Kind of a new distance runner here (completed my first half mara last month) and am usually run on treadmill for workouts during the week. I also wear an Apple Watch. Have noticed that my Apple Watch tends to say I’ve run a longer distance, at a faster speed, than treadmill. (It’s usually up to 0.5 miles off and 0.5mph off in speed). Anyone experience this? Not sure what to trust but assuming Apple Watch. Thoughts?

Congrats on the first half marathon!

Generally, the treadmill will be more accurate. When using an Apple Watch indoors, it is somewhat of an estimate. Your speed/distance is calculated by stride length and stride frequency. So when you run outdoors, it calibrates itself by using the gps distance and stride frequency to calculate your average stride length. And when you run indoors, it uses that calibrated stride length and your actual stride frequency to calculate speed/distance. But your stride length on a treadmill might be slightly off from your stride length outdoors. So that’s the most likely explanation.

I’ve taken Adderall for several years & it has helped a lot for my ADHD. However, recently I have been increasingly overwhelmed with balancing work, school, & home life. I am really struggling to manage my symptoms even while taking the maximum ER dosage. I recently started taking Strattera as well, but haven’t noticed much improvement. My doctor has suggested switching to Vyvanse instead. What are your thoughts on Vyvanse vs Adderall? Has anyone has had more success with it?

My confession is that I have seen the medical field change so much over the past 20 years, that it's unrecognizable in both good and bad ways.

I try not to burden friends and family with some of the things I've seen recently, but the short version is that I'm no longer sure I have faith or trust in it myself.
