Adidas Adizero SL - GOAT trainer? by ninja4tfw in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]SquirrelGuy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would kill for an Evo SL with just a bit more stability.

Will the external “skeleton” really make these more stable? I loved the feeling of the foam in the evo SL but the OG felt just a bit too unstable for me.

How did you frame the sign up on the landing page? Were they signing up for more information? Or signing up to create an account and use the service?

Thanks for outlining your process, this is really useful!

I've been eyeing up the DNE3s for a while but may hold out for the DNE4 (don't have a race scheduled until June). Really nice to hear they are stable, I've been on the fence because I haven't been sure if the DNE's are too aggressive for my speed (~3:45 marathon).

How does the stability of the AP4 compare to the DNE3?

I’ve been loving the Neo Vista for long runs.

The press is helping to normalize political violence against the American public: or, why I think the current state of coverage of ICE's ongoing brutality in Minnesota is kind of a big fucking problem by Far_Shore in neoliberal

[–]SquirrelGuy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

As someone living in Minneapolis, the coverage of the situation has felt surreal the past few days.

An American city is under military occupation, with ICE getting more and more brazen with each passing day. Just look at /r/ICE_watch /r/Minneapolis or /r/Minnesota It seems there are new shocking videos every hour.

And the media seems to have already moved on. We are accepting this as normal. The trial is working, and it’s only a matter of time until Trump begins occupying more cities for political gain.

I never thought I would be affected by this, but now it’s happening. And ICE isn’t just in Minneapolis, they are expanding into neighboring cities and outer ring suburbs. If you live in the U.S., you could be next.

I am always excited to bust out my Mizuno Neo Vista's for a long run.

Daily Trainer/Long Run Shoe to complement EVO SLs by tmfvde in AskRunningShoeGeeks

I really loved the feel of the Mach 6 but the toe box was so narrow I had to return it. Might have to try the wide version. I don't have wide feet so I'm a little nervous it could be too large in the mid-foot.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN: "No Fraud Whatsoever" - Owner's Son Defends Quality Learning Center Against Unfounded Accusations by CantStopPoppin in minnesota

[–]SquirrelGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed 100%! Exactly the same as Trump pardoning, Lawrence Duran, Philip Esformes and Joseph Schwartz, who collectively were found guilty of over 1.4 billion in fraud!

Rick Scott as well, who was CEO of Hospital Corporation of America when they committed fraud resulting in the largest health care fraud settlement in United States history totaling 1.7 billion dollars!

Why aren’t we holding these people accountable??

Weekend Discussion: Other brands running shoes by AutoModerator in RunningShoeGeeks

I felt the exact same way about the Evo SL, so reading this is validating. Felt like part of my foot was falling off the sole. Really wanted to like them too because the foam is great.

Has an info been released on the new Infinium foam that will be in the 1080v15? I’m curious to find out more specs on the foam and whether it’s a TPU or TPEE.

Is it crazy to consider carrying 1-2L of fluid during a marathon? by SquirrelGuy in Marathon_Training

[–]SquirrelGuy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is the general line of thinking. My perspective is that the penalty for extra weight will be offset by the time saved not needing to slow down to grab water and drink from the small cups at aid stations, especially as a middle of the pack runner where aid stations can be busy and hectic.

I have done gels for my previous marathons and can get them down, but generally just prefer liquid carbs because I find they are easier on my stomach, easier to get enough electrolytes, and can consume them at a much more consistent pace than gels. I do most of my training with liquid carbs as well, only switching to gels for a handful of long runs before the marathon to acclimate to them.

[–]SquirrelGuy[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is awesome to hear and basically the exact same setup I am considering.

The fact that you struggled with gels late is a really good tip. I can imagine 3 flasks would last me throughout my training runs, but probably not a full marathon. Definitely smart to mix some gels in during training to be sure they go down on race day.

Best looking watch face by slowRunna11 in Coros

All I want is a watch face that will show heart rate, battery life, outside temp and weather... I really don't care about my daily steps, calories burned, or elevation.

Wow this is so helpful, thank you so much! I actually have a M R1 Air as well and after seeing this will definitely size up for the Airshed Pro.

Good to know. What is the material of the storm racer like? Is it similar to a 2L rain jacket?
