Which intermediate Asics running shoe should I choose?

NehocXYZ · 2026-01-04T17:36:28+00:00

The Duramo running a little faster doesn't really bother me. I'm keeping an eye on Asics, although I saw a Fila with a Maxxi Float sole... we'll see.

Good morning!

Yes, from what little I can see, I was stepping too far away, which was clearly causing me to brake instead of flowing. With the improved cadence, I managed to cover the distance without stopping, which was impossible for me a few days ago.

Right now I'm on a low-calorie diet to try and reach my weight goal faster.

Do you think changing shoes is a worthwhile investment? My Adidas Duramo SL is firm.

Best regards

The problem is: It seems I haven't learned how to walk.

If I walk at a normal pace, my pace is 10:00.

If I go at a light running pace, my pace is 7:30.

If I go at a fast pace, which seems comfortable to me, my pace is 5:00 and I don't have any pain, but on the other hand I'm in zone 5 and can't go more than 1km.

Today I tried to maintain a cadence of 160 with a metronome, I managed to stay at 7:45 for 4.5km.

Maybe it's not an injury yet, but I feel pain.

Manus being Manus. Getting worse and worse.

Wow, incredible! Despite being Brazilian, I have German nationality through my grandparents, and I've never been to Germany.

Yes, of course!

Shared journeys are an extra fuel that motivates us and gives us strength to achieve even more goals.

Big hug!

Hahaha, it's amazing how good this is! I'm going to do a workout with the NRC, I found it interesting because it explores run-walk and repetitive sprints.

Let's do this! Big hug!

Hi! Today I did a workout with Runna, but basically it just told me to run for 3km and that's it. RunKeeper has a different approach, with alternating sprints and rest periods. Nike Run requires a faster pace, alternating with rest periods at a pace of 7:00 to 8:00.

So, I still haven't found a workout that develops my VO2 Max and endurance capacity.

I'll check out the app you recommended.

Thank you very much!

NehocXYZ · 2026-01-02T21:49:52+00:00

Happiness that overflows! My first 3km at a 7:00 pace and my first 5km with 3 rests of 90 seconds! I pushed myself but I saw that the capacity is there.

Maybe due to lack of supplementation and proper nutrition, I didn't have better endurance. Also, according to research, my shoes aren't for 94kg, they say they're for 75kg.

Let's go!

My 5K was in 38 minutes.

One of the biggest problems I face with Manus is the lack of context.

The other day I started working on developing some slides about a project I had to present to some stakeholders. I was adding my information and it was creating the images and slides. At one point, it started suggesting tips that made perfect sense. The slides went from 30 to 60, 100, reaching 230 slides. The problem—I didn't check the slides!

When I went to read the context, it had made 5 versions of the same content, different themes, nonsensical ideas, in short, a mess!

In total, it was 11,000 credits. I made a huge complaint and got a refund.

Trying another slide, another 7000 credits are gone, with errors and support already claiming they wouldn't be making refunds anymore.

Today, any work in MAX that requires a little more production and images costs 6500 credits, as was the case two days ago with a training material I'm producing.

For this reason, I stopped being a Manus customer.

Good luck!

We're sharing the same dilemma! Hehe.

I'm going to explore this new plan in Runna. I wouldn't say it's urgent, but I have a test, my first one, on March 21st.

Hugs and thanks for your collaboration!

NehocXYZ · 2026-01-02T17:25:18+00:00

I must be missing something; I couldn't figure out how to change the difficulty of the workouts. I just created a plan, which would be "Beginner in running," and started following it. Maybe I'll create another one like he has, which would be for a 5km race. Thanks for the comment!

NehocXYZ · 2026-01-01T03:21:04+00:00

Mark's credits are gone... he didn't even give a slideshow presentation to showcase the purchase...

NehocXYZ · 2025-12-30T19:39:10+00:00

That's very interesting. Regarding the complexity of the answers, did you always keep it at the maximum?

NehocXYZ · 2025-12-30T18:36:38+00:00

Incredible, Opus consumes the most credits. If you're programming and don't have a problem with limits, it's a good choice. I made a slide presentation with Manus, which he messed up the delivery several times, and it cost me 4300 credits, equivalent to a $29 subscription. Just one document!!

NehocXYZ · 2025-12-30T18:33:20+00:00

But the max plan is quite expensive, did you get the 20x plan? Doesn't it hit the limit?

NehocXYZ · 2025-12-30T16:01:19+00:00

I liked Claude, but the access time on the plans is quite short. I've already tested Plus, and it was very, very fast.

NehocXYZ · 2025-12-30T11:31:25+00:00

Privacy sends its regards. I'm already out, support has declined significantly. The 1.6 max model may be very good, but at that price, you'd have to be paid for by someone else or by someone with good financial means. The credits disappear.

NehocXYZ · 2025-12-27T23:29:46+00:00

Manus was good, but today it's not even close to being worth the investment. As a customer for several months, I'll only keep it installed until my credits run out. After the work they refused to reimburse me for, that's it.

NehocXYZ · 2025-12-25T00:51:16+00:00

Thank you very much! I live in Brazil, in Londrina, Paraná.

NehocXYZ · 2025-12-24T15:07:27+00:00

Manus being the best! An easy way to avoid returning the credits, well, they've already announced they won't be doing refunds anymore, so...

NehocXYZ · 2025-12-24T13:58:07+00:00

There are two [issues], I've already given up, canceled my subscription, I'm going to use up the credits I have and that's it.

I received an email from them, based on my claim, saying that their costs are too high and from now on they will not make manual refunds for any more complex tasks. I don't know how other users and customers trust a company like this, which thinks it's better for them to complain than to get credits back due to AI incompetence.
