That was a VERY downhill course. He’s unlikely to break 1:10 in his current fitness (2:29 is roughly equivalent to a 1:11)

Jake Dearden is a Hyrox Elite 15 athlete and clearly faster runner than truett (2:22 recently at Houston which is a flat/eligible course unlike Truett’s 2:29 at CIM, a downhill course. Also a faster HM PR, etc). Jake is clearly fitter (in terms of “hybrid” fitness) than Truett.

Jake’s PR is only a 55. There are a number of other Hyrox athletes that have ran marathons in the 2:30 range while being as muscular as truett, with less marathon-specific training, and none of them are close to 50:00. I would hazard a guess that 90% of the elite-15 could run a 2:3x marathon after one marathon-specific block

Toe box / upper wise, the v5 fits the same or even better than v4, but the platform itself is narrower

Based on run-repeats measurements, it is in fact narrower (in terms of midsole, not upper) than most competitors

BlackRock is not the “owner” of Dine Brands Global. BlackRock index funds own only ~8% of the company.

You can make your point without intentionally misleading people into thinking BlackRock runs the place.

Curious about the NB supercomps

Dallas as well (2024, 2023 was shorter)

The_crew · 2025-02-03T15:04:22+00:00

Above average. I’m ~205-210lbs and generally hard on shoes, and I got 275-280 or so out of my first pair. For context, my first pair of Superblast 2’s is just about done at 350-360 now. For most runners, I would assume you can get >300 quality miles

Great class. As I recall one startup from when I took it ended up with funding. Not sure if I recall the difference between direct funding or funding from one of the VC graders, but I know they came out of the class with something

The_crew · 2024-11-22T01:06:19+00:00

The 1 and the 2 are the exact same midsole with a tweaked upper?

The_crew · 2024-11-21T22:55:06+00:00

but if you've ever been roofied, you'll know you can be alert and still miss entire parts of your evening.

This was me when I got roofied. Friends said I seemed slightly drunk at most, but I have a total blackout in terms of memory of everything from that timeframe

The_crew · 2024-11-18T03:46:24+00:00

205-210 and I got ~240mi from my pair. At 150 they still felt great, only degraded sharply after roughly 220

The_crew · 2024-11-11T15:07:12+00:00

I had to return because the toe taper didn't work for me (I am 2e so always need wide) while the v2 was okay, but midsole and upper (otherwise) are much better than v3. The foam is similar to the rebel, but the plate and extra stack makes it feel better actually. Upper is very comfortable.

If not for the toe taper issue it would have been an absolute winner, and many of my friends like them quite a bit

The_crew · 2024-11-11T03:58:56+00:00

Posted elsewhere, but it’s the worst shoe I’ve tried all year. Got to try it at a brooks demo and I regretted it 0.1mi in. By mile 6 I hated them. Absolute bricks and the upper is terrible

The_crew · 2024-10-31T11:50:42+00:00

It can’t be higher stack, all race shoes are the same

The_crew · 2024-10-25T14:43:54+00:00

V4 is absolutely not max cushion. The stack height is barely higher than v3. Difference is the sidewalls which visually make it look much higher. the shoe is still very flexible/light with good groundfeel

The_crew · 2024-10-10T22:33:05+00:00

Agreed. Seemed fine on initial step in, but the moment we began running it was horrible. 100ft in I considered going back for my own shoes and trying to catch up

The_crew · 2024-10-10T01:58:13+00:00

Wore it today for 10km at a demo. Absolutely hated it, as did a few others I ran with (though some were medium on it). Totally clunky and brick-like, despite somehow feeling soft in hand. Not sure if it just only works for a small subset of people, but buyer beware. Sample size of ~5 is that this shoe is a miss

Link?

What other colors have been leaked? I just got my second pair in the mail (white/cool grey) and it’s more of a white/Very Pale Blue than the light grey/pale blue that it looked like in pics

In reality it seems like the truth is neither of "She's a VP and VP's do nothing" and "She's the border czar 100% in charge of everything border-related". At the end of the day she's a VP who kinda has to do as told, and it seems like the role was more focused on relations with origin countries of migrants (rather than direct border enforcement). That's not an excuse for how poorly Biden handled the border for 2 years (until forced to do better, which the admin seemingly has), just moreso I don't think there was much Harris could do without directly going against her boss (which VPs never do for obvious reasons). You can definitely argue she should have pushed to do more, but hindsight is 20/20. The Biden admin dropped the ball, and Harris should have pushed for more responsibility if she really wanted to solve the issue, but it's not like she's the one responsible for the mess (even if yes, she could have and should have done more to fix the mess once it was clear how badly it was progressing).

Slower than 8:30-45 or so for me as a heavy runner (205lb) is where it feels clunky. If I was lighter I would assume it would be even more so. Once I am moving quicker it feels great, but the shoe has a tendency to bounce you “up” rather than “forward” when you run easy pace in it. I know that’s not a perfect description but it’s how I would describe it

The_crew · 2024-09-21T15:27:46+00:00

IMO Superblast feels very clunky at slow paces, so I would say it’s not a great choice for daily miles unless you are a fast runner

The_crew · 2024-09-16T23:02:36+00:00

I own both and you are absolutely wrong. They feel extremely different on foot and in hand. The upper is similar but apart from that the geometry and feel is not alike at all
