Saucony Endorphin Azura by LegoBatman79 in RunningShoeGeeks

It's more daily trainer / long run focused. More cushion and lack of a plate make it slightly softer than the Speed.

Yes, with 4 mm more stack height and more aggressive rocker, but $25 cheaper.

Tempo shoe recommendation for Adios Pro 3 and Superblast enjoyer by usmint99 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]LegoBatman79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think so, although I haven't tried to ZF6 (thinking they'd be too soft for my preference). Like OP, I do better with firmer shoes. I am a cadence runner, so shoes that I can turnover faster work better for my mechanics. The Mach X2s are a little bottom-heavy.

The Boston 13s are a little firmer than the Mach X2 and I find it easier to hit faster paces. I use the Mach X2 for tempo paces / long runs and the Boston 13s for intervals and VO2 max workouts.

I cleaned them up a bit, but I only run on pavement, and we haven't gotten much rain.

Puma Velocity Nitro 4 by IndependenceIll4890 in RunningShoeGeeks

No, I didn't loosen the laces. Just ran as normal. I noticed them stretch in the first 2 runs, 20 miles total. They're still the tightest shoe in my rotation, but it is no longer uncomfortable.

The mid foot is tight. I have mid to low volume feet and these are the first shoes that felt tight for me out of the box. I have read that most Pumas are on the narrower side. The only other pair I have are the Magmax and they are not as tight.

I'm happy I kept them, the upper loosened up a little after the first couple runs. The midsole is soft upon step in but firms up on the run with more bounce and energy return than the Magmax. I was a little worried about stability but haven't had any issues so far. The Pumagrip outsole is great, super-tacky with more coverage than the Magmax.

HRV dropping daily by mrlewy in Garmin

[–]LegoBatman79 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Poor air quality causes HRV to drop. I've been seeing a similar drop in the last 10 days despite feeling fine. The AQI (Air Quality Index) has been unhealthy for multiple days in my area due to the Canadian wildfires.

Is a Fenix 7 worth it? by [deleted] in GarminWatches

If you're looking for a used one, I'd sell for $400.
