Change my mind: Runnit mods are 600-lb losers living in their mothers' basements on government cheese, stewing in their own filth and excrement, drunk on the illusion of power afforded by moderating one of the most useless subs in existence. They couldn't roll 500 metres, let alone jog a 5k ultra, if their lives depended on it. All you elite athletes on here could run circles around them any day of the week.

I've been running fairly seriously for a couple of years and think I have a good handle on most aspects of training. However, there's one that seems to elude me.

When I got my Garmin, I noticed my cadence was low, in the 150s on easy runs and lowish 160s on faster ones/races. I've recently been trying to get that higher but running slower while keeping your legs moving fast (maintaining higher cadence) seems counterintuitive. And when I increase my cadence, even to just 165, on easy runs, it feels harder, like I'm running faster due to the faster leg turnover, even when I'm taking smaller strides to keep my pace the same as before. My HR is also a bit higher. Working harder to run at the sa

This is more out of curiosity than anything else. I follow someone who doesn't follow me back. In fact, she follows very few people. However, she regularly gives kudos on almost every workout I do, usually within a couple of hours, and I've seen she does the same for others she doesn't follow as well. I can't imagine she's sitting there manually typing in people's names throughout the day to see who has done an activity. So how does she know when someone she doesn't follow has posted an activity?

This might be the least amount of effort expended to hide a straight-up, full-on, no-holds-barred, “I’m better than you lot” neener-neener brag in a “question.” https://www.reddit.com/r/AdvancedRunning/comments/1buw201/am_i_in_sub_3_shape/

I’m curious about the difference female runners who have gone off the pill have seen in their running performance in the weeks following. I’ve read that it generally improves but I’m seeing the opposite effect.

My RHR has been 7-10 beats higher; my running HR has been consistently higher at slower paces, and those runs feel harder (so unlikely to be a watch error); and body stress level, which has always been low, is higher every day. The quality of my sleep has also declined, which isn’t helping recovery. Maybe there are other factors at play; I do have asthma which makes winter running a bit harder but runs in past winters haven’t felt this tough, and I had a blood test recently and ever

I work for a financial company that also has a small banking business (small part of the business but it is a federally regulated institution), where I have two bank accounts. They were offering a promotional interest rate on an account so I opened a second account and a fair chunk of my savings in it. I realised that transactional capabilities were limited so moved some money over the course of a few days (due to account limits) to a couple of external bank accounts so I could access it easily (majority of funds remained in this account).

I recently realised that they weren’t giving me the promo rate even though I was getting communications that they were and the online banking page for m

The Twin Cities Marathon was cancelled the same day there’s a Garmin outage. I can’t be the only one who thinks the two are connected and that there’s something fishy going on. Did TCM organisers cancel the race because of the outage. Did Garmin break itself in protest of the race cancellation? What do you think??And what’s next? A worldwide Gu shortage? (Perish the thought!!)
