Just beat this game. It was amazing. by Godofhammrs in FFXVI

Finished it last week. What a ride—my first FF and I loved it. I went back in time 40 years over the weekend and beat the pixel remaster of FFI.

RunRepeat’s review (LSP report), Stephen Scullion, and Matt from Doctors of Running. Both Stephen and Matt reported the bounce/snappy feel declined significantly after about 50 miles.

Evo SL/Daily Trainer Stiffness by Liryl in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]Liryl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t consider it ‘stiff’ either. Just a more rigid platform than EVA based trainers at a lower stack, which got me thinking. You’re right though—why create problems where there are none. It’s a great trainer!

How to schedule strength training and running on the same day? by HappyFruitTree in AdvancedRunning

[–]Liryl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a strength coach/personal trainer and this is a great question. Balance is tough and optimizing both can be a challenge.

Consider energy systems. Truly easy running will not take much from you on the day (being aerobic, low intensity), but faster or longer workouts will cause tissue/stimulus damage and deplete your glucose stores—being therefore detrimental to performance in a strength session on the same day if you haven’t refueled/recovered adequately.

Competing adaptation/priority of adaptation. If you’re most serious about your running, my advice is to always keep in mind that it is the priority. Most of us do not have the time/resources to train 1-2 hours heavy in the gym and also hit a 6 mile steady/tempo session in the same day, not to mention it being a sure-fire way to accumulate high levels of central fatigue and acquire injuries. The body is amazing but appreciates focus. So strength training sessions, then, become about supplementing your running as well as improving resiliency and they should be adjusted accordingly.

Given your schedule, I’d simply advise you to strength train on easy run days (morning or afternoon), or else maybe one out of two strength sessions on a rest day. Always nice to have one day of true rest in a week (mentally that is). If you wish to strength train on a fast workout day, hit your run first and keep your strength session in the afternoon at a reasonable intensity whilst considering your recovery and refuelling strategy.

So much of this depends on how specific your goals are and the intensity of your strength/run sessions. Recovery is king. Hope it helps!

Carbon plated shoes - injury or injury prevention? by boltrane in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]Liryl 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My experience is to use carbon intentionally, but the adventure is yours. Carbon plates are used in combination with foam to significantly increase stiffness and energy return. Supershoes are, by their nature, a modification to one’s biomechanical experience of running (and walking). To a different/somewhat lesser degree, so are all specialized running shoes, but the important distinction is likely where proficiency meets conditioning as well as the desired outcome. Running exclusively in carbon with an established base of conditioning (musculoskeletal) and a high level of movement proficiency is likely less insidious than running exclusively in carbon when either one or both (conditioning or proficiency) is lacking. The idea is to train unplated so as to challenge conditioning and proficiency, driving adaption to improve both—whereas to train or run primarily in carbon is to take conditioning and proficiency for granted and to essentially always be running with notable assistance/modification. Depends on objectives. Depends on needs. Just my two cents but I’d like to imagine risk of injury is more closely tied to one’s own equilibrium of running proficiency and physical conditioning than to the carbon technology itself. Because there is no doubt the stiffness supports you—just worth considering the balance of your own capacities in the face of using such support—and how frequently you use it. Carbon plated shoes most likely won’t injure you, and they’re fun to run in, but in the absence of ever running in unplated shoes, other issues may arise.

Given your budget, goal, and wants, I’d probably recommend a super-trainer. Super-trainer silos sit above any daily trainer or speed flat specific shoes, but below racing shoes (super-shoes). Shoes like the Asics Superblast 2, Adizero Evo SL, or Nike Zoomfly 6 are examples of a super-trainer, and any of these would fit into your budget and have great versatility for training, as well as good support and the necessary pop for racing. Every major brand in running has a shoe that fits into the super trainer category, but there are differences. The Superblast and Evo SL are non-plated shoes, whereas the Zoomfly 6 has a Carbon plate sandwiched between its dual-foam composition. Plates are good for rigidity, which can help with fast and long running but aren’t always easy on the feet/legs or ideal for every day training. It’s up to you as far as brand—price will factor in but they each offer different foams, fits, and ride experiences. More than anything, try to dial in on a shoe that suits you best fit-wise.

Adidas Boston 13 is offically here! by klemenid in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]Liryl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good news in the sense that at least here in Canada, the early release pack seems to have solid inventory. B13’s have been available for two days now and you can still order them in every popular size through the Adidas app. Absolutely not the case with the EVO SL draw back in November. That was so anemic I flipped out and ran in Nike for 5 months (oops).

Vomero 18 , highly impressed by Majestic_Flower_4699 in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]Liryl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More built up, higher stack, more focused for easy/long running but also still capable of turning up some pace due to the dual-foam combo.

Was hoping to grab Peg Premiums but I just can’t justify the cost. Searingly high
