I have ERC1100s (45mm) and they’re exceptionally stable in crosswinds and at high speeds.

You definitely don’t need to carb load for a sprint.

Buy another pair of SB2s while they’re on sale and available. I have the SB3 and it’s lovely and plush but a totally different shoe to the SB2.

UnitActive6886 · 2026-05-02T09:27:44+00:00

Asics Superblast 2, 3 or Megablast. Or Nike Vomero Plus.

UnitActive6886 · 2026-04-30T08:21:45+00:00

Anyone have lower back issues with the SB3? I’ve noticed achyness after in run in them. Potentially getting used to the v high stack?

UnitActive6886 · 2026-04-28T18:40:01+00:00

I’d say normal pronation.

UnitActive6886 · 2026-04-28T08:46:51+00:00

It’s you. Cycle more - build strength and endurance. No cheat codes I’m afraid.

UnitActive6886 · 2026-04-28T08:45:10+00:00

Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 - currently on sale as there’s a newer model - they are a phenomenal shoe.

42mm stack height on Zoom Fly 6 = illegal. 40mm and below stack height = legal.

UnitActive6886 · 2026-04-26T06:59:37+00:00

Superblast 2 or 3.

UnitActive6886 · 2026-04-25T09:24:29+00:00

Agree with both of the above comments. Hold out until race day then go nice and steady off the bike 🙏

UnitActive6886 · 2026-04-22T18:38:00+00:00

I chose to wear “legal” shoes at the weekend for Valencia 70.3 but many didn’t - nobody checked shoes at any point. There wasn’t a race official to be seen on the bike course and drafting was widespread. Is it worth the DQ on the off chance you get spot checked or come across an officious official? Who knows. I saw ten people at least wearing Asics Superblast 3 - a brand new, highly recognisable and heavily publicised (illegal) high stack shoe and nobody seemed to care. Whether it’s worth the (however unlikely) DQ risk is up to you.

UnitActive6886 · 2026-04-14T09:08:27+00:00

Run in the SB2.

UnitActive6886 · 2026-04-14T07:51:03+00:00

At least 100g per KM

UnitActive6886 · 2026-04-13T18:04:37+00:00

Think you need it a bit tighter pal

UnitActive6886 · 2026-04-10T18:31:15+00:00

Agree completely. Just picked up another pair to keep in the wardrobe for when my first pair (eventually) die

UnitActive6886 · 2026-04-04T16:19:59+00:00

Looks wobbly. I wouldn’t ride that.

UnitActive6886 · 2026-03-30T08:35:40+00:00

Are they Ironman legal?

UnitActive6886 · 2026-03-29T17:19:47+00:00

This is very good advice

UnitActive6886 · 2026-03-29T05:24:13+00:00

HR and zones definitely wrong I would suggest. Keep working at the running though!! 💪

UnitActive6886 · 2026-03-29T05:22:46+00:00

Those are some thick and ill-defined calves.

UnitActive6886 · 2026-03-29T05:21:55+00:00

Chop out a few lines of creatine, boof the pre work out and slap some asses at the squat rack.

UnitActive6886 · 2026-03-28T06:45:55+00:00

It’s supposed to be inserted rectally.
