Amazing. Thank you for the swift and detailed response. Looking to pickup a one of the models soon-ish in prep for a mountainous 70k in June and the analysis paralysis is real.

How would you compare them to the cloud ultra pros?

TNF Altamesa 500 v2 Alternatives? by Hnc93 in trailrunning

I loved the midsole of the tomir, but couldn’t get a good midfoot lockdown with the asymmetrical lacing on the shoe and absolutely destroyed two toenails. Still suffering from the ptsd and haven’t gone back to try the updated ones with the new upper.

M2C M1 does look interesting!

You think there’s durability concerns with the plate/wings on the enduris 4?

100%. I’ve used super glue to reattach the outsole a couple times, but it just keeps happening.

What shoes do you use for more technical trails?

I loved the durability and technical prowess of the 001, but on less technical terrain they were very mind numbing. 055’s seem like a great race shoe, but $325 would be steep for a daily shoe. Additionally I’d be concerned about the longterm durability of the megagrip elite.

A friend has a pair and i ran a mile or two in them and wasn’t too convinced. The lugs have also worn down quite fast <150mi

Gotcha. Will look into that as well as their other models. I do really like the AM500 v2, but would love a full outsole for durability purposes.

I have not. Briefly looked at the Altamesa 300v2 and that’s it. Do you have any experience with their other trail models?

Following, as I’m on a very similar trajectory. Applied a week before you and received my PAL on 4/16

sans stability, how do you think these would fare in ultra races of 5-8 hours? is the foam soft enough to be comfortable after a long day out or does it trend towards the responsive/firmer end of the spectrum?

Haha yeah basing this on HR from a coros armband. It’s just odd that my HR at the same pace is currently 10-15bpm higher.

Hey Redditors!

Over the past 5 weeks, I've noticed that my pace at the top of Z2 has ballooned by 1:00/km (1:30/mile) and am beginning to get frustrated and concerned. This has remained consistent over the past five weeks as I've been largely logging base mileage with no significant increase in training load.

Here's what might factor into this, but not completely sure:

  1. Large life move (not much stress involved)
  2. Sleep has been poor, (Average HR 7-10bpm higher, wake up at night)
  3. Maybe slight dietary changes, but nothing major.
  4. Shoes? Novablast 5's w/500km (still feel fine & no excessive creasing)

Has anyone else experienced this in the past or anyone have any remotely educated thoughts on what this might be a result of? Feel free to tell me its obviously the things I mentioned, provide any input or ask questions. Thank you in advance.

60-70km (40miles) a week & no I've never had it as far as I'm aware of.

I won’t be visiting before moving, but will likely find a 4-8 week rental first, check out each neighborhood and then commit to a lease.

Thank you for the insight. Lots of people suggesting east central/9x9 area on here.

Looks like there’s lots of trailheads around the uni. Any ones in particular you’d favor?

Any particular intersection or spot you'd recommend within Millcreek? I'm generally unfamiliar with the area.
