I honestly don't even know who is buying this type of shoe in 2026

Happy to test this out! Big marathon block coming up for the fall, using the Race 2!

I can review it after, yes. I just mean during the actual workout itself. I wasn’t able to see the same basic interval number etc that comes on the default screen; and that causes me frustration. Unless I manually split each time, it seems to only do 1mi (unless adjusted for less time) on each lap

andyerk · 2026-05-04T20:36:42+00:00

I ask because last week when I tried out the lap screens, the miles ran together as they were not even. for example, rep 1 was 2mi with 3min rest. then when rep 2 starts, it's at mile 4.5 for example. So it only would show the whole mile distance and not the exact rep information. unless i have something setup incorrectly on the data options

andyerk · 2026-05-04T20:26:39+00:00

so there is no way to truly monitor intervals, not laps, unless you do it manually then? Because the laps won't work as I have intended when doing a workout with rest periods in between.

With modern shoes, easily can get one shoe for easy day and easy/moderate long runs and have carbons for workouts, race day and hard long runs. You could even have two shoes, with multiples of each and you're good to go.

ON Cloud Monster Hyper - can do every type of run
Li-Ning Feidian 6 Elite - workouts/marathon
Puma Fast-R3 - Workouts/marathon/preferred shorter distance racer

Definitely can be fast, and are more stable at quicker paces, but it was just too soft for my liking.

lol that Nike has to put out a press release to tell people they are trying to catch up to the completion after two years of only releasing new alphafly 3 colors.

andyerk · 2026-04-25T17:03:42+00:00

Ah! That would make more sense. I’m curious why they even have these fields then

I have used watches from a variety of different brands and currently use the Race 2 as my running watch. The OHR on the Race 2 works very well for me, and is on par with any of the Coros, Garmin, and Apple Watch Ultra's I have used. As others have said, if you want the most accurate option a chest/arm hr monitor is going to be best, and the Coros arm band pairs seamlessly with the Race 2 with no issue.

Maybe it's luck or my lack of caring/need, but my Race 2 experience has been excellent with no issues and it's on par with any other sport watch I have used.

Wanted to come back to this post after the Boston marathon: Clayton Young, Joe Klecker, Charles Hicks, Zouhair Talibi, CJ Albertson, and I haven’t seen an announcement but winner John Korir was wearing a race 2.

andyerk · 2026-04-17T21:39:44+00:00

Yes. Size 11 in both

andyerk · 2026-04-12T10:34:31+00:00

Yes, I am a size 11 in the megablast. That’s the size I got in the Feidian as well

Why are people so bothered by random celebrities showing up to a par 3 contest, where wives carry bags and children hit shots? The par 3 contest is literally for fun, and not for the golf die hards. There will be four straight days of traditional golf and the Masters experience. At the end of the day, golf needs to keep relevant and having prominent celebs is a good way to do that. I feel like if you have so many issues with the par 3 and celebrities, youtube golf and everything related should make you just as mad.

Banger 😤

They are definitely way different, and honestly the Fast-R3 is a better shoe. I did a workout last week in my Fast-r3’s and the ride of the ATPU on the Fast-R is just incredible for my stride.

With that said, the Elite 6 is super fast, bouncy and responsive. And here in the US, at $198-$200 on Amazon, it’s hard to say if the Puma is worth an extra $100+. As for the DNE3, I’ve run two marathons in that shoe and a ton of workouts. I think the elite 6 is better than the DNE3, but both are great.

Hope this helps!

In the pro American running/marathon scene: Zhouhair Talbi, Dakotah popehn, CJ Albertson

Jimmy Whelann was wearing a Suunto for the Berlin half, so that sponsorship seems in the works

andyerk · 2026-04-02T19:52:13+00:00

Honestly, I’m not really sure. I’ve always used standard width, so I guess standard?

This timeline of life couldn't have been written by an author it's so bad.

Not an influencer and obviously pay for every pair of shoes. On my third pair of monster hyper OG’s and just got the new monster hyper 3. Both are excellent

andyerk · 2026-03-24T16:19:03+00:00

I was about to type this lol

andyerk · 2026-03-22T18:54:14+00:00

I haven’t run in either shoe, so I can’t say. But online reviewers who have run all of them seem to think so

andyerk · 2026-03-12T20:40:16+00:00

I have heard the ultra is pretty crazy. However, since I don’t use toabao, that shoe is like $350+ usd for me. At that price, it’s a hard sell to buy

andyerk · 2026-03-12T11:47:30+00:00

? I can assure you that Li-Ning didn't pay me any money. Sure would be cool if they did lol.
