im having to kind of do physical therapy on myself to make my left glute actually fire, its a wonder i can get below an 8:00 min mile (tho my av pace is 9:00). i just was wondering if we could compare anything or just talk or whatever.

          i wouldnt want to push you into hurting urself :(. i really hope u get ur eating under control i wouldn’t want you to start running and make you feel worse. it sounded like you really liked it though, im trying so hard to get better at it because it makes me feel less useless (and at least i can run away if things get dangerous lol). maybe start out with like jog walk switches? like i remember i made myself worse of forcing myself to try and run like a mile straight, but i literally just brute forced it, and i regret doing so :(.

              exactly, i was so lucky i used to do cross country and stuff in school (wasn’t great tho im actually faster now than i was then), its really funny bouncing back if i have to take a long break for an injury or work. i havent hit the meditation state yet, im trying to do nose breathing only so im probably like just stressing myself out lmaoo. i hope you can get back to a healthy point!

      That’s still really impressive, being able to run that distance in that time. I couldn’t imagine doing that as I can barely do 5ks without dying afterwards. Good luck!

          I do, I’m working on getting some hip stability atm rn, so im taking a break from running to make sure I can have full control of my stride and not compensate too much. I think I have the potential to run so much faster if I’m able to get a 7:40 min pace while running with incorrect form, and I want to get serious if I want to keep running into my twilight years. Do you have any pointers for long distance?

    i used to like running. depression has made it impossible to gain the motivation to though. also cant really do it now since its summer and my gyno would be annoying to try and cover up without a hoodie
