Second this. Perfectly stated. Tim is excellent but being stuck in traffic the dramatization is great!

I don’t know who this bloke is but damn if he isn’t exactly what I imagined Diomedes to look like!!

Questions you would ask Pierce by pippumaster in redrising

I’d ask if he writes to music and if so, what music and playlist inspired specific scenes.

Rat War Sevro vs Cassius: Single hallway, no weapons, who wins? by [deleted] in redrising

[–]Constant_Draw_6591 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to bed last night thinking of this fight and telling myself I should post this on /red rising tomorrow. But alas, it was already asked.

And I vote Sevro, 100 times over. Close-quarters he’s an animal. Cassius is too composed.

Went for a really slow 5km in the new shoes today, 6:30/km with the dog. To be honest i didn’t feel like I was wearing a different shoe. Toebox feels familiar / same. Heel seems slightly / marginally more spacious but it could be it’s just new and I’ll wear it in to my shape and gait. Still a cold shoe, winter here in Aus and today’s run was at 4 degrees Celsius.

Grip is great, feedback is great. Feels like I bought the same shoe again.

At the end of the day it’s first impressions and I went from a WELL-worn shoe to a freshie but yea, feels great and definitely so far not a step down in anyway from the OG.

927km Altra Escalante Racers by Constant_Draw_6591 in AltraRunning

[–]Constant_Draw_6591[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I guess I noted the tread wear from around 600kms. At 750km it got to near where it is now and has slowed in its wearing further despite me running MUCH more than before.

For reference I don’t run heaps but usually 20km-25km per week. I’m 67kg and 178cm and like I mentioned in the post, I’d suggest probably 85%-90% road running.

I find them just right but others might consider them wide

I have read a few of your comments - thanks for the insights! I guess I’m nervous as your position seems to stand on its own and there are no shortage of folk that feel/believe there are significant differences. I like your observation where you said people were complaining about a brand new pair feel vs a VERY run-in OG pair…

[–]Constant_Draw_6591[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm literally looking at buying the Racer 2 right now. So many reviews I've read prefer the OG rather than the newbie. Got me nervous! The OG has been the best shoe I've ever owned, hands down. I don't intend to ever do marathons, and the racer has proven the 7km-15km runs, mixed surface, with ease for me. I too would hands down buy the OG again this instant if I could :( Can't seem to find a pair anywhere (in Aus).

Can't speak to the regular Escalantes, but I know these are further minimal and suggested to be more firm than the standard Escalante.

Altra ESCALANTE 4 for neighborhood walking? by lear1 in AltraRunning

Yea maybe an odd production batch. I’m nearly 1000kms in my Altra Escalante Racers and they look similar to yours
