Torn Hamstring - Lemmy.World
I’m scheduled for a half marathon in 5 weeks. I KNEW I probably should not have
deadlifted before my sprint workout. I didn’t wake up this morning to run like I
should have, so I lifted weights before my running workout. During my sprints, I
felt and heard a pop. I immediately felt pain and hobbles to a stop. Fortunately
I was in front of my house. I couldn’t bend over to untie my shoes and get them
off. Luckily my wife was home. I know this isn’t a medical forum and I’m not
seeking medical advice, I’m already in contact with my doctor, but I’d like some
opinions and feedback (or questions) from others that have experienced the same.
Chances of running in 5 weeks? 😢😢 If it was completely torn, I was feel and
see a ball of muscle rolled up right?
HR Monitor Cuts Me In Half - Lemmy.World
Anything over 9 miles or so and my chest gets a gnarly rash right in the middle
of my chest where my HRM sits. I put a decent amount of body glide, and no
change. Anyone have a way to combat this?
How to Plan a Recovery Week? - Lemmy.world
I think I need to recover more. I’ve been making a lot of endurance progress
over the last 12 weeks, but my body is telling me I need a break. Waking up
during sleep a lot, resting heart rate during sleep is higher than normal, and
my Garmin Training Status is strained. I don’t want to sit around and do
nothing. I lift weights 3 days a week and run 3 days a week. My weightlifting is
normally heavy compound and full body barbell lifts. How can I structure a
recovery week that doesn’t put me on the couch?
why am I so bad at running? - Lemmy.world
Lifelong athlete. 37yr old male. College baseball player. Have been lifting
weights for 15 years. Very consistent with my diet, in fact I have my diet
dialed in and track calories eat nothing but whole foods. I’ve been running for
over a year, off and on due to calf and achilles injuries but mostly on. I am on
week 10 of a 20-week half marathon plan. If you look at me, I look very fit.
People assume I am very fit because I have decent muscle mass and I’m pretty
lean (around 10-11%bf right now). But I really struggle running. I just ran a
7-miler for my long run and it killed me. A freaking 12:53 pace, started at 5am
and finished around 6:30am. I am deliberately running in zone 2 to build my
endurance base using my Garmin watch and chest strap. I couldn’t have run any
faster if I wanted to. Running so slow but my average heart rate was 149bpm. All
of my other health factors are very good. 48bpm resting heart rate. 7-8 hours of
sleep a night. Weight lifting 3 days a week. Running 3 days a week. Before I
focused on my endurance I got my mile time down to 7:33 at around 80-90% effort.
I just feel like I should have a better base by now and even though building the
mileage takes time I feel like I’m way too slow for how long I’ve been running.
Am I doing something wrong? Any advice or feedback for me?

When Logging In, Saw Another Username and Icon - Lemmy.world
I just created my account on lemmy.world today to match the username I have on
lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml]. When I logged in just now, the screen refreshed with
a different users name and icon for less than 1 second and then updated to mine.
I thought that was really strange behavior. Has anyone else experienced this?
Any idea how/why this could have happened?
