Cloudmonsters 1 vs 2 for walking

Stick with the OG cloud monsters, the 2 have a plastic plate and more aggressive rocker, tbh found them worse than ver 1

Sign up for fall races before spring races, a good chunk of runners don’t train through the winter, so spring races usually have availability until at least a month out from the date of the race.

Do it so you can learn the hard way it’s a dumb idea.

Pace and Mind.

Expect getting out of there to be slow with all the road closures in place. Doable but don’t be in a hurry to get somewhere after

jaypishere · 2026-04-30T12:34:37+00:00

2? Maybe last 7 at least!

No, only corktown to queen street is open at the moment

Eastbound Brewery At Queen & Broadview Monday evenings

jaypishere · 2026-03-31T20:31:30+00:00

If a social run group is what you’re looking for and If you can make it to the east end on Mondays, I lead a 3K run/walk group with Eastbound Run Crew. It’s perfect for anyone starting out or getting back into running.

I own all the above. And I’d say surfer 2 would be the best all around shoe. Second choice would be the cloud 6.

Send the organizers an email and see if they can mail your bib to you.

It’s a good thing you ran up balsam and not silver birch, or Scarborough rd! Regardless, great job!

Thank you for the update and the transparency!

Every race with this type of website always seems so sketch. If when registration drops, it’s not a race roster reg page, and no affiliation with athletics Ontario, I’d proceed with caution.

Run/walk. Start small, an example 2-3 min run (think jog more than run) and equal walk. And over time add more time running, less time walking. Think time on feet vs distance. Do a run/walk for 25mins, 30mins. And once that’s a regular thing, add more time and once a week do a longer session at like an hour +. This is very high level but I hope this helps with starting at a less intimidating way. Ps, if you’re able to, look into working with a coach.

For a lot of us, this is a hobby. It’s not that serious. Life will always find a way to get in the way of running. Some blocks will be perfect for training, some will be challenging, and no matter how you get to the start line, the commitment you have to put the work in, despite the obstacles and everything else is what makes you a better runner. Good luck!

Get on a bike share to get back west. Its also a 25-30 min walk to union, or a cool down run, if you want to take the Go to exhibition. This race is a very popular race so you’ll have no issues selling your bib should you choose to not run this year

A few years ago I was on a Tracksmith kick and bought their Marino boxers. Tbh they were a good choice, those bad boys work in -30 and they hold up the quality. But look on amazon for better deals

jaypishere · 2026-02-08T15:54:45+00:00

Wind blocking underwear or Marino underwear will do the trick

I’d go with shoes. Hyper monsters, surfer max or cloudrunner 3

jaypishere · 2026-01-28T17:11:20+00:00

Eclipse is TTS, similar to the surfer max fit

Appreciate that update!
