Back once again for everything you wanted to know about running but were afraid to ask.

Rules of the Road:

This is inspired by eric_twinge’s fine work in r/fitness.

Upvote either good or stupid questions. Sort questions by new so that they get some love.

To the more experienced runnitors, if something is a good question or answer, add it to the FAQ.

Post your question – stupid or otherwise – here to get an answer – stupid or otherwise. Anyone can post a question and the community as a whole is invited and encouraged to provide an answer. Many questions get submitted late each week that don’t get a lot of action, so if your question didn’t get answered, feel free to post it again.

As always, be sure to read the FAQ first. Also, there’s a handy-dandy search bar to your right, and if you didn’t know, you can also use Google to search runnit by using the limiter “site:reddit.com r/running”.

Be sure to check back often as questions get posted throughout the day. Sort comments by “new” to be sure the newer questions get some love as well.

    How many meals is it acceptable to eat at the office in a day? I think today I’m going to be eating 3: second breakfast (honeynut squash), first lunch (cheese toast), and second lunch (roasted acorn squash and honeycrisp apple, drizzled with honey and cinnamon).

    I actually ran into my boss in the kitchenette a little while ago when I was heating up my squash. He asked if it was lunch time already, and he laughed when I told him “nah, this is more of a second breakfast.” ;)

    Another stupid question: what takeout should I get myself for dinner tomorrow when my husband is out of town?

      I eat 7 times a day at work, but I also eat at my desk. Couple meals, couple snacks. Gotta fuel the furnace.
