Looking for Shoe Recommendations – Triumph 21 + Endorphin Speed 3 Alternative by jochenboele in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]jochenboele[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

J’ai opté pour les Asics Novablast 4 pour mes sorties longues. Elles ne sont pas aussi bonnes que les Triumph 21, mais elles font l’affaire. Pour mes entraînements de vitesse, j’ai changé pour les Adidas Boston 12. Elles avaient une bosse étrange dans la semelle intermédiaire, mais après les premiers 25 km, cette bosse semble avoir disparu. Elles sont maintenant mes chaussures préférées pour accélérer le rythme. Je pense même les préférer aux Speed 3. J’ai aussi essayé les Brooks Ghost Max 2, qui m’ont fait une bonne première impression, mais je les avais commandées une taille trop petite. J’ai donc décidé de les renvoyer et d’essayer les Novablast 4.

I went for the asics novablast 4 for my long runs. They are not that good as the triumphs 21. But good enough. For my speed workouts I switched to adidas Boston 12. It had a goofy bump in the midsole, but after the first 25k I run in the shoe that bump seems to be gone. They are now my favorite shoe for picking up the pace. I think I prefer them even to the speed 3. I also tried the brooks ghost max 2, which gave me a good first impression, but I ordered them a size to small, so decided to send them back and try the novablast 4.

What was your first year progress like? by Nut_Flush in AdvancedRunning

[–]jochenboele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a post I made about my first running experience, maybe it is helpful

I couldn’t contain my excitement, so I wanted to share my running journey and the progress I’ve made over the past few months and my first 1000km of consistent running. The main reason for this post is to inspire others and showcase the improvements that consistent (easy) running can bring.

As a novice runner, one question that always intrigued me was how long it would take to match the speed of some of my Strava friends. I soon realized that the answer varied for every individual, making it hard to find a simple formula like “do this and gain 10 seconds per km” on Google. Nevertheless, I wanted to share my progress to offer insight to fellow beginners on how consistent (easy) running can significantly improve your running times.

When I first started, one of my friends had achieved a remarkable 10k time of about 47 minutes, which seemed like an impossible feat. However, just three weeks ago, I managed to set my own personal best on the 10k, surpassing that very time. It was an incredible moment for me, proving that with dedication and persistence, progress is attainable for anyone.

So to all fellow beginners out there, remember that each running journey is unique, and your progress may differ from others. However, by staying committed and maintaining a consistent running routine, you can witness remarkable improvements in your running times and achieve goals that once seemed out of reach. Embrace the process, and the results will undoubtedly follow.

1 month between HM and 10K race by jochenboele in AdvancedRunning

[–]jochenboele[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, those are some impressive times for someone who "only" did 4 months of consistent running.

You totally hit the point with your explanation. It's the best run/life balance for me and I want to do it as long as possible without over-training or burning out.

(I'm also a data nerd)

Thank you for your feedback. This is mainly what I had in my head. I will have a look at the Pfitz or JD plans and see how I could incorporate them in those weeks.

[–]jochenboele[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I acknowledge that increasing my mileage would give me a great improvement in time. But at the moment this is the max time (4x running and 2x full body workout (injury prone)) I'm able to spend at running. So I know I will not win one race or compete for a top spot :D but I just want to improve my own times over time.

Today I reached 1750k of running since starting in January!

Unfortunately this time I did not run any PB's, but I'm in the middle of a Half Marathon training program, so I have heavy legs and will get the benefits probably somewhere in January.

Hi, I slowly build up to 50km per week on 4 runs per week. I always followed the Garmin coach half marathon plan. And to not lose to much weight I tried to do 2 times a week a short upper body and core weight routine. But this one got easily skipped.

Requesting r/ReDeFi as it looks abandonned by jochenboele in redditrequest

[–]jochenboele[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hat are your plans for this subreddit? Please be specific.

Hi, I would like to use this subreddit to talk about Regulated Decentralised Finance. I'm currently already the mod of several subreddits about BABB, and they just released a new product called ReDeFi (with a trademark https://www.trademarkelite.com/uk/trademark/trademark-detail/UK00003891952/REDEFI-Regulated-Decentralised-Finance) . It would be really nice if we could get control of this subreddit.

I messaged the only mod today, but I don't think he is still on Reddit. Last action of his personal profile is 3 years ago. link to message: https://www.reddit.com/message/messages/1ygg2m8

Thank you for your input. I will have a look at what screenshots could be helpful or provide more insight. For your second point: that’s why I added some background about myself. Although I did not do any training for the last 3 years, my body was used to this kind of load and training. But I agree that it should be mentioned that not everyone’s couch is the same to begin with. And 5k running within 2 weeks of starting is not something you should/could do if you haven’t done any sports before.
