  • Tips for picking it back up after injury

  • Oh I did know that it's not the same. I don't actually know my cadence, I just estimated that it must be too high since I walk (ie not run, so have both feet on the ground between steps) and am not that tall. Thanks for the helpful breakdown either way!

  • I can't really financially justify a gym membership rn. I do have some good calisthenics and resistance band exercises I learned in physiotherapy. I'll look into the the sand bags! Thanks for the advice

  • Yeah that's a great way of seeing it! Makes self improvement much less daunting, no matter the kind.

    I've got the vegan Chelsea boots. Since the shaft isn't super tight and also stretchy, I can turn my ankle in any direction I think. Pretty important for balance in icy conditions!

  • Thanks for the recommendations! Some of those look pretty appealing to me, so I'll have to look into it!

    One thing I can't abide though are wet socks. There's currently 20-30cm of snow on many of the sidewalks around me because it's snowing so fast it's impossible for the city to keep up, even with plows going every hour or so. Let alone out in nature. But then again, in snow and ice, I think I do prefer to have traction on my soles, and also with a high enough shaft that the snow won't fall into my shoes. So Ill stick to my blundstones for this weather, and hiking boots for hiking! But I'll see how it goes with thin soles when it's cold but relatively dry.

  • Ha, fellow teacher here, though for my country's equivalent to GED maths.

    I've never liked ankle support much. Never had running shoes that went up that high. My hiking shoes do, because on actual alpine trails I'd slice my ankles to bits on the rocks otherwise, but I never lace them up all the way to the top.

    I love going genuinely barefoot, like no shoes at all, when I just go on a little walk through the forest. Always have, to the point that it was a rule in my house that we had to hose ourselves down before coming inside when I was a kid. But that's soft ground. Never gotten used to gravel, but even just a super thin sole may do the trick!

    In case you live somewhere that gets cold some of the year, do you wear minimal shoes then, too? I feel like there wouldn't be much insulation

  • Thank you so much for the insights! I'll be trying barefoot shoes for sure. Are they comfy on course gravel? My park runs have a bunch of that.

    That sounds right up my alley, nice!

  • What a fascinating recommendation, thank you! I'm intrigued

    Since you brought up the minimalist shoes: one thing that's conflicting is thaty orthopedist recommended I always wear my orthotics when running or hiking while my physiotherapist recommended walking, and if possible running, barefoot as much as possible. I'm looking into barefoot shoes once it gets warmer (those thin soles aren't super appealing in the current freezing temps). I'll start out wearing them casually and see how it goes.

  • Thanks for the tips! Now that you mention it, too-high cadence might very well be a big issue of mine. I've noticed I even do that while walking too: my non-leisurly walking pace, that I keep when I'm walking to work or running errands, is like 7km/h. So I'm taking some big ass steps (I'm 172cm), which is probably not the best idea. For sure even worse when running, with the higher impact.

  • Thanks for the advice! But yeah, as much as it sucks, I'd rather be bored during exercise than injure myself. I guess I'll have to start in parallel with swimming so I don't lose my cardio! I do have a a repertoire of exercises my physio taught me, I'll have to get back to doing them diligently.

  • I'm talking about kinesio tape. https://www.healthline.com/health/how-to-tape-a-knee

    I'm seeing an orthopedist and, when needed, a radiologist. I went through a round fo physio therapy too. Afaik a specialized sports doctor wouldn't be part of public health insurance. Either that, or it's just so happens that the ones in my city are all private. It's a pretty gentrified city with lots of rich people moving here for a few months or years specifically for sports (it's in the alps).

  • Idk how old OOP is, but I'm almost 30 and I never got a polio vaccine. My mum was very diligent getting me vaccinated too, I got all the whoopng cough, measles etc. shots. Even got tuberculosis for some reason, but polio was considered so near extinct that it wasn't on the list.

    (thanks for making me check my vaccination passport to confirm this btw, found out this way that I need to get something refreshed)

  • It's a colloquial term. My best friend is a psychologist and she taught me that distinction (I'm not a native English speaker), and I genuinely didn't know some people took offense to it. Never meant for it to be tiered. I know psychology is a science, and a natural one at that. You're the one acting like your field is somehow special and better than others. I tried to be general and you said your field doesn't fit in, so 'you already said stem' makes zero sense.

    Either way, I never said it was normal to pay for a PhD? I said it's a huge pay cut vs working and industry job, which not everyone can take. Some people have others financially depend on them, and they can't just decide to accept eating half of what they could otherwise for self fulfilment purposes.

  • Paid PhDs are only the norm in stem, and those are the exact subjects where academia is a huge pay cut compared to industry. Hell, I'll be taking a huge pay cut (in terms of net hourly wage) when I finish my master's and quit my part time job, that requires a bachelor's, and start a PhD.

  • Not live under capitalism where food needs to be min-maxed like that because the goal is profit over sustainable nutritious production (and yeah I know we can't just decide that as individuals). There's plenty of peoples around the world and throughout history who have done and continue to do that.
