    "Over 70% of the Hallmark audience is past 50 years old. This breakdown of the most popular Hallmark Christmas movies shows they're mostly a hit with the Medicare crowd, with over half of the audience aged 65 and up. "

    Mostly a hit with Medicare crowd. A quick Google search shows mental decline can start as early as 45.

    I wouldn't be surprised if these people thought they were living in a Hallmark movie at any given time.

    Hey, you'll get there! I'm new to running myself. The secret to running long distance is finding a comfortable speed. I used to go out and run as fast as I could and I'd burn up. So once you find a good pace things level out.

    A few yall probably remember me asking about runners knee or pain due to running, well I'm getting better at it yall. This was the first time I had to actually take water and fuel with me. Sipping on a camelpak every 15 mins or so, and then fuel every hour. The run itself wasn't too bad, I started to develop a blister on the ball of my foot but I think my right knee is collapsing when I get tired. Anyways, my dream of running a marathon is getting closer.

    But before that I've done leg press and calf raises and the like, some stationary bike. Free weight with barbells really scared me because I don't want to mess up my back with bad form. Like it scared me to the point that I'd get under the bar and I start shaking because I don't want to mess up. But now I can under there and do it, it's just my legs are really tight and it gets hard getting down into a low squat

    Still sore 5 days after leg day https://lemmy.one/post/6800540

    Basically, it's been five days and I'm unable to even sit in a chair without a struggle. I didn't go too hard, mainly squats and leg press. I didn't think it would take this long to recover considering I still run 4 times a week. Is it normal to be this sore and what can I do to help it? I really really want to get back in there and work on my squat form but I can't even get close to parallel right now due to the soreness Edit* side note I went from an extremely sedentary lifestyle to a very active one about 6 months ago, starting with running but now my legs are paying the price of no strength training. So it may be that I'm just so new to the workouts

    Finding your way out of a rut?

    I have the get up and go to run every other day or everyday for maybe two or three months at a time. Then, out of the blue, I'll skip a run, then two runs, then the whole week. I'm currently in one of these ruts(I'm lacing up my shoes right now, I swear) but I was just wondering if anyone has any strategies for getting out of it. Mine is brute force my way back into it until I'm back in the groove. But this usually ends with me doing too many miles too quickly. Then the injury, the the time off, oh the cycle repeats. What are your strategies for getting out of a rut? Or even better not getting into it in the first place?

The idea of a dedicated gaming room seems awesome but It also seems like a way to close yourself off. And I don't like that.

    Oh yeah definitely. I usually run/walk. I try not to jog, because of how hard the impact is on my knees. When I did interval running(sprint for so long, then walk for so long) I never hurt this bad. And because my running doesn't make me hit the pavement as hard I never had issues. It was when I went to jogging that everything hurt. But I'm definitely gonna do some walking lightly to stretch and keep things moving.

    Basically, I took on too many miles too quick. And boom knee pain even when walking now. I don't want to stop moving entirely, but I'm just not sure what I should be during this downtime. I'm pretty new to running so only been doing it for about 2 weeks and I'm a little heavier, so it probably beat my legs up. But I love running and don't want to give it up.
