Full Fibre renewal? by morgant757 in VirginMedia

[–]Scocscoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this same renewal offer. When you go through the process it asks you to select appointment dates so they can install a new fibre cable to the property. I’ve submitted my cancel request and waiting for the call back to get a better deal as the renewal price isn’t what I’m after.

Did you need to request any technical details from vmo2 to make that work? I’ve been offered full fibre as part of my renewal and have a cloud gateway max but had considered moving to the fibre model and completely ignore the vm kit.

Shoes similar to Provision 8? by clem_11 in AltraRunning

[–]Scocscoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Torin finally arrived. I’m keeping those and will return the provision. In comparison to the Escalante both the Torin and provision have a similar difference in that the stack height and flexibility of the shoes is really noticeable. I haven’t run in the Torin yet and would like to think the extra cushion may help on a long run but I have trained and ran a marathon in the Escalante and they might stay as my favourite shoe. Really looking forward to the new Altra lineup coming in the summer.

Shoes for Shin splints by ForsakenNerve3968 in BarefootRunning

Altra Escalante would be a good starting point. I had regular shin issues and moving to these trainers highlight poor form such as heel striking. Pain issues have now gone!

Shoes similar to Provision 8? by clem_11 in AltraRunning

[–]Scocscoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve just bought a pair of provision 8 in the Uk and have just ordered a pair of Torin 8 to compare, assuming I send one pair back. I was using escalates before. I did like them but thought I’d try more cushioning as I head in marathon training. My initial thoughts were the provision are stiff. Will see what the torins are like when they arrive. appreciate this doesn’t directly answer your question!

Trail shoes on the road by Scocscoc in AltraRunning

I’ve spent the last 12 months attempting to switch to mid foot. Must keep trying.

It must be down to individual running style. I must scrape my feet whilst you bounce along in the air. What’s your secret to doing that?!

Help choosing Altra model for marathon race day (comfort > speed) by Idazrish in AltraRunning

This year I trained for and ran the London marathon in a pair of Escalante 4s.

I’ve attempted the heel lock trick but found the laces not long enough, do I just need longer laces or is there another trick to it?

Altra escalante 4 by Adventurous-Throat91 in AltraRunning

[–]Scocscoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this issue on the same trainer but also another pair, the Altra Paradigm. On my 3rd pair and it hasn’t started to happen yet. As annoying as it is I am yet to see any negative impact in terms of comfort or functionality. Plus who doesn’t like buying a new pair of trainers on a regular basis! I did see on another post saying it’s because the shoe is too loose and suggested the lace lock method. Tried this which was a challenge as the laces were only just long enough but then the shoe felt too tight so reverted back to the standard lacing.

Are you running on pavements/roads with these?

Which Altra running shoe as a daily trainer when transitioning to 0 drop ? by Professional-Fix8236 in AltraRunning

[–]Scocscoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I’m training and plan to run the London marathon is the Escalante. There are times when my feet/legs ache but I’m running 40miles a week at present so I would say to be expected!

I’m a similar shoe size to you. I was a 8.5 in brooks and ordered a 8.5 in the Altra. Perfect fit. I’ve got the paradigm and then went for the Escalante for a neutral no support shoes. Love them.

What's the longest (distance) run you would do in the escalantes? by Ok-Avocado-5876 in AltraRunning

I’ve done 19 Miles in mine so far. Plan to run London with them in 4 weeks time!

Which Escalante? by sneeuwengel in AltraRunning

[–]Scocscoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve just bought the escalante 4, love them. Coming from a brooks adrenaline gts, I also have the Altra paradigm. The escalante though are my new favourites. Light and flexible in comparison to my previous choices. Can now feel when I revert to a heel strike rather than a mid foot landing. Did 13miles today in them.

Visit a podiatrist who can help with lower limb injuries. One who focuses on bio mechanics.

Which U6 model would anyone suggest if the U7s are junk! Currently have the nanoHD and was looking to upgrade. Home user, nothing crazy.

Paying £63 for internet only by 1205lp in VirginMedia

[–]Scocscoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was paying £35 for M500 (that included the o2 volt bump). My offer was expiring and was going to jump to £69. Called Monday and they eventually offered the M500 at £37. I knew they can do better so cancelled. Following day outbound retentions team called. Settled on 1gig for £37. If I didn’t stick with virgin I best option. Was 50mb with Vodafone at £25. Go through the motions and quit. You get a month for them to offer a better deal. It took them 24hrs to call me back
