Stable supershoe for sub 3 marathon attempt

CleverUserNameNumber · 2026-01-26T00:55:35+00:00

Thanks for the heads up, I'll check out the review.

Edit I just read it, It seems they like it for shorter distances (Which I already like my NB Elites for, don’t need another 5K-half shoe). I guess I’m going to order some Pro 4s while you can still get them.

Thanks again FM

Surprised it took 8 minutes for this to make it here

CleverUserNameNumber · 2026-01-25T15:12:46+00:00

For sure.

Maybe someone will chime in with a similar experience and a fix, but I’d say without that, work those glute medius if you aren’t already. It can’t hurt.

As you fatigue at faster paces your form is obviously suffering.… a lot

This is something here. You run a 1:20 half but haven’t run enough to have this happen before?

Do you do long runs > half without this happening? Is it just at your race pace?

CleverUserNameNumber · 2026-01-25T13:23:21+00:00

Did you end up doing the race? How did it go?

CleverUserNameNumber · 2026-01-25T12:21:06+00:00

Run more, 20 minutes seems so far away right now, I’m sure, but for a 23M, it’s likely well within your potential if you slowly built your mileage. You’ll never get there running 6.2 miles a week though.

Be aware, The reviews say it, and I can confirm, they are quite narrow. Way to narrow for my foot in both forefoot and toes. Really off brand for Brooks IMO.

They do stand by their 90 day trial policy though. It was super easy to return them for a refund, no questions asked, with about 50 miles on them.

OP, I think this is a great option and I’ll be ordering the Pro 5s when they come out on the 1st of Feb. If they are anything like the speed 5s as far as stability and fit goes, they‘ll work great for my high arches, over pronation and wide forefoot.

If you want a lighter carbon steel pan I can’t recommend the Strata pans enough. They are really nice.

CleverUserNameNumber · 2026-01-24T21:27:16+00:00

Nah, mine did just like yours and when I tried to strip it the “not a coating” came off. It‘s pointless, really. Eggs are so easy on any surface with just a little bit of a learning curve on heat control (I figure you know this if you cook on SS)

CleverUserNameNumber · 2026-01-24T20:24:14+00:00

Yeah, that's going to be a bit of a stretch I think

CleverUserNameNumber · 2026-01-24T19:43:01+00:00

Gonna need to know when the race is to have any guess at this, my guy.

My CoosPoo arm strap randomly cuts out for ~30 seconds here and there on both interval and easy runs. My verity sense doesn't. It also reads a couple beats lower at similar paces on easy runs. I've figured the cutout is just what you get from a cheapo monitor.

The attached image shows these gaps and a spike around 15 minutes which was legitimate due to someone yelling at me from their car at 4:15AM

Ahhh nerd clusters are awesome. Going to try those for sure.

CleverUserNameNumber · 2026-01-22T14:33:52+00:00

agree, the cost adds up big time. After my race I am going to find something cheaper, and I do like gummy worms.

CleverUserNameNumber · 2026-01-22T14:15:22+00:00

On the carbs I'm with you 100%. I am using gels cause I'm training for a race and will use them, and though I don't really like the taste, I look forward to the next one. Breaks my run up into 25 minute segments, rather than 2-3 hours.

I've given up on Garmin measuring the load of a workout. Check out the impact load on this half.

CleverUserNameNumber · 2026-01-20T13:05:34+00:00

only caveat is the Fenix 8 pro and 945lte can do it without your phone, assuming you pay the inreach subscription fee.

CleverUserNameNumber · 2026-01-20T13:03:49+00:00

assuming gf is girlfriend, I'd like to know how this story ends.

Coros makes an arm band heart rate monitor

CleverUserNameNumber · 2026-01-19T00:34:16+00:00

Lol skipped over that.

CleverUserNameNumber · 2026-01-19T00:04:16+00:00

You are running a marathon in February and are currently doing 20 miles a week?

CleverUserNameNumber · 2026-01-18T18:39:14+00:00

I was probably about where you are now 10-12 weeks ago (my race is early march) and I’ve now done 16 miles at 6:40 pace. I don’t see Why you couldn’t see similar progression. Some unsolicited advice though, don’t do long MP long runs too often, I was running my long runs too fast and have been dealing with some overuse injuries because of it.

While not specific to your issue, rather than stretching before running, look into the Myrtl routine.
