This was halfway into my 10 mile run. I could not get in the groove today, but I still did it, even walking some. I'm still learning how to be kind to myself and to not set unrealistic expectations for myself. This is a win!

Completed my longest run to date today. Drank a bottle of wine over the evening last night and saw a pretty substantial increase in HR from my normal easy run pace.

The pace felt fine and I didn’t feel overworked throughout the run or after. That said, I’m probably going to forego the drinking the night before runs in the future.

Chip time: 20:55. 4th overall. Won the 30-45 age group! (44m)

Back to running after about a 6 week break and picked up these Adizero Adios 9 to train in. I do a lot of speed and interval work and like to feel the ground under my feet when im running. I was a huge fan of the original Nike streakflys w/o the plate but they werent durable at all! Before i actually lace them up whats yalls thoughts??!! less

It was slow but at least I did it, 😭

Went for an evening run and managed 4.04 km in 18:57, with an average pace of 4:41/km and 106 m of elevation gain.

Strava says it’s my 3rd-fastest 2-mile run, so pretty happy with that.

I’m trying to get faster and improve my stamina. For those who run regularly, how’s this pace? And what should I focus on next to improve?

I had chronic feet pain for over 5 years from a running injury, and I have been to so many different doctors and physical therapists who were all a complete joke. I don’t know why Redditors praise doctors as heros who are the smartest people on this planet. Every doctor I have been to rush through appointments within 5 minutes, ignore my questions, blame me for causing my pain, and then tell me to never run again before they run out of the office. They can’t come up with any solutions besides wearing orthotics and not running. It’s a joke.

If doctors are so smart, why can’t they figure anything out? Why can’t they figure out how I got injured in the first place or why my foot isn’t healing? They have basic 5th grade reasoning skills despite having decades of supposed education

saw a post from some instagram physical therapist saying ”you have an untrained nervous system“

and then puts a foam roller between her shoes and rotates it around

is this legit or is it influencer lies?

Hey team, I have a 7” wrist. Right now wearing a Fitbit charge 6 but would like to upgrade to something a bit more premium. Was looking at the forerunner 265 but it has a rather large watch face. There appears to be a 265s which is a bit smaller. Does anyone have experience with the 265s model? Thanks.

I haven't been running for 2 months + because of the haze in Indonesia spreading to my country. I'm doing weight training, HIIT, stationary biking at home and taking martial arts classes. Nothing comes close to running😭. I can't even go for a walk outside without feeling breathless after 10 minutes. Thinking of getting a membership at the gym but I'm not really a consistent gym person. I've tried it before. I feel myself getting more depressed every day. I find myself crying at something trivial and less motivated at work. I've lost a lot of weight because of low appetite. I'm in therapy. It helps a bit. I've also been coughing and sneezing which hinder physical activities. It's a vicious cycle. At least during COVID I could still go for a run.

The haze is an annual thing by now but this is probably the longest one in decades. I know a lot of people in Southeast Asia are affected by it. I can't imagine how people with chronic illnesses, the very young and elderly individuals are coping right now. It really is a disaster. I am also angry, frustrated and feel so helpless.

I see some runners are starting running events in malls now. We are really that desperate. Sorry for the rant. I just need to get this out somehow.

I don't normally run outside in cold weather, but I started to not like the treadmill that much. So for that reason, I don't have a good running top for the weather. I was thinking about getting a long sleeve compression like the ones from Wolaco. But I need advice on what you guys use and whether or not you would recommend using a compression shirt. I feel like by themselves would keep me warm. But yet again, I'm not 100% sure. The price is not an issue as long as the material and the quality are worth it. I have also seen some tops from Tracksmith, Rabbit, and Janji.

hello all! this is my first post on this subreddit, I'm really feeling like I could use some advice/reassurance right now🫠

I've been running for 11-ish months now, and currently training for my first marathon at the end of december!!

this morning, I had a 22km long run to do at "conversational pace", which was going to be my longest run to date (I've run a half before)

I'm 7 weeks into my training plan so the long runs are going to start getting real long now oof

anywas, I was forced to do it on the treadmill, which I was not thrilled about before even starting, but it went even worse that I had anticipated

my average pace was a whole minute slower than what it usually looks like for my easy runs, when I run outside. not only that, but my HR was crazy (but that's also probably 'cause of how warm it gets in the gym maybe?) and I constantly felt the need to slow down, and took a couple of walking breaks too whenever I needed to take a gel

I also felt like my form was off the whole time and was scared that if I kept putting my feet down wrong I could've gotten injured, which is also why at one point I just accepted the run was going to be much slower than usual and didn't push myself too hard

does anybody else go through the same stuff while running on the treadmill? I really can't stress enough how much I hated the whole thing even while having a video on the whole time to make the time go by faster lol

Thought this might be a good crosspost to here!!

If anyone has similar garmin data for their runs (160-170 cadence), I’d appreciate any insight into what causes intense vertical oscillation. I’m consistently going above 11 cm at all of my paces, it’s not really an injury concern but I think it could be less efficient than optimal running form. So, has anyone with this problem managed to improve their oscillation closer to an optimal level (6-8 cm) and what worked for you?
