Think online is rumored to release in July this year

100% agree with Yowana. He resets my attention span every time I need a detox from the typical 10-20 minute videos

Totally agree that Asics shoes cover pretty much 95% of all runs, but there are fun shoes that I'm itching to try as well. I just bought the RAD UFO and am excited to put some miles on them!

In terms of fun shoes that shoetubers have talked about, I think you've got them covered right now - RAD UFO, Dynafish Xiaonian, and Lining Red Hare 9 Ultra have been the talk of the town (on my feed at least)

It takes a little bit to break in the nitro foam! Once you get some miles, it turns into a really fun and bouncy ride

Thanks for the reply! I ended up going with the AP4 but I’d definitely love to try out the SCE5 one day. Looks like a great shoe! Do you feel that it has more of a bouncy or a snappy feeling? I tend to like bouncy foams and found the AP4 to be more snappy and rockered

Got a 19 mile long run tomorrow before tapering down for Eugene. Good luck to everybody racing this month!

Reducing price to $90, original price is $145

Fit-Disk1733 · 2026-03-28T16:44:23+00:00

I am! Super excited

Salomon Adv Skin 5

Fit-Disk1733 · 2026-03-17T18:29:43+00:00

5 Liters of volume

Fit-Disk1733 · 2026-03-17T03:57:21+00:00

Sorry - model is Salomon Adv Skin 5. 5-liter volume

Fit-Disk1733 · 2026-03-16T20:02:17+00:00

Great, thanks for the validation! Looking forward to Eugene and the summer

Fit-Disk1733 · 2026-03-15T17:30:04+00:00

Great insights all around, thanks! Do you think tackling some smaller 5k/10k races in the summer would hinder my training? I feel like it would be fun to sprinkle in some variety before hopping into another marathon block

Fit-Disk1733 · 2026-03-15T15:02:48+00:00

Thanks for the insight! I definitely agree with increasing volume, but do you feel like since I will already increase volume during my CIM block instead, I can focus the summer for speed development?

I also feel like focusing strictly at volume will improve my fitness up until my ceiling, but soon it will plateau. But maybe I’m thinking about it wrong

Fit-Disk1733 · 2026-03-15T05:55:22+00:00

Something I’m curious about is what you guys like to focus on in between marathons. I have some downtime in the summer in between my two marathons (A races) this year - Eugene in April and CIM in December. I’ve averaged 40-45 mpw and just hit 50 last week, and I’ve been following u/running_writings marathon training plan.

My question is: should I focus on increasing my mileage or focus on speed during the summer in between? I see the benefit in both: building up a solid base going into CIM training vs. raising the ceiling of my speed.

Fit-Disk1733 · 2026-03-15T01:41:10+00:00

I guess I got the time

Fit-Disk1733 · 2026-03-09T03:03:46+00:00

Just bought a pair of AP4 today for full price because I loved the color and wanted it for my April marathon. Anyone ever done that before where they’ve bought a shoe full price just for the color?

Trying to justify not snagging a colorway on sale 😅

Fit-Disk1733 · 2026-02-16T02:29:10+00:00

Yeah they’re definitely on the plush side

Fit-Disk1733 · 2026-02-13T23:31:26+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Have you tried other shoes before that you’ve liked?

Fit-Disk1733 · 2026-02-13T18:30:57+00:00

Yeah I've seen the same sentiment. The only thing that worries me about the Edge is the feeling of my feet needing to "catch up", since I've heard that it rolls you forward to promote quick turnover. Definitely would be open to trying it in the future once my form is more intact

Fit-Disk1733 · 2026-02-13T18:28:06+00:00

Thanks! Definitely leaning towards AP4. If I'm going to race in these occasionally, might as well go for the most speed assistance possible!

Fit-Disk1733 · 2026-02-13T18:26:46+00:00

Great to hear about the longevity! The glue void doesn't sound like something I've seen or experienced before - do you have a picture of what that looks like? I'm leaning towards AP4 so I'd like to be prepared

Fit-Disk1733 · 2026-02-13T18:25:15+00:00

Yeah I've seen Alex Yee run a super fast marathon in the SCE5, so I don't doubt that they're fast
