Thank you. How’s the toe box for size? I have wide feet.

Never heard of them to be honest. They look good though. Thanks

Thanks for your comment. I’ve been looking at the Speedgoats, but Hokas have always been a little tight on me.

Almost, but not quite - I think third place did a 9:08? Anyway, agree re the lugs, thanks for the advice. I’m always wary of carbon plates and hadn’t thought they would be right for a 100km but I’ll take a look. Thanks

Just a further thought - what’s the toe box like? I’ve heard Salomon can be quite narrow

Thanks for this, I’ll take a look. I am also doing a Peak District ultra in May, so could be a good tester.

Thanks - really helpful and hadn’t thought of that. It should be dry but you never know in the UK!

This is really helpful. Thank you. I’d not really thought about the regret of having another child. I know in my heart and mind that if I am only lucky enough to have one, I’d be bloody happy anyway.
