What is Reddit's opinion of Dailymile?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I suggest not specifying the date, but say do it sometime within next week? I have another run scheduled on Sat so I'd much prefer to do it on Monday. Also do we count the treadmill runs, we just got 15 cm of snow here.

Edit: Also if you guys are on Dailymile, maybe we could make a Dailymile challenge?

Edit2: I set up a challenge on DailyMile, everyone join in!

Back from my 5K this morning in South FL. I PR'ed! 20:36 chip timed!

Results posted to DailyMile, and a couple other images for proof.

20:36

5K this morning in South FL. I PR'ed! Temps in the 60's.

Results posted to DailyMile, and a couple other images for proof.

I apologize if you've seen this multiple times. There are three threads about this thing. Had a blast. Go runnit!*

Edit: Suggestion: Maybe do one of these every quarter and link them in the sidebar?

I'd like to mention that it was suggested we give this challenge a week, so that everyone can do it whenever convenient (ok ok we get it, you guys run 20 milers on weekends). The "official" starting date is tomorrow, April 1st. Within next week run a 5K and prove it somehow... I assume you don't really need to "prove" it, but if you claim you ran it in 14 minutes, we are going to need the proof... ಠ_ಠ

We have 34 runners participating in the dailymile challenge that we have set up. Feel free to join in.

Also I was wondering if it will be okay for me to extend the deadline for the dailymile challenge? As of right now it runs from April 1st to the 8th, but I have a 5K race on the 9th, so I would prefer to submit that result instead :-)

Goals: Bazan Bay 5k (in one week!), TC10k (April 27th)

Goal Time: sub-19, ?? (will reevaluate based on 5k result)

Took it easy this week. Mid-week I purposefully slowed down my easy runs and the results have already shown. I feel so much better and not tired all the time.

Parloff relay: One person runs ~258m (at a park, not a track), tags off the other partner, first person recovers back to their start, gets tagged by partner coming back, runs another 258m, etc. 4 sets total of 10:00, 10:00, 8:00, 8:00. Ended up doing 21 reps with an average pace of ~3:22/km (5:26/mile). My first one was at 3:10/km (5:06/mile), but I quickly smartened up and slowed down. By the end you can feel the lactic acid weighing your legs down.

The race that was supposed to be last week was rescheduled for this week. I ran it as a tempo run and had a great time. It was a really really tough course, and if you want the race report you can find it here - it took place at the castle where they film the X-Men movies.

Next week I have my 5k race and I’m feeling really confident coming off of that tough tempo. Sub-19 here I come?

/Goes and googles sites Lol I have no idea what those places are :P Edit: Just checked them out. Awesome! Can't wait to level up :D

Fitocracy: harmedgreen Daily Mile: harmedgreen

Beat my distance PB set last week by 5 miles. I'm upto 20 miles now. Also, maybe jumping the gun a bit, but i'm top of this week's runnit dailymile. with 52 miles logged

>(it's iOS only for now)

Nope.

Looks really promising, though. Sounds like DailyMile, but without the miles. If you release an Android version, I'll be your biggest fan. ;)

Did my first ever trail run in the wilderness of the north shore in Minnesota! ~5 miles in 1 hour, stopping to take some pictures along the way. Felt like a champ running through puddles and across little streams. Dailymile Entry

Just ran my first "pace run" of my half marathon training, and hit my goal pace (9:00 min/mile) pretty much spot on. Feeling pretty great about that.

Also, I just topped 500 miles on my first pair of running shoes, my first pair of shoes that I went through totally running. Time to look for a new pair!

My name is Becky, I love to run, and I'm trying to up my game on that front. Long term my goal is a BQ (why? becuase it's out there) and maybe and an Ironman before I turn 40 (because eff 40!). So today, that means mass loss goals, and mileage goals that will hopefully let me meet speed goals.

I'm a FitBit wearer, and you can find me on MFP under BexKix.

I've tried one other round (under another username I'm sure) but fell off quickly.

Stats
* f/37
* Married Mom of 2 youngin's
* Working, I'm a mechanical engineer
* 5'7.5", 167 or so pounds

Diet: trying to move toward Paleo for inflammation concerns (arthritis, et al) but tend to slip when stressed. Boo.

