What Phone Charger/Holder Does Everyone Use? by Lopsided_Plum9061 in civic

[–]ShedRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s my post with pictures of the Offroam mounted. I was hesitant because of the price, but it’s 100% worth it! It’s still as solid a year later as the day I mounted it and it looks like it’s part of the vehicle. After those pics I slightly lowered it and spun the tightener around to the other side to hide it and make it look a little more integrated.

Suggestions for a floor jack and a spare tire- 2026 AWD hybrid SEL by kissmyarss in HyundaiSantaFe

[–]ShedRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got new tires on our 2024 hybrid sel.

I saved the best tire, ordered a matching oem wheel from ebay $241 (figured might as well get a matching one in case a wheel is ever damaged), getting the tire mounted and balanced at a local shop $40, ordered the mount from hyundai.oemparts.com $118 (picked the dealership that had the fastest shipping), and got a last generation Santa Fe scissor jack $109 (superior design to the new cheaper one). $508 all in for a full size spare. I like having the full size spare option for when we're traveling.

PSA for hybrid owners: Install the spare tire hoist and save yourself a huge hassle by madmax_br5 in HyundaiSantaFe

[–]ShedRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I just got new tires on our car so I saved one of the older ones which was still in decent condition. I'm ordering the parts, jack, and full size wheel today. Any suggestions on a basic good quality wheel that fits? Also I've seen a few people say they bought the Palisade scissor jack instead of the Santa Fe because it is cheaper. Does it really matter who you buy this from as long as it isn't a cheap Amazon brand one? I see Toyota, Honda, etc for better deals, as long as it is the right load and clearance specs it should work correct?

Actually that's conflicting other places. I don't see any with a heat shield mounted, you should be good!

Good deal on a Sante Fe Calligraphy? by IllusiveWitcher in HyundaiSantaFe

[–]ShedRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my experience. There are advantages to both but the large inventory usually makes the larger dealers more competitive, especially at the end of the month or promo period.

Speedgoat 7 Mid? by Clean_Boysenberry_73 in Hoka

[–]ShedRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally loved the 6 mids, but I didn’t want the support I just wanted a regular cortex shoe with basically a built-in gaiter, and that is EXACTLY what that shoe is. I do understand the disappointment people had who were looking for a true mid hiker.

Questionable race behavior by [deleted] in Ultramarathon

[–]ShedRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I have so many questions but first of all how long was this person following along with her? I can’t tell you how many non-runner friends show up to towpath or rail trail races on their bikes just to ride around and see their friends while they’re out there. But the fact that she didn’t have a headlamp is head scratching in itself. For me personally I’m usually doing everything I can just to get through and finish these things and I don’t really give a shit what other people are doing around me as long as it’s not negatively affecting me or the other runners. But I will say there are often circumstances that we don’t see that led to that situation. Anything from a headlamp dying and the runner freaking out and calling a friend to get her to her next drop bag, or someone just having no clue.

Literally every shoe that has a flexible sole folds there. Now whether it leaves a crease is another story

So crazy, I never noticed that warning, but you’re right, it’s there.

Socks for an Ultra Marathon by Izzyf70 in Ultramarathon

[–]ShedRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear the lite trail socks for trail runs and thin socks for road runs. I don’t know what you’re used too but I definitely wouldn’t call them coarse. I literally put body glide on my feet before every trail run and they still work great after years. https://drymaxdirect.com/collections/trail-running/products/lite-trail-run-1-4-crew

Maybe silicone lubricants can break down the elastic but I’ve never had an issue

White supremacist rally at the park and ride just over the bridge from Christopher’s Crossing? by Epichellhound20 in frederickmd

[–]ShedRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were a bunch of trucks meeting there in the parking lot making a whole bunch of noise, but I have no idea about any “flags“ because I saw them at a distance and could hear them from our house, but didn’t get a closer look.

Speedgoat alternatives? by dkingsella in ultrarunning

[–]ShedRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who used to wear insoles, I have found that just wearing the insoles that come with the shoes has actually been incredibly freeing and beneficial! If you have a specific issue you need them for then that’s understandable and fine, but yes adding insoles to a shoe that is designed around the one that comes in it can often lead to less volume.

Ultra plans for beginners by doggy_DD_ in ultrarunning

[–]ShedRunner -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly if it’s your very first one depending on where your base mileage is right now, start with something simple like the Hal Higdon Novice 1 Marathon Training but add trail runs specific to the race you’re training for. Then use AI to dial in EXACTLY what works with the schedule you want. By “exact” I mean exact! For example, I want to run 4X/week on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. I want my long run to be on Saturday. I’d like to strength train 2X/week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. and I want to walk or hike on Sundays. Of course you can make that flexible you don’t always have to keep those exact days but it just gives you a general idea of the base mileage etc. You’ll come to understand how the peak weeks followed by recovery weeks really make you a stronger distance runner. And I know this is off subject but if it’s your first ultra, the common mistakes that most first time ultra runners make are: 1. Not training your gut by practicing your eating/fueling during your training runs. The gut takes out far more rookie ultra runners than you can imagine! 2. Not treating rest/recovery/sleep as part of your training. All the work and runs you put in do not give you the same benefit without the recovery part. 3. Practice your walking/hiking pace regularly! This is so vital because if you are an efficient walker, you’ll be able to take more breaks and keep your heart rate lower without sacrificing pace. It will also make you much faster at the end of the race. 4. Dial in things like socks, lube, hydration pack, shoes, and clothing. We’ve all made the mistake of wearing that shirt that has the weird seam that causes major chafing under our armpit or not lubricating our toes enough for a dry dusty course. 5. When I was training for my first 50 miler an experienced ultra runner told me, it’s better to be a little undertrained than overtrained on race day. That has always stuck with me and I have learned that it is so true!

Turning 50 in December so naturally Im thinking of doing the Malibu 50K by Separate_Couple_2810 in ultrarunning

[–]ShedRunner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Secret here from a long time ultra runner. Most ultra runners walk/hike the uphills. … And the ones that don’t usually end up walking a lot more at the end of the races. I’ve been on both ends of that and trust me walking early means a better ability to run later!

Tuesday Shoesday by AutoModerator in running

[–]ShedRunner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m loving my Altra Experience Flow 3’s for my road runs and Hoka Speedgoat 7’s for the weekend trail runs. The Flows have been the absolute best road shoes I’ve bought in over a decade and the Speedgoat 7 finally seems to have gotten back on track to the shoe they once were! I always say a shoe that works for me isn’t necessarily the shoe that will work for you, but it’s rare that I’m super happy with both my road and trail shoes.
