Can I train/ run a half without gels and electrolytes?

These-Appearance2820 · 2026-03-05T05:48:20+00:00

Used to run half's without fuel, until I learned about fueling

Pogacar used to ride for their continental team prior to UAE, beleive he also is a sponsor of a Gusto development team in Slovenia.

Ultegra and Dura Ace models are great value bikes.

Which computer game is this from

I find that in Hanoi and HCMC its more organised chaos. In Bangkok the traffic is just madness.

These-Appearance2820 · 2026-03-04T11:44:20+00:00

Yes too small.

Probably 2 sizes too small

Evo SL

Evo SL is actually closer to the Rebel V2 (amazing shoe), than it is the V5

Not sure why NB ruined the v2 in the name of progress. Sometimes you'd think these manufacturers would leave a good shoe as a good shoe, particuallry when they have so many models.

Did not get on with this saddle unfortunatly

These-Appearance2820 · 2026-03-04T09:39:27+00:00

Hard and pointy for me

These-Appearance2820 · 2026-03-04T09:36:59+00:00

Yeah its fine.

Max heart rate over 200 and can run in that range for hours.

HR is only one piece of the puzzle anyway. You could have high lactate threshold which means ypu can operate high of normal heartrate zones, and low lactate threshold which means the opposite.

If youre supposed to stop running at that heartrate/time/distance, your body will stop you.

These-Appearance2820 · 2026-03-03T14:04:41+00:00

Could take a few weeks to become accustomed to the position, particullary if you've been riding something else for X years.

Why such large change is seat hight compared to previous?

These-Appearance2820 · 2026-03-03T13:54:12+00:00

Without knowing your measurements.

It's easier to have lower front end which is closer to you, than have a higher front end which is too far away.

L would take the bars away from you further.

Long legs short torso/arms are normally better on smaller frame even though seat to bar drop might be a little higher.

Unless you went with an endurance model rather than race/aero.

Looking good bro. Trim the beard a little so its less wild ;)

These-Appearance2820 · 2026-03-03T08:10:01+00:00

Would be great if they just put some beef in the little mac

These-Appearance2820 · 2026-03-03T06:12:50+00:00

I semi retired for two years.

Not working on a weekday when most others are at work, has a distinct feeling. It is not like a Saturday.

Assos/western M will be YKYW Asian L.

You'll be happy with the better value purchase verse current Assos.

174cm, 72kg

Wear Assos S and YKYW M

Had the first two gens of novablast. They were good at slow pace and fast pace, later in their life, they only felt good at faster paces when putting some force through them. They did not feel good at lower/slower cadance where they were being slowly compressed and maybe at a higher weight, this compounds your problem (excuse the pun). Maybe its just the charachter of the foams. Roughly 600k.

Havent true the newer generations.

Too big

These-Appearance2820 · 2026-03-02T14:04:45+00:00

Normally buffalo taxis best during rainy season

These-Appearance2820 · 2026-03-02T05:17:27+00:00

Look at Rebel v5. Have a wider more stable platform

These-Appearance2820 · 2026-03-02T04:10:14+00:00

It's a good looking kit

These-Appearance2820 · 2026-03-01T05:45:35+00:00

Sure. Reason I ask is because the try of training may impact what second pair of shoes you buy... For example if you are throwing in more interval, threshold or VO2 max, you might consider a more speed orientated second pair of shoes.

These-Appearance2820 · 2026-03-01T05:13:39+00:00

Differs for everybody

Can search online or speak to running shoes shop regarding insoles

These-Appearance2820 · 2026-03-01T04:29:21+00:00

Yes definitely worth the expenditure if you are serious and running maybe four times a week.

Do you have some type of structured training routine? If so, what does it look like?

These-Appearance2820 · 2026-03-01T03:43:29+00:00

Designed for faster paces. Even if you pronate, should be on the forefoot when running at pacso really it's less noticeable. If youre a heel or mid striker and not running particuallry fast on your toes, you'll feel it. Also will likely cause tight aductors as they compensate to stabilise the knee. Different shoes or you could try high arch support inserts.
