  • Newbie question about knee soreness

    Jump

  • I've never seen these bands so I can't comment on them. But if what you're describing is shin splints (sore and sensitive to the touch on the front of the lower leg) then calf compression sleeves can help to prevent it. Also, look up some videos on 'heel striking' and try to make sure you aren't doing that as it can cause knee injury. But first, take a day or two off to recover. Progress will be slow at first so you gotta play the long game when it comes to running.

  • Garmin daily suggested workouts: how do you manage your heart rate based workout?

    Jump

  • I don't trust the Garmin heart rate monitor, at least on wristwatches. I've used cardio equipment at the gym with HR feedback. I know my HR is elevated, the cardio equipment reads 140 bpm which feels about right to me, and yet my Garmin says 90 bpm. One of these things is not like the others.

    Jump

  • Congrats! But be careful ramping up the distance that fast. Shin splints are a real pain in the legs!

  • What is the smallest city in your country that everyone can still instantly recognise the name of? What is it famous for?

    Jump

  • I don't know about the smallest, but I've always thought that Santa Fe, New Mexico has an outsized influence on everything from food to art to architecture and culture. I visited last year and it was much smaller than I envisioned, partly because there are local regulations on building height to keep from ruining the charm of the city.

  • What are some tips on making "Not watching the election" chilli

    Jump

  • Smoked paprika. That is all.

  • One way to send money without really sending "money" is to give them gift cards for the local grocery store. Everyone needs groceries and it often has more of a free gift feel than a charity case feel to it. You could even pass it off as if it's something you won or received and you're just passing it along.

  • I retire my shoes at 500km. I figure $100 a few times a year is a small price to pay to prevent injury. To paraphrase Death Becomes Her: take care of your feet. You're going to be together for a long time.

  • I went to a podiatrist last year because I thought I had a stress fracture (it felt like I was walking on a rubber ball), but after being x-rayed I was told it was metatarsalgia and what I was feeling was inflammation. I got some inserts for my shoes, eased up on the running for a bit, and took some ibuprofen. Earlier this year I ran my second marathon and I signed up for my third next spring. Now I only need ibuprofen when it flares up which is mostly when I get to peak running weeks in my training plan. Running is not out of the question but definitely listen to your body when it tries to tell you that you are overdoing it.

  • Do you guys have safe spots when you get overwhelmed?

    Jump

  • Have you tried a physical outlet for these emotions? Hit the gym, or put on some headphones and go for a long run. Running can be very meditative and you can do it pretty much anywhere.

  • Tufts University lacrosse players hospitalized for days after workout

    Jump

  • Studies show cases of rhabdomyolysis are on the increase over the past few years. The unfortunate thing is it's completely preventable with a well thought-out workout plan and sufficient hydration.

  • any actually good ear buds out there?

    Jump

  • I recommend going with the OpenRun Pro if you're going to buy some. I have both the OpenRun Pro and the less expensive OpenMove, and the OpenRun is more comfortable and has better sound quality.

  • "Theyre FINE! Still got a thousand miles in them!" - He lied

    Jump

  • I'm a bigger guy (over 200 pounds) who runs marathons so my concern is the cushioning and the impact on my feet. I put a 500 km limit on my running shoes, after that they graduate to walking shoes or general gym shoes. My go-to are Asics, and I wait until a new model comes out and then buy last season's shoes at a discount, anywhere from $60-$110 for a pair depending on what color I want.

  • How do you deal with shin splints when running?

  • How do you deal with shin splints when running?

    Jump

  • First, you should stop or at least ease up on the running to give yourself time to heal. Second, work on your calves and ankle flexibility. Downward dog is a great calf stretch, try to keep your heels on the floor during the stretch. It may take some time to get there if you're not very flexible. Third, if the pain doesn't go away then you should see a professional to make sure you don't have a stress fracture.

  • Whats your go-to naming convention?

    Jump

  • This is exactly what I do. It lends itself to something like 'prefix_specific-info_version' which is both sortable and easy to read.

  • High profile Turing papers banned from leaving UK

    Jump

  • Seems like if the UK government doesn't want them sold to a foreign party then the UK government should purchase them and keep them safe.

  • How do you get the stink out of your gym clothes?

    Jump

  • Don't mix the vinegar and baking soda, they just react with each other and cancel out (acid + base do that). I do a cycle with vinegar, the do another cycle with baking soda + detergent, and it works pretty well.

    Robot vacuums that don't send data to the company

    Jump

  • I've got a Eufy RoboVac 30 and until reading this post it didn't even occur to me to see of there's an app. Turns out there is, but we've never used it and never connected it to our wifi. We just hit the button to turn it on and it works just fine. It came with a remote that we can use to set a schedule but as far as I know it has no way to call home.
