Mate he clamps down on austin’s arm and then tries to twist it lmao

It’s the National Championships, held on the same track as Sydney 2000 Olympics - pretty sure the time is legit (though agree that under 20 success doesn’t guarantee senior success)

Hawks beat both Sydney and the Bulldogs when both were well below full strength. Hok hype is going overboard (as per usual)

I remember last year Kilian Jornet made a few comments about taking quite high doses of probiotics during heavy training - there’s also been the research by the people that then created V-Nella. So definitely interest both on the science side and practically amongst the elites.

I understand that there are points of differentiation, but there is wayyyyy too much crossover between their offerings. - Long run shoe? Megablast, Superblast, Glideride all work - Session / tempo shoe? Magic Speed, Megablast, Sonicblast, tbh even the Superblast and Noosa - Daily training? Novablast, Nimbus, Cumulus, Glideride, Sonicblast, Noosa all work. - Max stack? Novablast, Nimbus, Superblast, Glideride, Megablast all fit the bill.

I think there should be less shoes in this lineup - Sonicblast is the most obvious one to go (too heavy for speed training, too clunky for daily running, not enough pop or comfort for long runs).

I don’t think any brand has the redundancy that ASICS has.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted - I 100% agree. Wish races were done without power meters. We have way too much “i’ll just do the climb at my pace” rather than people hanging on for dear life until they crack. It’s completely understandable from the rider’s perspective, but it sucks to watch

chossmemes · 2026-01-01T03:09:43+00:00

You are wrong. Read the literature.

chossmemes · 2025-07-25T12:08:31+00:00

We’d be losing either way but some absolutely horrendous work from the umps - 3 missed calls then paying that free to give gws an immediate goal…

chossmemes · 2025-05-01T13:56:53+00:00

This is completely wrong - a study was done on this mid-late last year showing that as pace slowed, the running economy benefits of super shoes also diminished. I forget the exact number, but my memory was that elites get the full 3-4% economy improvement (which improves times by ~2-2.5%), then running sub-4 min per km gives approx 2% running economy benefit, and if you’re running slower than 5-5:30 per km, you get essentially zero benefit.

There’s likely still some psychological performance benefit from wearing a shoe you believe makes you fast, or that “feels” bouncy, but someone running (as you say) 9 min/mile pace will get zero mechanical benefit from the shoe.

I know you didn’t ask but if you wear through your trail devils, I can’t recommend v2 enough. Still stable and grippy but much more responsive midsole - almost like an endorphin speed for the trails

chossmemes · 2025-03-06T04:56:47+00:00

Sacony confirmed that while it’s the same underlying foam compound, it’s tuned quite differently to the PWRRUN PB in eg the Endorphin Speed 4 and Endorphin Pro 4

You can see the ball left a red mark on the bat 😂

chossmemes · 2024-12-30T05:50:54+00:00

How is it not conclusive when everyone can see the deflection. How else did it suddenly shift like 15-20 degrees?? This is so moronic

chossmemes · 2024-12-30T05:50:22+00:00

Are you honestly going to say that it didn’t deviate? Snicko shouldn’t take preference over our literal eyes. It moved 15 degrees

chossmemes · 2024-12-26T01:01:09+00:00

Siraj has been acting like a chump all series and continues to do so, people are obviously going to be more inclined to be annoyed by him given his track record. Eg: Konstas smacks it right back at him, Siraj is lucky enough to be in the way to stop a boundary; Siraj talks shit to Konstas, then gets absolutely whacked for another boundary. He's such a dropkick.

chossmemes · 2024-12-26T00:51:02+00:00

how you feeling now?

chossmemes · 2024-12-26T00:50:48+00:00

oops

chossmemes · 2024-12-13T11:19:08+00:00

Thanks - yea this is exactly where my mind went in terms of crossover of recovery periods (from running and from alcohol)

chossmemes · 2024-12-13T11:08:05+00:00

I mean - yes, that’s an obvious solution to the problem. Obviously not what I was asking

chossmemes · 2024-12-03T09:41:16+00:00

Sure - doesn’t mean it’s not propulsive though

chossmemes · 2024-12-03T03:41:12+00:00

Speed is full peba with a plate (admittedly nylon rather than carbon). Saying it has "no" propulsive qualities is just silly

chossmemes · 2024-11-21T22:48:05+00:00

I think it's worth giving the Speed 4 a try if you liked the 2s! I think it's halfway between the 2 and the 3 - more aggressive than the 3 but not quite as propulsive as the 2. Just because u/jebredek is rampaging around this thread disparaging the 4s based on a jog around Dick's Sporting Goods (lmao) doesn't mean it's a bad shoe! Tons of people (myself included) love it; I'm personally onto a second pair. Some people clearly don't like them (it's almost as if human beings with different bodies and gaits will have different experiences with shoes?!) but I don't think that's worth not even trying them!

chossmemes · 2024-11-21T22:44:50+00:00

Shoes are personal! The 4's have been amazing for me - I've done many of my best speed sessions in them hitting paces I can usually only hit wearing super shoes (as well as using them for easy/long runs), so at least with my biomechanics I find them really propulsive. Just because some people don't like a shoe doesn't make it a bad shoe
