I find that searching for the optimal accessory, gadget, clothing etc becomes almost as compelling as the athletic activity, such an enticing rabbit warren to contemplate.
they wear down pretty damn quick when you increase the mileage
Entrance to the 125th street bridge. Is that the same thing?
Look for running socks with merino wool, it's total game changer.
Do you mean the outsole or the midsole? If the latter: yeah, only a few (modernish) foams are known to last and many are notorious for dying quickly, but it helps to look in the right categories and maybe avoid some extra notorious foams / brands. A daily trainer „should“ last at least 500 miles / 800 kilometers, a racer often might not even last half of that. And we should be careful with how long we run a shoe too; even if they seem to last long, the longer we run in them, the higher the risk for injuries will be. When in doubt, I rather retire a shoe too early than too late (although I'm hoping for a good recycling system for running shoes to be established soon...). Oh and outsoles: same kinda deal, but there are some that are extra resilient, for example adidas' Continental rubber outsoles or Pumas' Pumagrip. Highly recommended.
Thanks for posting this. Very interesting. I'm one of those folks who uses cannabis 95% of the time when I head out for a vigorous exercise session, biking hills, hiking mountains, xc skiing, snowshoeing, etc. When heading out for an hour or two vigorous bike session, I take a few tokes right before getting in the saddle and then may have another toot after 40 or so minutes or if heading up a steep slope. When hiking/skiing I head out sober and wait for 10 or 15 minutes before inbibing. If I get stoned to much before a session, I may forget that that's why I got stoned and wander off into something else. Though I'm mostly a concentrate person these days, for exercise and being outdoors I find sativa flower in dosing capsules in my ogCrafty or Fury2/POTV One is convenient, easy to use in windy, cold, and/or wet conditions, and keeps me moving.Study explores how marijuana affects workouts
“Cannabis is often associated with a decrease in motivation— that stereotype of couch-lock and laziness,” said Gibson. “But at the same time, we are seeing an increasing number of anecdotal reports of people using it in combination with everything from golfing and yoga to snowboarding and running.”
Even more intriguing, some studies suggest that it is not endorphins that are responsible for the famous “runner’s high” but rather endogenous cannabinoids, naturally produced cannabinoid-like brain chemicals that kick in after a period of exercise, binding to receptors in the brain to make us euphoric and alert. By ingesting CBD or THC, which bind to those same receptors, athletes might, as Mashhoodi describes, enhance or get a head start on that good feeling.
“It is possible that exogenous cannabinoids like THC or CBD might activate the endocannabinoid system in a way that mimics the runner’s high,” said Gibson.
I've heard of them but never actually used one, I have settled with altra as I like the wide toe box + zero drop thing. I cant afford to chase the runners high like I used to, injuries, it costs too much in shoes and it works against strength training, for a while I identified as a runner who lifts, but at heart I am a lifter who runs
amazing how it affects us differently, I would be too 'impaired', props to you it sounds great
I've suspected this intuitively for years. Will be interesting to see what further studies reveal.
Love the map! Like a spider web made by a cannabis using spider!
I have been using cannabis since 1977, with a few breaks, one as long as a decade. What I have noticed is that when I first started using cannabis the varieties were much more tropical sativa based, and more motivational and thought provoking than the couch lock strains that are more popular today. You can still find a lot of the old pot if you look hard enough but probably need to grow your own. I also notice that vaping makes me feel more active than smoking the same variety. Not sure why that is?Study explores how marijuana affects workouts
