I hope this comment doesn't lead to future him omitting this info from his workout subtitles but I wonder if his usual cracker barrell, dorito, and whole rotisserie chicken methods of fueling may explain the constant mid-run pit stops.
#4a? Open the lid of the trash can, pull out the black trash bag, and squat over that before returning it to the trash can. But being dark, and therefore early, I suppose the 'friend' wouldn't be strategizing that much. So yes, #2 in #2.
The pits stops come and go. I can go weeks without one, and then 2-3 days in a row.
It'll be a last minute decision whether I run tonight or not, but this conversation is reminding me of a run a few years ago in which I didn't finish with boxers and there were a couple of close calls later that would have resulted in finishing that run without socks either. Avocado and egg salad were consumed a few hours prior to that failed venture. And what did I have for breakfast today? Well that would be avocado and egg salad of course.
Oh, that's a good one. There was no lid on the "can" (per my friend, of course). It was a stone fixed-enplacement receptacle with a black trash bag lining it.
Every aid station in the US does for sure. I'm not sure about Europe - occasionally they have funky rules about what's supplied at each aid station. I'd check the Athlete Guide on the IM website for the 2019 race. 95% odds the aid station setup will be the same.
Definitely...with practice in the bars. And on the bike.
I wonder if @SFBayDuck has paused under a tree in that area, not knowing that you're responsible for fertilizing the acorn whence it came.
Interesting... just added up the monthly totals at the top of your page from strava and that is 198970. I've noticed differences in mine before but usually the "yearly" total on the right is the lower total. I've found that to be because the weekly/monthly stuff at the top will include all activity while the yearly info will be broken down by type of activity. That's kind of weird.
Maybe your friend needs to have a seat for a few minutes before going out to run - try to force the issue a bit before being away from the house.
Tell your "friend" to try something easier to digest. I'll typically do a PB&J sandwich or a bowl of instant oatmeal.....or if I'm in a hurry, I'll just grab a pack of Pop Tarts (brown sugar cinnamon, of course).
Always my priority for my morning runs. If I don't "go," I don't go. Or if I do head out, it's with some targeted pit-stop options that are near the route over the first 3-4 miles.
This is another reason why I've never really taken to morning running. It's unusual if I can take care of the morning plumbing before 9-something am and I actively avoid running before that box has been checked.
Drink? No, I haven't found one that cooperates with my stomach. My exact ingredients depend on when I'm actually running, but aside from the mandatory dum-dum the most common foods I have pre workout are pretzels, apples, nuts, and cliff bars.
You know what...the ensure was my pre-bike/brick meal. Don't think I actually had them pre-run. Usually nothing or similar to your menu.
You can train yourself, IMO. It's pretty much the first thing I do everyday when I get to work. And then my body usually cooperates in the morning before heading out for a run.
I don't actually eat before my run. It's the dinner from the night before, which may or may not be friendly to my running in the morning.
I just hate stopping on my run, but I think I need to be less stupid and more pragmatic. This morning I could have very easily stopped halfway through at the community centre, but decided to take the risk.
Yep, it is funky to go through that. On my good leg, it was a twitchy sensation and little to no pain. On my bad leg where he injected my scar tissue from surgery... pain. Lots and Lots and Lots of pain.
He put 3 or 4 of them in - all but 1 of them were basically the same - a kind of painful sensation right at the insertion point and then kind of a release of tension or something. The one that was different had the pain and the release/relief but in between the 2 was an accompanied feeling that was almost like an electric shock that shot up my hip and down my leg. Felt it all the way down to my toes. Basically traveled along the nerves or something. That was freaky as all get out!
My background is in finance and statistics. I'll go ahead and let you make the assumption on my creative abilities.
I dabble, but don’t really do much fancier than this on CustomInk. The logo for my old LLC and whatever the subject is. Mrs. O has a race pit crew shirt.
