@MissZippy1 My new next door neighbor runs and I’ve debated asking her to run. What if we aren’t a good match and decide not to run together again? Awkwardness!!!
@karagoucher It’s interesting that each individual seems to have been caught for a different substance - makes you think that many people are using low-dose cocktails and just getting unlucky with timing of a test relative to that drug’s half life.
@canningsix @erinstrout I guess it’s about having a coach who asks me what my body can do, not who has a belief that “because you are x years old you need to do y.” Age matters but it is such an individual thing.
@TheRealMerb I think that whenever a TV character needs to run away from something (zombies, a wild animal, whatever) - the irony that I’d probably be the one to get caught over those first 100 meters because hello, I’m a creaky masters runner.
@robbiedxc I strained an intercostal muscle that made breathing while running super painful. I couldn’t figure out how I did it, until I realized it was from an extra button that was sewn into the side of some pajamas that I guess dug into my side while I slept.
@fast_women The course might be long, but the grass is also squishy with plenty of potholes, and the hills are just big enough to break up your momentum. On paper it seems like it should be fast, but it def runs slow.
@UltraRunnerPod If you can’t avoid bridges on your runs, I’d stop running and try walking under them with lots of focus on you, treats and praise, then resume running once you’re done. Safer for his neck anyway while he’s learning.
@UltraRunnerPod On a day you’re not running, find a bridge and go slowly closer with lots of tears and praise. Repeat many times over many days, getting closer to actually going under it so he learns bridges aren’t scary. Ideally don’t run under bridges while he’s getting over his fear.
@MarcieBianco That tweet was...not good, but the other way to think about it is that is you are paying your students from a 5- year grant, and the budget you submitted assumed a certain salary for research assistants, you don’t typically get an adjustment because salaries increase.
