@scott2511 Looking at your comments, I see plenty of reason to go on TRT. For me, it was the lethargy, lack of drive, and excess weight (it’s a bidirectional relationship). Going on TRT helped with my mental state and helped give me drive to get better. It’s not a panacea. I’ve also stalled in...

@zambieboy I think “slow” is relative here… you think 9-11 minute miles are slow, but that’s fast to me. I was running 13’30” last week in zone 2. Sometimes the answer is also to go slower, even if it feels painfully slow to you.

Hey @thisisme123 another thought I had this morning is that tread runs are almost always slower/harder than outdoor runs.

@thisisme123 Adding to the chorus of run slower. If you’re trying to run for a long time, slower is better. It will feel PAINFULLY slow, but over time as your endurance build your easy pace will become faster, which also means the top of your range will become faster, too. Check out r/running...

@annelie Hand warmers. Don’t know why it didn’t come naturally to me, but my first sub zero run I was dreading and my wife was all “go pick up some hand warmers.” I definitely married up.

@cqmethodist Adding to the mental load—tread work is the worst, so boring lol. I thought id hate running in the cold, but layered up appropriately it’s just fine. At this point, I’d rather just run outside and use the tread for recovery runs where I can literally zone out and not worry about...

@thisisme123 Use the bike the same way you do the tread—they compliment each other. Same rules apply that everyone else is saying: 80%+ in easy (conversational) effort, for time. Unless you have health issue necessitating a recumbent bike, you’ll be better served by a spin bike or a road bike...
