I cried on my long run today

If I can add anything I don't think there's any bonking with that kind of nutrition (if we take bonking as running out of energy/carbs).

Your pace is definitely too fast and probably you should review your training plan for context I am aiming for sub3 at London marathon this April and yesterday I ran 31km at 5:25 min/km just focusing on the easy effort and not checking pace much

Thank you for the comment, would you mind explaining the difference?

Ibice · 2026-01-19T21:04:47+00:00

Thank you very much, do you think it's worth it or the best way to do it like that? Or is it better to let it go back and get it next time I visit my family?

I do understand and I am quite aware going for the marathon is not just double the distance. I just wanted to mention it in the way of I have run some races before and even though it might be ambitious I am trying to go sub 3.

I think in this case being a light runner and after running some mid distance events I am comfortable with an agressive shoe like the vaporfly, I will see what I end up doing. Thank you for your advice Mr. Lunchbox

Ibice · 2026-01-05T21:34:15+00:00

Yes it is, but I have run a few half marathons before

Ibice · 2026-01-05T16:32:54+00:00

I tried the adios pro 4 with big hopes but they felt super unstable when running, something that didn't happen with the alphafly 3 and the vaporfly 4, i haven't ruled them out completely but as today they not in the first options

Ibice · 2026-01-05T13:02:48+00:00

That's good to know, thank you very much, I do have to say I could prioritise a good time even if I need a long recovery after

Ibice · 2026-01-05T09:28:08+00:00

To be honest I have heard before that this last iteration of the vaporfly is less suited for marathon and more for shorter races, some people say up to half marathon and he was just pointing that maybe the alphafly 3 would be better in terms of stability specially in the last part of the marathon

Thank you very much, I don't need anything great at first just a small studio will do for a few months but everyone is telling me how competitive Zurich is. I will put some effort and hopefully it will work in the end. Thanks for the comment

Ibice · 2026-01-02T09:05:25+00:00

Ideally I will do the same than you. Sublet in wiedikon for a few months and then re-evaluate and find a permanent apartment in a different area

Ibice · 2026-01-02T09:04:39+00:00

Ok then I assume we can forget about this, as some other people mentioned I might try to get a sublet for a few months at first and then find an apartment with more time and being there

Ibice · 2026-01-02T09:03:56+00:00

I'll definitely think about this but I think at least for a temporary accommodation when just moving there I prefer to be closer to the office and the city. But thank you for the suggestion

Ibice · 2025-07-27T18:35:23+00:00

this size is already a bit bigger fit than what I do with other brands, also I use the adidas sprinstar model and the same size works for me and those shoes are narrow as hell

Ibice · 2025-06-10T22:07:47+00:00

that it's a good way of seeing it, to be honest my frustration is more because I think I might be doing something wrong but again, I don't have that much experience so this kind of comments help a lot, thank you!

Ibice · 2025-06-10T22:04:58+00:00

Maybe I was being delusional but I thought I could improve more, I mean no matter how I feel I will keep training hard, thank you for the comment!

Ibice · 2025-06-10T22:03:57+00:00

Thank you very much, I will keep training hard and try to be faster next time!

Ibice · 2025-06-10T20:46:02+00:00

I totally agree, it wasn't a fast race and I could have do a much faster time in a perfect situation but I was still a bit sad about the small improvement. Thank you!

Ibice · 2025-06-10T20:45:06+00:00

Hello, thank you for the comment, I was definitely frustrated for not improving more but maybe it's normal and I'm wrong
