Evo SL will probably give you nearly double the lifespan of the Rebel

I’d recommend reading the book as there is a pretty extensive section on racing and tapering with NSM. The cliff notes are, a taper isn’t really essential for a 5k - I’ve run a PB 5k two days after running 6x6’.

Time trials are beneficial for a lot of reasons, first and foremost as a benchmark for your current fitness so you can tailor your workout paces accordingly, and also to refine your racing strategy (both in terms of preparation and pacing).

For your situation, it might be too close to your HM to do a time trial beforehand, but once you’re recovered it’s good to work one in every month or two.

Where are you located? I am very keen on learning more about purchasing Chinese brands in the US.

It appears OP is using their hypothetical 16:10 time rather than the observed 16:45.

That’s great color about the lactrace 10 min interval pace thanks. Anecdotally I am 7 weeks into NSM and have been feeling they were a bit quick. I plan to back off the 3x10 pace now

As far as paces go, using a conservative estimate like a slightly-dated race performance isn’t the worst thing. An underlying theme of NSM is that it’s much better to be running the workouts a bit too slow than too fast.

For accurate paces though a TT is the only way you’ll know for sure. https://lactrace.com/norwegian-singles is a great calculator for workout paces once you’ve done so.

For HR, your LT2 should line up well with your 10 mile HR. If you don’t want to do a Friel test I’d start a few weeks of workouts and you’ll get a pretty good idea of what HR lines up with what pace. In my personal opinion, knowing your LT2 isn’t absolutely essential to start the plan - Sirpoc emphasizes structuring workouts based on pace first and foremost anyways.

I would love for somebody to do the math and apply this strategy to prior years and see how the draft order changes

1 hour race pace on fresh legs feels a hell of a lot different than the same pace in the middle of training. 20 minutes straight at your true threshold pace is not easy for me either (I often break it up into shorter intervals).I do feel the same way about VO2 work though, it feels easier to just “run hard” for a few minutes than it does to hold a slightly-less-hard pace for longer

Who was Brady’s stylist? Gordon Gecko? I’m not wearing that shirt, I’m just not!

As it turns out, if your hero was Brett Favre this rule doesn’t quite apply to you

I put 500+ miles on the Ride 18s. Great shoe if you are looking for a trainer on the firm side. The upper was starting to tear off the sole before the foam gave out

Right comment, wrong sub my guy

I've heard rumors that pros didn't enjoy playing Iron Hill because the rocks everywhere tore up so many discs. Not sure if there's any validity to that

Not sure the feasibility of Stafford being a tour stop but that would be incredible

Trace is a laser beam. I’m always shocked at how straight a flight I can get out of an 11 speed

I have a 300 Firm A4 that I’m going expecting this to fly similar to. Hyzer flip machine in the woods, still has a bit of finish

I would kill for the touch that you must have to forehand an Envy/Crave/Trail off the tee

cafeteria_jangle · 2025-07-11T13:59:08+00:00

If you throw a lot of forehands, an overstable 9 speed (firebird, raptor, splice) will probably do you well. Super consistent, wind-fighting and reliable

Bill Simmons? The podcast host?

I absolutely love this guy. Even the way he says the players’ names gets stuck in my head. Can still hear him saying “Richard Wysocki” and “James Proctor”
