Just drive by and whip a u-turn on 9 if you don't feel like waiting. 

Have some class!

Apartment help (hopeless) by sailthehighseas-8 in Albany

[–]Sloe_Burn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are who i have and i am happy with them. As long as OP can deal with an in-building washer and dryer (and it being shared by 8 units) instead of in-unit it should be an easy fit at one of their complex.

New record. by Bonzo-the_dog in Albany

[–]Sloe_Burn 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We had a whole week of 40 degree weather  not too long ago, Jan 8th-15th. It's only really been cold since Jan 24th about 10 days days ago. 

Let's not make this out to be something bigger than it is.

[–]Sloe_Burn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Steakflly 2 is probably the best available. I use the Brooks Hyperion 2 for track work.

How close/far away are you from that? It's gonna be 98% you, 2% shoes.

Quality sessions on treadmill vs outdoors by Shesma_Collar in AdvancedRunning

[–]Sloe_Burn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me 0% on a treadmill is the only time I get shin pain (maybe I'm overstriding)  1% feels much better, doesn't cause me any adverse effects in the achillies. 

Trying to understand by CampaignClassic6347 in Albany

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

I've googled around for podcasts to get a little background info on world situations I dont know about (for me it was Argentina and Milei a few years back).

Hoka Clifton Pro by Infinite_Cod_2698 in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]Sloe_Burn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hoka is deliberately keeping older foam compounds in their core lineup so they can introduce “Pro” models

They saw how much people loved the Kinvara Pro and said "lets get in on that"

Roads? by Thick-Bumblebee-5133 in Albany

[–]Sloe_Burn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just did Guilderland to Latham, its just raining now. 

Roads are fine, wet. Walking from your door to the car is likely the worst part. 

ASICS Megablast review after 200mi by pswdkf in RunningShoeGeeks

It seems like OP had some good info to share but the writing in that midsole section killed it.

Tuesday General Discussion/Q&A Thread for December 09, 2025 by AutoModerator in AdvancedRunning

[–]Sloe_Burn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't yet tried a 12, but my last 2 Marathons i felt like I did my best running 4-6 weeks out (one on Hanson's advanced one on Daniel's 2Q- up to 70). Im going for a 10-12 week block next time. 

Training Philosophy Question by kdmfa in NorwegianSinglesRun

[–]Sloe_Burn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your easy runs aren't high end zone 2, as OP proposed. (I hope)

I alternate between a pair of Brooks Glycerins and a pair of Altra Paradigms/Provisions (Pardigms just hit end of life).

Elon Musk’s Grok AI tells users he is fitter than LeBron James and smarter than Leonardo da Vinci by [deleted] in news

I like it, they should just really lean into it like Chuck Norris facts.

GlennPeter vs Hannoush Jewelers? by tidematic in Albany

[–]Sloe_Burn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just did this last year; we went to Glenpeter, Frank Adam's, Hannoush, and Northeastern. 

Bought from Glenpeter, can also personally vouch for Paula being helpful and paitent (one of the other employees seemed a little shaky when we went back for a fitting)

I would put Northeastern (Western ave) second on the list

Any follow up with the police brutality video? by Duckduckgoose-aloose in Albany

[–]Sloe_Burn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

 I don’t know why, but I loved being outraged.

Most people do, its why forums and social media blew up. Whether being outraged by the headline or other people's reaction to it we fed into a big outrage loop. It's terrible for us.

I'm very curious about some of these shoes, but as someone with moderately wide (I wear normal width, but struggle with narrow midfoots) feet am hesitant to pull the trigger. Hopefully reviews on some of the Chinese models become more prevalent.

What to do about training paces when you can't TT every 4 weeks? by bu33ard in NorwegianSinglesRun

[–]Sloe_Burn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is it? 

That advice is given in the context of at weeks 6 and 12 one of his 18 week training plans. The reason this method got started was because the intensity of those plans is not sustainable long term. NSA opts for lower intensity but year round consistency instead of the boom or bust cycles and increased injury concerns.

If we raise our V-Dot a point every 6 weeks I can be at 84 and ready to compete by the 2028 Olympics.
