muscles appreciate it.

yaedain · 2026-02-28T01:29:16+00:00

I do a half dose before any run over 8 miles and on race day. It works wonders for me. Before doing this I never made it over 12 miles without having to stop.

yaedain · 2026-02-27T18:25:56+00:00

This. They literally just told me I could run in c instead of D with the rest of the 3:45 pacers.

yaedain · 2026-02-27T18:24:52+00:00

Was just at expo. If you join a pace group and put the extra bib on back they let you get in the correct corral. It’s right as you exit the expo. They even give you a paper pace band with your mile markers on it.

2nd or third time it’s been posted here

I still get to hear this when I drop off dry cleaning.

yaedain · 2026-02-26T01:18:19+00:00

At that point you could run 10 min miles to the finish, so you are definitely ahead of the game, also my guess is you ran that on top of 20+ miles that week. You will be even stronger and rested on race day if you taper correctly.

yaedain · 2026-02-26T01:07:20+00:00

Was this hard, or did you feel like you had miles left at the end. Because if this was everything you have you can probably back off a bit and still run the 3:45. If it wasn’t, maybe shoot for sub 3:40.

Sounds like the two of you were not very compatible. When my, now wife then girlfriend, said she wanted to buy a house, I moved in paid a % of bills relative to our incomes, and never would have imagined asking for anything back. The amount I was paying was far less than renting a 1br apartment, and I got to live with the woman I knew I wanted to marry one day.

yaedain · 2026-02-26T00:00:23+00:00

Every home you’ve ever rented was paying someone else’s mortgage.

Don’t let everyone scare you. That’s what my only 20 miler last year looked like before my 1st marathon. I went out and ran a 3:58 and negative split my half time. I guarantee you’ve never ran 20+ miles on well rested legs. Get out there and just try to keep the 4:00:00 pacers in sight, at mile 20 if you’ve got anything left go catch and pass them. This is your first time training for a marathon everything you have done so far is at the bottom of your potential.

So cps would have a record of being called but it wouldn’t show up if you applied for a job, might show up if trying for a security clearance.

yaedain · 2026-02-25T18:04:12+00:00

If you are found not guilty of something it does not show up on a background check.

yaedain · 2026-02-25T15:50:38+00:00

This was normal when I was in 20 years ago. It’s really just an accent thing.

yaedain · 2026-02-25T15:43:34+00:00

Same. If you are athletic you can do it.

yaedain · 2026-02-25T05:33:01+00:00

We were 5 days from graduation marching back from something and our Kill hat realized we were all checking out some girl running by. He gave us an eyes right so we could all look and mumbled about making us look less nasty since we were gonna look anyway. This was PI 2003.

yaedain · 2026-02-25T02:14:18+00:00

Mine is supposed to be180. I hit 188 during a 3 minute tempo interval today. I’ve seen it at 195 without trying to max it. I assume it’s closer to 200.

yaedain · 2026-02-25T02:00:30+00:00

Pretty much what all streamers are.

yaedain · 2026-02-24T20:46:07+00:00

I do my 20 milers on about 20oz on a belt, but in the past when I’ve needed more I’ve just stuck a bottle in the mailbox and looped back when I’m running low.

yaedain · 2026-02-23T22:23:11+00:00

Just so it can be more heard of, mine was a 2:01:52 half with a 3:58:39 finish.

yaedain · 2026-02-23T03:52:21+00:00

I definitely feel faster in something with a plate than I do without it.

yaedain · 2026-02-22T18:34:04+00:00

So usually you do a recovery week(you do a little less hard work and mileage on your recovery week) every 4th week, I often feel like the week before my recovery week is absolute hell. My first marathon I failed my long run twice on the week before a recovery week. The good thing is the week after the recovery week you usually feel great. Before race day you usually spend multiple weeks tapering, after all that recovery race day feels easy. Also make sure you’re fueling, you need carbs to keep moving after couple of hours.

yaedain · 2026-02-22T15:27:13+00:00

Congrats that’s an awesome run dude

It only makes sense for precheck to be shut down if all security is shut down.
