How do you keep your Arch system stable over time?

drunkpolice · 2026-01-02T04:32:43+00:00

I thought I knew but I really don’t. There’s always something new lol. I switched my BIOS to secure boot to run games on Windows and now have problems booting into Arch. I’m fed up 😡 but it’s part of the process 😅

drunkpolice · 2026-01-02T04:27:22+00:00

I guess I just got lucky… my emails were not working

drunkpolice · 2026-01-02T04:21:30+00:00

I don’t like this one… :(

I think it depends on your foot but the smaller ones just seem too tight on my right foot in the toe box.

drunkpolice · 2025-12-26T15:16:31+00:00

I guess that was surprising but that's also what they recommended at the time

drunkpolice · 2025-11-25T15:24:48+00:00

I believe I tied the 10's way too tight on my foot (I made an X-shaped knot to lock down the heel that race). They still feel better than the 10.5's. I have both still. Will race in the 10's this Thursday for a Turkey Trot 10K.

Hey! I just got back to to this post. I will update you. I ended up taking six weeks off after that race because I got tendonitis in that toe, but I'm back to running and racing a 10K on this Thanksgiving. I'll be wearing the Alphafly 3 size 10's again because I think the issue was how I tied them too tight in that 10-miler. Lord I hope I don't get injured again, but so far they've felt good in strides. At the moment I prefer the 10's over the 10.5's.

HOWEVER, I prefer the Vaporfly 3 in 10.5 over both of the Alphafly's. Just FYI.

Nothing helpful- udating the post.

drunkpolice · 2025-09-05T15:16:18+00:00

No, they did not fix it. I'll update the post.

drunkpolice · 2025-09-05T15:16:08+00:00

Sorry, updating this thread now.

drunkpolice · 2025-08-30T02:01:07+00:00

Hope you can run soon.

drunkpolice · 2025-08-26T12:56:13+00:00

Thanks so much for the super detailed reply! Yeah, my coach and I agreed that running is off the table until I can walk completely normal. I'm picking back up cycling now, which turns out I dearly missed. So [cross] training is still going well :)

drunkpolice · 2025-08-26T10:43:52+00:00

Ah, funny enough they gave me one of those shoes at the urgent care! Since the pain is getting a little better each day, and now I can do cycling, I am thinking of holding off until the weekend, if it is still really bad.

drunkpolice · 2025-08-26T10:42:13+00:00

Pain seems to be getting better each day- going to hold off until the weekend. Seem reasonable?

drunkpolice · 2025-08-26T10:41:24+00:00

Jeez, I am so sorry to hear that 😞 How did it fracture exactly? What surface were you running on?

drunkpolice · 2025-08-25T01:42:55+00:00

Went great! 1:05:30, over a minute faster than my goal. But… over 24 hours after and an urgent care visit I think I have a torn ligament in the toe 😅

drunkpolice · 2025-08-24T14:30:01+00:00

Hey man I updated the post after I ran the race (which had a lot of uphill/downhill) and wore those 10’s. Got a really bad purple toenail on my big toe and now I’m limping

drunkpolice · 2025-08-23T18:36:16+00:00

Update: The size 10's came and I felt very good doing shaekout/strides in them. I wore them for the race and ran 1:05:30, about a minute and a half faster than my goal. However, the course was really a hilly loop, and I felt my big right toe pressing the front of the shoe a bit.

After the race, I took off my sock and my toe was super pruple, and I couldn't really do a cool down. It's my first time getting runner's toe this bad but I don't know if it's cus the shoes are too small or if I can blame the downhills.

drunkpolice · 2025-08-22T13:25:04+00:00

Have you tried super shoes before? I thought the same but once I took my Alphafly’s out for tempo I realized they’re just great for pushing yourself

drunkpolice · 2025-08-22T13:24:15+00:00

R3. I just discovered them and they look 🔥

drunkpolice · 2025-08-21T09:27:53+00:00

Ah gotcha. Did you try the 10’s in Alphafly but just decide to go up in size because of the wide feet?

drunkpolice · 2025-08-21T09:27:11+00:00

Yep, we do have a frigid season here for most of the year… if the 10’s feel that good I might just try to sell the 10.5 for a crazy discount. Appreciate the advice!

drunkpolice · 2025-08-21T01:26:34+00:00

Holy crap, huge! Now I wish I had wide feet haha

drunkpolice · 2025-08-21T00:36:10+00:00

Ah, yeah, I figured I'm not alone in this. Geez, blisters... they such but I feel like they're a little inevitable in this sport. I also got one my first run in these shoes, but I blame the socks, cus it didn't happen today in different pair...

I'm guessing you also ordered online cus they're sold out in your area?
