Not at all, unless you have poor running form. Many people are able to run just fine for their entire lives, even running marathons in their 70s and 80s.
I listen to music. Sometimes I use Spotify’s auto-generated playlists and find new things. I was also into the “Zombies, Run!” app for quite a while which is a zombie apocalypse story that unfolds as you run, and you get to listen to music in between story clips.
I use my Garmin as a fancy stopwatch, I don’t find its analytics are particularly useful. My forerunner has literally recorded me running a half marathon in 1h 55m, but it predicts my half marathon time would be 3h 17m?
Maybe not so far as you think. Keep increasing the time you are running little by little, and before long you’ll be able to run for 30 minutes without stopping.
I have some wool performance shirts (minus 33 woolverino) and I want to make the switch for environmental reasons, but they don’t seem to last as long as my polyester (some of which I’ve had for many years and still wear regularly).
When I started training longer than 10K, I was seeing signs of shin splints- tender shin bones and tight calves. I started running with calf sleeves and it made a lot of difference both in reducing the pain and helping me recover faster. I also started doing calf and ankle stretches (downward dog is the best for this!) and just in general I’ve adapted better to running over the last few years, so now I don’t use the calf sleeves even though I’m running marathon distances.
Nope. Which is good because I hate snaps. A media player that can’t play nfs-mounted media or a browser that can’t read my remote KeePass file are just useless to me.
I’ve been using Kubuntu on my main laptop for a few years now, and I really enjoy having an environment that just works, doesn’t get in my way, and I don’t have to think about. That’s just the way it should be.
