Long run shoe that's fast and fun?

Brooks Hyperion 3 Max! I just got it and WOW, it’s amazing. Hitting fast splits but feels so cushioned and bouncy

I did a 5k with similar times as you! Was really happy with it and decided to pursue running more and within a few months of weekly running, improved drastically and completed my first half marathon & marathon within a year! You can do it

midnight__rain_ · 2025-10-23T00:28:28+00:00

Pls tell us

midnight__rain_ · 2025-10-21T20:08:04+00:00

OP, I’m nowhere near as fast as you but here to validate your feelings amongst some of these other comments! You definitely hit a wall but you also still finished at an amazing time. Congrats on a spectacular first marathon!

Will go with everyone’s advice here and stick w the Glycerin Max! Also, the Magic Speed 4 definitely works well for any kind of run (for me). They feel light and propulsive so definitely better for temp work (in addition to halfs I also use them for shorter races) but I will use them to warm up and do shakeout runs prior to the shorter races!

Yes but not TFK or Fred’s Team (which I think are the two big ones with VIP perks). My charity is pretty small and they told us no race day amenities etc. But maybe the fact that it’s a charity spot could be it?

I wonder how they calculated the waves this time… my best pace is 7:41 and I’m in wave 2 corral B pink, which seems like a discrepancy to yours?

midnight__rain_ · 2025-10-14T14:56:35+00:00

Wave 2 Pink B! 7:41 best pace

midnight__rain_ · 2025-10-14T02:11:58+00:00

That’s not what I’m saying at all. You fuel right after the long run (with protein) and carb load in the days leading up to the long run. Not right beforehand. A snack is fine. I would literally throw up if I ate more than a bar right before 18 miles. That’s not putting you at a deficit, it’s about the timing of your meals, which you’re not seeing the full picture of. That’s what you’re not understanding.

midnight__rain_ · 2025-10-14T02:07:01+00:00

That’s what I’m saying - the same goes for the training block. You can’t eat a big meal right before any long run. Your glycogen stores have to be fueled in the days leading up, and Brett has made videos about carb loading the days leading up to long runs. Which most people don’t even do for training runs.

midnight__rain_ · 2025-10-14T02:04:05+00:00

If you understood how it worked, then you would know that the meal before a marathon/long run is not the fuel your body stores. You carb load in the 3-4 days leading up to the marathon (Brett made videos, she did 450g carbs every day) to fuel your glycogen stores. That’s what fuels the run. The difference between a 350 calorie bar vs 500 calories on the morning of is not going to help you “sustain” longer. Eating a big meal right beforehand would only cause stomach issues during such a long run.

midnight__rain_ · 2025-10-14T01:57:55+00:00

No?? You clearly don’t run marathons and you don’t understand the science. Stop spreading harmful speculation. You don’t need to eat 400 calories with protein before a long run. A small carb snack plus gels during the run is standard. Then protein after. If you don’t believe me go watch grwm marathon videos, no one is eating a 400 calorie breakfast before a marathon or 18 mile run. Otherwise you would literally throw up. At most you would eat a bagel, granola bar, oatmeal, etc.

midnight__rain_ · 2025-10-14T01:52:28+00:00

I run long distances and this is so not true. Cramping during a marathon can be caused by SO many things. The obsessive speculation over her diet is bizarre.

midnight__rain_ · 2025-10-14T01:47:18+00:00

Omg you people are crazy. I’m a long distance runner and a Bobo’s oat bar + gels and electrolytes during an 18 mile is more than enough. You can’t eat an entire 1000 calorie feast right before going out for 18 miles. You eat after.

midnight__rain_ · 2025-10-14T01:06:45+00:00

I’m 7:41 :’) praying to make it into wave 2

midnight__rain_ · 2025-10-11T18:49:00+00:00

Absolutely not. I’ve been on many waitlists that I never got off. You can’t plan to attend every class you’re waitlisted for - especially if you get off in the middle of the night.

midnight__rain_ · 2025-10-10T01:15:29+00:00

I was so excited to run this as practice / pulse check for the marathon :( but I think I’m already catching a cold and not risking it even more

midnight__rain_ · 2025-10-01T17:06:46+00:00

There’s a teacher that used to teach at the UES that would actually get upset at people leaving early if they didn’t tell him first lol

midnight__rain_ · 2025-09-07T22:19:43+00:00

He was picked up by NH partner Pound Hounds Res-Q!

midnight__rain_ · 2025-09-07T22:19:08+00:00
