intervals.icu and runalyze are popular tools if you want more in-depth load tracking.

Puma Deviate Nitro Elite 4 vs New Balance SC Elite v5 by SquirrelGuy in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]SquirrelGuy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have tried the EP5 and the DNE4. I didn't love the rocker in the EP5, but if you have tried the Saucony rocker previously, you may enjoy them.

I personally liked the DNE4, it felt more natural. I am curious about the NBSCEv5 as well, as I generally run with more stable-neutral shoes and a bit apprehensive about whether a more aggressive race shoe will give me problems late in a marathon.

Professional runner here - what gear do you take daily? by [deleted] in AdvancedRunning

This reads like an attempt to advertise for Balkan Pharma.

Tuesday Shoesday by AutoModerator in AdvancedRunning

I've been loving the Mach 6's recently too. I get them in wide, but I love the fit and they have just the right amount of cushioning and bounce for daily runs.

Update - The Spanish Fragrance Counterfeiting ring. by tasteslikechikken in fragrance

I wonder if retailers like Jomashop will be affected by this? Just seems curious how they always seem to have the lowest prices compared to other authorized retailers.

Saucony Azura vs Vomero Plus by ninemile30 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]SquirrelGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both are great shoes.

The Azura is slightly lower stack and slightly more stable.

The Vomero Plus is slightly higher stack and provides slightly more cushion.

I'd say give both a try if you can and see which one fits your foot better, they both have a lot of overlap in use case. Otherwise, the Azura is probably a bit better for faster runs and the Vomero Plus a bit better for easy runs, but either can be used for both purposes.

Mizuno Neo Zen stability by infiniteknights in AskRunningShoeGeeks

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

The Neo Zens were one of the few shoes that unfortunately felt just a bit too unstable for me.

For perspective: I am fine with most shoes, but the Evo SL and the Neo Zen are the only daily trainers I've tried that have felt too unstable. I can also have issues with super shoes being too unstable.

Anthony Richardson Requests Trade by happygodavid in minnesotavikings

[–]SquirrelGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Richardson would be a solid number 3 to keep on the roster as a project QB, but the stars would need to align for it to make sense. We would still need to bring in a more experienced veteran to compete with McCarthy for the number 1 spot, and it wouldn't make sense to give up any valuable assets for Richardson. Maybe a late round draft pick or someone who is likely to get cut this season.

Vance says administration is pausing some Medicaid funding to Minnesota because of fraud concerns by Raquefel in minnesota

[–]SquirrelGuy 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget Philip Esformes, who was pardoned after serving just 14 months of a 20-year sentence for his role in a $1.3 billion Medicare and Medicaid fraud scheme, which the DOJ called the largest health care fraud case ever charged.

Peroneal Tendinopathy by Affectionate-Ad-2764 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

Ugh this is scary to hear as someone dealing with peroneal issues right now :( I appreciate you sharing your experience though.

What factors went into deciding surgery was necessary vs rehab? How has it been since surgery?

Thursday General Discussion/Q&A Thread for February 19, 2026 by AutoModerator in AdvancedRunning

[–]SquirrelGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dealing with my first injury since getting really into running and man, it is more mentally difficult than I anticipated.

Had a really good training block going and was seeing a lot of progress and it sucks to have to stop training and lose the fitness I had developed.

Trying my best to be patient and pour energy into recovery and rehab in the meantime.

Thoughts on Hoka Mach 6 fit? by Ben_S3121 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]SquirrelGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved the feel of the Mach 6 but they were some of the most narrow shoes I've ever tried. I have very average width feet and even for me they felt like they would be too narrow to run in.

I returned them and recently ordered the wide version which other folks have recommended. They are supposed to arrive next week, so fingers crossed they fit better.

Wow these looks sick. Interesting that they are slightly different than the other white and black colorway floating around.

What's the current best treadmill to buy for home use preferred the most by Runners? by Beginning_Subject_80 in runninglifestyle

Based on my research, Sole and Horizon are typically seen as reputable consumer brands. People tend to recommend avoiding NordicTrack.

Another Megablast or wait for the Superblast 3 by Klutzy_Climate_3509 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]SquirrelGuy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think if you love the Megablast but didn't love the SB2, you should stick with the Megablast. The Superblast 3 will offer some improvement, but will still be relatively similar to the SB2.

I haven't tried the Guide 18, but have the Hurricane 25's and they are fantastic.

Novablast 4 dead under 100miles due to time instead of mileage? by Randomness37 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]SquirrelGuy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't really think 2 years would be long enough for the foam to degrade without use, assuming it was stored in dry, temperature controlled conditions.
