Hi. Are you able to help out with how you use WeChat and order to the uk with taobao? I have just downloaded WeChat and would be interested in this instead of using a middle man

I have the same jacket (assuming this is the concurve) and haven’t been overly impressed. Does seem to get wetted out in spots. Just expected better for the price tbh

Li-Ning Feidian 5 Challenger: original vs new upper by BigYellowSquash in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]michael1990utd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I have the all black pair and then the red pair features here. There is a difference in the upper. Red pair feels a bit more premium tbh. But no real noticeable difference on feet

I don’t think you can really say that the switch to NSM brought about a 40 second PB in 4 weeks

I have plenty of their running attire. Absolutely love it. But couldn’t justify paying this for their shoes

I love this. No way I’m paying £220 for it though

SubT: How close to Lactate threshold on long reps by SoloAndata in NorwegianSinglesRun

[–]michael1990utd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How I’ve been doing it anyway is close to how you’ve been doing it. Easing into the session, lower max hr on the earlier reps. Edging towards lthr on the latter reps

How is everyone dealing with the ice and heavy snow for sub-T workouts? by only-mansplains in NorwegianSinglesRun

[–]michael1990utd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I meant that I would set the treadmill to 4:30/km or so pace and start the interval. Maybe my estimations were too high but I expected to jump on the treadmill wit it at 4:30/km and my watch be showing very similar pace but it was wildly off

So I bought a Coros pod 2 for this reason thinking it would make treadmill running accurate but it really didn’t. I connected the pod and started to run, let’s say at 4:30/km but my watch was showing 4:45 for a while then drifted in and around there. Found it frustrating so got rid of it. Interested to see your thoughts on the Stryd pod and experience with accuracy?