Exercise: running Here's my DailyMile Profile. I love running, my inconsistency is holding me back so I really need to fix that.

I absolutely LOVE Crossfit but it made my runner's knee flare this April. Everything's back on the up and up so I'm back to trying to convince hubby to let me ease back in. :)

Overall Round 15 Goals (10/6-1/13/2015)
* Weight: lose 14 from wherever I am at on 10/6
* Weekly Running mileage increased to 35mpw (I'm currently 15-20 so this should be realistic)

Sprint 1 Goals: (10/6-11/4)
* Evening Routine every night (This is a list of to-dos that keeps my mornings sane, getting myself and the beloved kidlets out the door)
* Continue Pfitz's stretching routine after EVERY run
* PT every night
* Track food, MFP
* Weight ... 160ish, specifically, it will be whatever 4 pounds in 4 weeks ends up working out to. I have been plateued at 164-167 for what seems like forever (18 months of off and on trying).
* Running mileage... 100 miles in October, 25 miles per week. I'm signed up for a local challenge so that should add motivation. :)

Looking forward to getting to know the community. :)

>...striking more with the ball of my foot rather than my heel.

Why? there's nothing objectively wrong with heel striking. Here's Steve Prefontaine heel striking: http://www.dailymile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Jeff-Galloway-Steve-Prefontaine-Jack-Bacheler.jpg

If your normal stride is with a heel strike, this is not necessarily a disaster. It's generally better to be a midfoot striker, but switching strides carries more risk with it than good form with any stride type.

Obviously this gives away my name but I'm not a private person and my name is no secret. However, if you find me on Facebook (this has happened on LetsRun several times) and add me I'll probably ignore you, sorry. I don't add people I don't know with very few exceptions (I'd totally add duckshirt and AStalkingButler, and maybe the other mods, and there's a tiny possibility that if you're not one of the above but live in Seattle and run competitively and want to meet up I'll add you).

Ha! Fast fingers slow brain I guess. I'll leave it there. Sorry to keep your hopes up, this is the closest to a Vibarm I can find.

I guess my point in posting this is that I've been quiet (not just here, but between friends,roommates, co-workers) about my fitness goals. I know that the 2 month mark is a hard one to get thru, so this week is vital, and maybe I need to talk about it a bit. In fact, here's my daily mile profile: http://www.dailymile.com/people/Banzsox but it doesn't include he four-five days of lifting, just cardio.

I used to use Strava and Nike Running is SO MUCH MORE accurate than Strava. It's not perfect though. Comparing what Nike calculates to reality (I use DailyMile.com as my actual training log, but they don't have an app), I find that Nike might add a quarter mile to a 6-mile run. Strava would add a full mile or more to 4-5 mile runs.

No app or GPS will be perfect. A Garmin watch or something like that will be better than a app, but costs a lot more. I use the apps to 1) give me a general idea of pace and distance and 2) as a stopwatch basically, to keep track of my time. And then compare against something like DailyMile or Gmap-Pedometer.com when I get home, to get my ACTUAL pace a distance. You can also plot your route before heading out, make a mental note of where the mile markers are, and then notice when your app says you hit a mile, so you can adjust your expectations if it's measuring too short or too long.

It might have been ammonia. Ammonia is a by-product when protein is broken down. This typically happens when your body is out of fuel.

"Try taking in more carbohydrates for energy. Also, if your not drinking enough, the ammonia will be excreted through sweat whereas it typically flushes out in your urine." - http://www.dailymile.com/forums/general-running/questions/433-ammonia-like-smell-after-a-long-run

Lunges, easy jogging, leg swings, medium-pace running, skips, strides.

I ran my first marathon today. I started running 5 years ago, so it's been a long time coming, but I'm glad I did. And on top of that, I did it in sandals. :) Here's a short writeup.

Montrealer here. I often cross the border for a ride around Jay Peak, VT so I always bring my enhanced driver license with me. Maybe he is anywhere near Canada?

Saturday, I posted my first sub-10 minute mile pace.. ever.

