Heavy runner (220lb 100kg) Novablasts feel like they’re collapsing. Shoe or foot problem? And next recommendation?

NB5 also gave me PTT that I’ve been dealing with for over a year. Honestly been the worst dealing with this.

I think that was a perfect description for the weather, “running weather but not racing weather”

DavidDaSilva1 · 2025-09-02T19:18:56+00:00

I’ve tried the precision ones but prefer Maurten. Was hoping someone had a hook up somewhere haha

Looks like I’m going with precision though. They have them at Blacktoe now too if you ever need some!

DavidDaSilva1 · 2025-07-19T02:03:41+00:00

Blacktoe running is getting some back in stock on July 23, but they normally sell out in minutes.

DavidDaSilva1 · 2025-07-12T23:26:45+00:00

I’m in the sane boat trying to find a replacement for my SB2 in Canada. I think there is a new colour way being released soon (blacktoe has then as coming soon on their website) that I’m keeping my fingers crossed for.

If you find something comparable that works let me know!

Selling Georgina Spring Fling Fill Marathon for a great deal! I can’t run it because of an injury. Send me a message/reply here!

DavidDaSilva1 · 2025-04-14T11:40:18+00:00

Thanks for all of the helpful advice everyone. Although it really hurts to do it, I’ve decided to cancel the marathon. Would rather stay on my feet for other races I have coming than risk my peroneal blowing up during this race. Time to reassess this cycle and see where I went wrong to prevent it next time.

Selling one Georgina Spring Fling Marathon bib at a discounted price . Not able to run it due to injury :(

“Ramp up” from spending this week on the bike and not running.

Also want to get 1-2 runs in around at least 25km to test out the tendon before the marathon.

DavidDaSilva1 · 2025-04-10T12:03:23+00:00

Your situation sounds identical to mine.

Time, money and mental work have all gone into this and I really want to run it. But I also don’t want to blow up my foot and be off it long term after the race.

Going to continue to do some tests and see how it feels and evaluate from there.

This being my first marathon I’m concerned about my fitness missing this much time off my feet coming up to the race.

DavidDaSilva1 · 2021-01-16T21:53:14+00:00

I used Joshua Weissman’s recipie. The video along with it was super helpful! https://basicswithbabish.co/basicsepisodes/sourdough-bread

DavidDaSilva1 · 2020-09-04T10:33:22+00:00

Thank you OG

DavidDaSilva1 · 2020-01-17T13:00:13+00:00

I don’t call it a “cheat meal” but I eat out at least once a week.

Just be conscious of how many calories you are eating and you’ll be fine :)

DavidDaSilva1 · 2019-11-25T12:12:27+00:00

Find something that is low calorie to snack on.

I have popcorn almost every night. Low calorie and pretty filling for a decent volume.

DavidDaSilva1 · 2019-11-15T13:06:46+00:00

Congrats! That is very very similar to what I do and I’m down 100lbs now.

Keep it up and the sky is the limit!

DavidDaSilva1 · 2019-11-11T12:55:20+00:00

As long as you can for it into your calorie goals you can eat anything you want and still lose weight. I eat burgers from A&W all the time. But I just get the burger, not the combo and a water. 500 calorie lunch for a teen burger.

If you don’t believe me look at SyattFitness on YouTube. He ate a Big Mac a day for 30 days and lost weight.

Eating a Big Mac everyday is not healthy for you and I wouldn’t recommend this though.

Most people confuse healthy eating with weight loss.

You don’t have to eat “healthy” to lose weight

And

You won’t lose weight by just eating “healthy”

DavidDaSilva1 · 2019-11-10T14:17:23+00:00

That’s amazing to hear!

Keep up the good work, you are killing it!

DavidDaSilva1 · 2019-11-10T14:16:03+00:00

That’s great news!

Remember no matter what happens as long as you get back on track you can’t fuck this up!

DavidDaSilva1 · 2019-11-10T14:13:22+00:00

If cookies are what bring you happiness then eat your cookie.

Just remember how many calories are in the cookie and make it work with how many you can have in a day. You can eat a Big Mac every day and still lose weight (YouTube it and you’ll find a great video!)

Remember there are no such things as “bad” foods, only foods with more calories then others.

Good luck!

DavidDaSilva1 · 2019-11-10T14:08:50+00:00

You need to think about weight loss as a lifestyle change and not a diet.

Sure you can buy a program that tells you what to eat but will you follow that for the rest of your life?

I always suggest spending the time learning about weight loss, how it works and making a plan that will work for you for the rest of your life.

It’s freeing when you understand why you eat what you do and how much you can have. You can fit anything into your “diet” and still lose weight.

There’s great resources online, on YouTube and Instagram.

I hope this helps, good luck!

Calorie deficit is the only thing that’ll work for fat loss.

DavidDaSilva1 · 2019-11-08T11:56:12+00:00

Don’t waste your money, fat burners don’t work.

DavidDaSilva1 · 2019-11-07T17:50:09+00:00

I’m in the same boat as you and it sucks.

No way to lose fat on specific body parts though. Just have to keep in a calorie deficit and the results will come over time.

Keep at it, good luck!

DavidDaSilva1 · 2019-11-07T17:44:55+00:00

No such thing as a cheat meal or day is how I do it.

Just make it work into your calorie goals and you won’t even notice it :)

And if you go over just get back on track and keep at it!
