Question: How do you get your heart rate down?
Perspective: I am 24 and run 25 miles a week. My average heart rate is usually 175 but gets up to 200 (worrisome). My heart rate recovery is 55-75 after three minutes. I just don’t understand why my heart rate gets so high if I’m healthy. Am I breathing wrong?

I've been gardening more to relieve stress and have some time to my self. Full endorsement!

Can anyone recommend a good book/materials to prep for the CIPP/CIPM? 🙏🏽

Have you ever not eaten for a really long time but just can’t? I’m tired and hungry but there’s some sort of...wall. I can’t get myself to do it. Not anorexic, I’m chubby, but...anxiety.

What are some good gyms in the city? I like to do a mix of cardio and strength, a pool would be nice but not a must.

IF you use EPIC EMR, do you like it? How does it compare to prior ones that you have used?

Thoughts on universal health care coverage in the U.S. in wake of the COVID pandemic?

I'm starting to realize that a lot of my life problems are from me trying to treat my depression with alcohol. This is the most sober I've been in a long time and generally I feel a lot better but it would be so easy to get drunk. Physically the consequences are what are keeping me from doing it. It makes me feel really good though and I miss the high, I am grateful that I can resist it now but at least temporarily it was a cure that worked it made me feel accepted and whole.

Anyone have a primary care physician they like in NY? Ideally one who integrates holistic medicine as well as western medicine? Bonus points if they’re on Cigna or take insurance.

Stay safe during the Tropical Storm everyone!

I joined a new team and have noticed something off with my Director over the last months (slurring speech, no show to calls or even full days of work). I finally asked a colleague about it today because I’m concerned about my Director. She confirmed that she’s noticed the same over the last few years, but no one ever says anything. In confidence she told me she can often smell alcohol. How can I help? I feel helpless. I’ve already lost someone to addiction and I can’t ignore this. Any advice?

Has anyone tried the Westin workout program? Is it as gross as I think it would be? What kind of clothes/shoes do they give you?

Advertising has ruined my life. I can’t even ask a friend about getting drugs without sounding like a tool - “Following up in regard to gram and point pricing for our visit”

Has anyone been fired? How’d you bounce back? How did you approach it when applying for new jobs? I’m legitimately worried I’ll be fired and could use some advice.

Is the CPA designation worth it? For me it would take me 1 year of PREP courses and 2 years of PEP until i can write the CFE. And I am 27 years old right now. Also wondering if it would be crazy to pursue the CPA while learning how to code to be a developer as well?

Hi ,

Can anyone suggest about fitment round .

Enrolled in Stern for a few weeks.
The number of the alumni and current students that go to top consulting firms FT& summer intern are countless even for a small class size.
Stern is way more than a finance school. Given its location, do you want to spend your 2 years in a rural area or heart of Manhattan? Location is almost everything for business school. (I have a friend in Cornell that frequently travels about 5 hours to NYC for events.)

Which field of science do you think is underfunded, and why?

I feel stuck as a Strategy Manager and want to make a career pivot at 35. But have no idea what i should do?

Do I go back to being an Attorney, or do I retrain and become a financial advisor or something else?

Need motivation to start running. How did y’all get back into it after getting out of it and becoming out of shape? Anyone?

Yay! Another running group!! Hi!

Hey fish - for longer runs outdoors, what do you do about carrying water? Outdoor fountains aren’t really an option right now. 😂😭 Do you prefer to just hold a water bottle? One of those belt things? Female here if it makes any difference.

Who’s got their BQs done for 2021?!

Help. I’m training for a marathon and I’ve found that during longer runs (both inside and outside) I’m experiencing a ton of mucus / drainage in my throat that I don’t experience day to day....

Favorite track workouts / intervals?

How do you guys keep a 25+ mileage per week while traveling and working 60h weeks?

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?

Any guided running app recommendations? Specifically looking for something where I can play either Spotify playlists or podcasts while also getting the guided run, if such a thing exists 😂
