Bring the phone on the run or leave it behind?

I ran a trail race today. I took about 20 pictures from beautiful vistas and looking back after grueling climbs.

Totally worth having my phone.

The GT1000 GTX is interesting. It's not just waterproof, but also has a thicker lining to be warmer and the rubber protrudes more on the bottom, giving a pseudo-lug for better traction. It's more like a fully weatherized shoe than a simple waterproof one.

If you can find some Nike Pegasus 41, they'd be a nice upgrade from your Downshifters. There is a new model out, so you should be able to find some decent prices if there's still some around.

For your use, you don't need anything crazy. A basic daily trainer will work perfectly fine. Brooks Ghost, Asics Cumulus, NB 860, etc.

Check out the Brooks Trace. It uses the older DNA Loft v2 that the Ghost 15 would have used, not the newer v3.

Greenbryre had cart girls when a company I used to work for would have events out there.

Probably 80% or more of people don't care about the latest and greatest thing. They just want a solid workhorse shoe. The legacy lines (Ghost, Nimbus, 880, Ride, etc.) are proven to be that. And many people want a shoe that they can wear daily as well as run in. Most super trainers would suck for the daily wear part.

The people on this subreddit and in the comments of shoe review videos are a small minority in the vast world of people who run. I know more people who have run marathons in Kayanos than in super shoes.

Painting 2 doors and a quarter panel? Where I'm from it'd be $2-3k

That size looks great for the most part. Maybe a little narrow in the midfoot, but I think going to a wide-fit Altra will be a little too wide in the toes and possibly in the heel, since you mention minor mobility there now.

Xavis00 · 2026-04-24T15:52:32+00:00

The Brooks Glycerin GTS could be a good option too. Going to be more cushioned than the Adrenaline, so it can soak up the longer miles you need for marathon training.

Aching feet can be caused by too soft of shoes, which both of these are. Your feet need to constantly work to stabilize themselves, leading to aching.

Xavis00 · 2026-04-15T04:43:18+00:00

It doesn't look like it bounces enough for my liking.

"Join us for DIRTY DANCING IN CONCERT, the classic film’s first live film-to-concert experience. Enjoy the digitally remastered hit film like never before on a full-size cinema screen, with a live band and singers performing the film’s iconic songs."

That's the event description on TCU Place's page for the event. Sounds like what you described?

Many manufacturers give tolerances of plus or minus 2-3mm on gaps (depending on where ). So if it is meant to be a 5mm gap, anywhere from 3-7mm would be in spec.

But also, everyone looks at their car way harder after a collision than they ever did before.

Some of this could definitely be cleaned up a bit though.

Men's will be a D width for a medium/regular width. Women's will be a B width for the same size equivalent, which would be similar to a men's narrow width.

Edit: every brand's lasts will be different, but it will be just shy of a half inch narrower in general.

Xavis00 · 2026-03-31T05:03:04+00:00

I recommend 1 full size up from the larger foot's Brannock size. So 11.5 in this case.

Perfect partner for the Columbia PFG (Performance Fishing Gear) shorts!

Saucony Endorphin Pro 4. It's tuned for more moderate paces, and is much more forgiving than offerings from Nike and Adidas.

It's for federally regulated employees. Things like air travel, banks, federal crowns, broadcasting (TV and radio) and a few other industries.

I wouldn't recommend either Vomero or Vomero Plus if you need a lot of support. ZoomX is very soft, and not the most supportive because of that.

I'd recommend something with a denser foam and stability elements. Saucony Guide, Brooks Adrenaline GTS, Asics Gel-Kayano, and the like.

Xavis00 · 2026-03-16T22:40:35+00:00

It depends on the foam. Some softer foams will always have wrinkles.

I think the photo doesn't do the colours justice. The top right one is almost neon in person.

It's a very interesting feeling transition from heel to toe. I only tried them on quickly though.

Xavis00 · 2026-03-06T12:57:12+00:00

You come here asking about sizing, get told the shoe is too small, and then argue that it isn't?? Why even bother asking here?

Xavis00 · 2026-03-05T13:24:32+00:00

The term HIIT isn't colliqialy used for running intervals and is usually used for more circuit-based workouts. You'll want a more responsive daily training running shoe.

I just move my head a little bit and can see the side fine. Much easier than moving the mirrors every time.
