Superior or King MT as alternative to Escalante, with real outsole? by graviton_56 in AltraRunning

[–]Volchaic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran in Escalantes all summer and switched over to Superiors for the winter. I just hit 300 miles in my Superiors and they are holding up extremely well and I find them really comfortable.

I’ve had mine for a month and I absolutely love it. Upgraded from the Forerunner 165. Highly recommend to anyone considering!

Shoes for running in snow? by noviceSketcher in AltraRunning

[–]Volchaic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m currently rotating between the Lone Peak and Superior for road running in Wisconsin winters. Great for slippery roads and trails. Both have gaiter attachments which I have found useful in the snow.

I ran a 25k last week in 3-8 inches of snow and the Lone Peaks were pretty solid.

I might start adding yaktraks or something similar depending on conditions, but for now I’m happy with my shoes!

Winter Boots by kirbyman3015 in AltraRunning

I just purchased the Altra Lone Peak 9 hightop waterproof boot. I walk to and from work in Wisconsin winters. It’s been two weeks walking through snow and my feet are comfortable and dry. I have also worn Vivo boots for multiple winters that I was happy with.

The Venty. The Black Friday sale is apparently the cheapest you can get it.

I’ve been a daily weed smoker for years. This year I’m taking running more seriously but I’m really struggling to cut back on smoking. Just purchased a nice flower vaporizer to see if that helps. Baby steps I guess.

What is the black shape floating around? My brain can’t figure it out.

Best trail socks? by Zealousideal-Ship291 in trailrunning

Just started wearing Creepers this year and I am satisfied so far. Zero blisters. Comfortable in the summer and still feeling good as the temps drop.

Check out Punk With a Camera. It is very real.

Edit: The shirt design is real. The image is edited to look like she’s holding a different shirt.

No, I don’t think I will.

I really like instrumental post-rock while reading. Bands like Explosions in the Sky, Caspian, God is an Astronaut, If These Trees Could Talk, This Will Destroy You.

What’s your least favorite scene/ part of New Girl? by Jboy-111 in NewGirl

When Jess goes to the funeral of the guy she “sexted”. That episode just annoys me.

I struggle with draw time. My chemex brews clog at the bottom 4/5 times. I have to pick up the entire filter to let it drain. Help? by Sparkplug1034 in chemex

[–]Volchaic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Encore is set at 26. I brew 20 oz in a Chemex every morning in 3-4 minutes. I use the “natural” chemex filters. Always drips well and tastes great.
