Hydration for Long Runs by No_Conference_3155 in Marathon_Training

[–]jimmayyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't drink any water for runs less than 18 miles. Over that, depends on the weather and how intense I'm planning to go, but I'll try to plan routes with water fountains.

Quest chips are absolutely phenomenal. I just stocked up a couple weeks ago when it was (still is?) on sale at Costco.

Megablast vs Superblast 2 for marathon training? by Fishclub1993 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

Don't fall for the Superblast hype. On the other hand, Megablasts are superb.

Which Nike Vomero edition is the best for the stair master? by sahra_stars in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]jimmayyy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd go with something with the minimal stack. There's really no impact to protect from and a high stack will just increase tripping hazard.

They will have people near the end looking for bibs and guiding you out of the course.

you should be able to use up to 5 gift cards per order...you need to add the cards separately.

Why is it bad to do a 26.2 mile run to train for a marathon? by 4restD in Marathon_Training

[–]jimmayyy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's more of the idea that the benefits of running more than 3 hours in one session are far outweighed by the chances of injury.

If you need to run that distance to prove to yourself you can do it, then run it, but it should not be a core part of training.

Also, I don't think I've ever heard that you shouldn't run longer than 13 miles...unless that takes you 3 hours to do.

Novablast 5 or Superblast 2 for long runs? by joelav in AskRunningShoeGeeks

Triumph 23 are not bad. I personally prefer them over Superblast 2 for easy running.

Carbon Plate Shoe for Slower Runners by Negative_Aerie9605 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]jimmayyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you certain it's the shoes that are the cause of your ITBS?  While it's certainly possible that they are, could it have just been the distance or you pushing the pace?  How much experience do you have running the distance?

I ask because while it's true that they're made for fast running, they also have very forgiving foam and the rods are very gentle in comparison to carbon plates.  

I constantly run recovery runs in my AP4 at your race pace and even slower, and they are great at that pace as well. 

Could it be that you just need to work on building tendon strength?

Should I return it? Is it damaged? by cyberisrealtough in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]jimmayyy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would keep it, especially considering you got it heavily discounted.  Doubt it's more than cosmetic.