I can't remember a time when I have ever run a mile in less than 10 minutes. I was always at the back of the pack when we were required to do miles in high school, and I even had to re-do it (after school, no less) one year because my time was so slow (> 15min).

My GPS wasn't working though, I wish it was on RunKeeper so I could look at it closer. Hoping I can replicate it in my three runs this week.

Another thing you could do is sign up for one of those social sites for runners like Daily Mile, where you log your runs every day and can follow your friends runs, too. Putting that run in for people to see is a good feeling, and if you don't post your friends will bust your balls. There's a runnit group at http://www.dailymile.com/groups/1419-reddit-runnit

Did my first 5K, 10K, 10 mile and half marathon in Merrell Trail Gloves and did my first marathon in New Balance Minimus. I got another set of the Trail Gloves and I could just wear them all day, every day. So comfortable.

I used Daily Mile.There's a Runnit group on there too. I think it just really helps to see all the work accumulate every day — when I started, running a mile was a big deal. But then hey! Over the course of 8 weeks I ran a marathon worth of miles! Plus you get some friends and they all comment on how great you're doing, and it really helps motivate you.

Try logging your runs at dailymile which has a lot of people at different stages in their running lives. You will gain a lot of encouragement from the community and there is a reddit group as well:) I'm here if you want to say hi :)

I agree with you that Kinvara's are less cumbersome shoes than your previous Asics, however you're probably starting off with too much in the Kinvaras. To put this in perspective, when I started transitionioning to my VFF's, I could run a half marathon in Asics but under 150 metres in VFF's - this is a more dramatic example than Asics v. Kinvaras but the lesson applies: different footwear = different mechanics.

Shin splints are a micro fracture of your tibia that can compound and get worse. Lessen distance, work on form, and slowly adapt your muscles and impact on bones. With respect to your running form, you're feet land too far forward from your centre of mass (very likely heel striking, but not always) and you're applying more than your body weight of torque along the axis of your tibia which creates the "shin splints".

If you want to know even more, I wrote (this)[http://www.dailymile.com/forums/anything-goes/questions/3218/] a while back in a forum, my answer is the big one four or five responses down.

There is a lot of information and a full physiotherapy program for recovery/prevention in (this PDF)[http://www.ualberta.ca/~jsl4/UATrack/files/Shin_Splint_Info.pdf] that I found very helpful.

http://www.dailymile.com/ is a bit prettier to look at, and in my opinion, pretty easy to get around if Running Ahead isn't suiting it for you. You can't beat the social aspect and supportive community, either.

No problem!

• You're not tied to any device. We sync with Garmin, Nike+, iPhone, and Android.
• API. Access your data however you like - http://www.dailymile.com/api
• Community. If you're looking for a supportive community. There is no better place than dailymile.

Following on Twitter :) Another place to possibly gain some support is DailyMile. I've only been logging my runs for a little bit but the crowd over there seems super positive! Best of luck to you!

Weirdly, I use a pair of Gummies with these in ear attachments by Yur Buds and it gives me a nice sound + pretty good noise canellation. Plus, a replacement pair is only about 10 bucks.

I bought a pair of Senheiser HD 280 Pro headphones but I usually don't use them. Not enough bass and too much on the high end.

My elementary janitors name was Joe and he was super nice. The one thing that sticks out in my memory is that he always had on shoes with springs in them. Like these http://www.dailymile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Z-coil1.jpg

Right, but don't they get even more wet on multi day hikes in the PNW than anywhere else? And they won't dry at all?

I hike in these, so there very light, and very, very breathable and dry quickly. My hiking boots, on the other hand, if they even get a tiny bit wet (say from rain coming in the top, or accidentally splashing into a stream) they stay wet for many days.

Love it. Thanks so much. I will probably go around Phalen and loop a couple other lakes one of these days on a long run. I've been skipping St. Paul lately and going north.

There's a really nice park system that's all connected in Fridley - It goes from Long Lake park and meets up with the river, and has a bunch of unpaved and paved trails going through Locke Park. Here's a 14 miler that has free, easily accessible parking on both ends of the course with the trails in the middle.

