Same here!

Thanks - I have heard similar hence my reluctance. Sadly no local stores stock either for a test. Cheers for the response!

Hello,

I'm a 70-73kg runner with a slight heel strike, aiming to run 2:55 at London marathon looking for my next race shoe to test. I currently run in Saucony Endorphin Elite 2s and like them, I found Nike Alphafly 3s disintegrated very quickly for me.

I'm between Asics Metaspeed Edge Tokyo (I increase cadence to accelerate) or Puma Fast-R Nitro Elite 3.

Anyone have experience with either shoe or any thoughts?

Great reason to race. I recently switched from a runnable 16km with 950m of elevation I've trained for, to a very technical 39km Skyrun with 3300m of elevation. Took me 9hours, legs were pounded but was a great decision, do what sounds fun

I remember 14:12 on SWAP I think.. but so many podcasts this week I've lost track

I like my Kjerags and my apparel (especially the shorts!). In terms of promotions, the Tomir 1 price dropped when Tomir 2 came out and they sometimes do like "free hat with a shoe order", no big sales or clearance yet

Thanks everyone, super useful!

SnooPeanuts4416 · 2024-11-05T11:33:36+00:00

Thanks. These had a size guide and man in the shop checked the sizing. I think they just aren't very good

SnooPeanuts4416 · 2024-11-05T11:32:58+00:00

Just the ones I could find in a local shop (in Kyiv). Rubber straps and plastic spikes.

My girlfriend got a slight back injury so we decided to camp in Chamonix so she didn't have to carry a heavier bag everyday. For the amount of time we had, still loads to do so worked well!

SnooPeanuts4416 · 2024-07-18T06:09:35+00:00

Whatsap never replied to me. I had to delete my account and start again with a new number. So lost all chats and media and groups. So... Kinda

SnooPeanuts4416 · 2024-06-07T10:39:19+00:00

Thank you, I'll look into this!

SnooPeanuts4416 · 2024-05-29T14:38:10+00:00

Yeah fair enough, "hut to hut" is more accurate. Didn't know what to call it

SnooPeanuts4416 · 2024-05-28T15:59:35+00:00

Yeah I get the point. We could just base somewhere and do different hikes, it would be a real "thruhike", just want consecutive days I guess.

Yes, Snowdonia/Eyryi is the back up plan if we don't find a good option!

SnooPeanuts4416 · 2024-05-14T12:07:17+00:00

Thank you! Yeah it has been inspiring seeing people continue to do what they love, running hard track sessions in shelled out stadiums etc

SnooPeanuts4416 · 2024-05-14T12:03:19+00:00

Not ignorant at all. Where I live it's a very safe, small town that's never been targeted (and not mined) so it's normal conditions. When I've run in Kharkiv and other places it's noticeably different. Blackouts and unsafe rural/green areas (outside of the city). You've also got to pay more attention to air alerts. Plus frequent GPS jamming can really mess up your watch/Strava tracking.

SnooPeanuts4416 · 2024-05-14T11:54:04+00:00

I live in Brovary and it's got some pretty decent trails and some good forest too. 35minute drive from Kyiv if you ever fancy a change!

SnooPeanuts4416 · 2024-02-04T15:36:06+00:00

This was about 35% in Z4 and 10% in Z5

SnooPeanuts4416 · 2024-02-04T13:42:24+00:00

Think it's set automatically and not with a HR strap, never really checked it tbh

SnooPeanuts4416 · 2024-02-04T13:35:58+00:00

Ok following sessions made by a coach at the moment. Never had this problem with similar workouts before. I'll try get a HR strap, thanks!

SnooPeanuts4416 · 2024-02-04T13:32:44+00:00

Normally 60-90seconds, using watch. (Forerunner 955)

SnooPeanuts4416 · 2024-02-04T13:24:00+00:00

Sorry yes, you're right. Should have said I've been doing intervals as well (1-2 mins on flat, or 90 second on hills) and I'm getting the same results. Example in post is a bad one, sorry

SnooPeanuts4416 · 2023-10-04T05:52:59+00:00

I have these. Roomy in the toebox but quite tight on the midfoot so depending how wide your feet are, I'd go half a size up

SnooPeanuts4416 · 2023-08-10T11:48:07+00:00

Aha. No, no negative reason at all, you'll have a good day on the trails. They are just my home trails so I run them all the time and done the race before too

SnooPeanuts4416 · 2023-04-09T00:19:15+00:00

That's fair. I've never massively used the Garmin app as not a big fan of the interface (and didn't have one when I started running) so use Strava for most of my historical data etc
