For me I started cheating with my ex and lost my lover and best friend. The worse part about it I was so depressed I just let things happen and couldn’t fight to save my relationship.

Regular Runners: how do you break up your run schedule?

I have a 3 runs right now (long, med, sprint) at around 10 miles/week but am wondering if it may be more advantageous to just do more days at the moderate pace. My sprint workout is the same every week pretty much though I add maybe one interval every other week. Interested to hear what others do - do you switch up sprint workouts, run every day, or have a strict program?

I'm not training for anything specific. I'm also lifting. Thanks!

I’m depressed. Nothing unique about my depression - I’m in big law, my career defines me, when I’m not working I can’t find the will to get off the couch, I’m sad or I’m numb…I know I’m the only one that can make a change to my life…I’m on antidepressants. Just extremely unmotivated and paralyzed. Self-help books are not for me, but I am curious - has anyone tried a guided depression/anxiety journal? Any recommendations if so? Or, if you have experienced the same, what steps did you take?

I am a UX designer and have spoken with a potential client who intially wanted to redesign the navigation and landing page of their site.

I see a lot of growth potential here, but they don't see the value in good nav if users don't already use it. How do I show them the value of good nav? Should I just let it go?

How do you all deal with being anxious about the future? My bf makes me feel crazy for being extremely anxious about how we will end up in the same city after I graduate from b school. (Going next year.) I want to relocate post-grad near family. He says he is willing but owns a small business where we live now. I can't stop thinking about how we will work it out and he just keeps saying he'll "figure it out." (Don't see how he can leave business and it's his passion.) I feel so upset all the time about this. Part of me agrees with him that I am crazy for trying to plan every detail of life 3 years in advance but idk how to let go.
