Gnarly air quality

QFE. "Hey, I feel fine!" What a gd moron.

Poor man's altitude training.

Sick burn. Have you ever smoked a cigarette?

You are a gigantic pus$$$y

Just admit it, y’all are the same dudes who will stay inside anytime someone tells you. You’re just mad others won’t follow your cult. Otherwise why would you give a fu$$$ck?

I live out west and have gone running in smoky air many times. I would never take a toddler with me for no good reason. Doing so doesn't make you a tough guy, it makes you a terrible parent.

Stop getting trolled and look at the username.

I ran 5 x 400 with 3 mins rest yesterday and it was a a little bit slower than I usually run (I am an idiot and did not realize that there was an air advisory warning - air quality index of 150)

My lungs did not feel great after the run, and still bothered me a bit today in the morning but I feel fine now about 24 hours later (I was outside for about an hour yesterday)

I was planning to run 600-500-400-300-200 with 5 mins rest on Friday but now I may have to push that back until after we get some rain or something to clear out the sky

I said clearly I didn’t know before I went and didn’t notice when I did. Do you personally check the air quality every time you run? So judgmental

here you go.

I knew there would be those calling the unhealthy air a hoax. NYC particulates were near 500.
And the above poster calls others a "gd moron"

His poor toddler.

You’re the true moron. That guy was calling me a moron (see how I bolded it for special emphasis?). So now you are insulting an anonymous poster who is actually on your side.

Anyway, posting this from the hospital where I’m currently alive thanks to a ventilator (thank god covid is over). My toddler is showing signs of respiratory distress but I told my wife to put her to bed with an n95 so hopefully it will all work out.

Ooooh! I see you need a safe space where we can all pretend you made an argument you never actually did.

Read more carefully: Denialism is a choice you're making. I get that withdrawing from the carbon economy is difficult, even nearly impossible, for anyone living today, and I'm not judging people who make only limited attempts to do so. But I, and other reasonable people, do judge denialists like yourself, who reject the basic facts of anthropogenic global warming and then have the nerve to pretend that all they really want is a more authentic, more austere environmental ethic. Like they'd somehow get on board if only more sacrifice were demanded of them. Eff that.

Again, willfully oblivious--and easily triggered--idiocy is no virtue. And at this point, it would be best for you not to respond. It's not a good look for you and your . . . type.

Would be pretty fun but I have a little difficulty joking about the health and well-being when it comes to children.

You’re right. Totally good for the health and well being of children to lock them inside all day. I stand corrected.

Go take your 8th booster.

from personal experience, over 200 is bad. i would run in it, but not intensely. i'd do a workout in 150, but not expect a meet to go off. I feel like a meet cold work in the 120 range, but im good with them drawing a line at 100. it's an objective standard. it is not along the same lines as TWO WEEKS TIL WE FLATTEN THE CURVE!

is it safe to run outside with a mask? i ran yesterday morning at 160ish but the air is worse today, after yesterday afternoon it’s looking like it’ll be like 350 at the time of day i have open to run at.

My chest still feels tight from my run yesterday - honestly quite concerning. It feels like I smoked a couple of cigarettes. It was definitely a mistake to run in these conditions. I'm pretty rigid with my running and I dont often skip a run, but I skipped today.

I kind of feel like being in good cardiovascular condition makes you MORE sensitive to these things. If I smoked cigarettes, I'm not sure my body would be reacting as adversely.
