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.
[Posting on behalf of /u/Percinho who I presume is busy trying to not burn himself making soup]
When I’m PMS’ing and my resting heart rate is 5-10 bpm higher than normal, do my heart rate zones shift or is my easy run really just a shuffle with walking breaks now
This, and also trying out new ADHD meds.
My solution today was to tell my watch where to shove it and just run what felt like a leisurely pace. It was actually really pleasant. I might ignore the watch more in the future.
Yeah that might be a good one. On other weeks I just run easy and my HR is actually easy, I’ll just keep that pace in PMS too I guess, it’s too much hassle lol
