I am so friggin tired of running being so scientific!!!

Trying to determine what causes stitches, how to get rid of them, what NOT to eat before a run, how much water to have, how long in between, what hat fits, what vest is too hot, etc, etc. I just want to go and run!!! It;s like each day has a new set of variables that determine how the run will go.

Re: I am so friggin tired of running being so scientific!!!

Very true...however when some time passes all that stuff becomes second nature. I know exactly what to wear no matter the temp, what to eat and how much to drink depending on the distance and temp etc. In time, you will be out the door and not even think twice!!

I WAS there! That's the thing. Then suddenly, running becomes a math equation that I have to solve. It's like all these variables change the equation.

I was thinking of you this morning. I wore long pants and a long sleeve shirt on my run and I got sooo hot! I was like, damn, I really did not estimate the weather well at all today.

Re: I am so friggin tired of running being so scientific!!!

just when you get one thing down...there are more questions...

should you be aerobic or anaerobic for this workout...what should your long run pace be...intervals, tempo run or fartleks...

don't let it get you down...
