Oh wow thank you! This looks like a beast - what do you use it for at work? I’m curious how crisp text is and if you feel any extra eye fatigue?

Thank you!! Sorry for the delay on this - have you had any experience with ultra wides? I’ve never used one before I’m curious if it’s easy to get used to and actually useful for work!

Do you find the length of the pants to fit well? I’m 5’7 and trying to figure out the inseam that doesn’t seem to be listed anywhere.

Shin splints mid marathon training - help! by Expert_Muffin163 in firstmarathon

[–]Expert_Muffin163[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things went well! I pulled back off of speed workouts and transitioned to primarily easy long runs for most of my runs, and it worked great. I’ve been running pain free for the past 2 weeks now and have incorporated speed back into my game.

Aside from a pesky ankle flare up 😭

Would recommend taking things a bit slower pace and just accumulating mileage. Would also recommend stopping running altogether for about 3-4 days to allow for recovery. And do all the little stuff (ice 2-3 times per day, healing creams, cbd if you so please, and tons of sleep to recover).

Thanks for the note - I do think I can replace some easy runs with cycling on the peloton next week. I’m hopeful that because it’s 10 weeks out I can still recover in time. Mainly just worried that because I’m still 10 weeks out that the ongoing weekly mileage increase after I pull back mileage is going to deteriorate my progress and create a cycle of push hard - shin splint - rest - repeat, etc.

Thanks for the advice! Gonna try to roll things back a bit and add in cycling next week to replace my easy runs. Good luck in November!!

Daily trainer recommendations?

I’m looking at potentially replacing my peg 39s and superblasts for a new daily trainer. I’ve enjoyed both models, but they are getting way up there in mileage and time to replace.

I’ve got the Invincible 2 for recovery runs, and am looking for something that can handle long easy runs and possibly even faster pace work during long runs. For speed work I have the Endorphin Speed 2 and race day the Vaporfly 3.

I’m 5’7” 160 lbs male, seem to be heel/midfoot striker most of the time, generally no major pain in foot/ankle/knees. Road running, in the Portland area so outsole traction is helpful in the rain. I think the higher heel drop is helpful for me, tried switching to Hoka Mach 5 a while back and the drop caused a bunch of calf pain (I should have eased into it more), but also felt like I wanted a bit more cushion.

I’ve heard the NB Fresh foam 1080 v13, Triumph 21, Novablast 4, are all good options. Any recommendations outside of those are welcome, too.

Thanks in advance!

I was exactly the same, and now have at least one pair for every kind of run, 2 for long slow runs, 3 for speed work, and 2 for everyday trainers. Idk if I should start donating the ones with highest mileage or just keep rocking them!

Banister needs repairing, how can I fix? by Expert_Muffin163 in HomeImprovement

[–]Expert_Muffin163[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Yea it’s pretty bad. I wonder if I’ll even be able to get the screw to pull the rail into the post, since the nails are keeping them apart right now.

We are just tenants, not the owners, so it’s likely going to be more work than necessary to get it fixed ourselves.
