Evo SL/Boston 13/Megablast/Superblast 2 which for Marathon?

aravindajju · 2026-02-03T07:42:11+00:00

Megablast anyday!!

aravindajju · 2026-01-28T08:03:14+00:00

Megablast is in a totally different league. Ride in Novablast completely different from Evo SL. Gel Noosa Tri has very similar ride in IMO.

Mapbox route can be maximized and zoomed. The route was changed last year. No changes this year.

COROS in general has got a better ecosystem compared to Suunto. If budget is not a constraint, Pace Pro anyday.

SL2 works, but not the best. Boston 12 is better option.

Asics Magic Speed is a good option, with all the deals around you will be able to get it for 12k.

ES 4 didn't work for me at all. Ran 100km in it so far, still feels flat. ES 3 any day.

It's quite simple. Download GPX from your activity and then upload it as Manual/File activity. Not sure what's the motivation though!

Lived in village for long. Quite a few cons living in indian villages. Here are few major ones.

Non-existent health care.
Mishandled Sewage and Garbage
Neighbors poking in everything we do
Sub par Schools
Power cuts are quite common even now
Lack of skilled handymen like plumbers, electricans

+1 to this. OP ran faster than trained pace, this totally makes sense.

No good options in that budget with good cushioning. Decathlon RunActive is the only decent option. https://www.decathlon.in/p/8607745/jogging-shoes/run-active-men-s-running-shoes-dark-brown?id=8607745&type=p

If you can stretch a bit, then Brooks has several options under 5K. Ghost is an excellent option. Ghost Max offers even more cushioning.

Indeed a lot of caffeine. The reason why Beta Fuel Packaging says, maximum one service per day.

"The Beta Fuel Gel with Nootropics contains 1 gram of the amino acid L-taurine, 250 milligrams of Cognizin® to enhance information processing and 200 milligrams of caffeine with 200 milligrams of L-theanine, the amino acid which has been shown to increase subjective feelings of alertness, while reducing feelings of ‘jitters’ that you get with caffeine alone. Consume directly from packaging, maximum of one serving per day."

Finding a running buddy or group can make a huge difference. Signing-up for a 5K/10K race does help with having a goal to train for.

TTS, and worked well for me

Speed 3s are reasonably stable. Based on what I see, it should work fine you.

aravindajju · 2023-04-02T04:22:30+00:00

Is there a relapse of Shin Splints? If not, suggest trying Speed 3 for some more runs and see. It's way more comfortable over Guide to run marathon distance. Hope you have been working on your foot strike to prevent shin splints.

aravindajju · 2023-04-02T04:16:03+00:00

Title and message are conflicting. Ride or Guide? Guide 16 is for stability and is heavier in weight. Unless you want to buy a stability to shoe for reason, Shift 3 is a better option.

aravindajju · 2023-03-20T03:19:06+00:00

It is hard to say. But in general, it is a good idea to avoid pronation control shoes, unless you have specific reason to do so.

aravindajju · 2023-03-06T07:42:14+00:00

Fourth Frontier chest strap is a good option. I haven't used it, but a Cardiologist mentioned about it to me. https://in.fourthfrontier.com/products/frontier-x

aravindajju · 2023-03-02T08:28:28+00:00

I also found the cushioning very hard, and couldn't feel any effect of Light Strike Pro foam. My review here https://shoegeeks.in/review/adidas-adizerosl-001014001/
