Doing some catching up because I might become a runner again soon?
QOTD: Which race do you most look forward to following along that you are not running in?
Boston. Always. I like to follow the Olympics when they're on. Any of the majors when I know someone running. I like to follow the different Disney weekends.
QOTD: What is one thing that you could either stop doing or start doing that would have a huge positive impact for your health/running goals?
It's just not one thing, that's the problem. It's a list. I can strength train, eat better, drink more water, run more, be consistent, do speed work.
QOTD: Do you get cold after your run?
Sort of? I'll get a little chilly as the sweat dries. Changing into something dry helps.
QOTD: Lets discuss race expos. As part of the race experience do you enjoy having to go to the expo? Do you often purchase items at them? If the expos you went to had a mail your bib to you option, would you rather that than attend the expo? What do you like or dislike about them?
Yes and no. I don't love fighting crowds and they tend to be crowded. I'm sort of over the Disney ones because they're so nuts and it's usually the same vendors now so I'd rather get a few photos with the signage, grab my bib and shirt, and go. I like the merch so I deal with it and do what I have to do to check it out and buy some, but I don't love it. I wanted to spend more time at the Boston one and do more, but I also wanted to be off my feet and it was rainy so I'll do more exploring of the expo this year after the 5k.
QOTD: For those who take in calories during a race or training run, what product do you use and which ones would you not try again?
I cannot stomach any traditional gu's, so I do Untapped (echoing The Expert here - love the brand and discovered it at the Vermont City Marathon) maple syrup straight up. I do clif bloks (salted margarita) for salty fuel in addition to salt tabs since I'm such a salty sweater.
QOTD: When is your favorite time of year for running races and why?
I like fall races but not summer training, and I like winter training but not spring races (weather is too volatile the later in spring you go)
QOTD: Who here uses some sort of spread sheet to keep records of their runs and for making training schedules?
Not runs or training, but I have tracked every race I've run since I started in 2017.
Reading how everybody intricately tracks every run through a variety of spreadsheets and data plots is insane. I feel this is like you all after completing a run:
