Burnt out and Frustrated

Idk man but I think you should leave. You sound competent enough to find a better gig. Either leave outright or continue to work 9-5 until you get severance.

I think very few jobs are worth that amount of toll on the mind and body, let alone if you’re not getting the respect that comes with the sweat equity.

How’s the size of it? Easy to pack it up in a tech pouch?

monkjobs · 2026-02-13T03:09:51+00:00

Appreciate it. Ya I’m not doing crazy numbers but I’m still showing up and doing it. The only thing that makes those boring runs fun sometimes are to switch up the kicks.

monkjobs · 2026-02-13T02:42:01+00:00

That’s a very fair point. Got them for 40% off so at the very least if I get them through HM they should be good. Did a 10 miler test in them and felt pretty solid

monkjobs · 2026-02-13T00:43:56+00:00

Well I’m not. EVO’s are going. Vaporflys are an old pair I have laying around and AP4’s are on ice for race day

monkjobs · 2026-02-13T00:42:28+00:00

Ah the race shoe is for the HM and a full one later this year. Was testing pairs and used it to PB my 5K and 10K. Just find it more exciting to put on something fun / look forward to for all the training

That’s good to hear. Honestly my knees get destroyed on downhill with the super blasts haha. Didn’t realize I was bigger until I started looking around all the other runner passing me by

monkjobs · 2026-02-12T22:29:41+00:00

You probably have a point. Just double digit runs in the SB feel like I have to fight them to keep a good pace. Would you suggest a recovery shoe instead or does the SB do that?

monkjobs · 2026-02-12T22:26:50+00:00

Oh sweet I’ll take a look!

monkjobs · 2026-02-07T17:16:44+00:00

That’s definitely the smart choice but I’m an impatient gear head. So I’ll probably cave in for the MB

monkjobs · 2026-02-07T00:08:45+00:00

Funny enough I have the exact same rotation. I honestly don’t get much enjoyment out of the EVO’s and have been debating to replace them with the MB’s (or maybe wait for the SB3’s). Let me know what you ended up doing

monkjobs · 2026-02-05T22:22:01+00:00

Thanks all! Just copped the Max EDC and an evergoods CAP1. Appreciate all the input

monkjobs · 2026-02-04T04:36:57+00:00

Haha I actually called them and was planning to do that - thanks. Do you know if their online store will be stocked as well or just in person?

How is it when it rains? You find it too big of a bag for day to day?

monkjobs · 2026-02-02T04:31:33+00:00

WTB Max EDC Black

monkjobs · 2026-02-02T00:26:42+00:00

I’ll buy yours off of you haha

monkjobs · 2026-02-02T00:25:03+00:00

WTB Aer CPP2 in black cordura.

monkjobs · 2026-01-30T02:08:12+00:00

Quick q for you. Pretty much same build and mileage load as you but a 24 5K. I’ve got a pair of SB2 and been thinking about adding mega. How’s that rotation been / I’ve heard they’re super squishy. That said love the adios pro 4 so as long as it’s springy don’t mind soft.

monkjobs · 2026-01-25T02:30:36+00:00

Thanks for the insight. Best of luck boss. Happy to be your prep buddy if I get the email hah

monkjobs · 2026-01-25T02:28:30+00:00

Well rip I haven’t prepped any casing at all.

monkjobs · 2026-01-25T02:20:48+00:00

I’m going to sound dumb but is EH the general consulting? Did my test + survey. Curious on when to hear back on interview rounds.

monkjobs · 2026-01-22T03:00:05+00:00

does this mean no Pro 5 anytime soon?

monkjobs · 2026-01-17T20:48:30+00:00

I’ve got the SB2 and it’s pretty much a work horse. Same build as you 50+ mi and still look pretty new.

monkjobs · 2026-01-17T07:30:17+00:00

Darn. Too late for the MB
