That’s a lovely ink! I’ve yet to try Noodler’s but may need to source some samples.

My favourite is Diamine Sargasso Sea. It’s vivid and stands out, but it’s “normal” enough to use in professional situations.

It’s also an exact colour match for my daily driver pen (Pineider Avatar UR in ultramarine), which is a big plus point.

Diamine Aurora Borealis is a beautiful teal. Celadon Cat is also worth considering if you like shading, although it’s much paler.

It’s not a blog, but you could try the Pendemic Discord: https://discord.gg/pendemic

I’m really hoping this community builds up, though, as I’m not a huge fan of Discord as a discussion board. I really need to post my collection and start contributing!

I never knew that! Certainly puts a different spin on that template.

Start slower than you think you need to - not just in terms of pace but also weekly mileage and number of sessions. If you’re already fairly fit it’s easy to underestimate the strain running can put on your joints and ligaments, and that could lead you to do too much too soon and end up injured. Build up slowly and prioritise recovery.

Outside of that I think it’s important not to overthink too much. It’s easy to fall down the rabbit hole of stressing about minor differences in shoes, or tracking your heart rate zones, or energy gels, or any number of other things. If you’re generally in good health, just run and enjoy it, and the rest will come later. Have fun!
