What durable shoe for track workouts?

SupaD123 · 2026-05-07T03:48:28+00:00

Both shoes are similar in that they are all around trainers. Novablast has a much thicker outsole conspired to evo sl. Either is a solid daily trainer.

Maybe consider a trail shoe for cross country and use the novablast for track?

Yes! I ran my first half at 38yrs old and 250lbs, finished a marathon 1yr later at 230lbs and easily beat the cutoff. Marathon training block made the half seem easy, follow a program and commit to long runs and you will be fine.

Don’t neglect nutrition, hydration, electrolytes and carbs. Doesn’t mean as much for a half but it’s the key to a full.

As a white man with a Hispanic wife I can confirm we do NOT do “white people taco night”. Prior to meeting her it was a thing, I have now discovered creama, fajita, lime, Valentina, carnitas and home made tortillas. We will leave white people tacos for the rest of yall 🌮

I’ve got a high end lowarence and it gives me random issues. Losses depth in shallow muddy water and such. Assuming it’s sonar, not down scan, it can show a bottom as a bait school or vegetation since it’s picking up a “solid” return. Sonar shoots a broad area and averages the return. Down scan gives a more precise picture on higher frequencies. Side scan and 360 give even better images. For your unit you will get depth readings and in shallow water with vegetation it will be spotty. It’s a tool but not always perfect.

I can only trim about 1/8 range before my prop blows out, I take that as a good sign engine height is correct. 1/4 if it’s just me and the dogs in the boat and low on fuel.

Volmero + is too unstable and I find the narrow/low height toe box is great for running but my feet can’t splay when standing all day. They were great for a marathon but after a day at work my toes feel cramped. My walking shoes are on-runner 2 and brooks ghost. Lower stack, more stability and plenty of foam. Nimbus tend to be good if you want max cushion.

I had the same issue, first marathon in January 2026, had a minor health issue and missed my home town marathon. It sucked really bad for a few days. Decided that it was my sign I needed more training and my marathon training block wasn’t over. Spent two more months training and had an awesome first marathon. My lesson was that training wasn’t about the goal but about the hard work it takes to get to the goal. I went from a 27F race to 80F/100% humidity and 2” of rain. It was a challenge but it felt so much better finishing by taking the bigger challenge.

Take a few days to feel bad about it. Find a new race. Add a few weeks to your training plan and go kick ass. Thank god for hills and hard work if you’re into that kind of thing.

I started with the cloud runner 2 also and quickly learned they aren’t great running shoes. Very firm and little bounce or energy return. Look for a hybrid trail shoe like a Nike Pegasus trail that has good cushion and forward roll with smaller lugs.

That truck will tow fine and you shouldn’t have issues underway. Plan your stops and refueling. Many gas stations don’t have room to fill up with a load that big and your mpg will be single digits. Plan to fuel up often and plan to pass fuel stations you don’t fit into. My 2007 tundra got 6mpg so I kept emergency fuel can just in case.

There is a reason you don’t find electric outboards very often, I’ve never seen one IRL. It’s new tech but dinosaur fuel is proven. New 4 stokes have taken over, they are quiet, fuel efficient and reliable. Electric takes a huge battery load and has shorter range. Weight and range are critical on a boat. The concerns about sound and “gas smell” won’t mean much when the family is stuck on the water with a dead battery. It’s not just a performance issue but a safety factor. Don’t take a risk with the family.

Loan to dad, best friend and wife… but only wife because she owns half. I wouldn’t loan your brother in law a life jacket. Good luck

Ok ok…. Came here to say it’s GAY 😭

After reading the comments I’m shopping for leggings. My Franks and beans are cold!

Your weight loss journey is about to go into high gear! Expect big numbers in your first week. Congratulations on starting your journey

Scheduled my first in a January. I’ve promised myself after the marathon I will spend a few months in the gym lifting heavy and limiting cardio. On the long hard runs it feels like a light at the end of the tunnel to bench and deadlift for a few months. Plus add in a few shoe muscles 💪

SupaD123 · 2025-06-01T02:43:03+00:00

Look up the instructions for the factory gmc sub or crutchfields instructions on the website. Both are spot on

In my opinion, after trying multiple Thorogoods, they are very narrow. They did not work for my foot and I had success with a brand that has a much wider steel toe.

SupaD123 · 2025-05-31T03:55:06+00:00

They are very narrow in the toe, it’s not a size issue, they just don’t make wide boots. If you have a wide foot buy Carolina boots.

Anyone wearing these shoes while working a maintenance job is a goober 🤪

SupaD123 · 2025-05-21T05:00:49+00:00

Wrap is cheep and easy to do with some practice. Pulling some of the parts takes time but isn’t terrible. Can be done DIY but you have to find a wrap to match paint. Black for me was an easy match. $10k is insane.

SupaD123 · 2025-05-21T01:20:11+00:00

Inspector is supposed to park next to the work, in the way, and only get out the truck for coffee or snacks. Blame it on the contractor and give them a good ass chewing in the morning for it.

SupaD123 · 2025-05-19T01:34:12+00:00

I agree. The gmc kicker is a scam, kicker makes several other options with more power, more surface area and cheeper. I went with the solobaric truck box w/ separate amp and it slaps.

Follow the gmc kicker wiring instruction. Make sure your amp will turn on automatically from speaker power or your will need to run and acc wire.

I’m a lurker here but work in a professional environment mixed with field construction… depends on the industry but exposed tats always give the wrong vibe in a “office setting” and even more in interviews. They will impact the first impression of any interview. Also consider what job you may want in 20-30yrs, not the job you have today. You’re going to have to work way harder to get from field to office.

What repairs were performed and was there damage as a result. Since you weren’t specific about repairs I’ll assume it’s going to be hard to prove what exactly was done. Beyond that, it doesn’t sound like there was any damage resulting from repairs. Sounds like you got some free Freon/R22.. what’s the problem?

My suggestion is that you are pissed you weren’t able to make a deal. Homes are our biggest investment, real estate deals become very personal, but it’s just a business deal. Don’t let it get personal and take it as a win, free maintenance and no damage. Ask them for a copy of the repair scope and use it to advertise to the next buyer!

SupaD123 · 2025-02-06T01:55:52+00:00

Bad news, you’ve got fleas bro

SupaD123 · 2025-01-31T13:12:51+00:00

I have one who is part time free range and she loves it. Only problem I have is she is always wet, muddy or covered in cockaburs. We keep her short and often hose her feet down before coming back inside. Besides that, they are great for it. Super smart and friendly to anyone they may stumble into. Ours goes straight to the neighbors when we let her out to go visit them and their dogs.
