Q: Regaining endurance after an illness

8:22 PM

@IvoFlipse I'm really liking this new site!

In late 2007, I fell really sick. As a result, I spent the next two years or so being unable to eat enough proteins to meet my daily needs and didn't do any physical exercise. When I recovered, I started training again (mostly bodybuilding and swimming) but I never was able to go back to runnin...

Q: Lungs on Fire When Running

I've been overweight most of my life and recently I've been slimming down (lost > 50 lbs so far, shooting for 35-40 more) and I'm wanting to start running. I have no problems walking for miles and miles (walked 8 one day just to see how far I could go, never got tired), but when I start running m...

@IvoFlipse would you say these are dupes?

I think they overlap, but it would be pointless to close them as dupes

ok :)

@IvoFlipse is now the time to worry about Tag-merges? and the such?

not really

but you may off course

hi @RebeccaChernoff

when will you make me a mod in this place? :P

o:

@KronoS If there are particularly horrible tags, it can be easier to squash them earlier than later.

@RebeccaChernoff that's what I was thinking... didn't see any at the moment, more dupes and better alternatives i.e. lose-weight => weight-loss

I changed excercise to exercise, and yeah I saw ^^^ but I left that one for now. Figured that was more a community thing than a me-step-in kinda thing.

@RebeccaChernoff lol ya I saw the 'excercise' but sounds good... thx for the direction (first time on beta) :)

Q: Please avoid very broad, beginners' questions during the beta

9:39 PM

private betas are an interesting animal, no doubt.

After going through several dozen Stack Exchange betas so far, if there's one thing I've learned, is that nothing hurts a young Stack Exchange more than appearing to be a place for those who only have a superficial level of knowledge in the subject. What do I mean by that? The purpose of this s...

@RebeccaChernoff @IvoFlipse what is the "reduced advertising" when you get 200 rep? I don't see any ad's at the moment

there are no ads on the new sites at all

so why is that there?

because it's copied from the other sites?

Ah...

@RebeccaChernoff isn't there a rep limit during the beta?

The 200 cap? Same as everywhere. That doesn't change with the phases.

how can I have 316 rep then?

on right, getting an accepted answer = 15, I mistook it for accepting which is only 2 :P

@IvoFlipse I think that it'll adjust eventually

you can see, I've been out of the running of seriously answering questions

1 + 100 + 200 + 15 = 316 (:

and if you look in your rep audit, you'll see a few [0]s

Q: What should I look for in a running shoe?

10:05 PM

I like to run outside and therefore need shoes to run. However, there's a massive market for running shoes and I get lost in all of the options. What are some guidelines in selecting a good shoe for running? (Note: I'm not looking for "which is best" but rather, what technology or features sh...

@IvoFlipse you should answer this one for me ;)
