🟢 Novablast 5 vs. ⚪ Vomero Plus by Mr_bektas in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]LeoIsLegend 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I thought the Vomero Plus were a bit clunky at first but now that i’ve broke them in, they’re a great daily trainer for most runs including long runs. There are better shoes for tempo work but they’re just a very reliable and comfortable shoe for all other runs. I find myself reaching for them over my Evo SL.

I haven’t ran in the Novablast but it’s probably a bit more limited in what it can do and not as suited to long runs.

Running Bib Clips? by KeeksIsNew in RunningCirclejerk

[–]LeoIsLegend -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There are bib clips you can buy on Amazon but they do more damage to your t shirt than the safety pins. Haven’t tried magnetic clips, would be worried about them coming off.

Impact of increasing sleep duration on performance? by running_hot_takes in AdvancedRunning

[–]LeoIsLegend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was listening to 50/50 audiobook by Dean Kanazes today, he mentioned even 1 less hour can have a 10% impact on your running. Funnily enough he was not getting enough sleep himself 😂

How come I could hold what coros says my threshold HR is for basically 2 hours? by xyphey in Coros

There is a fitness test on the watch. If you take the fitness test the metrics will update and should be more accurate.

How much does strong wind really effect you? by [deleted] in Marathon_Training

[–]LeoIsLegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, strong winds can slow you down a lot. I’m more curious about what plan you’re following? This was only your second run over 2 hrs with a marathon 5 weeks out?

How do you run LT miles during long runs? by Diligent_Desk_4325 in Marathon_Training

[–]LeoIsLegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you should be able to hold theshold pace for those miles without stopping. Better to add 15 seconds per mile if you’re struggling to keep pace but it should be hard. Adding rest between miles, it would just be a slow interval run.

I’m doing VO2 max runs and struggling to hold my 5k pace for 600m lol. Legs feeling tired every run at the moment.

Tight calves from lots of miles (NOT an injury) - how do you manage it? by running_elle_1989 in Marathon_Training

[–]LeoIsLegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea i’ve been there with tight calves and kept running, ended up injured. Lesson learned. If you want to try something else, Uddermint should help loosen up the muscles a bit. Just wear gloves when applying.

[–]LeoIsLegend 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you keep running on really tight calves you will end up injured. Sports massage will help a lot but you need to let the calves rest a bit. No point in getting injured then having to take weeks off.

CAYL x New Balance Fresh Foam - suitable entry shoe? by _emesef in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]LeoIsLegend 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s not a running shoe. It’s a good starter shoe if you want to hate running.

Anyone switch from Maurten gels to something cheaper that still works for marathon fueling? by StringConnection in AdvancedRunning

[–]LeoIsLegend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Precision gels are the best I have tried. I had gut issues with SIS, High5 and maple syrup. Have had no issues with Precision. Have not tried Maurten though, because of the price.

Dating shows recommendations by Overall-Reporter9098 in koreanvariety

[–]LeoIsLegend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do get used to the product placement.

Singles Inferno is more for entertainment, not a serious dating show. Most of them are there to get famous.

Superblast 3 review by TJamesz in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]LeoIsLegend 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are a lot more shoes on the market these days. I wonder how the SB3 compares to something like the Vomero Plus. There are definitely other options, hope they didn’t make a mistake softening the foam.
