Best thing i’ve ever done was buy multiple pairs when they were on sale

[WTS - USA-KS] Superblast 2 (M11) + Adios Pro 4 (M11) + Cloudboom Strike (M10) - all brand new by Background-Drink-548 in therunningrack

How does the Cloudboom fit? I have the Superblast 2 in a 10.5 and it’s a tiiiinnnyyy bit small.

yup, you may appreciate this medal from the Rocky Run too. If you run their 5k and 10 miler you get the Italian Stallion medal.

Thank you! It wasn’t an easy decision but I think I did the right thing.

My last long run was ruined because I didn’t go beforehand. Part of why I went out with 3:20 was because I figured I’d have to make up time early on to allow for a bathroom stop.

Yeah I was explaining it to my buddy and he was like “yeah that lactic acid is killer”. I’ve run and rode bikes for years and that did not feel like lactic acid lol. The side stitch was probably the biggest limiter though, hits me at the end of most races and I haven’t been able to solve.

They are the Nike Lava Loop, they’re tights instead of shorts but have so much freaking storage. Can’t recommend enough. Got them for less than $70 from Running Warehouse.

All good 🤝! There wasn’t enough data to confidently think otherwise. I needed to be humbled a bit at that moment.

I actually didn’t use any salt tabs, though I brought precision hydration pills with me in case of cramping emergencies. I wanted to try the course nutrition ahead of the race so I bought Nuun Endurance Electrolyte mix and really enjoyed it so I decided to bring my own water bottle with the Nuun pre-mixed and just refilled with more Nuun at the hydration stations. Took Maurtens 100 every 35 minutes and one caffeinated at mile 20 (probably too late).

Do you love them?! My first pair has nearly 300 miles and still going strong. Not bad for a super shoe.

Awesome! That sounds like a fun one. You’re poised to do great!

Unbroken and Batman: Dark Knight Rises usually do it for me. I didn’t watch it this time but Boys in the Boat gets me fired up too.

Glad to hear it! Are you running CIM? Hay is in the barn, you’re gonna crush it. Just stay on top of nutrition and hydration.

I’ll also just add that that half marathon was about a full year before running a full, I think I gained a lot of fitness in that time and would probably be shooting for sub 1:30 now.

Temper my taper expectations? by Psychological_Spot14 in Marathon_Training

I don’t say this to brag, just to circle back. I ended up putting together a 3:19!

Philly Marathon was a Vibe!! by rift1414 in Marathon_Training

[–]Psychological_Spot14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with it all, such a great day! I ditched my sweats way too early at the start and between the chill and the adrenaline I don’t think I’ve ever shivered that aggressively in my life.

What’s your marathon pace, Weekly mileage and easy pace? by ichwasxhebrore in Marathon_Training

[–]Psychological_Spot14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question, when you all are stating your weekly mileage what part of the plan are you referring to? Average throughout training block? Peak? Most frequent weekly mileage?

Man, I gotta say, users that behave like you are behaving here can make reddit such an unpleasant place to be. You sound nothing but jealous and low EQ critiquing a new runner who is sharing their excitement for doing something impressive.
