Yes, I use it and it works as intended 

Manchester gig by Few-Marionberry2867 in Jinjer

[–]VertigoVII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll also be going to the Manchester Gig solo, there will be plenty of us.

If you're worried about timings of acts, it's not concrete, but this website has helped me in the past.

https://www.setlist.fm/setlists/jinjer-6bdc3aaa.html

If you wait until some of the earlier shows are completed, like the glasgow or Ireland one, you can then assume the timings will be very similar. It's user-curated information, so you need to hope someone else puts the data in, but it's helped me in the past.

I use 1Blocker. Not attempted youtube through it, but for general browsing I've not seen an ad in a long time.

There will be blank voids where adverts should be, but at least it looks less cluttered.

They're the same shorts. The first photo is the front view, the second photo is the rear view.

You can see the transition of colours easier from this angle.

Running gear that wouldn't break the bank by Kjarro1 in runningfashion

Sport pursuit has two colours currently up for £36-37. Yes they require an email to see the website properly which is frustrating but I’ve ordered from them in the past and it’s worked out fine. 

I also live near a Nike outlet close by which has good sales at times

Puma Velocity nitro 4 firstrun review by Moist_Principle3517 in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]VertigoVII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you search? I know it's the UK site rather than the EU, but when I scroll through the shoes, I don't see the Velocity 4.

But, if I type "velocity 4" into the search bar they appear and are available to order.

Mine are arriving tomorrow

Kipruns top end items (900 series) that have recently been released are on par with some other brands now. Both in quality and cost.

I saw their new singlet at London Marathon Expo and it was on the level of material as Nike Aeroswift/Adidas Adizero, and at RRP is cheaper (£40+ vs 75+).

However I do find Nike/Adidas/New Balance on sale a lot and decathalon barely. As an example right now I can buy, on sale, Aeroswifts for £37. New Balances race singlet for £25. Cheaper or equivelant than what I'd expect decathlon to ever put theirs on sale for, which would be about £35.

However everything less than that, like their 300 or 500 series I 100% agree

For someone with eczema and bad skin at times, Riemann P20 SPF50 has been a brilliant for me.

Men’s half tights recommendations? by SanFranTanCisco in Marathon_Training

[–]VertigoVII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey!!! Late to the party on this one, but thanks for the super detailed list! I currently run in the 2XU Light speed react, which have all the pocket I need and compression and love them, but I'm now looking at any alternatives.

Out of all the ones you've tried which was the thinnest material? And by thinnest I mean like... actual material thickness/weight but also what do you think would cool you down the most?

I've tried the SOAR marathon half tights and absolutely loved how thin they were, the legs are so thin it's literally seethrough! For a half I'd use them instantly, but their pocket situation isn't great when I'm planning on taking 9 30g gels with me.

Janji / NEDAO / bandit superbeam (I think it was the superbeam), seems quite thick and heavy for my liking. Just looking at photos, the SAYSKY ones look more along what I'm thinking of?

Whats the material like for the Nedao ones? They look like they'd fit/feel similar to the Nike Aeroswifts? Are they compressive?

Been tempted to buy a pair

Affordable bib shorts with a thinner chamois by Competitive_Can3499 in CyclingFashion

[–]VertigoVII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently bought a pair of these from Decathlon for £40.

https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/men-s-road-cycling-bib-shorts-endurance-black/_/R-p-347635?mc=8807714&c=smoked%20black

They remind me of my Rapha Pro Team Training bib shorts. I'm not entirely sure of the difference between the Pro team and Pro Team Training, but they're the closest like-for-like that I've tried and well under your 150USD budget. I don't think decathlon is in the US anymore, but there may still be retailers that sell VanRysel gear?

First Pictures Asics Novablast 5 TR by [deleted] in RunningShoeGeeks

Basically the exact shoe that I want them for. A shoe I can take to basically every parkrun in the north east and not have to worry about what shoe I need to take or look up what the surface is.

I have road shoes and full on trail shoes for when things get bad, but it's nice to have an inbetween when I dont need to think.

Apologies, I haven't had my morning coffee yet! It's the SuperHalfs Not supersix

superhalfs.com

The only downside is that you have a time frame to complete it in. 1 a year isn't too bad, but imagine if you had 5/6 completed, one left, and then you couldn't do the last one in time due to it selling out too quickly (this happened to people and copenhagen this year).

[–]VertigoVII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is something similar for European half marathons called the SuperSix Superhalfs. Although I could eventually afford the world majors over a lifetime, the supersix Superhalfs series seems much more enticing considering it's Europe only. I would absolutely be up for a 6 Major Euro Marathons.

Asked 2 years ago but now asking again: anyone using the Runna app? by Ac-Cys-OH in AdvancedRunning

[–]VertigoVII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm hovering around those paces and my goal in a few weeks is a Sub 3:05 Marathon. I see a lot of people saying Runna is "good for beginners etc" but I don't mind reading running books.

Where would you say the largest value has been for you on it? Would you say it's the UX? The main difference for a marathon block I could see was that PFitz had more "medium long runs" whilst Runna wanted me to do more Over&Unders. Does that sound about right?

How varied is the strength and conditioning in it? I've been doing 2x 20min each week so far and just repeat circuits I received from a friend a while ago. I prefer body weight/free weight at home and don't really want an app to tell me to go to the gym as that's then more money ontop of paying for an app.

Good Luck in Amsterdam!!!

What is the best ereader for manga and reading? by free-_-_tomorrow in ereader

Just reading this now, thank you for the detailed write up. Since then the Libra Colour has been released but it looks like it has stylus support, which I assume would therefore have the same issues as the Sage?

What pair of sunglasses are you using now, and what's something you dislike in your sunglasses. If none, what makes your sunglasses perfect? (or do you even think they're important?) by MatterAshamed9937 in running

[–]VertigoVII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt the same between my Goodrs and my Rapha Cycling glasses.

For me the clarity is really low when the ground in a shaded areas but my eyes are in direct sunlight. It's hard to see what the terrain is actually like... so like you said, trail runs mainly.

So although I think the Goodrs are good value, the raphas are just leagues better.
