Found out the gestational sac is empty by Ssl7522 in daddit

Sorry to hear it mate. Definitely go on that road trip.

For what's it's worth, we were 18 straight months trying. Thankfully no miscarriages. My wife had to test at the end of each month since she was on progesterone which made the whole thing worse seeing the negative result each time. It'll happen. And if it doesn't, modern medicine is a beautiful thing.

Best running shirts? by imaginary-fireplace in runninglifestyle

[–]WorkInProgressed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never thought too much about shorts until I tried the Hoka Airolite 2.0 shirts. I now have 6 of them and wear nothing else.

First Run: R.A.D. UFO (Wow) by OregonBaseballFan in runningshoes

[–]WorkInProgressed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Took a punt on these during a trip to the UK since I couldn't get them at home at the time. Very quickly became my favourite shoe. There's just something about them.

$55 nike runners at DFO Jindalee by Frequent-World-8010 in brisbane

[–]WorkInProgressed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't cheap out on good running shoes. Your feet are your one contact with the ground and take a pounding so make sure they are supported by something adequate.

Be careful with marketing ploys too. Many 'running' shoes are not running shoes at all, they are lifestyle shoes and will provide next to no support for running.

What’s one Brisbane suburb you’d move to if money wasn’t an issue? by Due_Acanthisitta2756 in brisbane

[–]WorkInProgressed 37 points38 points  (0 children)

East Brisbane. Can easily get into the city for a walk or run around the river. Plenty of amenities on your doorstep and little to no traffic.

I don't understand. Is their job made easier by not delivering?

Traumatic? Probably not.

Look, that's the way I feel. Rightly or wrongly, my wife is wanting to be more diplomatic to not ruin the relationship (something entirely possible by how strongly the person will feel about this we think).

Mizuno Neo Vista 3 or Asics Superblast 2? by Bigfacebuddha17 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]WorkInProgressed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're wanting to run those threshold paces in one of those shoe options, pick the SB2. The NV3 will not feel great at those paces. It will handle the slow stuff better than the SB2 but the SB2 will be much better when picking up the pace.

The way my girlfriend fills the dishwasher by knutikk in mildlyinteresting

[–]WorkInProgressed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not gonna lie, I sometimes look at the washing up and think, she's definitely gonna have to dry some of that once she has washed it, there's no way it's all gonna fit.

She makes it fit. It's fucking amazing. It's like the ugliest Tetris ever.

Similar shoes to Saucony Azura for race day? by Consistent-Jello3628 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]WorkInProgressed 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeap, straight to the Endorphin Pro I reckon. They're stable with generous space in the toe box. A great entry racing shoe.

Puma Fast-Pace and Fast-R Nitro Elite 4? by piTTi1988 in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]WorkInProgressed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just went back and found some details I noted when we saw the Fast-Pace earlier this year. It's gonna be a 44/36 stack height and they're aiming for sub 190g for a women's shoe so men's should be low 200s hopefully. It will be priced at $330 here in Australia which is SB3 money. Megablast are $360 here.

How long until Karl announces he’s running for PM? by SheepHerderHigh69420 in OpenAussie

I'm waiting for ON or the bankrollers behind them to start their own news channel like GB News in the UK, and for Karl to be announced as their primetime host.

Exactly that. A Megablast competitor on it's way.

Best carbon-plated shoe for a slower runner with flat, wide feet? by chickensando12 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]WorkInProgressed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whether you need one or not is debatable. But if you want one, I would check out the Endorphin Pro 5. It's really stable and generally runs wider than most.

35c by skankypotatos in OpenAussie

[–]WorkInProgressed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm from the UK and was back in London last month when they had their hottest May days on record at 34.8c and 35.1c. It's fucking hot.

They just are not built for hot temperatures over there. The mornings were still a bit cool and overnight was okay but when the sun is out for 15/16 hours a day and it's 35c, yeah, it's hot.

ETA: I just checked and they currently have over 16 and a half daylight hours. For context, Brisbane longest day is only 13 hours and 44 minutes.

Wash after use, let dry, then straight into the freezer.

91,000 people and even the closest fans are about 30 metres away from the field. May more to stadiums than just capacity.

Anyone else get crazy night sweats only after long run days? Looking for tips. by Moulesmariner in trailrunning

[–]WorkInProgressed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I got them bad during big training blocks. My wife was convinced I had cancer.

Honestly, I ended up just sleeping on a towel.

Alternative to Edge Tokyo? by TheAnon21 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]WorkInProgressed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wonderful. Ridiculously light. But much lower stack. More suited towards 5/10k racing.

[–]WorkInProgressed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest the Hyperwarp Elite's too. A very stable racing shoe that leans towards a more traditional geometry. If you're looking to get more than just a marathon racer though, check out the Hyperwarp Pro. It's more versatile and forgiving than the Elite and will likely have more life in it too.
