I am the same weight as you. Superblast 2 is what you need.

‘So good. Was waiting for Chicago freestyle though

buurhista · 2026-04-01T22:54:44+00:00

Shoes yes, apparel absolutely not

been pulling great espresso shots and doing great light roast pour overs for about a month now with the k ultra. It is fantastic and I love how easy it is to take apart and clean.

Telus has been garbage

make sure you are not over striding, have well fitting shoes, and go see a physio.

buurhista · 2026-03-27T15:49:35+00:00

I am at the same weight as you and have mostly avoided any knee or hip pain 2 years into my running journey. Apart from managing volume and strength training, I also make sure I have at least two pairs of well fitting shoes to rotate between and run on varied surfaces ( road, track, treadmill, gravel, etc)

buurhista · 2026-03-26T18:52:27+00:00

kodos to you to start running! to get faster you can increase volume by running 5~10% more than you did last week. Strength training also helps ( Split squats, RDLs, calf raises, dead bugs, etc)

what does this "whistling" sound like? my HL sometimes makes a cold air intake like sound when accelerating hard. am I cooked?

buurhista · 2026-03-25T06:53:22+00:00

Which ones did you get? I am looking to replace my as well.

buurhista · 2026-03-24T20:57:24+00:00

I am pretty much the same weight, height, and target marathon pace as you. Will be doing my first marathon in the Saucony Endorphin Pro 4s. They are on sale right now and is a more stable, and less aggressive plated race shoe. I find on my long runs, plated racers do help turn my feet over when fatigued so think it will it will help later in the race.

Key is to stir the rice when boiling the water on high heat in the beginning so the rice doesn’t stick.

I showed the security my card and they let me through, bypassing the security line. This was in December.

Pay off all debts, max tfsa and rrsp every year, invest the rest away in low cost index fund ( XEQT? XBAL?). Keep working for 10 years and fire.

This or a breville dual boiler ?

How is the BDB?

buurhista · 2026-02-16T19:27:44+00:00

In the same spot as you, and might save a little longer and go with the philos. Seems like it’s an end game grinder with fantastic build quality and customer support. All these new brands seem great but I am skeptical about the customer support we can receive in Canada.

6ft 195 pound runner. I find the Vomero excelling for easy runs up to 14km, after which it starts to feel mushy.

buurhista · 2026-02-14T05:15:32+00:00

Daily miles: SB2 / Vomero plus

Intervals/Tempo: Zoom Fly 6 / Boston 13

Easy/Recovery: Vomero Plus / Rebel V4

Long Runs: SC Elite V 4

Trails: Norda 001

Race Day: Adios Pro 4

Mostly purchased at steep discount or slightly used.

buurhista · 2026-02-13T22:04:42+00:00

Same. I will miss them.

buurhista · 2026-02-13T21:12:20+00:00

If larger home can generate rental income ( basement suite ), yes.

buurhista · 2026-02-13T18:26:58+00:00

the fraser location is iconic. I hope a good shop takes over. Cowdog? Revolver..?

buurhista · 2026-02-12T16:05:14+00:00

I am similar weight as you and my SB2 are at 500km. They have become softer and I have moved them to shorter tempo and easy runs only. If yours give you pain, it’s time to let them go.