No problem man. Take it easy, don't push yourself to exhaustion. I'm a rather weak jogger too. I jogged for 10 minutes on Saturday and had to pause after 5 minutes. The important thing is how consistently you jog, not how long you jog. Join the community DailyMile and have fun posting times and miles. It will post directly to your Facebook and it gives you a fun way to calculate how long you've been exercising. I much prefer just the blue sky and fresh air to being confided to a gym, but like I said, I've never been in one for exercise reasons. Both my brothers go to one because they are those kind of guys. Gyms aren't for everyone, but exercise is. Do 10 pushups every morning/evening too. You'll be surprised how easy it is to burn energy. Every week increase the number of pushups by a couple. We're in this together bro.

As EvanonReddit shows, The Riverside route is great, and so is the New Osbourne route.

Old Gun is a good ride too, I usually stop at Robious and turns back, but it looks like this map maker keeps going.

That's great! I no longer look like the photo in my drivers license, so anytime I pull it out there's an inevitable discussion about running (funny story).

Keep at it—it's totally worth it.

I use Dailymile because it's got my routes mapped out accurately (profile link), but all my actual times come from RunKeeper, because I like the app a lot more on my phone (profile there).

SportTracks is what I use for the data aspect. There is a free and a paid version. Happy to pay the $'s as it's so useful with lot's of plugins from the wider community. Log my runs on DailyMile for the social and motivation. Lot's of like minded people with a wealth of knowledge to help you out.

Also use daily mile and I really like it. There is a runnit group, but it's not very active. I'd love to have more friends on there so feel fee to add me as well! http://www.dailymile.com/people/KellyT13

We've got a bunch of apps that work with dailymile http://www.dailymile.com/apps, and a mobile site http://m.dailymile.com. Until we expand our team, we're staying focused on the web. That might change though :)

Been slacking on logging my runs. I guess I'll get back into it. Also, I've added everybody who has posted his/her link in this thread.

And, since you've all shown me yours, I'll show you mine: Me

Where south of Bmore? I'm in Catonsville and run a lot there, through Patapsco Park and down at the B&A Trail starting in Glenn Bernie near Marley Station mall.

I am, hi!

I usually run in the suburbs - anywhere from 6 - 12 miles (around 25 miles a week). I plan on pushing that number up pretty soon (doing Marine Corps Marathon in Oct). I have a group of people that we've met over the years that I run with on Saturday mornings on the B&A trail that goes from about BWI to Annapolis.

Finished my longest long run yet yesterday, 17 miles. Feeling some pain in my foot today, hopefully its nothing serious. Training hard for my first ultra in August, the iron legs 50 miler

The first few days were tough, but the thought that I was doing something new was exciting and the progress I was making was always pleasent to see. There will be some days where you won't be able to make the distance or time and some days where you will feel great and go further then you ever imagined. I advise that you take it easy at the moment with your pace and try to keep a good running form where you land on the balls of your feet rather then your heel. Try not to over stride keeping your legs not much further then where your hips are on your body. Keep going, it is really hard but at the end of the C25K you will feel so good and you will want to run further and faster. Good luck :). Also I advise you sign up to dailymile where you can keep a track of all the runs you have done, distance, calories burned, time etc and make friends as well as get motivation and from other people in the same boat as you.

Well, I thought my husband was full of crap before, but it really, seriously helps to keep a running log. He's old school and keeps an old notebook like a diary listing his runs, his mileage, the time it took to run, and how he felt. I do something similar using http://www.dailymile.com - it lets me track my routes, and if you friend people, they send you motivation, etc. The point is so you can see how you've progressed (or in my case regressed...hoping it kicks my butt back into gear!) - there's nothing like seeing steady improvement over time.

Secondly, if it's your thing, sign up for local races. That's pretty much what got me running regularly - I'm kind of a race whore. One can never have too many technical tees and ridiculous medals!

You can find Martin on dailymile at http://www.dailymile.com/people/MQ250

He's been a true inspiration as I've followed him through this journey. It's inspired me to pick up my running and find ways to give back to the community as well.
