Syren Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Welcome to the Scouts Tavern! After a long day of scoutery it is nice to sit down with a couple of friends and share tales and news of our adventures. Everyone is welcome at the Tavern as long as you have a tale to spin and or song to sing. 1 Quote STRENGTH (0) | DEXTERITY (-1) | CONSTITUTION (1) | WISDOM (3) | INTELLIGENCE (3) | CHARISMA (2) Syren -- Chaotic Good -- Human Druish Ranger -- Current Challenge -- Battle Log Link to comment

Syren Posted September 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 I've been listening to the King Killer Chronicle again and got a little inspired I think I've now read this series more than LOTR which is a bit scary tbh... 2 Quote STRENGTH (0) | DEXTERITY (-1) | CONSTITUTION (1) | WISDOM (3) | INTELLIGENCE (3) | CHARISMA (2) Syren -- Chaotic Good -- Human Druish Ranger -- Current Challenge -- Battle Log Link to comment

I was also recently reading the Stormlight Saga by Sanderson, which is pretty good as well, a different type of magic. I suppose I should stop derailing the tavern with bookish talk Quote STRENGTH (0) | DEXTERITY (-1) | CONSTITUTION (1) | WISDOM (3) | INTELLIGENCE (3) | CHARISMA (2) Syren -- Chaotic Good -- Human Druish Ranger -- Current Challenge -- Battle Log Link to comment

My favourite of his is definitely the Mistborn books, it really introduced the diversity you can truly get with traditional epic fantasy. So what do you Scouts do other than run?

I've come to have issue with the semi-recent change from 300-500 page Fantasy book I used to read to these 1000+ page TOMES - which I blame Robert Jordan and the Wheel of Time series for. Finished reading the first two book in Matt Colville's Ratcatcher (Priest and Thief respectively) series and loved them - can't wait for him to finish them!

Noname123 Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Hi Scouts. I think I might be a scout in denial. I'm all about OCR so for the longest time I told myself I wasn't a runner because I lifted and did a lot of strength training. And I realized I signed up for a couple ultramarathons this year without thinking much of it (first one Nov 6!!!). Guys, I think I'm a runner. 2 Quote Spaz Ranger BATTLE LOG You can have results or excuses. Not both Link to comment

You belong where ever you like it the best, but yes we accept all ultra runners with open arms. How long are your races? And are you going anywhere pretty?

Koaladle Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Are the scouts going to do a mini? I'm starting a 10k training plan and could contribute mileage. 1 Quote Koaladle Current Challenge Daily Battle Log Link to comment
Infinity.Creates Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 I wanted to ask, how much do you tend to eat after a 5k, especially as after a while gone without running. I went on a run yesterday and came back ravenous and I feel like I ate too much but I want to know how normal this is. Thanks!

As a general rule of thumb, you should eat slowly until you are no longer hungry--not full. By eating slowly, you give your body more time to react to what you've consumed. The proper amount of food leaves you satisfied, which you'll find feels very different than that overstuffed-stretchy-pants level of full. Another strategy you can use is to put your fork all the way down on your plate while you chew. It is a really slow way to eat, but you won't end up in a food coma.

I'm also slightly concerned over the quality of the food. I was really after cereal once I got home, despite the fact that I'm trying to stay Paleo. Is this a product of having eaten it all my life or due to my body actually wanting it? Also, the satiation of the food didn't really affect me this time, only the quantity. 1 Quote they / them | half-orc paladin ( oath of the watcher ) -- lv 0 Challenge 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 ~ Battle Log ~ Epic Quest Link to comment

Also, the satiation of the food didn't really affect me this time, only the quantity. It's pretty natural to want carbs after a hard workout. Try to keep them good quality, and if you have grains at least make them whole grains (oatmeal over Count Chocula) and make sure you add in some protein to help your muscles recover. 4 minutes ago, Syren said: I'm down for a mini.
